|  June 16 |
| |
| 1909 - An elongated object flew toward the east over the town of |
| Donghoi at 4:10 a.m. in Vietnam. It gave off a strong light and was |
| seen by two fishermen to plunge into the sea six kilometers away from |
| the coast after a steady flight lasting about nine minutes. (Sources: |
| Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, p. 21; Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 187). |
| |
| 1948 - A banana or cucumber-shaped object with beams of light was |
| tracked on radar when it descended across the course of Russian test |
| pilot Aprasksin flying over the Kapustin Yar test flight facility in |
| Astrakhan, Soviet Union. The experimental aircraft he was flying |
| experienced a total electrical failure when it was hit by a cone of |
| light, with the engine and controls failing. Although temporarily |
| blinded, he was able to glide the plane to a landing. (Sources: Felix |
| Zigel, unpublished manuscript, p. 124; Geoffrey Falla, BUFORA Vehicle |
| Interference Project, p. 004; Jacques Vallee, UFO Chronicles of the |
| Soviet Union: A Cosmic Samizdat, p. 137). |
| |
| 1952 - A Staff Sergeant saw five gray discs in a arc formation shoot |
| to the east over Walker Field, Roswell, New Mexico at 8:30 p.m. They |
| flew at an estimated speed of 550 mph. A Project Blue Book "unknown" |
| report. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case #1285; Kevin D. Randle, Invasion Washington: UFOs |
| over the Capitol, p. 265; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: |
| April-July, p. 14). |
| |
| 1965 - On this night a bright light seen in the sky over Townsville, |
| Queensland, Australia gradually accelerated, next zig-zagged, |
| and then stopped and started moving three times before disappearing |
| out of sight. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs over the Southern |
| Hemisphere, p. 154). |
| |
| 1966 - Russian oil and gas scientists watched a high flying silent |
| disc-shaped object spiral through the sky east of Elista, Kalmuk, |
| Russia at 9:50 p.m. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case |
| #7772, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #204). |
| |
| 1967 - On this night Mrs. Wallace and her family watched a |
| cone-shaped UFO with rotating green and red flashing lights for one |
| hour over Port McNeill, British Columbia, Canada. (Source: Gene |
| Duplantier, Saucers, Space & Science, Autumn 1967, p. 15). |
| |
| 1972 - A man, Mr. Meerton, leaving his house in Merricks, Victoria, |
| Australia at 8:30 p.m. was confronted by a dull metallic object with |
| 30 orange lights that had just landed in his field. Cows in the |
| pasture panicked. The whole area was illuminated by the UFO, and a |
| strong wind blew that bent the trees over. The UFO also made a high |
| pitched sound like that of an electric mixer. The encounter lasted 90 |
| seconds. (Source: Victorian UFO Research Society, Australian FSR, |
| December 1972, p. 18). |
| |
| 1974 - At about 5:00 a.m. a 46-year-old farm laborer was driving near |
| Caceres, Spain when a bright object illuminated the highway. He saw |
| three tall helmeted figures standing inside the craft. When the |
| witness turned off his headlights the UFO moved away; when he turned |
| them back on the UFO approached, and followed him home. (Sources: |
| Richard Hall, UFO Reports from the Files of the CIA, p. 188; Richard |
| Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 346; |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #147; Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close |
| Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. 193). |
| |
| 1977 - Middelburg, Eastern Cape, South Africa - At 5:15 a.m. a glowing |
| object engulfed a van being driven by a single witness, a Mr. Gouws, |
| in a brilliant light. The man experienced amnesia when exposed to the |
| intense light source and may have possibly been abducted, as he has |
| an hour of time unaccounted for. There was a buzzing sound |
| accompanying the light and the van's engine and lights died. Later |
| the engine restarted spontaneously by itself. Mr. Gouws was so |
| fearful after the incident that he was shaking like a leaf. (Sources: |
| Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, citing MUFON UFO Journal, September |
| 1977; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year |
| Report, p. 256). |
| |
| 1978 - A man had been hitchhiking home after midnight when he spotted |
| a soft glowing object in a nearby field near Borisoglebsk, Voronezh, |
| Russia and walked towards it. As he approached he could see that the |
| object had a transparent dome on top and inside he could see three |
| short humanoids. The dwarf beings had large egg-like heads and very |
| long fingers. They seemed to be working around a central console. |
| When he got to within 25 yards of the object he was stopped by some |
| kind of a force field and blacked out. When he came to he noticed |
| that the briefcase he had been carrying looked old and frayed. The |
| force field was gone, so he again began to walk toward the object but |
| was knocked down by a blast of wind. The craft began to glow and rose |
| off the ground and shot away quickly at high speed. He learned later |
| that he had lost track of 45 minutes of time. Under hypnosis he |
| recalled being gently led into the craft and examined. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, case # 420, citing |
| Fortean Times, issue # 33, quoting Felix Zigel; Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 13211, citing FSR, Vol. 29, No. 5). |
| |
| 1978 - Oulton, England - At 11:15 p.m. a 16-year-old man was returning |
| from his girlfriend's house in a heavy rainstorm when he started |
| hearing a very loud voice "talking nonsensically" all around him. The |
| voice was so loud that he thought it might wake everyone in the |
| village and he compared it to the voice of a radio announcer. The |
| volume rose and fell as though the voice was being blown on the wind. |
| He could not distinguish the words, however, and it faded away after |
| about five seconds. He walked another 50 meters further on when he |
| noticed, through a wooded gate to his right, a cylindrical column of |
| white light. This vertical beam appeared to be on the grounds of a |
| convent and was 200 meters away. It looked to be 3 1/2 meters high |
| and 2 meters in diameter, and it appeared solid and sharply defined. |
| The witness then had the impression that something or someone was in |
| the beam, and he became scared and ran home, having watched the beam |
| for about 5 seconds. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1978, citing Martin Keatman, BUFORA Journal, Vol. 9, No. 1). |
| |
| 1987 - Two amateur astronomers, after having heard a strong hiss, saw |
| on the mirrored water of the Adriatic Sea off the shore of Riccione, |
| Italy a luminescent object of ovoid shape. During the few minutes of |
| the sighting, the object changed coloration several times. (Source: |
| Marco Bianchini, USOCAT by Italian Center for UFO Studies (CISU). |
| http://www.cisu.org/ citing La Gazzetta, June 17, 1987). |
| |
| 1989 - Two brothers were engaged in opal mining in an isolated area |
| of Queensland, Australia on this night, with the nearest community |
| being Yowah. They sighted a large disc-shaped craft accompanied by |
| six smaller objects hovering over the area. A twenty-minute time |
| lapse was reported. Hynoptic regression at a later date revealed an |
| abduction scenario that involved small Grey type entities and tall |
| human-looking beings with long blond hair. There seemed to the |
| brothers that a struggle ensued between the two different groups of |
| beings. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1989, |
| case #1821, citing Keith Basterfield). |
| |
| 1995 - A silent bell-shaped disc flashed and maneuvered over the |
| shore of Puget Sound northeast of Shelton, Washington. It emitted a |
| bright red beam of light. After 10 minutes it flew off towards the |
| northeast. (Source: West Virginia UFO Newsletter, issue #8). |
| |
| 2004 - A chrome colored sphere was sighted over Milan, Tennessee at |
| 12:30 p.m. It flew into a small cloud and didn't emerge again. |
