| townspeople. It had a clearly distinguishable outline, and a very |
| bright light at the rear. (Source: Loren E. Gross, Mystery of the |
| Ghost Rockets, p. 10). |

| tall, got out and shortly later reboarded the craft. The UFO lifted |
| off silently, and flew off to the southeast.  (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 1000, citing Michel Figeut & Jean-Louis |

| twenty to thirty feet long, crescent-shaped, and flying at an |
| estimated 1,000 feet altitude. It circled in the east for about 30 |
| seconds. The photograph quality was sharp and clear, although the |
| reproduction below is from the newspaper that first published it and |
| suffers from deterioration in quality due to age and print technique. |

| 1967 - At 3:00 a.m. an intense light coming from their patio had |
| awakened the daughter of the Count de Ribas on the Mediterranean |
| island of Palma de Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. From her window |
| she saw two small figures apparently speaking to each other. They had |
| very large heads, possibly due to the presence of helmets, and huge |
| eyes. The witness tried turning on the lights but they did not work. |

| the light had vanished. Two small marks on the outside of the wall |
| were found that could only be removed by scraping the wall; after it |

| bell-shaped shining object descended from the sky to within two feet |
| of the ground. It was about 90 feet in diameter, and it changed |
