|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1947 – At 11:30 at night in the North Sea an RAF Mosquito pilot |
|
|||
|
|
| picked up a strange object on radar 50 miles north of the coast of |
|
|||
|
|
| Holland. The UFO seemed to be taking evasive maneuvers when |
|
|||
|
|
| approached by the fighter aircraft. The UFO was pursued for 30 |
|
|||
|
|
| minutes until over the Norfolk, England coast, at which point the |
|
|||
|
|
| object darted away. (Source: APRO Bulletin, December 1977, p. 7). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1955 – At 1:00 p.m. a pilot of a light plane flying over Talara, Peru |
|
|||
|
|
| encountered a domed, disc-shaped UFO maneuvering at 20,000 feet. It |
|
|||
|
|
| focused a beam of light onto his plane. He gave chase but the disc |
|
|||
|
|
| ascended to an altitude too high to follow. (Source: Dominique |
|
|||
|
|
| Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 24, citing the APRO Bulletin). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1957 – The crewmen of a USAF B-25 flying northwest of Fort Worth, |
|
|||
|
|
| Texas sighted a round, white light at eight o’clock in the evening |
|
|||
|
|
| making rapid maneuvers in the night sky. It made several 45-degree |
|
|||
|
|
| turns. The radio compass flipped over toward the UFO and held there |
|
|||
|
|
| during the duration of the 40-minute sighting. (Source: USAF Project |

|
| Blue Book files counted in official statistics). |
|
|||
|
|
| |
|
|||
|
|
| 1958 – At 2:30 a.m. a doctor in Villa Velha in the Brazilian state of |
|
|||
|
|
| Espirito Santo and three others witnessed a large silent metallic |
|
|||
|
|
| Saturn-shaped UFO hovering offshore. It directed a beam of light |
|
|||
|
|
| downward into the ocean. Later than same day a famous set of |
|
|||
|
|
| photographs of a Saturn-shaped UFO was taken at 12:15 p.m. from a |
|
|||
|
|
| Brazilian Navy ship participating in the International Geophysical |
|
|||
|
|
| Year explorations, and anchored at Trindade Island in the Atlantic |
|
|||
|
|
| Ocean. Sr. Barauna, the ship’s photographer took the photographs, but |
|
|||
|
|
| over 100 witnesses aboard ship witnessed the maneuvering UFO. The |
|
|||
|
|
| four photos are somewhat over exposed, but show the object reversing |
|
|||
|
|
| direction and flying back over a craggy mountaintop. (Sources: Loren |

|
|
| 1966 – At four o’clock in the morning, Mr. Coquil, age 23, was |
|
|||
|
|
| driving by a pasture in Kerrodien en Bolazec, France when he saw a |
|
|||
|
|
| luminous, box-shaped UFO rise from the roadside. The object was about |
|
|||
|
|
| five meters in length and had portholes and red lights on the |
|
|||
|
|
| corners. It passed over his car and landed in a field on the other |
|
|||
|
|
| side of the road. (Sources: Phenomenes Spatiaux, March 1966; APRO |

|
|||
|
|
| 1967 – At 6:10 p.m. a man in Charleston, South Carolina saw two round |
|
|||
|
|
| objects in the sky. They were described as silver and blue with a red |
|
|||
|
|
| ring. A beam of light projected from the end. Radar contact with the |
|
|||
|
|
| object was initially confirmed but later discounted by later analysis |
|
|||
|
|
| of the weather conditions at the time. Six people traveling in a car |
|
|||
|
|
| between Mount Sunapee and Warner, New Hampshire at around 7 p.m. |
|
|||
|
|
| encountered a dark, battleship-gray Manta Ray shaped UFO with two |
|
|||
|
|
| lights. It paced their car for three minutes and later swooped low |
|
|||
|
|
| over a home. (Sources: Gordon D. Thayer, in Edward Condon (ed.) |

|
| 1969 – While driving down a highway in Las Pajanosas, Spain in |
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
| rectangle on or near the ground at 10:30 p.m. His dog began howling. |
|
|||
|
|
| The silhouettes of beings could be seen moving around in front of the |
|
|||
|
|
| lighted source for the ten minutes the UFO was on the ground. Later |
|
|||
|
|
| investigation found three apparent landing imprints, arranged in a |
|
|||
|
|
| triangle six feet apart. (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, |

|
|
| 1973 - At 7:00 p.m. a domed, metallic object followed a car near |
|
|||
|
|
| Winston-Salem, North Carolina and the car was raised off the road by |
|
|||
|
|
| the object. The two witnesses felt weightless and they could not |
|
|||
|
|
| control the car until the object had departed. (Source: Mark |

|
|||
|
|
| appeared over the southwestern part of Moscow, Russia. It was |
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
| grayish-blue surface, but was distinctly visible against the blue |
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
| of David in Panama, sighted an oval-shaped UFO in the evening while |
|
|||
|
|
| walking home from night school. The UFO was spinning and gave off |
|
|||
|
|
| orange and blue lights. It stopped and changed direction without |
|
|||
|
|
| turning, and made no sound. (Source: Jane Thompson, UFO Newsclipping |

|
|||
|
|
| experience radio interference when a huge black, delta-shaped craft |
|
|||
|
|
| passed by at a low altitude. The UFO rose to a higher altitude and |
|
|||
|
|
| flew off rapidly toward the east. At 7:50 p.m. in Gulf Breeze, |
|
|||
|
|
| Florida a red ball of light was sighted over the Sikes Bridge. It |
|
|||
|
|
| moved west, hovered, and then drifted in the sky for five minutes. |
|
|||
|
|
| That same evening in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma a UFO that first |
|
|||
|
|
| appeared as a white light made an abrupt turn and revealed four red |
|
|||
|
|
| lights. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, January 1997; Bruce S. |

|
|||
|
|
| outside to view it more closely. The multi-colored disc-shaped object |
|
|||
|
|
| was rolling in loops on a trajectory that passed in front of a nearby |
|
|||
|
|
| building. It continued rolling as it flew away, and was in view for |
|
|||
|
|
| three minutes. (Source: Mary Margaret Zimmer, MUFON field |

|
|||

|
|||
|
|
| around its center was seen in the sky for five minutes. It was silver |
|
|||
|
|
| in color with black circles, and a silver framework was visible on |
|
|||
|
|

|
|||

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
