| |
| 1927 - A man by the man of Sweed witnessed a hexagonal flying craft |
| with rivets and a dome that was flying low over a road in |
| Bakersfield, California. A human looking occupant was seen inside a |
| window. The object shot away extremely fast. (Source: Coral & Jim |
| Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, p. 18). |
| |
| 1954  Mrs. Paquet was tending her cows in a field in |
| Moutier-Rozeille, Creuse, France at around ten o'clock in the morning |
| when she suddenly heard a peculiar sounding language which she |
| could not understand. The conversation came from a nearby heather |
| field. Then two men approached to within 50 meters of Mrs. Paquet. |
| One of them turned towards the mill of Mr. Blanchon, emitting a yell |
| and making gestures. Two more men next showed up, and walked in the |
| direction of the Rozeille River, where they then joined the first two |
| and all four vanished. Fiteen minutes later Mrs. Paquet's dog began |
| to bark furiously, and she see a silent dark cigar-shaped object rise |
| into the air and disappear towards the southwest. The men were |
| approximately 1.80 meters in height and wore dark blue combinations |
| suits. (Source: Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier |
| Dossier Complet des Rencontres Rapprochees en France, pp. 184-185, |
| citing La Montagne, October 27, 1954). |
| |
| 1954 - Cisternes-la-Foret, Puy-de-Dome, France. Messrs. J. Augard and |
| J. Chanzotte saw an oval object with a dome, emitting a bright white |
| light and resting in a field. When they approached it the object rose |
| vertically, leaving a reddish trail, and flew off toward the |
| northeast. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight |
| Line Mystery, p. 198; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century |
| of Landings, p. 233). |
| |
| 1954 At Pont lAbbe dArnoult, Charente-Maritime, France Mr. |
| Meunier, a construction supervisor, was terrified by a strange craft, |
| which rose vertically from the ground. He said he had never been so |
| afraid, even during the war. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers |
| and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 196; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 233, case 283). |
| |
| 1954 - Driving a van four miles from Coheix, Puy-de-Dome, France Mr. |
| Bachelard, age 42, was going around a bend in the road at 5:30 p.m. |
| when he felt half paralyzed and his van's motor began missing |
| and slowed to 20 mph. He then saw hovering in a nearby field a |
| motionless, silent elongated or flattened object 30 feet long. A |
| police investigation was conducted. (Source: Aime Michel, Flying |
| Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 198; Richard Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, p. 74; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
| Interference, p. 3). |
| |
| 1954 - An anonymous schoolboy returning from his evening studies in |
| Louvigne-Du-Desert, Ille-Et-Vilaine, France was approaching the |
| hamlet of Salmoniere when he suddenly saw a small being with an odd |
| face, which frightened him enormously. The creature entered a machine |
| that was lying in a ditch, and then the machine rose up in the air at |
| a tremendous rate of speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1954, citing Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture |
| Rationaliste). |
| |
| 1954 Fontenay-Torey, Oise, France. At 8:40 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. |
| Lherminier saw a red, cigar-shaped object dive toward them with a |
| reddish trail and land near the road. Upon reaching the top of the |
| hill, they were confronted by a bulky human figure about one meter |
| (3.3 feet) tall. The creature wore a helmet and his eyes were glowing |
| with an orange light. One witness fainted on the spot. Four others |
| saw the object in flight from separate locations. The countryside was |
| illuminated over 2 or 3 kilometers. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport |
| to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 233; David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1954-104). |
| |
| 1954 - At 8:45 p.m. three witnesses observed a cylinder or rocket |
| shaped device with several illuminated portholes following a complex |
| trajectory along a river in Formerie, Oise department, France. The |
| craft then landed close to the witnesses and several humanoids |
| described as about 1.50 meters in height, with dark skin and wearing |
| metallic helmets and metallic garments, exited the craft. As the |
| witnesses watched stupefied, they suddenly experienced headaches and |
| memory loss. Apparently they did not see the object and its occupants |
| depart. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, |
| citing Claude Poher, GEPA “Statistics from 735 UFO observations”). |
| |
| 1954 In Royan, Charente-Maritime, France Mr. and Mrs. Labassiere |
| and other witnesses saw two discs in the sky at 9:00 p.m, one orange |
| and the other red, with a sort of luminous "bridge" between them. |
| They landed, and one dwarf came out of each craft and went into the |
| other without any sign. After this exchange of pilots both objects |
| flew away with a tremendous flash. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying |
| Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 193; Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 233, case 285). |
| |
| 1954 At 10:45 p.m. Miss Marie Louise Bourriot saw a bright red |
| light on Route N437 near an old factory in St.-Point Lake, Le |
| Vezenay, Doubs, France. She was on a motorbike and saw that the |
| luminous object was over the road. Next to it stood a man of normal |
| stature in a trenchcoat. He was motionless, and he was joined by two |
| dwarves who crossed the road ahead of her. She had to swerve to avoid |
| hitting them.The craft took off, flying over the lake at a high |
| speed. Small footprints were later found at the site. Jean-Luc Rivera |
| thinks that woman was witnessing an abduction taking place, and that |
| the man in trenchcoat was an abductee, and not one of the UFO |
| occupants.  (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 97; Aime |
| Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 197; Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, pp. 233-234; |

| case 1954-106 (A0314); J. Tyrode, FSR Case Histories, October 1970, |
| p. 16; Jerome Clark, Anomalist, April 2000, p. 20).  |
| |
| 1954 - Sometime before midnight 15-year-old Albert Geraud was on his |
| bicycle on route D216 between Andigne and Saint-Martin du Bois, |
| France when he saw a light that turned from green to red. It |
| descended in a jerky motion and landed on the road, revealing a |
| saucer-shaped object giving off a red gleam on the ground. The |
| panicked witness felt like his legs were paralyzed. Inside the object |
| he could see a small being covered with hair, that stared at him with |
| large eyes. Abruptly the object lifted off, emitting a strong gush of |
| wind toward the teenager, and it zipped away in the direction of |
| Lyon. After the incident the witness had to lie prostrate in bed for |
| several days. (Source: Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le |
| Premier Dossier Complet des Rencontres Rapprochees en France, pp. |
| 182-183, citing Ouest France, October 20, 1954; Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1954, case # 2435, citing Figuet & Ruchon). |
| |
| 1954 - At just before midnight salesman Renzo Pugina, age 37, was |
| parking his car in Erba, Como, Italy after returning home from seeing |
| a movie. Pugina noticed a soft glow in the park of the villa, but he |
| attributed this to the moon. After he had climbed a half-flight of |
| stairs connecting the lane to the villa, he observed a strange figure |
| at the top of the steps, near to a tree. The creature was 1.3 meters |
| tall, and facing to the right. The creature was surrounded by a soft, |
| warm light and appeared to be wearing armor. It wore a helmet with a |
| transparent visor, and it seemed most of the light emitted by the |
| creature was concentrated at the top of its head. Its upper body was |
| covered in slightly luminous overalls comprised of metallic scales |
| while the lower part was contained by a large “pipe” 50 cm high and |
| 20 centimeters wide (no legs were visible). A much smaller pipe 1.5 |
| meters in length was attached horizontally to the first one, just |
| centimeters above the ground. Near the end of this pipe was a |
| luminous disc “as large as a bicycle wheel.” Its upper part was |
| dome-shaped and orientated horizontally over the pipe, but there was |
| no contact between the two elements. Pugina continued to climb the |
| steps, but after a few seconds, the creature rotated his trunk |
| towards him. He also slowly rotated his head, as if manipulated by a |
| mechanism. The creature held a flashlight type device in its right |
| hand, and it was directed at the witness, who instantly felt |
| paralyzed when struck by a beam of light. He remained unable to |
| move for some time. Pugina noticed that the outer features of the |
| creatures face were rather normal yet striking, featuring almost no |
| forehead and eyes that were almond-shaped. Its face was olive in |
| shade “as if it had been splashed with motor oil.” Once Pugina was |
| able to grasp a bunch of keys in his hand he regained control of his |
| body . Pugina took a few more steps forward, pronouncing in Italian |
| the word “Marte!” (Mars!). He did this because he thought the being |
| was a Martian, and in order to tell him not to leave. The creature |
| appeared to grimace, and when Pugina advanced another step the |
| creature alighted one meter off the ground and flew away along the |
| villa lane, maintaining a flight path below the tree branches. The |
| flight produced a soft buzzing noise. Pugina ran after him, but the |
| creature disappeared around a curve. The entire sighting lasted but a |
| few minutes. His wife was at home asleep but she woke up when Pugina |
| made a hasty entrance. She saw he was in shock and could not speak, |
| and was shivering. Puginas wife said that her husband shivered the |
| rest of the night. The press reported that Pugina remained in bed for |
| two days after his encounter. Some form of trace material was found |
| on the gravel lane of the villa the following day. It was odorless, |
| dry and greaseless. A couple of days later this trace area had |
| greatly expanded. The local Carabinieri claimed that Pugina was a |
| “normal” individual not known to drink or to suffer from |
| psychological problems. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1954, citing Maurizio Verga, When Saucers Came to Earth). |
| |
| 1965 - At 10:20 p.m. an oval-shaped object with a flashing red light |
| on top and green, red and white lights around the perimeter was seen |
| in Sharon, Massachusetts. It moved slowly 100 feet above ground, and |
| only 500 yards away from the witnesses. (Source: Ray Fowler case |
| files, report dated March 5, 1967). |

| 1967 At nine oclock in the evening in Lake Charles, Louisiana John |
| Herbert witnessed a bright, fiery ball that flashed four times while |
| moving east, just above the treetops. The sighting lasted one minute. |

| |
| 1973 - On this evening two youths were chased by a white "thing" 3-4 |
| feet tall on White Oak Mountain near Chatham, Virginia. The thing had |
| a shimmering body, large head with no eyes, and ran sideways. A green |
| hazy cloud was seen moving away. Several other reports of objects |
| were made in the area. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-45; David F. Webb, 1973: The |
| Year of The Humanoids). |
| 1973 - Later this same night a tiny silver being was seen standing |
| beside US Route 17 near Savannah Georgia. A line of autos slowed down |
| to observed the humanoid, but no one left his car. (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1973-46; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). |
| |
| 1997 - Near Huntsville, Texas 15-year-old Joanna Alice Stevenson was |
| awoken around midnight to find several strange beings standing over |
| her bed. They were humanoids with large craniums, small mouths, and |
| two slits for a nose. She was terrified. She looked out her window |
| and could see a UFO hovering right outside her bedroom window. The |
| creatures that were examining her talked or communicated by using |
| grunts that sounded like a foreign language. Her conscious memory |
| suddenly stopped at this point, and she could only vaguely remember |
| being poked and probed by the aliens. They took blood samples, then |
| let her go by dropping her off in a large field, not far away from |
| her rural home. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database |
| 1997, citing I was abducted.com). |
