|  August24 |
| |
| 1946 - A big noise was heard at 4:30 a.m. Huge "'projectiles" like |
| rockets made a whistling sound as several of them flew overhead in |
| the town of Bourges, Cher Department, France. Many people were |
| awakened by the noise. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 151). |
| |
| 1947 - On this day three mountain climbers on Snoqualmie Pass, |
| Washington saw a semi-transparent saucer-shaped object that made a |
| buzzsaw sound. Very fast and near witnesses. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 1250, citing Loren Gross, UFOs: A History |
| 1947, p. 62). |
| |
| 1952 - A man driving through some woods at 6:00 a.m. in Frontenac, |
| Kansas encountered a strange object and stopped to watch it. It |
| looked like two turtle shells glued together and was about 25 meters |
| long. There appeared to be a humanoid being in something like a |
| control cabin in front. Windows on the object were lit by an intense |
| blue light and a throbbing sound was also reported. The object was |
| oscillating and suddenly flew straight up with a strong humming |
| noise. The middle section supported what looked like propellers. The |
| object hovered three meters above the ground. (Sources: Project Blue |
| Book; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, pp. |
| 199-200). |
| |
| 1952 - Hermanas, Mexico. 10:15 a.m. Georgia Air National Guard F-84G |
| jet fighter pilot Col. G.W. Johnson. Two six-foot silver spheres in |
| abreast formation, one turned grey rapidly, the other slowly. One |
| changed to long grey shape during a turn. Sighting lasted about 10 |
| minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - Tucson, Arizona. 5:40 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. George White. One |
| large round, metallic, white light with a vague lower surface, flew |
| slowly, then fast With a dancing, wavering motion, for about one |
| minute. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - Levelland, Texas. 9:30 p.m., 10:30 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer |
| Sharp. One object, shaped like a spinning top, changing color from |
| red to yellow to blue, and with a fiery tail, hovered for 20 minutes, |
| whistling, then flew away. It, or another like it, returned an hour |
| later. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1954 - Egilstadir, Iceland. At 8:30 p.m. a farmer saw a small |
| cylindrical flying object, 2-2.5 feet long and 4-5 feet in diameter |
| that made a loud whizzing sound. It flew straight, level and fast; |
| then slowed down and fell into a sandbar. (Source: Don Berliner, |
| Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1966 - At ten o'clock in the evening an airman at Minot Air Force |
| Base, North Dakota observed and reported by radio a multi-colored |
| light high in the sky. A strike team was sent to his location and |
| confirmed the presence of the unknown object. A second object, white |
| in color, was seen to pass in front of the clouds. At the radar base |
| an object was detected and tracked. The observations lasted nearly |
| four hours and were confirmed by three different missile sites. Radio |
| interference was noted by teams sent to locations where the object |
| was sometimes described as hovering at ground level. (Source: Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 791). |
| |
| 1967 - At 5:00 p.m. a motorcyclist named Ron Hyde was riding on the |
| Sydney to Melbourne highway between New South Wales and Victoria, |
| Australia when he was suddenly engulfed in a bluish-white light that |
| so dazzling he had to stop, near Wodonga, Victoria. He then saw a |
| metallic object on or near the ground 30 meters away. Its shape was |
| like that of two lens-shaped saucers on top of each other, with a |
| dome on top. It was silvery on top but  the lower half was dark gray, |
| and it was about 10 meters in diameter. It also bore a black mark or |
| insignia. Next to it appeared two human figures about 1.5 meters |
| tall, wearing silvery coveralls and opaque helmets. A gesture from |
| them scared the witness, who drove away but was subsequently followed |
| by the object. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, case # 871, citing FSR, March-April 1968; |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, |
| pp. 11, 473, 480). |
| |
| 1970 - At 10:00 a.m. a small object the size of a car tire landed in |
| front of the school in Rawang Selangor, Malaysia. It was shaped like |
| a turtle shell and had five small windows. Five three-inch- tall |
| humanoids with two horn-like protrusions on their heads emerged from |
| the craft. The humanoids rushed back into the object as a large crowd |
| gathered to watch. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1970, case # 817, citing Ahmad Jamaluddin, FSR, Vol. 28 # |
| 5). |
| |
| 1970 - At 6:35 a.m. three people had just arrived at a bus stop at |
| Lindberg Boulevard and West Road in Olmstead Falls, Ohio when two |
| strange figures approached. The two men were dressed in glowing |
| orange suits from head to foot with only their faces uncovered. Their |
| skin was yellowish. Their headgear was conical and they were carrying |
| a disc-like object over their heads. They stood about five feet tall. |
| |
| The beings got to within 50 feet of a house and then turned and |
| walked away, side-by-side, to a nearby railroad crossing. They stood |
| there for a few minutes, then walked a short distance towards the |
| witnesses. As the witnesses boarded a bus, one of the beings extended |
| his arm upward. At this point they were able to see that the figure |
| was wearing a cape. |
| |
| 1970 - At 9:00 a.m. a nine-year-old girl saw an UFO shaped like a huge |
| bubble come down from the sky and land near her house. Two figures |
| appeared to have been waiting there. When the object landed they |
| entered it. It then rose and quickly disappeared. One of the |
| witnesses at the bus stop went back to the site that evening and |
| found a spot where the high grass was matted and twisted. (Source: |
| Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1970, case # 2629, |
| citing Rick Hilberg). |
| |
| 1972 - USAF jet interceptors were sent after a UFO tracked from |
| Mexico over Texas; teenagers sighted a domed disc-shaped craft at the |
| Dallas-Fort Worth Airport construction site at 9:50 p.m. (Source: |
| APRO Bulletin, July-August 1972, p. 9). |
| |
| 1973 - A formation of 5-12 white, round or oval objects was seen and |
| photographed near Toyama on the west coast of Japan. (Sources: Yusuke |
| J. Matsumura, FSR Case Histories, December 1973, p. 5; Bougard |
| Michel, Inforespace, February 1975, p. 20). |
| |
| 1975 - At 5:00 a.m. in Blaine, Minnesota a 100 foot in diameter gray |
| domed disc-shaped craft was sighted, at an estimated distance of 5 |
| miles. It flew to the south slowly, at an estimated altitude of 760 |
| meters, making no sound. (Source: Flying Saucer Review, April 1976, |
| p. 25; Jay Rath, The M-Files: True Reports of Minnesota's Unexplained |
| Phenomena, p. 38). |
| |
| 1978 - On this afternoon six children from a local school in Hamburg, |
| Germany saw a round silvery object slowly descend and land in an open |
| field. The object had two round black dots on its side. A ladder |
| descended from the craft, and two human-like figures emerged; they |
| wore white helmets and dark uniforms. The witnesses ran to get some |
| help, but upon returning both the object and the figures were gone. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1978 Humanoid Contact Database, case # |
| 205, citing Ulrich Magin). |
| |
| 1978 - At 10:00 p.m. a red-orange object flew in front of a car being |
| driven by a 54-year-old woman, ten miles south of Ottumwa, Iowa. |
| Mist, fog, and condensation were noted. The car engine died and the |
| windshield fogged up by the close presence of the UFO. The nocturnal |
| light then flew behind some trees, after which the engine restarted |
| by itself. (Sources: Allen Hendry, International UFO Reporter, |
| December 1978, p. 14; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
| Interference, page 73; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II:  |
| A Thirty-Year Report, p. 257). |
| |
| 1978 - At 11:40 p.m. in Ginghamsburg, Ohio two orange lights flew |
| close to a car with two 19-year-old teenage girls as passengers, |
| causing the engine to lose power as they drove past. The lights gave |
| off a humming sound. One shone a light beam on the witnesses for |
| about a second. When the witnesses looked back, the lights were gone. |
| (Sources: Allen Hendry, International UFO Reporter, December 1978, |
| p. 14; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, |
| page 73; UNICAT, case 141; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume |
| II:  A Thirty-Year Report, p. 257). |
| |
| 1978 - On this night a luminous craft descended in La Serena, Chile. |
| It was reportedly very big in size. Two beings of human shape |
| (perhaps the same two seen in Germany earlier in the day), paralyzed |
| the witness. He tried to run, but fainted in the roadway. On the same |
| night eight military pilots reported they saw several UFOs maneuver |
| in the area around their air base in Temuco, Chile. (Sources: La |
| Razon, August 27, 1978; Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, |
| October 1978, p. 15; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case A1957). |
| |
| 1982 - On this day children encountered a large UFO on the ground in |
| a fruit plantation in Sarikei, Malaysia. Several midget humanoids |
| with large heads were seen moving near the object. (Source: Ahmad |
| Jamaludin, Center for Malaysian UFO Studies; Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 14434, citing Flying Saucer Review). |
| |
| 1987 -  At 2:30 a.m. a house near Vejle in Denmark was illuminated |
| from above. Three metallic disc-shaped craft with windows were seen |
| hovering only one meter over the roof. Photos were taken but the |
| images came out blank. The incident lasted three minutes. (Source: |
| SUFOI News, issue 14). |
| |
| 1990 - At 8:30 p.m. lights hovered in the sky northeast of the city |
| of Greifswald, Germany for three minutes. They accelerated rapidly |
| forward. There were many (at least six) videos shot and eleven |
| still photographs taken by separate witnesses. (Source: Illobrand von |
| Ludwiger, Best UFO Cases--Europe, p. 70). |
| |
| 1993 - A huge, silent, metallic domed disc hovered overhead in |
| Kettering, England at 9:45 p.m. It had a row of windows in the dome. |
| It flew over homes for a couple of minutes. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case #  16155). |
| |
| 1998 - Luis Cuesta Trinidad and a woman friend were camping near the |
| shoreline on the beach in Mazagon, Extremadura, Spain. At 8:30 they |
| were enjoying the view when they noticed a strange humanoid figure |
| emerge from the water not far from them. The figure came out and |
| began moving its arms in a strange fashion. At first it was standing |
| with its back to them, but when it turned around it became aware of |
| their presence by first noticing the flashlight being held by Luis. |
| It took off running in a strange fashion, without bending its knees. |
| They noticed that its head was hairless, but its body was covered |
| with ample hair, and it had round, slightly Oriental-looking eyes |
| that were orange in color. It was almost two meters tall, with long |
| dangling arms and legs that looked deformed. It was very pale in |
| color with its head was shaped like an inverted pear. It had no nose, |
| and they could not see a mouth. It was totally silent. The witnesses |
| felt nervous during the incident. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1998, case # 3836, citing OVNIS En |
| Extremadura, El Dragon Invisible). |
| |
| 2001 - On this evening there was a terrific meteor shower seen by |
| many, but nothing to compare to the three black triangular UFOs seen |
| at approximately 1:30 a.m. in Joshua Tree, California. The UFOs were |
| seen zipping around rapidly and stopping dead in midair by a man, who |
| reported it to a friend the next morning, who posted the report |
| online.(Source: George A. Filer and David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: |
| Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 81). |
| |
| 2002 - A very bright white disc-shaped object traversed the sky in |
| The Colony, Texas at four o'clock in the afternoon, about 500-700 |
| feet up, heading toward the North at a fairly fast pace. It was |
| viewed through binoculars by a counseling psychologist and his |
| daughter. It seemed to rotate, and changed from a disk to another |
| shape. It was maneuvering in the sky, and no sound was detected. It |
| was descending to the ground at a 25-degree angle. The winds were out |
| of the south at 5-10 mph on a sunny day. (Source: George A. Filer and |
| David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, |
| p. 5). |
