| car at just 120 meters altitude. It was about 50 to 60 feet in |
| diameter with a series of windows about the size of a door around its |
| girth. The windows were lit and the light behind them was revolving. |

| |
| 1980 - At around 4 p.m. a woman in Bisuschio, Italy went outside to |
| hang some linen to dry and was looking towards a nearby hill when she |
| saw a strange dwarf creature in a tree about 50 meters away. He was |
| about 30-40 cm tall, and was wearing black clothing. She went back |
| inside and looked at the creature again out a window, at the same |
| time calling her son to come see. She also called her mother in-law |
| on the telephone. The boy observed the tree with a pair of binoculars |
| but was unable to distinguish any additional features. The being |
| appeared to move from branch to branch, and then seemed to stand on a |
| very thin branch that appeared incapable of supporting his weight. |
| The humanoid looked to be trying to conceal his face with his hand. |
| He soon disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1980, citing Denys Breysse, Project Becassine). |
| |
| 1980 - In Botafuegos, Spain later that same night five witnesses, |
| including Rafael Tobajas, spotted a low flying whitish-orange |
| luminous object lifting off from some nearby woods. Minutes later the |
| object divided into three separate luminous sections, then re-united |
| again into one luminous spot. Using a pair of binoculars, they |
| watched the lighted object descend in a falling leaf motion. Near the |
| ground two huge man-like silhouettes appeared in front of the lights. |
| They were grayish in color and over three meters in height. They made |
| huge leaps and strides over the ground, jumping easily over |
| obstacles, but they seemed to move in slow motion and stayed in front |
| of the luminous orbs of lights. According to Tobajas, the humanoid |
| forms stopped briefly by a small creek and seemed to bend down |
| several times. The humanoids suddenly began running at witnesses, who |
| became terrified and drove away frantically from the area. The tall |
| gray humanoid forms persisted in chasing the witness's vehicle for |
| several minutes. Tobajas reportedly encountered similar humanoid |
| figures at night, one year later. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1980, citing Dr. Jimenez del Oso and J. J. |
| Benitez). |
| |
| 1980 - At 10:00 p.m. Carlos Vommaro, age 22, was driving home from |
| dinner at his girlfriend's house westbound on Route 22 between the |
| towns of Ingeniero Huergo and Cervantes in Rio Negro province, |
| Argentina when he noticed a strong glowly light over a field 200 |
| meters away, on the left side of his truck and at about 30 meters |
| altitude. He described the object as having two big "L" structures |
| with a luminous rectangular form inside. The edges of the luminous |
| "L's" seemed to be covered in a diffused vapor that seemed to reflect |
| the light. Perplexed, Vommaro watched the object as it came parallel |
| to him. Vommaro then decided to escape, speeding up to about 60 mph |
| when suddenly everything around him became dark and he blacked |
| out. When Vommaro woke up he found himself leaning over the steering |
| wheel. The light was now on top of the vehicle, and suddenly from the |
| area of the luminous rectangular area a beam of light shot out, which |
| seemed to spread out in width the further away it got. The beam of |
| light covered the vehicle, but not its interior; it seems to be |
| stronger at the point of origin. Terrified, Vommaro jumped out of his |
| vehicle, running for help but the road is completely deserted. A |
| couple of minutes later he saw a car approaching from the direction |
| of General Roca, and he frantically tried to flag down the car. The |
| car slowed down briefly, but then sped away. Perhaps the approaching |
| driver had seen the luminous object still hovering above the road. |
| After coming to his senses Vommaro now realized he was outside of the |
| town of Cervantes, located more than 15 km away from were he had |
| been, and he has about an hour of missing time he can't account for. |
| When he got home his dogs reacted strangely, did not seem to |
| recognize him, and attempted to attack him. The next day he suffered |
| from lack of appetite, weakness, lumbar back pain, and leg pain. |
| There was also some damage to his car. There were numerous other UFO |
| reports that evening from Argentina and Chile. (Sources: Jane Thomas, |

| province, Argentina saw an object shaped with a triangle high in the |
| sky over the Andes Mountains shortly before 11:00 p.m. It remained |

| the lights visible. After several more minutes the lights gyrated |
| and blinked out, and they could see the dark triangle again |
| silhouetted against the background. (Sources: Jane Thomas, UFO |

| to the horizon.There was a total of 10 witnesses. (Sources: Jane |

| a LAM Boeing 737 airliner witnessed a hovering object with intense |
| lights like searchlights arranged in a triangle, off the coast of |

| with three lights, which hovered for more than an hour, and then |
| climbed vertically out of sight. The object was tracked on radar. |

| 1989 - Two men were recording music in their apartment in Levittown, |
| New York at around 9:00 p.m. when they began to hear strange noises |
| coming from outside. Going to a window, they saw two US government |
| helicopters hovering overhead. They then saw two more flying in |
| tandem, and between them was a huge, shiny metallic object with |
| multicolored lights. Both witnesses ran outside, jumped into their |
| car, and began following the UFO and the mystery helicopters. Once on |
| the expressway the helicopters left and the giant object turned into |
| a ball of fire before their eyes. Both witnesses then suffered a |
| blackout. When they recovered they realized they were now driving |
| towards the entrance of a bridge. Later, one man recalled being in a |
| room with several short humanoids with large black eyes. He also |
| claimed seeing numerous symbols resembling hieroglyphics. (Sources: |

| light. The next odd thing that happened is that a firetruck appeared |

| expedition had stopped on the roadside near San Antonia Oeste, |
| Argentina after becoming too sleepy to continue driving. They woke up |
| with sketchy memories of being visited by several short, hairless |
| beings who wore luminous white suits and had apparently taken them |
| away for physical examinations. The primary witness felt pain in her |
| left arm. They also realized that their vehicle was parked at a |
| different spot than it had been parked, that was miles away from the |
| original site. Under hypnosis one of the younger witnesses remembered |
| the little men had been accompanied by a tall, heavyset being, with |
| large eyes, a baldhead, long arms, wearing a gray outfit. The tall |
| being was the one apparently in charge, and directed the activities |
| of the little men. Another member of the group remembered being |
| floated out of the vehicle into a dark place. The primary witness |
| also remembered several tall female beings performing some type of |
| operation on her left arm. Locals reported seeing luminous objects in |
| the sky around the same time. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1995, case # 3206, citing CIFO Argentina). |

| with a hazy, "flag like" outer shell waving like a flag in the middle |
| of the ocean, with air distortion due to heat. At first one witness |
| thought it was a flock of birds, but dismissed the idea because his |
| friend, who lived there, said"there aren't any birds out here at this |

| like a cigar-shaped object. However, when it started to move it |
| changed shape into an oval shape, then it turned and came straight at |
| them. As it flew over they saw three lights on the object, one |
| flashing, and it again changed its shape into a diamond. At this |
| point there were there were four lights on the bottom of the object, |
| which appeared to be 15 feet wide and about 10 feet long. As it |
