As it neared she saw it | | was more dirigible-shaped and closed rapidly on a collision course | | with her. It stopped and hovered over the telephone lines opposite | | her car. It was ovoid shaped and made no sound, and was about as long | | as a Piper Club. It had a single bright yellow-white light on the end | | facing her. There were no doors, ports, or landing gear visible, but | | a lateral line like a seam encircled the UFO. It began revolving in a | | clockwise motion on its axis, bringing the other end in view and | | exposing a two-foot platform on which stood a "man" wearing a bulky, | | white, one-piece suit. He was about five and one half feet tall, | | stocky build, and he stood with his left hand against the object and | | his right hand on his hip, staring directly down on the witness. His | | face had a ruddy complexion and his eyes were dark, but he looked | | entirely normal otherwise. The object drifted about on its axis and | | the man was lost from view. Ms. Bricker was so taken aback by the | | experience she could not recall if she actually stopped her car or | | not. She recalled seeing a man and a woman on foot not 20 feet away | | to whom she signaled frantically to catch their attention, but to no | | avail.

Only then did he observe an | | intense light to his right, coming closer. He saw it land on the road | | and locked himself inside the cab of his truck. The craft settled on | | a tripod landing gear; it measured 25 meters in diameter and was 10 | | meters high. Something similar to an elevator came down from it, and | | a man dressed in blue coveralls "with something like a glass fish | | bowl on his head," of medium height, seemed to check something and | | then left. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, case 809). | | | | 1967 - At 5:40 p.m. four observers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | | watched a disc-shaped object for 45 minutes as it buzzed, circled, | | and flipped over several times, then shot off to the south.

Schuessler, Skylook, February | | 1974, p. 16). | | | | 1974 - At 9:00 p.m. a disc-shaped object paced a car with six | | witnesses north of Glenham, North Dakota causing electrical system | | interference. The UFO followed the witnesses home. Small windows were | | seen through binoculars. (Source: Robert Emenegger, UFOs: Past, | | Present and Future, p. 128). | | | | 1975 - Carlos A. Diaz was walking home from the bus after a late | | night at 3:30 a.m. in Puerto Ingeniero, a town outside Bahia Blanca, | | Buenos Aires, Argentina when he saw a blindingly bright that emitted | | a bent beam of light and found himself paralyzed. He then heard a | | humming noise and was levitated off the ground. He fainted, and when | | he came to he was inside a spherical room about 8 feet in diameter | | with luminous walls. Three beings, about 5' 9" tall, entered the | | sphere. Their heads were half the size of human heads, shaped | | like smooth green knobs, with small noses and small ears, and | | were completely devoid of hair. They were dressed in pale cream | | colored "rubber" suits that covered their entire bodies up to their | | necks. Although their arms terminated in fingerless stumps, they were | | nevertheless able to pull out large clumps of Diaz's, but this caused | | him no pain. They even pulled out some hair from his chest. Finally | | Diaz fainted again, and when he awoke he found himself lying beside a | | road outside Buenos Aires. The time was 7:30 a.m. but his watch had | | stopped at 3:50 a.m. He was nauseous the entire day, and was taken | | to hospital. (Sources: Pedro Romaniuk, FSR, November 1975, p. 39; | | David F.

He | | took five photographs, then felt himself being levitated upward and | | he lost consciousness. He recovered conciousness in a small cubicle | | only five feet in diameter. There was a row of blinking orange lights | | that encircled the room at waist height. He remembered being in this | | compartment for less than a minute. He then fainted again | | and recovered consciousness near his home. His father told him that | | he had been gone for nearly an hour. The photographs of the UFO were | | overexposed and out of focus. There were two other witnesses who | | briefly witnessed the flying disc in Brownstown.

There was a red glow | | coming from the windows in the craft. It faded from view after four | | minutes. (Source: Donald R. Todd, APRO Bulletin, January-February | | 1975, p. 5).  | | | | 1975 - At 6:55 p.m. in Laulne pres de Lessay, Manche department, | | France a domed disc-shaped craft 15 meters long with portholes, took | | off from a landing on  a farm. It had three legs as landing gear. The | | principal witness was 12-year-old Yvon Vildier, but two more adult | | witnesses named Marie LeClere and Richard (first name only) observed | | it as a light in the sky. It left behind traces on the ground and a | | petroleum odor. The ground marks included three large landing pod | | imprints, irregularly spaced in a triangle 1 m x 1.6 m x 2.5 m, and | | three small center clustered imprints. The entire event from first | | observing a luminous phenomenon in the area to the disappearance of | | the craft lasted 20 minutes.

It was about 30 feet | | away from him, about 15 feet high, a luminous white color, and | | resting on five thin legs. A door in the craft opened and a very tall | | man, at least two meters tall, emerged. He wore tight, white luminous | | coveralls and had long blond hair. On the back of each hand was a | | green circle. He walked stiffly with his arms extended in front of | | him, in the manner of a sleepwalker. When the boy sneezed, this | | “giant” turned toward him, and Jean Claude ran home. A short while | | later he was sent out by his mother to get some milk, and while | | returning home he saw the same being again. It was following him on | | the sidewalk 80 feet behind, still with its arms held out stiffly in | | front of him. Jean Claude ran home. Note: An almost identical | | humanoid was seen in Chamouilley, France in October of that same | | year. It had similar features, was tall and had blond hair, and it | | also walked in the manner of a sleepwalker with one slight | | difference, it appeared to be wearing tight-fitting goggles. | | (Sources: Charles Bowen, Saga UFO Report, November 1976, p. 62; Bil | | Gil Helair, Skylook, May 1976, p. 5; Alain Gamard, UFO Register, | | volume 7, p. 44; Jean-Claude Bourret, OVNI l' Armee Parle, p. 146; | | David F.

Both of the observers were paralyzed and frozen in | | place for five minutes, 150 meters away from the craft. The UFO | | emitted a solid coherent light beam. (Sources: Bertil Soderquist, | | MUFON UFO Journal, January 1978, p. 18; Richard H. Hall, The UFO | | Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 270). | | | | 1977 - At 2:30 a.m. EST in Napanee, Ontario, Canada three police | | officers watched a bright object hovering over the Lennox Hydro | | Electric Power Station. A red NL nocturnal light bounced up and down | | for 10 minutes. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # | | 11901; MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 118). | | | | 1977 - At 4:10 a.m. a 30 foot in diameter domed disc was seen over | | power lines near the town of Bednesti, 20 miles west of Prince | | George, British Columbia, Canada on Highway 16. A beam of energy | | struck two witnesses in separate cars, and both experienced 20 | | minutes of missing time. (Source: Michael Sinclair, APRO Bulletin, | | March 1977, p. 1; Joseph Kovacs, report to CUFOS, January 14, 1977). | | | | 1977 - At 8:00 a.m. two teenagers in Wrexham, Wales took photographs | | of four disc-shaped objects flying in a procession of objects. Their | | clear photos were analyzed and pronounced as genuine by the Kodak | | film company. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # | | 11903; Warrington, UFOs: a British Perspective, p. 89). | | | | 1977 - At 8:00 p.m. a gray, 15 meter disc-shaped object hovered | | silently at 25 meters altitude near Eriswell, Suffolk, England for 20 | | minutes, 100 meters away. It then shot up into the sky and flew away. | | There were two witnesses and a dog present. (Source: Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case # 11906). | | | | 1979 -  Two members of the Quezet family in Mindalore, Gauteng | | province, South Africa experienced a 20 minute episode of missing | | time in the pre-dawn hours when they had a close encounter with an | | ovoid object that made a buzzing sound. Meagan Quezet and her 12-year | | old son Andre were out looking for their dog shortly after | | midnight after they heard it barking. Soon they noticed a peculiar | | pink glow beyond a tarmac road. Thinking that it was a police car, | | they approached the area. As they reached the glow they noticed that | | it came from a peculiar egg-shaped craft resting on the ground on | | several thin leg-like protrusions. The intense pink glow emanated | | from the top of the craft. Suddenly5 or 6 men jumped to the ground | | from an opening in the craft. One walked to the far end of the | | object, two remained standing in front of it, and two others | | approached the witnesses. The men appeared to speak among themselves | | in a loud "sing-song" unintelligible language; two kneeled down and | | appeared to touch the asphalt. All the men wore tight-fitting white | | suits; all but two had hoods that covered most of their faces. The | | one who appeared to be the leader approached Mrs. Quezet and spoke to | | her in a high-pitched unintelligible voice. He made a slight bow | | towards her as if in a form of salute. He had a black beard, frizzy | | black hair, and slanted eyes and dark olive skinned complexion. Soon | | the men walked back to the craft and entered the object, the craft | | then emitted a whistling sound, the thin leg-like protrusions | | telescoped back into the craft, which then rose up and disappeared | | into the clouds. Under hypnosis the witness recalled being taken | | inside the object where she saw chairs, panels and a table. She was | | asked to come with them but she refused.  (Source: Xenolog, March | | 1979, p. 19). | | | | 1979 - Jean Hingley had waved goodbye to her husband as he went off | | to work in the bitter cold morning in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, | | England at around 7:00 a.m. Then she saw a light in the garden. | | Thinking her husband had left the carport light on, she went out to | | investigate, but it was still to dark, so she returned to the | | kitchen. She put down some food for the family Alsatian dog, Hobo, | | and called him from the garden, but he flopped down as if he had been | | drugged and gazed at the ceiling, glassy eyed. Then, with a "zee-zee" | | noise, three weird looking creatures flew past her into the lounge. | | There were only three and a half feet tall, and had waxy white faces | | and coal-black eyes with no eyebrows and very thin mouths. They wore | | silvery uniforms, with a transparent fish-bowl type helmet over their | | heads. They also had transparent wings, and floated. Jean was left | | clinging to the sink, paralyzed, but she next suddenly also floated | | towards the lounge. Jean noticed that the aliens were inspecting the | | ornaments on their Christmas tree with interest. She said they also | | probed her mind with telepathy, "it was like a light or an X-ray | | penetrating." They told her telepathically that she would not be | | harmed, and when she asked them where they were from, one of them | | reported "we come from the sky." She then explained to them why the | | house was all decorated, to celebrate Jesus's birthday. "We know all | | about Jesus," they claimed. They said they would return. They also | | claimed that "we come down here to talk to people but they don't seem | | to be interested." Finally, when she showed them how to light a | | cigarette, they fled in terror, taking a mince pie with them. Outside | | in her garden was an egg-shaped object with windows. They floated | | into it and it took off, emitting a bluish flash and pulsating twice | | before disappearing with a flash. The dog returned to normal, and | | Jean called the police. Her electric wall clock had stopped, and all | | her cassette tapes were magnetized and unplayable. In the snow | | outside where the object had sat, there was an oval outline, which | | the local UFO group was able to photograph before the snow melted. | | (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, 1979 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, | | case # 440, citing Alfred Budden, Fortean Times, issue # 50; Jenny | | Randles, Abduction). | | | | 1979 - In the town of Bannalec, Finistere, France a 15 meter in | | diameter circular object hovered near the ground at around 10 p.m. | | for three minutes. It had a blue halo, and shot away very fast. | | (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, February 1979). | | | | 1979 - At 6:20 p.m. three red triangle-shaped UFOs were sighted over | | Interstate 290 in Auburn, Massachusetts; AM and CB radios were | | affected. There was steering loss, loss of power, and the main | | witness's car was reportedly levitated as well. Ms. Emery felt heat, | | paralysis, and she had a skin rash as the result of her close | | encounter. The UFOs flew off to the northwest. Also during this | | period of repeated sightings of low level lights and a diamond-shaped | | object over the area, a witness reported seeing a 7-8 foot tall hairy | | figure in a field at 11:00 p.m. near Sturbridge, Massachusetts. He | | shone a spotlight at it and the creature ran towards him. The witness | | fired three shots at it and then ran away, shooting one more time | | over his shoulder. The shots appeared to have no effect on the | | creature, but it stopped and did not pursue him further.

It looked to him more like a holographic image than a | | solid figure. The being apparently communicated with the witness | | using telepathy. Among the many things mentioned was that his race | | regularly transported human beings to other planets in order to | | colonize them. When a planet was in danger of overpopulation they | | somehow started a war in order to reduce the number of inhabitants on | | that planet. He also warned that the Earth was in danger of "breaking | | in half." Apparently the witness's wife slept through the entire | | encounter. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1980, case #3423, citing Jenny Randles). | | | | 1980 - A light in the sky flashed and changed colors as it moved over | | Santa Ponsa, Islas Malgrata, Baleares, Spain at 8:00 p.m. It made | | upward jumps in an oscillating motion, and would stop cold at times. | | Three powerful lights in a triangle pattern were higher in the sky, | | changing color from orange to blue to white, and making left-to-right | | moves. (Source: Richard Heiden, UFO Newsclipping Service, June 1980, | | p. 10, citing Baleares, January 6, 1980). | | | | 1986 - Police and several other witnesses in Mineral Point and | | Vermont, Wisconsin (both located in Iowa County) saw a silent | | nocturnal light at low altitude that hovered, turned, and made other | | maneuvers. It was covered on the local TV news. (Sources: Robert | | Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, case 1076; Jay Rath, The W-Files: True | | Reports of Wisconsin's Unexplained Phenomena, p. 84). | | | | 1992 - A luminous glowing ball of light flew eastward in a descending | | staircase flight trajectory over Longchaumois, Jura department, | | France at 8:45 p.m. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 312). | | | | 1994 - On this night a disc-shaped object with portholes and lights | | was sighted over Wilsden, West Yorkshire, England. The lights on the | | craft turned off when an airplane passed nearby. (Source: UFO | | Newsclipping Service, February 1994). | | | | 1995 - Beginning at around 10:00 p.m. a silent, sky-blue colored | | disc-shaped object hovered for five minutes over Errington, Nanaimo, | | British Columbia, Canada. There were small red discs on the bottom of | | the object and a beam of light along the middle. It was back the next | | night at the same time as well. (Source: Chris Rutkowski, 1995 | | Canadian UFO Survey, case # 5, citing the National Research Council). | | | | 1997 - B. C., a 57-year-old farmer living in Ille et Vilaine, | | Chantepie, France was awakened at two a.m. by a noise like an | | explosion and a strident whistling sound. His wife continued to | | sleep. He got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get something to | | eat. Suddenly he saw a bright flash of light outside. He looked out | | the French windows of his farmhouse and saw lights in the middle of a | | field resembling headlights. He grabbed his shotgun and went out to | | investigate. Running toward the light, he attempted to shout a | | warning, but oddly no sound came out of his mouth. He next was hit by | | some invisible force field and was unable to move. He then saw two | | small beings emerge from the luminous form. The figures looked to be | | transparent and passed close to him, seemingly unaware of his | | presence. The figures then walked toward the nearby barn. At the same | | time he felt a prickling sensation and began to sweat. The small | | beings walked by him a second time and disappeared inside the | | luminous form. The light shot up into the sky vertically at an | | incredible speed. B.
