His horse became very nervous. The object | | was estimated to be 15 meters in diameter and 5 meters high, and he | | witnessed four or five dwarfish figures running back and forth within | | 6 meters of the object. He heard their sharp, childlike voices. The | | dark object then took off with a machine-like sound and rush of air. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia, pg. 189). | | | | 1947 - A bright metallic ovoid object was seen from the highway in | | Weiser, Idaho by a Mrs. Erickson and her daughter at 6:15 p.m. The | | UFO zigzagged to the southwest. It and a second object were in view | | for three minutes before vanishing. (Sources: Donald E. Keyhoe, | | Flying Saucers Are Real, p. 24). | | | | 1952 - At 4:00 p.m. several disc-shaped UFOs followed an airliner | | over Mill Valley in Marin County, California for five minutes. | | (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 12). | | | | 1952 - At 7:30 p.m. A U.S. Army Major and a Lt. Colonel, using | | binoculars, watched an orange ball with a tail fly with a low angular | | velocity in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Randle, Invasion Washington: UFOs | | over the Capitol, p. 264). | | | | 1952 - At 11:26 a.m. at a U.S. Air Force radar facility in Marakesch, | | Morocco Sgt. H. D. Adams, operating an SCR-584 radar set, tracked an | | unidentified radar blip moving at 650 knots (750 mph) and at an | | altitude greater than 60,000 feet. (Sources: Project Blue Book files | | counted in official statistics, case #1270; Don Berliner, Project | | Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1957 - At 7:30 p.m. in Milano, Italy Mr. G. U. Donadio, a translator | | for export-import firm, sighted a UFO as "big as a hen's egg" that | | flew very fast, zigzagged, hovered and revolved, then shot straight | | up and away after 17 minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook | | UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1958 - near Le Brusc, France - Three fishermen had gone to sea on the | | Mediterranean Sea at night to set their nets. It was a very clear, | | starry night, and the sea was calm. A big orange-colored ball of | | light descended very quickly towards the sea, and soon it became a | | great big globe lying on the surface of the water. "Just lightly | | touching the waves it remained there for several minutes, but we had | | the impression that it was revolving, like a wheel turning round and | | round on the same place." It caused a strong air disturbance for they | | could see the water being whipped up around it. The ball came rolling | | toward the fishermen's boat, and they were terrified that it would | | collide with them. It didn't in fact go over them but passed very | | close by, making such big waves that they nearly capsized. They felt | | a powerful blast of heat and a strong blast of air. As it went by it | | made a faint humming noise. Comparing it to their boat, it seemed to | | be about 4 meters in diameter. Moving along by leaps, | | half-disappearing among the waves, it made a right-hand turn and | | disappeared on the horizon.

(Source: APRO Bulletin, July-August 1961, p. 1). | | | | 1964 - A domed disc-shaped UFO hovered near the main power station in | | Hallam, Victoria, Australia at 5:55 p.m. It then flew away to the | | northwest toward Melbourne. (Source: Michael Hervey, UFOs over the | | Southern Hemisphere, p. 100). | | | | 1964 - Police Chief Richard Crawford of Elmore, Ohio spotted a | | bright, motionless blinking object emitting multi-colored lights near | | the intersection of Route 51 and Nissen Road at 10:15 p.m. Some kind | | of halo surrounded it. After about 20 minutes a spotlight was aimed | | at the object, and it went away. It was again seen at the local | | school half an hour before midnight, at an altitude of about 1000 | | feet, flying at a good speed to the northwest, toward the town of | | Genoa. It made the sound of a bullet flying by one's ear. Crawford | | radioed another policeman and asked him to meet him at a certain | | point. The other officer arrived there first, and witnessed the | | object giving off bursts of light once per second. It took off again | | when Crawford arrived, changed course at high speed, and was lost to | | sight in a few seconds. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Challenge to | | Science: The UFO Enigma, pg. 37). | | | | 1974 - On this day a UFO with bouncing movements, or "a bobbing up | | and down" hovered over tree tops near Grantham, North Carolina for 20 | | minutes. The craft had windows and a row of lights estimated to be | | about 15 feet long. It also made a whirring noise. (Sources: George | | D. Fawcett, Flying Saucers, December 1974, p. 39; Frank Harrison, | | Skylook, July 1974, p. 20). | | | | 1975 - A diamond shaped object landed on a gravel road in a | | mountainous area of Big Chimney, West Virginia shortly before 10:00 | | p.m. It was witnessed by four members of the Crichfield family. Four | | landing gear imprints were found at the site. (Sources: Center for | | UFO Studies case files, letter dated August 3, 1975; Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, citing Alan Landsburg, In Search of | | Extraterrestrials, p. 8) | | | | 1977 - In Bardney, England this afternoon a group of boarding school | | boys, concealed on the opposite side of a hedge, saw a black "stick | | man" with a round, featureless head, "jolting" along about 150 meters | | away. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case A1736). | | | | 1977 - A man would had just been laid off work was attending a | | meeting of his colleagues in Crystal Lake, Illinois to discuss the | | matter. During the course of the meeting he'd had half a dozen beers. | | About 11 p.m. he left the hotel for some fresh air. Outside he | | immediately saw approaching him three small figures emerging from an | | alley adjacent to the hotel. His first thought was that they were | | coming for him, but he noticed a fourth being lying directly in front | | of him on the ground, only a few yards away. It was doubled up, with | | its back toward him, as if injured. He also noticed a strange absence | | of sound, in that he was unable to hear any traffic sounds coming | | from the street. The beings were about 4 feet 10 inches tall, with | | small, slender bodies and large baldheads. They were wearing glass | | fish bowl-type helmets, with a metallic band attached from the | | helmets to their uniforms. The uniforms were tight one-piece suits of | | a dark green color, with a metallic luster. The only facial feature | | he could see through the helmet were two large, round, luminous eyes. | | They lifted the prone colleague and carried him off toward the alley. | | Throughout the encounter he felt no fear--he had the feeling, in | | fact, that they had somehow informed him they would not harm him. He | | made a report to the police, and he told his friends but was laughed | | at. (Source: Center for UFO Studies files, report by Douwe Goaga | | dated February 8, 1978). | | | | 1979 - Pine Ridge, South Carolina. Members of a rock band practicing | | in a barn stepped outside to watch an unusual form hovering low over | | the containment building and smokestack of the Carolina Power & Light | | nuclear power plant one half mile away to their northeast. An ovoid | | shaped object, seen primarily by its lights in the clear dusk sky, | | had two huge bright yellowish-white beams of light. After hovering | | motionless for 2-5 minutes all the lights faded except a blue light. | | The UFO moved off and was gone in "three blinks of the eye." After | | about five minutes, a second sighting took place. It hovered to the | | right of the nuclear power plant and directed a beam of light at it | | while hovering for another 2-5 minutes. The second object flew off | | toward the northwest. No one at the power plant reported seeing | | anything unusual to the chief of security. (Source: International UFO | | Reporter, July 1979, p. 21). | | | | 1981 - Robert Gomez, a vacuum truck driver, was headed west on | | highway FR 665 toward Alice, Texas after finishing a job. His vehicle | | had about 165 gallons of water in the tank and no pressure. At 2:10 | | p.m. he saw a bright object in the sky that he first thought was an | | airplane. It increased in brightness and stopped in midair. The | | object was domed disc-shaped, brilliant white in color and with a | | dark ring around the rim and another dark ring around its center. | | Gomez felt the truck slowing down and tried to accelerate. The | | truck's exhaust stacks were blowing smoke, but the truck had | | apparently been lifted a foot off the ground. Although his AM radio | | quit working, his CB radio was still working, so he reported what was | | happening to his dispatcher. Shortly later the UFO disappeared into | | the clouds. Smoke was discovered coming out of the water tank valve, | | which now showed 55 pounds of pressure on the gauge. He opened the | | valve to drain the remaining water, but only steam came out. | | (Sources: Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, pp. 313-314; MUFON UFO | | Journal, January 1982; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: | | A Thirty-Year Report, p. 276). | | | | 1986 - Two persons observed three deep blue colored objects flying in | | a triangular formation. When they over flew Lake Trasimeno they | | descended vertically into the lake. (Source: Marco Bianchini, USOCAT | | by IItalian Center for UFO Studies (CISU). http://www.cisu.org/). | | | | 1994 - A hexagon-shaped object circled by lights had four square | | portholes on its bottom, was seen at 8:40 p.m. in St. Usuges, France. | | It flew away toward the north. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue | | no. 326). | | | | 1995 - In Wichita, Kansas a lone witness reported encountering | | several strange humanoids to the National UFO Reporting Center in | | Seattle, Washington. There was no UFO associated with the report. | | (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1995, case | | #2170, citing Francis Ridge, UFO Intelligence Newsletter, February | | 1996; Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center). | | | | 1999 - In Alton Barnes, England a crop formation 700 feet in length, | | with a design consisting of boxes, keys, and a Celtic cross was found | | on this day. In the afternoon of this day in Goias, Brazil a UFO the | | size of a football field landed in the city. Jet interceptor aircraft | | were scrambled from Anapolis AFB in response to the reports, but did | | not arrive in time. At 10:30 a.m. in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts a | | silver, metallic object was seen hovering at approximately a mile to | | a mile and a half altitude, from Route 20 eastbound. At noon a gray | | object with a black dot in the center was seen moving very slowly | | across the sky in Melbourne, Victoria. In Adelaide, South Australia | | four men sitting outside saw a bright blue light appear from nowhere. | | It was long and large, and moved level for 15 seconds toward the | | east, with a flame visible from the tail section. It vanished from | | view.
