Note these events are from the old HTML version on archive.org, not the larger [(10k event) PDF version](http://www.cobeps.org/pdf/Chronologie-OVNI-VOG.pdf). It is unclear if these events are copyrighted. I didn't see a copyright in either the HTML or PDF versions. - v1.43: Added ~3160 events, translated from a French chronology to English using OpenAI, from [rr0.org](https://rr0.org/). I believe this chronology was composed by Jérôme Beau. Its license is [here](https://rr0.org/Copyright.html). - v1.40: Added digitized events/newspaper clippings from [Frank Scully's papers at the American Heritage Center in Laramie, WY](https://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:80444/xv506256), summarized the events from the timeline on the [Disclosure Diaries](https://www.disclosurediaries.com/) website, and added more misc. events. Fixed auto-translation issue in the search page. - v1.38: Added a [client-side search engine](search.html). There are a bunch of features I'm going to add to this engine, for now it can only search for keywords in the desc, location and and reference fields. - v1.37: Updated intro text, added total number of events to each event year, added a few 1800's events. - v1.36: Extracted and summarized the events in the book [_It Didn't Start with Roswell_ by Philip L. Rife](https://www.amazon.com/Didnt-Start-Roswell-Encounters-Coverups/dp/059517339X). Also extracted the military UFO events from Richard Dolan's book [_UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up, 1941–1973_](https://www.amazon.com/UFOs-National-Security-State-Chronology-ebook/dp/B0C94W38QY). - v1.34: Added more modern events, 1917 Mystery Airplane newspaper articles. - v1.33: More events: Events from George D. Fawcett, short AI summaries of Stringfield's 1978 MUFON symposium presentation, and short AI summaries of the pre-industrial era sighting events from the book [_Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times_](https://www.amazon.com/Wonders-Sky-Unexplained-Objects-Antiquity/dp/1585428205). - v1.30: Added 203 Mystery Helicopter/mutilation related events (1970's-1980's) compiled by author/researcher [Thomas R. Adams](https://www.lulu.com/shop/ray-boeche/bloodless-cuts/hardcover/product-22167360.html?page=1&pageSize=4) (1945-2015) (or see [here](http://copycateffect.blogspot.com/2018/06/Adams-Massey-Obits.html)), from his book [_The Choppers - and the Choppers, Mystery Helicopters and Animal Mutilations_](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/avistamientos_ovnis/Adams,Thomas,Choppers%20and%20the%20Choppers-1.pdf), minor fixes - v1.28: Added KWIC (Key Word in Context) index. - v1.27: Imported Anonymous PDF's contents, originally from [here](https://pdfhost.io/v/gR8lAdgVd_Uap_Timeline_Prepared_By_Another), with fixed URL's - v1.23-1.24: Added a handful of key historical events, such as Edward Tauss the head of CIA UFO disinformation in the 50's - v1.22: Fixing the date of Dr. Eric W. Davis's March, 2020 classified briefing to the Senate (I had it listed as March 2019) - info from NY Times. Basic locations added to Eberhart records using OpenAI. - v1.20: Split up into 5 parts, to work around iPhone web browser limits. Minor spelling and grammer fixes throughout timeline. - v1.15: Eberhart records now have basic locations, thanks to OpenAI's Davinci-3 AI model. They aren't perfect, but it's a good start to geocoding them. - v1.14: Added nuclear test data, over 2000 records, from the [_Worldwide Nuclear Explosions_](https://web.archive.org/web/20220407121213/https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~richards/my_papers/WW_nuclear_tests_IASPEI_HB.pdf) paper by Yang, North, Romney, and Richards. Note the locations in the paper are approximate, and the yields are not super accurate, which are two problems I'll fix over time. I improved the coordinates of the earliest USA/USSR tests by looking them up from Wikipedia. - v1.13: Split up the timeline into 4 parts. Still not the best solution, but it avoids croaking browsers. - v1.12: Added \*U\* database record data, using a custom event description decoder to handle his 1k+ abbreviations and custom syntax - v1.11: Crawled all ~10.5k unique URL's in this timeline using [curl](https://curl.se/) and fixed dead URL's to use archive.org. - v1.10: Added NICAP DB data. ## Important Notes: Best viewed on a desktop/laptop, not a mobile device. On Windows, Firefox works best, followed by Edge, then Chrome. I've split up the timeline into 4 parts, to reduce their sizes: distant past up to 1949, 1950-1959, 1960-1979, and 1980-present. The majority of the events in this chronology are sighting related, however it's important to be aware that this is a timeline of UFO/UAP related _events_, not necessarily or exclusively UFO _sightings_. **This is not exclusively a UFO sightings timeline or database.** Some sighting reports or events appear multiple times in this timeline because they appear in more than one data source. I view this as a useful feature. Currently, the events are not sorted by time of day, only by date. Some sources have separate "time" fields, but most don't. This will be fixed once the event times are automatically extracted from the description fields. A few events don't have firm dates, for example "Summer of 1947", or "Late July 1952". In these instances the compilation code uses fixed dates I selected for date sorting purposes. (See the code for the specific dates.) ## Source Code: This website is created automatically using a [C++](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B) command line tool called “ufojson”. It parses the raw text and [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) source data to [JSON format](https://www.json.org/json-en.html), which is then converted to a single large web page using [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/).

After 4–5 minutes, the ball moves away and creates a vortex, causing stones to rise and circle in the air. They can hear the sound of the stones hitting together. Then the light blinks out, and the rocks crash down onto the road. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Michael D.

(...) The alert, if any, is transmitted to the nearest receiving station, in particular those of Guam or Australia. (...) These IMEWS are placed in geostationary orbit and not simply geosynchronous like those of the BMEWS. They are huge drums 3 m high and 3 m in diameter flanked by four solar panel panels giving them a wingspan of 7 meters.

In retaliation, the Soviets launched a very large number of them since 1970. The first of them was Cosmos 389, placed on an orbit between 600 and 650 km altitude approximately, inclined at 81°. Their launch frequency has gone up to 4 or 5 (per year) eight years later. (From 1970) **Reference:** "The War of the Satellites" - Volume 3 - Pierre Kohler, ed.

(vog: yet another unnatural gestation revealed by Jean FERGUSON... he does it on purpose!) Especially since the offspring she gave birth to has unknown physiological characteristics. Male, of human appearance, he can breathe safely in water or any liquid environment and can sniff a dozen deadly gases for ordinary humans. He has the gift of telekinesis, he can transmit his thoughts and read those of the people around him. So far, the father has not shown up to give a solid explanation about this "space cutting". . . **Reference:** Jean FERGUSON: "Enigmes du temps présent" ed.

Torbitt claims DISC’s offices are at 3990 East Broad Street, Columbus, OH and Redstone Arsenal. He claims DISC includes the security division of NASA and includes awareness among a tight group of key personnel including J. Edgar Hoover, Wernher Von Braun, William Sullivan, Clay Shaw, and former FBI employee Guy Bannister. It is alleged Permindex is aware of advanced UAP projects and protects them with surveillance and intimidation, and possibly, assassination. * [http://www.whale.to/b/torbitt.html#I.%20%20Permindex%20and%20Its%20Five%20Subsidiaries](http://www.whale.to/b/torbitt.html#I.%20%20Permindex%20and%20Its%20Five%20Subsidiaries) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_131 ### Event 32190 (905E33FC) **Date:** Early 1970 **Description:** 10:00 p.m. A peasant in the Taijiang\(?\) District of Fujian province, China, sees a metallic, pan-shaped object land behind a hill.

Deciding that he was too hot, she opened the window. As she drew back the curtains, she was met with a flash of light in her eyes. It was still dark outside, and about 20 m away, above the children's pavilion to her left, there was a large luminous object, lighting up the area as if it were broad daylight. It was a circular object, the base was silver, but like a ball. All around it were lights in a necklace. The dome was transparent, made of glass and she could see inside. There were two figures, men, she thought. The one in front seemed taller, or was on a raised part. She looked on with immense curiosity but without any fear. Their heads were in something dark, tightly closed. She saw the craft rise, tilting, and she saw the figures from head to knees and they seemed to be facing chairs. They wore tight clothing of the same color as what they wore on their heads, but their hands were free and seemed human, with skin like that of the Earthlings. She saw a kind of panel, like a huge dashboard, going from the back of the object to the top, as if embedded in metal. This is how she forgot about Nurse Frieda Wilson, who was in the same room. She felt that she must not make any noise, nor call her colleague. The man in front slowly turned towards her, but his face was also covered, he touched the other man on the back, and the latter deliberately maneuvered a kind of lever and the saucer began to rotate slowly, still close to the building.

It has a row of lights around its middle. She can see two humanoid figures in dark, tight-fitting clothing and wearing headgear in the upper portion. One stands at an instrument panel, with the other behind it. The second being looks directly at Kendall, then touches the first being, who moves a lever, apparently causing the craft to tilt down and provide a view of its interior. Kendall calls for other witnesses, who arrive in time to see the UFO leave. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Human-Like Pair](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96422142/) [in Saucer,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96422267/)” Victoria \(B.C.\) Daily Times, January 5, 1970, pp. 1–2; “[UFO Occupants Seen near Hospital,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20%28Magor%29/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20-%20vol%201%20no%207%20-%201970.pdf)” Canadian UFO Report 1, no. 7 \(Summer 1970\): 3–12; UFOEv II 459–460; Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 139– 146 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4746 ### Event 32200 (5A94AEA4) **Date:** 1/1/1970 **Description:** From the second floor of the Cowichan District Hospital on Vancouver Island, British Columbia five nurses saw a silver metallic Saturn-shaped UFO.

At 4:45 PM, as the sun was beginning to set, they decided to rest. A kind of buzzing sound was then heard and, looking up, Heinonen saw in the air a light of strong intensity that began a wide turn and came in their direction. It descended and stopped right in the space, surrounded by a kind of luminous grayish mist that manifested itself by pulsations, 15 m from the witnesses. Through the mist they saw an object of metallic appearance, the base of 3 m in diameter had three globes on a rim and in the middle a kind of large tube of about 25 cm in diameter. The mist gradually dissipated and when the object descended to 4 m from the ground the buzzing stopped. A beam of light came out of the central tube and a creature of about 90 cm appeared at ground level in this tube of light. Its face was pale like wax, on the head it wore a shiny conical helmet, and it was dressed in a light gray overalls that shone. The humanoid was wearing green boots. In his hand he held a black box from which a blinding flash suddenly emerged. The mist reformed around the object and the illuminated circle emitted green and red sparks. The fog thickened, the light trembled like the flame of a candle and returned to the tube. Then it was as if the mist scattered and everything had disappeared. Heinonen felt weak, paralyzed on the right side. It took them two hours to cover the 2 km that separated them from the village. He had headaches, vomiting, his blood pressure dropped, his balance affected. He was cold, despite the sedatives he had very sore neck, stomach and back for a while and could not return to work. Viljo had a red and swollen face and lost his sense of balance. He felt a kind of lightness in his legs and his chest and hands were covered with red spots. Other people went to the observation site and were sick for two days.

They decide to rest in a clearing and watch the stars rise as twilight falls. The two men hear a buzzing sound and see in the sky a very bright light approaching from the north. It turns around at the clearing level and descends towards them from the south. It is surrounded by a red-gray luminous mist. When the cloud has descended to about 15 m from the ground, they see in its center a disc of about 3 m in diameter. The disc stays at this height, continuing to buzz. Then, according to Heinonen: The immense disc began to descend with the red-gray mist, which became thinner and transparent. It stopped at a height of 3 or 4 m, so close that I could touch it with my ski stick. We saw that its upper part was topped with a dome. Along the lower edge was a kind of raised part with 3 spheres with domes spaced at equal distances. From the center of its lower part protruded a tube about 25 cm in diameter, from which suddenly came an intense beam of light. I suddenly felt as if someone had pulled me back. At the same second, I saw the creature. It stood in the middle of the light beam, with a black box in its hands. It was about 90 cm tall, with very thin arms and legs. Its face was like pale wax. The nose looked more like a hook than a nose. The ears were very small and narrowed at the face. The creature wore a kind of suit in a light green material and a shiny conical helmet like metal. The being points the black box at Heinonen, and a blinding, flickering yellow light takes him as a target. A red mist begins to cover the area and red, green and purple sparks begin to rain around the skiers like candles about 10 cm long floating in long curves. The mist becomes thicker and thicker, until, according to Viljo, the beam suddenly began to decrease, rose like a flickering flame and was sucked into the opening of the craft. Then it was as if the veil of mist had dissolved. The air around us was empty! After a few minutes, Heinonen realizes that he can no longer use his left leg, the one that was most exposed to the strange light beam. Viljo supports his friend to his home, about 3 km further. In the months that followed, Heinonen suffered from severe memory loss, constant pain, exhaustion and headaches. For 2 months, his urine was like black coffee. Viljo suffered from facial swelling, headaches and eye problems.

It is so close to Heinonen that he could touch it with his ski pole. From an opening in the center of the object’s bottom, a bright light beam is emitted, creating an illuminated area of 3 feet in diameter on the snow beneath it, edged with black. A red gray mist descends again; when it clears, both men can see, only 10 feet away, a 3-foot tall humanoid creature standing in the illuminated area, carrying in its hands a black box with a pulsating yellow light. Its arms and legs are very thin, its face pale like wax, and its nose hooked; it wears a light green coverall with darker green knee boots, white gauntlets, and a conical metallic helmet. Then the mist again descends, and long red, green, and purple sparks float out from the lighted area. A sort of flame rises from this spot and enters the UFO; then the mist and the UFO vanish. After this experience, Heinonen finds his right leg numb, and he vomits and passes black urine; Viljo also suffers severe physiological effects. Heinonen claims, two years later, a series of contacts with a female spacewoman. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Sven-Olof Fredrickson, “[Finnish Encounter in the Snow,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201970%20V%2016%20N%204.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 16, no. 4 \(July/Aug. 1970\): 31–32; “[Finns Observe UFO](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201970%2007%2000%20-%20July-August.pdf) [Occupant,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201970%2007%2000%20-%20July-August.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, July/Aug. 1970, pp. 6–7; Sven-Olof Fredrickson, “[A Humanoid Was Seen at](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201970%20V%2016%20N%205.pdf) [Imjärvi,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201970%20V%2016%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 16, no. 5 \(Sept./Oct. 1970\): 14–18; Sven-Olof Fredrickson, “[More on the Imjärvi](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201970%20V%2016%20N%206.pdf) [Case,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201970%20V%2016%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 16, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1970\): 22; Anders Liljegren, “[The Continuing Story of the](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%203.pdf) [Imjärvi Skiers, Part 1,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 26, no. 3 \(September 1980\): 15–17; Anders Liljegren, “[The](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201981%20V%2026%20N%205.pdf) [Continuing Story of the Imjärvi Skiers, Part 2,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201981%20V%2026%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 26, no. 5 \(January 1981\): 18–20; Kim Hansen, “UFO Casebook,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, pp. 75–79 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4747 ### Event 32210 (6A7830FA) **Date:** 1/7/1970 **Description:** At 3:45 in the afternoon two cross-country skiers, Aarno Heinonen and Esko Viljo, heard a buzzing sound and saw a round, ten foot wide metallic object with a flat bottom and a dome in the sky outside of Imjarvi, Finland. It was wrapped by a reddish-gray mist. The UFO descended to within ten feet of the snow-covered ground in a forest clearing and the buzzing sound ceased. It was described as being so close to Heinonen that he could have touched it with his ski pole.

The two men next saw a beam of light come from an opening in the bottom of the craft. It created an illuminated area three feet in diameter on the snow beneath it, edged with black. A red gray mist descended again, and when it cleared both men could see, only 10 feet away, a three foot tall little man on the ground standing in the illuminated area. He had thin arms and legs, a pale waxy complexion with a hook nose, and wore a light green coverall uniform with darker green knee boots, white gauntlets, and a conical metallic helmet.

He held a small black box at his chest level with a pulsating yellow light from which a beam was emitted. Then the mist descended again, and long red, green and purple "sparks" floated out from the lighted area. A flame of sorts rose from this spot and the being entered the UFO. Then the mist vanished along with the UFO. After this experience, Heinonen found that his right leg was numb. He vomited and he passed urine that was black in color.

After a journey, he followed a field with wide furrows. Suddenly he saw a vertical wall of blue and fluorescent light as if placed on the furrows. The shape of this wall of light was regular, a few meters from the path. Despite his astonished fear, the witness approached this palisade of light which, suddenly, collapsed like a mass of light snakes, forming a single entity with interruptions whose ends were like cut off. This wriggling agglomerate stretched like a rope and flew undulating through the fields, progressing in waves, as if it followed the height and hollows of the furrows taken across. Then, without stopping, it disappeared towards a wooded area. The witness then discovered the traces of the phenomenon on the crest of the furrows. He returned the next evening to the scene without discovering or observing anything. (1970, January 24 (not 23)) **Reference:** J. G. DOHMEN: "To Identify and the Adamski Case" - ed.

Mr. Herbosch was walking in the middle of Avenue de la Réserve when his gaze was drawn to something faintly luminous, about 20 meters in front of him, to his left, on the vacant lot, raised at this point by about 75 cm. It was then 7:45 PM. The witness stopped and saw that it was a kind of "stain on the ground", oval in shape, several meters in size, 7 or 8 meters at first glance, which suddenly became very bright, like a phosphorescent light green color. (...) He was looking for the lamp or light source that should have produced such an effect. Indeed, it was logical, only a powerful projector could have been the source of this stain on the ground. But no beam of light or any device was visible. There was NOTHING. Suddenly, when he was barely 10 meters away from this stain, the witness stopped dead in his tracks, so much so that what he saw seized him, bewildered him and scared him. (What follows took place in 20 or 30 seconds maximum). The stain became brighter and brighter; it seemed to vibrate, then it swelled or inflated, a bit like a balloon, first laid flat on the ground, then suddenly inflated. The luminous bell thus formed grew even more, and the top reached a height of about 5 meters. It also looked a bit like the dome that could be seen on old steam locomotives. The coloration became almost blinding and the green color became paler, tending more towards neon white. This mass of light vibrated in a frightening way but still kept a clear bell shape and seemed to be made up of thousands of tiny luminous particles moving and swarming in all directions inside the bell. This gave the impression of terrible nervousness. When it reached its maximum height, this insolent apparition violently illuminated the whole landscape, as well as the curtain of trees at the end of the vacant lot. These trees, which are about 100 meters from Avenue de la Réserve, were illuminated in their entire height, as if by a flash of extraordinary power. Mr. Herbosch was also able to notice through the bell which was translucent despite the strong brightness, that the base was perfectly elliptical. The spectacle was quite frightening, all the more so since it took place in total silence. No heat effect or smell was noticed. At that moment, in the face of this quite unusual and unknown phenomenon to him, Mr. Herbosch was seized by extreme fear, but he stayed there, frozen, paralyzed in front of this strange scene. Immediately after illuminating the landscape, which lasted a few seconds, the bell suddenly collapsed or deflated to take its initial form of a stain, identical to what it was at the beginning of the observation. The brightness became weak again and again of a pale green color. Then the stain moved on the ground of the vacant lot and moved away from the witness (perhaps at 10 or 15 km/h) and disappeared towards the northwest, in the direction of a villa under construction at the time.. **Reference:** investigation by P.

They had had a pleasant evening and had gone to bed around one o'clock in the morning. But Leona couldn't fall asleep. Her room faced the Flat River flowing down the hill. Suddenly the room was brightly lit by a light coming from below and she went out onto the balcony to see what it was. She then saw, in the field on the edge of the river, an enormous flying saucer about 20 meters in diameter with a platform 2 meters wide all around it. Two strange beings were busy on this platform as if they were making a repair, and probably using electric welding, as sparks could be seen. These beings were of normal size, bareheaded, wearing white overalls and seemed to walk and work like human beings. With her two friends who had joined her, Leona watched the repair which lasted for nearly an hour, then the sparks stopped. The two humanoids went back into their saucer, it immediately started off at a fantastic speed and disappeared into the clouds.

The weather was nice, the sky was all clear. On the porch, I instinctively looked up and saw, in the sky, to the northeast, something huge higher than the moon. This thing was luminous, 1.30m high and 1m wide, more than 2m long. The object looked exactly like a transparent door suspended in the firmament. Its luminosity seemed to me similar to that of a cinema screen. I was very surprised and stayed in the courtyard for about ten minutes without moving. (...) I went into the room to wake up my two other companions, but they were sleeping deeply and I didn't succeed. As I was cold and scared, I didn't dare go out again to see the strange phenomenon. The next day I fell ill and, for three days, I had a headache, I was always feeling like vomiting. **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials". ed.

A reddish halo surrounded this thing that came to stop two hundred meters from the witness. Suddenly, under the object appeared several beams of bright light directed towards the ground. (...) "Suddenly the object started to move. It was something extraordinary. It gathered its light beams like a bird gathers its wings. The light folded in on itself gently and simultaneously the halo surrounded the craft again and it moved away." Following the observation, the witness had to be treated for conjunctivitis. That night, for an undetermined cause, there was a power outage in the dam's installations. (Jean-Marie DOUCHET - Nostra - 24.12.1980) It was, the witnesses said, something extraordinary, an enormous disc of about 15 m in diameter and 3 m high, flying horizontally, "majestically" and without noise. Very slowly, impressive to behold. The spectacle lasted 3 hours. It was evolving at an altitude of about 200 meters. A dozen powerful light beams illuminated the ground: a very particular light, very similar in intensity to fluorescent light, but of a slightly yellow-greenish color. On the side of the craft, portholes were faintly lit. Fairy spectacle more than frightening since one of the main witnesses, Mr. Santos Nicolas, a teacher in Guijo de Grenadilla, said: "I couldn't believe it. It had been more than an hour that I could contemplate something wonderful, something so unusual that it really couldn't belong to our world..." This long observation caused the witness's vision to be altered, a burning sensation in the eyes. The ophthalmologist diagnosed conjunctivitis. **Reference:** but picked up in "Stendek" n ° 3 and 4 **Reference:** Charles GARREAU: "Flying Saucers, 20 Years of Investigations" Mame 1971 p. 215-216 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2591 ### Event 32285 (E460273D) **Date:** 3/26/1970 **Time:** 03:00 **Location:** LEIRIA, PORTUGAL **Description:** Several observer(s).

But the UFO is actually a light beam from a high-intensity purple spot-lamp operated by a group of UFO debunkers, among them physicist David I. Simpson. Foxwell himself is part of the skeptical group \(having pre-exposed a spurious UFO image\), as is the individual who operated the bogus magnetic-field sensor.

Inside its sides, however, was a small nuclear generator (4 kilograms of plutonium) destined to power the scientific equipment that the astronauts were to deploy on the moon. This module fell into the Tonga Trench in the middle of the Pacific. The surveys that have been carried out since then fortunately show no modification of the underwater environment. (Note from Vog: this module is supposed to still be intact in the sea, off the Fiji Islands). (April 11, 1970) **Reference:** "The War of the Satellites" - Volume 3 - Pierre Kohler, ed.

He then had the feeling that someone was staring at him from the doorway behind him. He turned around and saw a small creature about 1.2 meters in height, clad in a tight fitting shiny green suit and helmet. The creature had very dark, large eyes, with a human look. Tiihonen believed that the creature had not come in through the door since he would have heard some noise. For several moments they stared at each other, and then Tiihonen asked the creature where he was from. "From the space," was the answer. Tiihonen was unsure if he in fact heard the answer or if it was a mental message. In an effort to make conversation Tiihonen asked the alien if the Apollo 13 astronauts, then stranded in space, would get back home safely. "Yes they will", was the answer. Tiihonen spoke with the being of other subjects for some time, but could not recall later what they spoke about, other than the creature promised to return. It took a step backwards and disappeared in an instant. Tiihonen again heard the noise resembling a swarm of bees. Tiihonen's eight-year-old son was sitting in another room during the encounter and heard his father talking to someone, but the dividing wall kept him from seeing the humanoid. However, he did see a bright object land on the grass outside, and also saw it lift off. Tiihonen ran to the sauna where his wife was and told her about his encounter. After the incident, Tiihonen was unable to sleep for three nights in a row, and experienced a sort of malaise for over a week. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** K.

Several independent groups of witnesses to the west of Lake Anten, Västra Götaland, Sweden, watch a red, glowing sphere fly around the lake and neighboring areas. It occasionally sends out a beam of light to the ground. Some of the observers get the impression that the beams originate on the ground rather than from the object. The next morning a few of the observers get into boats and sail to the spot where the sphere was seen hovering. In one corner of the garden of an isolated farmhouse named Enebacken, they find three round marks, one foot in diameter and 1.5 inches deep, burned into the ground in the shape of an equilateral triangle. A UFO group in Gothenburg, Sweden, takes soil samples to a laboratory for gamma-ray testing and finds significant non-background radiation at a peak that seems to derive from cesium-137, a radioactive isotope. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Sven-Olof Fredrickson, “[A Landing near Lake Anten?](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201971%20V%2017%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 17, no 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1971\): 13–17 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4752 ### Event 32336 (8A98F7C4) **Date:** 4/30/1970 **Location:** LAKE ANTON, SWD **Description:** Night lights.

I suddenly noticed that 2 of the stars were moving... in a circle around a common center while maintaining their position around two opposite points of the diameter, as would for example two small paint strokes at the two opposite edges of a microcross turning on a turntable. They were making about 30 turns/min, in the opposite direction of the hands of a clock, at a constant speed; the brightness of the objects was lower than that of Acturus, a little lower than that of Alpha, Beta and Gamma in the Great Bear. They suddenly stopped. \(...\) They remained absolutely still, then they began to move away from each other and the one that was heading south suddenly stopped...

The bulky humanoids wore red tops with black straps, and carried large sacks on their belts. They also saw a strange gray "dog" creature that jumped a distance of 40 feet. At around 2:45 p.m. Marie, age 10, was standing on the road opposite a house that was being used as a storehouse and stable, when she saw a figure at a windowpane-less second floor window. The being was the size of a child, but had a big protruding stomach. She told other children and several of them, led by Noel, age 12, entered the building. Noel saw a small person about 3.5 feet tall in a red sweater with a black shoulder strap across it, which he chased down the stairs and outdoors to the pasture.

That evening at 6:30 p.m. Bertrand, age 10, was near the building when he noticed a "boy" about 3.5 feet tall standing beside it. He had a big belly and was wearing a red sweater crossed by a wide black strap. This "boy" ran around behind the building. A short time later Noel, Simon, and Barthelemy all saw a long gray animal, which they called a "dog", make a giant leap from the second floor window (about 12 feet high), and landed on the ground some 40 feet from the house. It left footprints "like a calf's." Then a small person like those seen earlier came out of the barn and called the "dog" to him with a snap of his fingers. He then passed a thick leash around its neck. Then three more such beings appeared, all alike except that one lacked a large stomach. They wore black hats with a peak behind. All four, with the "dog", then began to run very rapidly down the road away from the village. Two trucks passed and as they did the little men and their "dog" nimbly jumped off the road and hid. They ran out of sight. The next day the "dog's" paw prints were found. Six days later, the building mysteriously caught fire and burned to the ground. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It was facing in the opposite direction. Viewed from the rear, the humanoid was about 5'9" tall and wore a one-piece blue coverall, the legs of which were tucked into mud covered boots. The man carried a leather case on his left hip attached to a strap over his right shoulder, and was holding a box-like object to his face with a periscope like extender sticking out and up to the right side. This periscope device was pointed away from the observer to the north, toward the sun. The figure was blond with short-cropped hair. He walked dragging his feet, as if fatigued. Foster glanced away thinking it was perhaps a mailman, but when he realized it was Sunday, he knew this could not be. When he again looked up the figure had gone. Foster rushed out in search of him but could find no trace. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The occupants of the boat were in the water and gesticulating in their shiny clothes with something on their heads. They then seemed to be working on the boat's dome! It had a non-shiny metallic look and measured 4 to 6 meters. The policeman went to get help, Mrs. Nazaré and her family watched through binoculars. The phenomenon was 700 or 1000m away. After 20 minutes of immobility, the object approached a rocky outcrop 100m from the beach and stayed there for half an hour. Then it took off towards the southeast, gliding on the surface of the water with the sound of a motorboat. At that moment the policeman returned and observed the UFO with other witnesses. Its lower part was hexagonal with colored lights, green-yellow, white-red. Appearing metallic on the water, once in flight it seemed transparent and they saw two passengers seated inside. It disappeared silently. At the spot where the craft had been, one of the children saw a kind of white hoop, which disappeared, reappeared in the company of a yellow body, which floated half-emerged, it floated towards the beach and was followed by a green fringe. The yellow body made a 90° turn and left towards Gavea. The white hoop did the same and the witnesses lost sight of them. (Inforespace n° 8, p. 34, 35) Mrs. Maria Machado was looking out the window while preparing dinner and saw a gray disc, topped with a transparent dome, sailing on the ocean. Two silhouettes in luminous clothing were working on the deck. After 40 minutes the object left, leaving behind it a white mass floating towards the distance. **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDELLL: "The World's Greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

At the same time, their daughter Bonnie and a friend are at a swimming pool about one-half mile away when they see 3 silvery discs flying end-to-end in the direction of their home. The parents then see the discs as well. The cigar and the discs form a line and move into a large, peculiar cloud. After 3–4 minutes, the cloud begins to break apart, with no UFOs showing. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Ohio UFO Reporter, Sept./Nov. 1971; Herbert S.

Hardly arrived in front of the improvised office on a deserted ground, we saw in the sky, in the northeast, a yellow lantern. More than ten people were already there to watch. (...) It was a luminous object in the shape of a hat inclined of 90°: its apparent diameter was more than one third of a meter. The whole seemed to be in a glass mask. The part of the dome appeared less transparent than the rest. The central part was brilliantly illuminated as if there was a powerful lamp inside. The luminosity remained stable during two minutes. When the object passed above us, it was at a hundred meters of the ground. My colleague Zhou Paizhong ... immediately had the idea to go and get a long view ... The object occupied the whole field of the eyepiece but we did not see the details of the inside of the luminous hat, which was heading towards the southwest and was getting further and further away, to finally become a small point in the eyepiece of our theodolite.

She watches it bouncing back and forth for 15 minutes as a series of red lights flash in sequence across it. The size is about 25–30 feet wide. The streetlight has gone out and comes back on when the object leaves. Her son and brother-in-law later find three imprints 30–40 feet apart in the shape of a triangle in the meadow. They also find circles impressed in the grass, the largest 15–20 feet in diameter. Then they find tracks “going to the creek like they had dragged some small round thing into the ditch” as well as “two sets of a dozen imprints which were about two feet apart. They were curved like raindrops. It was very visible, the grass was all crushed down, there was mud on the banks of the creek, and there were signs of the tracks in the mud.” One week later, the light returns and crosses the field across the street. The family television, the car ignition, and the telephone behave strangely for days afterward. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Berthold E.

Without knowing why, he felt compelled to leave. He got up, went into the house, changed his clothes, packed a small bag, drove to the airport and took a plane to Oklahoma City. A friend then drove him to Norman, Oklahoma. He felt strange and wanted to lie down, so went to lie down in his friend's bedroom. He was lying down relaxing when he saw a vortex of swirling lights "like a rainbow" into which he was sucked. Mr. Trueblood then found himself standing in a beautiful garden surrounded by hedges. He felt wide awake. In front of him he saw a silvery saucer-shaped craft and a shimmering small silver being standing on steps that came down from the bottom of the craft. The being had a grayish complexion and had a large baldhead with large eyes. The witness sensed that the being was "androgynous," neither male nor female. The being communicated telepathically and told him that he had been sent to take him because "they" wanted to talk to him. He agreed to go and walked up the steps. Once inside the craft he heard no sound, but through a small window he could see the moon, the sun, and "millions of stars" go by in an instant. Soon the craft was hovering over a beautiful white city in what he believed was another planet or universe. He next found himself down on the ground. The people in the city appeared to be both male and female, wore white robes, and were fair skinned with "hair that was glowing like the color of sunlight." The small being then took him down a street lined with beautiful white buildings three stories tall to a clearing in the woods that seemed like a park. There were a number of people there, and a male said to him that if he would "pay attention." The people told him that they did not need food, for the air they breathed was converted into what was needed to sustain life. A leader figure told him that he had been brought here to show him the potential of the human race. Soon he asked to be returned, and was taken back into the craft, through the vortex, and found himself back in bed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The witness is named Cheng Gangdang. He was in a field with his wife to pull out wild grasses, when they suddenly heard a strange noise above them. They looked up and saw an object flying as bright as a diamond. The object was transparent. Its diameter was about 3 arms. The bottom was pointed and the top was conical. Several lights were seen on the body of the object, like electric bulbs, which lit up in turn. Inside, it seemed that there were many instruments. The object flew quickly spinning on itself and it was surrounded by a misty halo. (...) The unknown object descended slowly near a fruit tree and landed without ceasing to spin like a top. This object did not make any noise when it turned (...) Its rotation speed resembled that of children's tops. On the ground it did not leave any clear traces. Ten minutes after its landing, the object raised a cloud of dust and it rose quickly spinning. First it moved back to the north, then when it reached a certain height in the sky, it flew away in a flash towards the south. In a blink of an eye it had disappeared.

He was surprised to see some kind of headlights coming down from the sky, with a deafening noise. He felt he was suddenly suspended in the air and made desperate efforts to get off his bicycle. This lasted a few minutes, he tried to scream, but no sound came out of his throat. Finally he felt the bike gently descend to the ground and started pedaling again but again he was lifted, but this time in complete silence. The episode otherwise resembled the first one. Finally he was able to leave and arrived at his brother's house: they then discovered that a package of beef kidneys he was carrying on his luggage rack was missing... **Reference:** R.

He took a familiar route, climbing a small slope. He passed the summit, the vegetation was very dense at this time, the ferns almost reaching the size of a man. Suddenly, between the ferns he distinguished something abnormal: a kind of dome of metallic appearance was there barely 15 m from him. At first intrigued, he stopped, then driven by curiosity he took two more cautious steps. With a stick he parted the curtain of ferns. In doing so, he was dazzled by a very bright yellow-orange light emanating from three kinds of rectangular tiles located just under the dome. In any case, the intensity of the light was such that it seemed to him that the top of the dome was separated from the lower part of the object. Etienne's curiosity turned into intense fear. He felt paralyzed, unable to make a move, neither to advance nor to flee. The cupola suddenly began to rise slowly, followed by the shell and the whole of the machine emerged from the screen of ferns. The orange beam followed the ascent of the object and Etienne was no longer dazzled. He then distinguished 3 or 4 circular portholes in the middle of the lower part as if they were part of a row that would have gone around it. He estimated the length of the machine at 5 or 6 meters and the height at 2.50 m to 3 m and compared its mass to the importance of a Renault Estafette. On the dome he noticed 3 antennas: the one on the right measuring about 1.50 m, the one on the left inclined to the left 60 cm and the one in the middle standing vertically 45 cm. The antennas seemed rigid to him. They did not oscillate during the ascent. He did not perceive any silhouette behind the portholes. Suddenly the object began to rise, accompanied by a shrill whistle. On the underside four absolutely identical supports were as if they had come out of 4 holes. Each one ended with a flat or slightly convex sole, longer than wide. The four feet retracted into the lower part, the object tilted, took a normal attitude and moved away. During the elevation of the machine Etienne felt a feeling of heat. Once at an altitude of about 100 m the object took off at a lightning speed and disappeared in 2 or 3 seconds on the north-north-west horizon. **Reference:** L.D.L.N.

It was visible on a moonless night and was luminous with a matte white that suggested a "screen" to the witnesses. The dogs stayed about fifteen meters away from the thing, attacking it from time to time with their hair standing on end. One of the two men present approached up to 10 meters and addressed the apparition in these terms: "What do you want? Who are you? Come on! Let someone come out!" The other went to get his gun.

Between Kabdrup and Fjelstrup, as he was driving down a slight dip, the witness recounts: I was driving alone in the patrol car. Suddenly the car was plunged into a light of whitish-blue and at the same time the engine stopped. All the lights of the car went out, even the ignition light. I pulled over to the side and stopped. The dazzling external light, like neon, was so blinding that I couldn't see anything. To protect myself from the light I covered my eyes with my arm and managed to find the radio by feeling around. When I had my hand on the microphone and tried to call the station, I noticed that the radio was just as dead as the rest of the electrical equipment on board. The temperature inside the car rose and became pleasantly warm. It was like driving in the sun in summer. After a while the light rose. It was a light in the shape of a cone, with a base of 4 to 5 m in diameter. As I looked up, leaning forward, I could see that the upper end of the luminous cone was at the base of a large gray thing. No sound came from this object. After a few seconds the light was drawn inside. It is difficult to explain how. The light did not go out but its inner surface rose in such a way that the space under the luminous cone was plunged into darkness. The light was pulled up in about five minutes. I got out of the car and saw how the last part of the cone of light disappeared inside the lower part of the thing, through a hole whose diameter was around a meter. When the light had disappeared inside the object it began to move. It disappeared in a few seconds, rising vertically into the air. It accelerated strongly, still without the slightest sound. As the object moved away all the lights of the car's electrical system came back on. **Reference:** Henry DURRANT: The UFO File - Laffont 1973, pp. 140-142 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2605 ### Event 32480 (45041C91) **Date:** 8/13/1970 **Time:** 22:50 **Location:** NORTH / HADERSLEV, DK **Description:** Cop.

He had arrived at the shore near Good Hart, Michigan at around 10:30 p.m. when a very bright light caught his eye. It seemed to have a descending trajectory, and he discounted any mundane explanation for what he saw. Watching through a telescope, he realized that the craft had orange, yellow, green and blue indigo lights. He could now see a large disc-shaped outline that glided lower towards his position. He saw a very brightly lit, large cartouche-shaped window. Inside he caught a glimpse of some figures who seemed to be peering over a console or instrument panel. The craft descended silently behind a rise about 100 yards from the witness. It hovered for a moment, then settled down on the beach.

For 15-20 minutes he saw no movement around the object, and so, curious, he walked towards it. The air around the UFO felt warm. He stopped about 50 feet from the huge object and heard a metallic sound. By the faint light available he saw a ramp come snaking out of the side of the ship toward him. The ramp sloped up to the blank hull. There was no opening visible, just a long ramp like a tongue sticking out from the side and burying itself in the sand just ahead of the witness. Without giving it much thought he walked up the ramp, and as he approached the hull seemed to dissolve ahead of him. He walked through an opening that appeared in his path. The interior of the ship resembled terra-cotta stone, and there was a soft illumination that emanated from the walls. It was comfortably cool inside and the air smelled of sage and cinnamon. He was in a corridor that stretched ahead of him in both directions until it disappeared beyond inside walls. Various small openings with little handles and knobs were situated at what appeared to be random locations along the corridor. He walked to his left down the corridor, the aroma of sage and cinnamon pervasive and persisting. He soon found a door and realized that the passage behind him was closing itself off into a door as well.

He walked into what appeared to be a central core of the object. Moments later he came upon an improbably placed viewing plate in which he could see the south end of Lake Michigan and lights from the nearby Big Rock Nuclear Power Plant. As he spoke to himself, his voice echoed strangely through the confines of the ship. He noticed to his right a view plate. He caught a glance through the darkened glass of several creatures that seemed to be at the controls. He looked inside the control room and saw five figures all with their backs to him. The figures were humanoid in form with large heads. They seemed to be occupied with a series of procedures. The five were all dressed in a similar style. The outfits were form-fitted, and tended to give off a bluish glow. The middle figure turned slowly to face him. The eyes of the humanoid were much larger than a human's and spread farther around the sides of the head. No nose was visible, with flat cheekbones, lending a somewhat rotund appearance to the face .

At one point the witness saw himself in his own mind, apparently the way the creatures perceived him. The beings communicated via telepathy and he was escorted into another room where he was sat in a chair with knobs and controls in front of it. There he saw 3-D images flash through his mind at very high speed. At one point the aliens brought him a small cube-shaped container that contained a dark blue liquid, which he was told to drink. The aliens spoke among each other in a strange singsong language. He was told that, among other things, that the speed of light was "imaginary." He received the impression that the craft was impossibly larger inside than what it looked like from the outside. The aliens told him that their main interest in coming to earth was water. He was eventually deposited back at the same spot on the beach where he was initially picked up. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It was impossible to restore it. As it was late, the witness turned off the receiver and went to the garden door to find the cause of the whistling. Astonished, she saw in the middle of the garage driveway a thing equipped with many lights, near which a man was standing looking at the lucerne field. She was so scared that she went back and locked herself in. After a moment she heard the same whistling again. Soon after, looking out the window, the thing had disappeared. The craft was about the size of a car: 4 m wide, 2.50 m high, of which 60 cm for the supports. An ellipsoid silver with a transparent hemispherical dome, at the top a white-bluish light that turned slowly. On the circumference of the object a gallery of small lights of various colors: white, violet, yellowish. The man was about 1.80 m tall, was dressed in a tight dark garment, his head tightly in a bonnet of the same color. Around the wrists, ankles and waist, he wore shiny bracelets. He looked at the field and suddenly walked quickly towards the UFO. At the place where the craft landed the ground shone: up close there were dark marks, like boot prints. These traces persisted for several days: during the day they were black, at night they shone slightly. **Reference:** STENDEK n° 11 - December 72 - p. 3 to 8 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2606 ### Event 32490 (6BBED228) **Date:** 8/16/1970 **Time:** 00:30 **Location:** AZNALCAZAR-PILAS, SP **Description:** Small dense cloud / roadside.

Opening the door to her house she saw a silvery Saturn-shaped object standing on legs. On top was a transparent cupola bearing a bluish-white rotating light; and around its perimeter were other multi-colored lights. A few feet away stood a tall man dressed in a dark blue or black tight-fitting uniform. It had a close fitting hood of the same color with shining white wrist bands, anklets, and a buckle. The man was examining a nearby field of alfalfa. He then turned and took long strides toward the UFO, which was approximately 30 meters from the witness. She closed her door, frightened about being discovered, but heard the intense whistling sound again as the object took off. Footprints were found in the area, and for several nights the site where the UFO had landed glowed at night. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** J.

After school six school boys in the same village reported seeing a very small disc-shaped object, blue in color, land in some bushes near their school. Five little men described as merely three inches tall emerged from the object. One was dressed in a yellow suit and the other four wore blue uniforms. They were seen installing some type of aerial on a tree branch that apparently sent out signals. The boys became frightened and ran away. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

One of the humanoids took out an object resembling a gun and shot one of the boys on his hand when the boy attempted to grab him. The boys ran to get their teachers but upon returning to the site the object and the creatures were gone. Later that same day the same young witness from the previous day encountered a small UFO on the ground near the school compound. Five three-inch tall humanoids emerged from the object. One of them, who appeared to be the leader, wore a yellow uniform and had two horn-like protrusions on his head. The other four wore blue uniforms. The leader pointed a weapon at the witness and shot at him. The witness blacked out and was found later lying in the bushes. He regained consciousness later, and a small red dot appeared on his leg where he had been shot by the creature. Two other boys in the same village went out looking for the reported small UFO and spotted two tiny men among some bushes. One was on a rock and the other on a tree branch. Both figures were dressed in yellow suits, and one had only one arm and appeared to be holding a small gun. The boys attempted to capture the entities but they got away. That evening the young son of a local high-ranking police official was returning from school when he saw two tiny figures hiding in the bushes near the school compound. As he tried to capture them he was shot in the hand and received a small cut. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Around 9:30 PM he saw something floating in the air emitting multicolored lights. As he approached the object he noticed that all the lights belonged to a silent and motionless structure, shaped like an elongated shell or bus, floating one meter above the ground. There were 15 rectangular portholes, about one meter long and 80 cm wide, with rounded corners. The object must have measured 20 m long and 3 m high. He started to crawl and drew his 9.4 mm Taurus 38. He fired once at 12 m from the object, which started to blink faster. Aiming carefully, he fired a second time. The blinking rhythm became so fast that he could no longer distinguish the extinguishing. A higher-pitched sound than that of a jet engine was heard. He was about to fire a third time when the object emitted a light in the form of a very intense white-blue ray that blinded and completely paralyzed the witness. Taken to the Guanabara hospital, he gradually recovered his mobility, but he remained blind for more than ten days, although ophthalmologists could not detect any serious injury. The investigation revealed that at the place where Altamiro had seen the object, the ground was dry in the middle of a bog resulting from continuous rain. Moreover, a woman from the state of Minas Gerais experienced a similar adventure.

They parked the car in an isolated area at 7:30 p.m. to smoke cigarettes and relax. They soon heard a loud buzzing sound similar to those emitted by crickets. The sound rose in intensity until it became unbearable. At that moment Valeria's mind seemed to go blank and she did not come to until 10:15 p.m. After the incident Valeria suffered from strange dreams of lights.

During a hypnotic regression session she remembered being in the car and hearing the loud humming sound. Moments later she found herself inside a room illuminated by an orange light. The room was very cold and she felt a tingling sensation on her hands. She was lying on top of a "bed" and she could not move her head. At first she could only see what appeared to be luminous spheres floating around her. Suddenly she felt someone holding down her hands. A figure then stood in front of her. She described the figure as short, with a large hairless head and dark eyes. Soon a sort of cable with what appeared to be a needle on its tip was introduced into her nose. The needle emitted a greenish liquid. A small implant was also apparently inserted between her eyes. Moments later a small cut was made on one of her big toes, but she did not bleed or felt any pain. A voice in her head told her that she was being implanted in order to facilitate future contacts. Soon one of the short humanoids approached her and took her on an "astral" journey. Both traveled through the solar system, around Saturn and the Sun and even inside the earth's interior. Soon awoke back in the car. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It was glowing white. The sky was clear and the object moved silently across the night sky in an easterly direction. While deciding whether to report this incident or not, the witness was peering out his kitchen window and sighted a large black limousine. He could see it quite clearly because there was a street lamp directly across the street from his house. Four occupants were in the vehicle. Two were seated in the front, and two in the back. Each had on dark suits and hats similar to those worn in the 1940's. They sat in their vehicle, motionless. They returned for the next several evenings. There was no verbal or physical contact with the strangers. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Ms. Gabriel Lellier (59 years old) from Latourelle Street was the victim on October 5, 1970, of numerous physical discomforts, caused by a very bright object and a kind of vapor that she had seen from her apartment around 4:30 in the morning. She had gotten up because she could no longer sleep, as often happens to her. She headed to her living room to sit down; suddenly she saw bright orange beams entering her living room through the window that faced the house across the street and Laruelle Street. She rushed to the window and, looking up to the sky, she saw a very bright orange disc. She then realized that her gaze was fixed on the object, that she could not move, her body was completely paralyzed. After 30 seconds the object descended to almost the top of the house across the street. It had tripled in size. It was now surrounded by a very bright white halo that lit up the entire sky. In the center of the red ball, Ms. Lellier could make out a black object spinning quickly, giving her the impression that it was a camera. Thirty seconds later she saw the object rise up at a dizzying speed. Its ascent was accompanied by a long luminous trail. Ms. Lellier could now move and she headed to the door that opened onto the gallery, opened it, put her foot outside and suddenly saw a series of two or three small white clouds, floating in a kind of thick fog that was only in the back yard. Without wanting to, she entered the first cloud and immediately felt her throat seized. A horrible gas smell had taken her and in one go she felt suffocated. Feeling faint, she ran back into the house and collapsed onto her bed, losing consciousness. An hour and five minutes later she woke up and her eyes hurt terribly. Looking in the mirror she saw that her hair had turned yellow and she had the deep feeling of giving off electricity. (...)

The cow was tied up not far from the paddock and the one-month-old calf was free at 5 m from its mother. The herd began to stir and moo, as well as the separated cow, which was looking at its calf with insistence. The calf also began to bellow. Astonished, the farmers saw the calf being carried in the air at 1 m from the ground, horizontally, towards the meadow, until a point at 20 m from its starting point, while they themselves felt paralyzed, unable to make a move. Suddenly, the calf, which was now silent, made a vertical ascent that lasted from 3 to 4 minutes, and suddenly disappeared from their sight in a cloud. (October 25-27, 1970) **Reference:** R.

He looks up and sees a globe about 60 feet in diameter approaching noiselessly. It stops about 18 feet in front of the car and hovers for 50 seconds about 30 feet up. Suddenly the object shoots straight up into the air, causing Salvesen to fall on the pavement. He hears a sharp crack caused by his front windshield shattering. About 3,200 feet in the air the globe changes to a fireball, which quickly disappears. After sweeping up the shards of windowpane glass, he drives on, but feels a numbness in his tongue a few minutes later. He also has an abrasion on his hand from falling down, but the skin sloughs off as if burned, and he has a redness around his eyes when he returns home. His travel clock starts keeping time badly. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[I Met a ‘Flying Saucer,’](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Sweden/Scandinavian%20Newsletter%20%28Anders%20Liljegren%29/Scandinavian%20Newsletter%20-%20No%201-2%20-%201971.pdf)” Scandinavian Newsletter, no. 1/2 \(April 1971\): 4–7 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4773 ### Event 32606 (E69935E9) **Date:** 10/29/1970 **Description:** At 4:40 p.m. while driving three kilometers east of Helleland, Norway Mr. Salvesen had just come to a transformer station on his right when he was temporarily blinded by a blue-white light that hurt his eyes.

At the same time Moyses Santos, a resident of the city, found himself surrounded by half a dozen three-foot tall beings in his room "who went around touching and upsetting everything." They floated about in the air, and had a translucent quality. They "looked like ice." When they got near a table lamp, they "lit up in many lights." One of them handed Santos a piece of paper on which he drew a flying saucer, without knowing why. The being then took the paper back. Finally they disappeared by passing through the walls.

Three teenagers--Larsh, Neal, and Sellars--took a photograph of two lights in parallel motion at 10:00 p.m. They had had sightings of similar phenomena earlier in the week and were prepared to take a time exposure on this night. They made their photograph using a Pentax camera on a tripod. The two lights were also seen by another resident, Hjalmar Bowlby, earlier that same evening. Remarkably, they weren't the only ones who were able to catch an image of a UFO using a camera that night. At 10:35 p.m. Jerry Mozer, also of Alamogordo, New Mexico took a photo of a luminous point in motion, making an abrupt change of course resulting in a "buttonhook" effect on the image. Both photographs are reproduced below. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Alamogordo Daily News, December 31, 1970 and January 3, 1971; Data-Net Report, February 1971, p. 21 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8590 ### Event 32671 (0A24E614) **Date:** 12/25/1970 **Description:** A V-shaped formation of 10 silver-gray circular objects was seen in the sky over Braintree, Massachusetts at four o'clock in the morning.

He claims he begins working on a series of exotic projects at Camp Hero in Montauk, NY, which allegedly did some experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory. >**_Note_**: Brookhaven is linked to claims of a UAP crash on 24 November 1992 with little corroborating information. A MUFON report at the time suggested a video showed a large fire of an unknown object, large parts being driven away on flatbeds, special access by Brookhaven personnel, county police turned away by men in black jumpsuits and multiple eyewitness testimony of lights flying erratically over the crash site. >* [https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread465182/pg1](https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread465182/pg1) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_133 ### Event 32686 (88641330) **Date:** 1/1971 **Description:** Alleged AIL-Eaton contractor Preston Nichols claims experiments in consciousness manifestation began at Camp Hero, culminating with the “Montauk Chair,” which could change thought into reality. Nichols claims **Project Phoenix III** worked on time travel aspects of consciousness manifestation, and teleportation to other locations began in 1982. Nichols claims **Project Rainbow** began in 1983 and accidentally manifested an entity that destroyed some of the base and its personnel, thereby ending psychic operations at Camp Hero. * [https://www.de173.com/the-montauk-project/](https://www.de173.com/the-montauk-project/) >**_Note_**: Nichols made these allegations in a book in 1992 with no independent sourcing. Over the next decade, Duncan Cameron, Steward Swerdlow and Al Bielek claimed to have been participants in Montauk activities too, though none provided any proof. Somewhat dubiously, all claim to have “remembered” what happened at the facility after they began communicating. > >Later, Bielek began to claim he and Cameron served in the Philadelphia Experiment (see April 1956) and that he time traveled to the 1980s to work on the Montauk programs. Bielek changed his story several times and there is no proof he was ever in the US Navy as he claims. > >Uri Geller does “corroborate” the existence of a Project Phoenix at the facility. > >* [https://youtu.be/owTvuThg1zw](https://youtu.be/owTvuThg1zw) >* [https://www.amazon.com/Montauk-Project-Experiments-Time/dp/0963188909](https://www.amazon.com/Montauk-Project-Experiments-Time/dp/0963188909) >* [https://www.de173.com/montauk-project-questioning-character/](https://www.de173.com/montauk-project-questioning-character/) >* [https://de173.com/montauk-project-questioning-character/](https://de173.com/montauk-project-questioning-character/) >* [https://www.urigeller.com/timeline-cias-interest-paranormal-human-consciousness/](https://www.urigeller.com/timeline-cias-interest-paranormal-human-consciousness/) >**_Note_**: Lawyer Andrew Basiago claims he was experimented on in a DARPA **Project Pegasus** that utilized the “Montauk chair” to view different scenes in time.

It is about 33 feet in diameter and moving against the wind. Their electricity goes off briefly. Looking out the window, the Talalas see their whole yard bathed in light caused by a huge fireball about 60 feet away, which rises up and disappears after a few seconds. Around 8:30 a.m., their son Timo asks them what the marks are in the snow outside. He has noticed a spot of hard green ice that is not covered with snow. Mauno takes some green ice and melts it into dark green water. The melted area is about 20 feet long by 10 feet wide, in the middle of which are ice needles as big as fingers with a ball of ice on top and some soot. The following day, he tells the newspaper, which sends a photographer to the site. UFO researchers from Oulu arrive on January 6 and take samples from the melted area and measure radiation. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Elis W.

The object hovered first at about 100 feet from the ground before catapulting upwards. He thought he could make out a creature inside the object. In the back of the cockpit there was a blinking light.

It was 25-30 feet in diameter and came to within 100 feet off their car and then took off toward the east.

As it lands, a small entity just under 3 feet tall glides to the ground from an opening on the underside. Through 3 windows on the UFO, three more entities can be seen. The entity approaches Aliranta, who turns on his chain saw. Suddenly, the being turns around and heads back to the UFO. As the humanoid is rising back up into the air, Aliranta grabs it by the heel of its boot with his bare hand. It burns him like a hot iron, and he has to let go. The burns are clearly visible 2 months later. The humanoid gets back inside, and the UFO takes off with a hum. Before the two men go back, they look at markings in the snow. At the end of each landing foot there had ben a round plate. These plates have penetrated the full depth of the snow \(1.3 feet\), leaving four round prints forming an even square 6.5 feet on each side. Circular footprints left by the entity are clearly visible, about 6 inches wide.

Aliranta and E. J. Sneck, were working in the woods in Kangaskyla, Kinnula, Finland when Mr. Aliranta noticed a 15 foot wide metallic saucer-shaped object descend and land on four thin legs in a clearing 50 feet away. After it landed a short entity just under 3 feet tall glided to the ground from an opening in the underside. It was dressed in a green one-piece "diver's suit" and wore a helmet with a circular faceplate. It approached the young men, walking on top of the deep snow, and Aliranta moved toward it with his power chain saw in hand. Through three windows in the upper part of the object three more entities could be seen. The humanoid retreated from Aliranta and was levitating into the object from underneath when the young man grabbed it by the heel of its boot with his bare hand. He found that touching it burned like a hot iron and he had to let go at once. As soon as the being was back inside the object it ascended with a slight buzzing or humming sound. Both men felt stiff all over and had difficulty moving. Four landing leg marks and small footprints were left behind in the snow. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Tapani Kuningas, FSR Vol. 17 # 5; David F.

He looked out and in the dark caught a glimpse of a vaguely human-like figure kneeling on the front lawn near a nearby empty fishpond. Curious, Dickson decided to find out who the stranger was. He stepped out on his front porch for a better look and was terrified to see a wolf-like man attempting to scoop up puddles of water from the bottom of the fish pond, crouched on its hands and knees. The sight was so shocking that Dickson suffered a heart attack and had to be rushed to Comanche County Memorial Hospital. In a report to the police Dickson described the creature as tall, with a lot of hair all over its face and body. It was dressed in an indescribable manner. Others saw the same or similar creature that same night. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

They hid to observe the phenomenon. After about ten minutes the luminosity of the sphere began to decrease slowly: they could not determine whether the ball was made of metal or plastic, it had no openings. Yet soon they saw three beings bustling around it with strange devices in their hands. They seemed to be looking for something and frequently looked in all directions. They were much taller than average and wore some kind of helmets. After a while they re-entered the sphere just as mysteriously and it took off and went north. **Reference:** Gilles DANJOU - Nostra - 18.11.1972 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2622 ### Event 32769 (953798B0) **Date:** 3/1971 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) End of the [Aeneid](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/projets.html\#Aeneid) operation.

Camus de Gevingey had a second store in Savigny: he made frequent trips between the two. That night he was returning around 01:10 and had just passed the small village of Trénal. A bright light in the distance caught his attention: it was not on the road, but more to the right. He continued to drive and quickly approached the place where this light source was located. He then saw that the lights were regularly arranged on the ground, on a line parallel to the woods. They were blue-tinted rectangles like fluorescent lights: he counted eight, the large side parallel to the ground. Then he almost simultaneously saw a kind of dull metal dome, about 8 m high and 15 m wide. Continuing to drive, a surprise awaited him: three beings were there, seeming to be waiting for him. He will qualify them as animals, so strange was their appearance. They were on all fours, climbing the embankment. Fear seized him. Especially when he saw about twenty of these beings in the meadow: some standing, others on all fours as if they were looking for something. The three near the tree were brownish, almost black, as if tanned. Their head had the aspect of an ant's, a rounded lobe framed by two other lobes swelling like cheeks. The car passed very quickly in front of them, they did not make any movement. Hardly had he passed them when a light filled his car: looking in the rearview mirror he had the impression that he was being shot at point-blank range. From that moment his fear disappeared. He had time to notice that the beings in the meadow were smaller and that they had their arms on the ground. Another feeling overwhelmed him: since he was hit by the beam, he was no longer aware of what he was doing. He had the impression that his car was driving alone, and it slowed down from 100 km/h to 20 km/h although it remained in 4th gear. He did notice that it was slowing down, but it did not affect him. A few moments later he noticed that the car's hood had become fluorescent, but this anomaly quickly disappeared. The car was only driving at 20 km/h and incredibly, it regained its regime on its own, without his conscious intervention. He did not stop, continued his journey at 50/60 km/h until Condamine completely disoriented. He only regained his senses in this village and continued to his home in Savigny. When undressing he was surprised to see traces of rectangles from 4 to 6 cm on 2 to 3 cm on the shirt, up to the belt. They were distributed on the left side; there were 7 or 8 of them. They were golden yellow, phosphorescent. Very fleeting they only lasted 5 to 6 minutes after he had taken it off. Three days later, brown rectangles appeared in the same places. It took three or four machine washes before they disappeared. The paint of the car was altered to the point that when washing it left green traces on the cloth. Pleasant consequence: for years M. Camus had suffered from headaches due to a liver disease: 6 months after this encounter he still has not felt any pain either in the liver or in the head. **Reference:** L.D.L.N.

As he approached, he saw that these were on a line of eight bluish luminescent rectangles on the ground in a marshy meadow beside the road. Above them he could distinguish, in the moonlight, a flattened hemispherical dome, apparently of dark metal, about 25 feet high and 50 feet wide.

When he got closer to the object he saw three "animals" on all fours climbing up the road bank. Their heads were level with his windshield so they "must have been of great stature." Their heads were shaped like an ant's with "a rounded lobe flanked by two other lobes swelling out like cheeks." He saw no faces. In the meadow he could see about 20 more of these beings, some upright and others on all fours. His car had just passed them when it filled with a bluish white light from behind, as if a "ray" had been projected at him. He lost control of the car, which spontaneously slowed down to about 12 mph, then recovered its initial speed when he reached the outskirts of Condamine. Later, when he took off his clothes he found on his shirt, below the belt line, several golden yellow rectangles about 1" by 2". These disappeared after a few minutes. Three days later similar chocolate brown rectangular marks appeared on his undershirt, and these persisted through 3 or 4 washings.

The paint began to come off his car when he washed it. Most surprisingly, he found himself cured of a liver ailment, which until then had been giving him excruciating headaches. A semi-elliptical imprint was found in the meadow the next day about an inch deep, with a long axis of about 36 feet. Inside the circle dandelions, abundant elsewhere in the meadow were absent, and where it crossed a drainage ditch the ice in the ditch had melted, and the water still seemed warm. At the edge of the woods beside the ground marks a large tree branch was freshly broken off. In the snow were footprints like those of "shoes without heels", some as big as 16" long. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

During that night, at 9:06 p.m., they saw a light coming towards them over the mountains. As it approached they had a missing time memory loss, and their next recollection was that they were hastily leaving the campsite two hours later.

During a hypnosis session five years later Scott described how the object approached and hovered over them. It was emitting a purplish light from underneath, and he felt a "pulsating, pulling feeling" as the two men were lifted up into the craft. They were separated once they were inside, and Scott was led by a 7 foot tall entity down a corridor to a door which "shattered" when they entered through it. On the other side was a small room filled with mist, where he encountered 4 or 5 similar beings, 7 foot tall and with grayish skin similar to that of a crocodile, and with 3 fingered hands. The room was cold and the mist emanated from vents in the floor.

Scott was stripped and placed against a very brightly lit wall panel. A machine directly in front of him appeared to "scan" him, and a new 9-foot-tall entity communicated with him telepathically and asked why he was afraid. His mind was briefly transported to some other worldly environment, presumably the being's home planet. The beings that examined him had huge ears, no hair, and slit-like mouths. Their feet were elephant like, with three broad toes. When the examination was completed, Scott was reunited with his friend and they were both returned to the ground with no conscious memory of what had taken place.

The guard dogs began howling, and the men all watched as the UFO suddenly shot away at high speed. Moments later one of the soldiers screamed in pain from a sudden bright flash that seemed to come from the ocean nearby. Meanwhile one of the soldiers released one of the guard dogs, a wolfhound with a fierce disposition, that was going crazy inside his cage. The dog ran immediately towards some nearby buildings and was followed closely by two of the men. The dog slowed down and began to grow menacingly, and one of the men felt heavy static in the air and his tongue began to itch. Both men then heard a loud noise coming from some nearby bushes. They saw a huge bulky figure that seemed to move clumsily among the brush. The men yelled at the figure to stop but it changed directions and began moving away quickly. Seconds later the men heard another noise and felt something heavy moving towards them. They fired their weapons in the direction of the noise and everything became silent. A search of the area the next day proved fruitless. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The man, an Australian aborigine, next felt a sucking force that pulled him outside, smashing him through a glass window that had an iron bar across it with a clearance of less than a foot. His wife, hearing the pane of glass breaking, entered the kitchen in time to see her 5' 2" husband disappearing horizontally through the lower pane, which was 4.5 feet from the floor. To jump through it would have been impossible, as it was only 32 inches wide and only 10 inches in height, and fronted upon the kitchen sink. The distance to the ground outside was seven feet. The man was terrified, yet he could not run from the strange being out of fear. Instead, he went towards it. He was discovered on the ground by a relative, cut and bruised, seven feet away from the smashed glass. This strange occurrence took place only hours after a number of people in nearby Kempsey had observed a strange bright light in the sky. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, May-June 1971, p. 3; David F.

They drove to the location on a dirt road and found a luminous object hovering just above the ground over a ploughed field, 80 yards away. It was 25-30 feet in diameter and shaped like a large bowl inverted over a smaller one. It had a series of rectangular, vertical windows in the upper half and round portholes below the rim. There was a red flickering glow from one of the upper windows, and Miss L. perceived two human like figures silhouetted in them. The figures appeared to be very tall, perhaps about 10 feet in height. Frightened, they drove away quickly. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The object was "football shaped," the interior light being "the brightest blue imaginable." The top portion of the UFO was transparent and the bottom was a greenish metallic "like gun metal" color with three large transparent portholes. The object was tilted downward at an angle revealing three tall humanoid figures, over six feet tall, in the transparent upper half of the UFO. One of the occupants pointed down at the witness and then turned toward a rectangular, lighted area. Mrs F. asked the cabbie, a Greek immigrant, to stop the taxi, but he accelerated away and drove them straight to her home without stopping. He left in a frightened state without collecting his fare. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

As they were approaching a hill, they saw a very bright light burst out to their right, which disappeared after a few seconds. Suddenly Mrs. Eater felt the car lift off the road, and to her great surprise, it floated in the air without leaving the right side of the road. Meanwhile, her husband tried in vain to steer the vehicle, with the headlights still on. A quarter of a mile further, the two astonished witnesses heard the sound of tires touching the road. (Allan 1971) (A. SCHNEIDER-H. MALTHANER: "Le dossier secret des OVNI", ed. De Vecchi, 1978, p 35, 36) At night, Mr. and Mrs. Raw Eater were driving at 70 km/h. Suddenly a flash of light hit their car. The car floated about 60 cm off the ground, the speedometer stayed stuck at 70 km/h and despite the bad condition of the road there were no more bumps. This continued for a distance of about 400 m. When the strange light went away, the car regained contact with the ground.

He was crossing a grassy field at 10:00 p.m. when he saw a bright object slowly approach at a low altitude, passing over some high-tension wires that crossed the field. He crouched down in some tall grass as the object landed with a bounce, about 100 feet away. The silvery UFO was higher than it was wide and had a "walkway" that ran around its circumference. It had red and white revolving lights on top and made a humming noise. A door "came down" out of which emerged a "huge" figure who was hunched over and walked in a "stiff legged, bouncing" fashion. The humanoid being had long arms and wore shiny, light reflecting clothing. In one hand it held a glowing box. The humanoid giant appeared to be approaching the tall grassy area where Michael was hiding, so the teenage ordered his dog to attack the figure. The being then turned and re-boarded the craft, and within a couple of minutes it took off. His companions from the camping expedition came and found Michael a short time later still in the grass, moaning and very frightened. The next day seven holes where found in the ground at the site. They were 2.5 inches wide at the top and a foot deep into the soil. Two days later, Michael and several other family members saw a bright disc-shaped object, which had been pursuing his sisters as they drove in a car up the long driveway to their house. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John Carlson, NICAP UFO Investigor, May 1972 p. 1; David F.

The craft was disc shaped with a dome on top and an antenna like protrusion. It had a door like opening to the left of its center; the opening emitted an reddish orange glow from inside. It also emitted a faint humming sound. He stopped his car to watch, and after two minutes he saw a figure walk back and forth within the doorway of the object. The humanoid being was dressed in a grayish white metallic suit with a hood and stood about six feet tall. The craft itself was dull gray in color and appeared to have burnt areas along the bottom. The witness, sitting behind the wheel of his vehicle, turned his head to his left and saw a similarly garbed figure only three feet way from the driver's door. He then heard a click and two seconds later a blast threw him against the vehicle's console. A loud explosion moved the car forward and the witness drove away as fast as he could. He then drove to the emergency room of a local hospital where he was treated with what looked like pellet wounds. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Griehl goes to retrieve some binoculars and misses most of the sighting. It is an incandescent dark orange in color and moving from east to west. It begins floating down with a rocking movement and approaches to within 230 feet. Suárez Marzal sees that it is revolving because of a small circular mark on its rim. A dense cloud issues from the object and surrounds it, turning it pearly gray with a faintly bluish sheen. As it gets closer, the circular mark seems to extend like a bronze-colored cylinder and has a handle-like protuberance on top. At one point it moves away to the northeast and disappears for 4 seconds but reappears even closer, only 130 feet away. It remains stationary for 10 seconds, and the cylinder seems deliberately pointed toward the short-wave antenna on the nearby central post office. He estimates it is 18–20 feet in diameter. It continues rocking and changes shape from a globe to a hat to an oval. Then after being visible for 90 seconds it takes off suddenly to the south, leaving a trail of vapor. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Antonio Baragiola, “[A Remarkable Case from Mendoza, Argentina,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201972%20V%2018%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 18, no. 2 \(March/April 1972\): 7–11; François Lagarde, “[Note on the Mendoza Report,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201972%20V%2018%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 18, no. 2 \(March/April 1972\): 11–12 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4805 ### Event 32873 (6D4DC0F2) **Date:** 5/24/1971 **Description:** In Mendoza, Argentina an incandescent orange Saturn-shaped object descended, discharged a dense cloud, then darted sideways at 12:10 p.m. It rocked back-forth in the sky while hovering, and then shot upward at an angle. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, July-August 1971, p. 1; Antonio Baragiola, FSR, March 1972, p. 7; Richard H.

Looking up, she saw in the direction of the chalk quarry, whose summit was 178 meters high, a dark mass in the shape of a saucer with a dome, the size of a bulldozer, suspended close to the ground. She continued her work while keeping an eye on the unusual and motionless object. After a long time, a small being, with an abnormally large head, seemed to float rather than walk around the object. He moved around the object, bent down as if to pick something up, passed under the object where he disappeared inside as if sucked in. Immediately the craft took off without a sound (800m from the witness) like an arrow towards the hill and disappeared into the clouds. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L.

These devices orbit at very low altitude, almost skimming the surface of the Earth on a scale of our planet. Initially launched at 170 km altitude, they then descend to 130 km and sometimes even less. This low altitude poses a problem due to atmospheric drag, multiplied by ten when descending from 170 to 130 km. (...) The big birds (officially "LASP") are enormous cylinders of 12 tons, equipped with an Agena rocket engine which regularly raises the altitude of the satellite above the fatal 130 km.

Yeoman Third Class James M. Kopf is in the Communications Center monitoring messages on various teletypes. Suddenly all the messages begin coming in garbled and he hears that all ship communications are out, including the radar, compasses, and electrical systems. A signalman from the deck tells them over the intercom that something is hovering above the ship. Kopf and others rush topside and see a huge, pulsating, orangish sphere stationed silently above the ship at a 60°–70° angle. The object remains about 20 minutes, but Kopf sees it only one minute before General Quarters sounds and he needs to return to his battle stations. The two F-4 Phantom jets on high readiness alert cannot take off. Soon the messaging returns to normal and the crew stands down after 2 hours. Kopf thinks only about 18 men witnessed the object out of the 5,000 on the carrier, because everyone is exhausted from the exercise. He hears that commanding officer Capt. [Ferdinand B. Koch](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/48771910/ferdinand-brailler-koch) is frustrated by the event, but two days later Koch reminds the crew that certain events are to be considered classified. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Good Need, [pp. 285–288](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/284/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4807 ### Event 32898 (0363B195) **Date:** 6/1971 **End date:** 7/1971 **Description:** U.S. Navy Yeoman Third Class James M.

On the night of June 7th Esther noticed a light approaching under the full moon. She went out onto the porch of the house with the dog. She saw an illuminated, rectangular-shaped object descending towards the ground near the intersection of two roads, 60 m from the house. The side of the craft facing her seemed to be occupied across its entire width by a control panel, but one of the men was hiding it with his back and outstretched arm. He made a sign to the other one inside, slightly leaning out to the right of the entrance, as if he wanted to attract the attention of a third one 6 m away on the road, collecting rock samples. She wanted to go and take a closer look, but the dog, in a state of panic, was pulling her back. She went inside to call her brother and when she came out again there was nothing, not even a light. The next day she found a 6 m long rectangular trace of burned grass at the edge of the road at the landing site. Four months later this imprint was still perfectly clear.

She saw what looked like a rectangular window that she judged was about 200 feet away, illuminated from within by a white light. It was on a darkened object whose shaped she could not make out, but she believed was resting on the ground. In the window was a man less that five feet tall dressed in olive green coveralls. The outfit completely covered him, even his face. He seemed to be aware of the witness and he used his body and arm to conceal some sort of instrument panel. He seemed to be trying to attract the attention of another humanoid figure outside the object, visible in the light from the window, who was stooped over and picking up rocks from the ground. She wanted to get closer to get a better look, but her dog would not let her. Trembling and cowering, the dog forced his mistress back inside the house. After the object left the grass at the landing site was charred black over an area 20 feet in diameter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John Major, FSR Case Histories, August 1973, p. 6; David F.

Believing it to be an earthquake, people rushed out of their homes. That's when everyone could see a large bright disc quickly crossing the sky from NW to SE, almost skimming the roofs of the village. The shock caused by the gust tore off tiles, the leaves of the trees made a dull sound. (...) the villagers confirmed to me that their houses had trembled and they confirmed to me the existence of a disc of more than 3 m in diameter, but in the villages around no one felt an earthquake, nor saw this bright disc.

Having finished my work in the vegetable garden, I set off for the return. The moon was suspended in the sky in the southeast. I was walking in the direction of the north. I unconsciously raised my head and saw another bright moon in the northwest sky (...) which was almost blue, its brightness similar to that of a fluorescent lamp. (...) the blue moon shone particularly as if it had exploded. Two other luminous objects shot out at the same time from this moon, one above the other: they were even bigger, but less bright than the blue moon. This spectacle put me in a deep stupor. I couldn't believe my eyes. A few minutes later, another strange phenomenon occurred: these two luminous objects themselves divided into two, making five objects in all including the blue moon. The last two were the biggest but the least bright. These five unknown flying objects were perfectly alike and they all stayed in the sky for a moment.

They stand there waiting for 5 minutes, then begin to put on orange belts, talking together animatedly. Suddenly a shining object appears in the sky, descends, and stops at a height of 2 feet from the ground. It is circular, bell-shaped underneath, and has a “turret” on the top. The object changes rapidly in color from orange to blue and to white. Suddenly a small staircase is dropped from the object, enabling the two men from the Mustang to enter the UFO. The staircase is drawn in, then the object takes off at an impressive speed. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, “[South American](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-CH%201972%20N%2010.pdf) [Round-Up, Part 1,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-CH%201972%20N%2010.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, no. 10 \(June 1972\): 9 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4812 ### Event 32963 (C1D099A2) **Date:** 7/7/1971 **Description:** At 6 p.m. in San Juan De Los Morros, Venezuela Dr. G.

They were all concerned about possible prowlers, so he looked out from his tent window and saw a human-like figure, foggy white in color like a phantom, walking down a path toward the boy's tent. The farther away the figure went, the less distinct it became. Stunned, he got up and ran out of his tent and down the path toward the other tent, but the figure had disappeared. He got the boys up and they explored the surrounding area, but they found no one. They then got into his car and they drove for several kilometers in both directions but found nothing more unusual. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He next saw "a completely white being of human form, with a pointed nose, slanted eyes, and a little puckered mouth" standing near him. He saw the being in profile. "His height did not exceed 4 feet. He had no hair, and nothing that resembled clothing. He was very, very visible in the darkness--there was no light, for the sky was overcast and the electricity was out that night." The being appeared to be transparent, and Gaetan had the impression that a stone thrown at him would have passed right through him.

It was cloudy, and she noticed an orange glow coming from behind a cloud, which she first thought was the moon. She watched a large, elliptical metallic object come out from behind the cloud that was larger than a Boeing jet plane. It hovered, trembling and shaking like a dry leaf, then it stopped entirely and hovered directly above the science building on the University campus. Two smaller objects, perfect replicas of the first, next came out from beneath it and started oscillating in their flight around the larger one. The larger UFO was silvery metallic in color but had a wide orange, phosphorescent band crossing it from side to side. Within this band the witness believed she saw oval-shaped portholes of a light hue, and three or four shapes moving behind them.

The larger UFO emitted a broad, bluish beam of light that fell directly into the room in which the witness was sitting, so it appeared to have been aimed at her. She compared the type of light to that of an oxyacetylene lamp. Every time it hit her it nearly blinded her. The light turned off briefly and then turned on again, at first gradually, then more brightly. She now felt irresistibly drawn to it and had to hold on to the back of the settee so as not to fly out the window. She felt that the light was having a hypnotizing effect on her, and she tried to call out to her husband but could not say a word. The beam of light turned off and on five times over a ten minute period until she finally managed to wake her husband who came over to see the larger metallic object fly away. It flew at an incredible speed in a northeasterly direction until it was lost to sight beyond the Sugar Loaf in the direction of Niteroi. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

They were surprised to find that the journey had only taken them 40 minutes, when normally it would take much longer. Furthermore, they had no recollection of the journey, except that they had seen a strange green light at one point. Their car, a 1971 Valiant Sedan, was covered in an odourless oily substance. Attempts to learn more through hypnosis failed. **Reference:** "UFO Files", ed.

They are about to run out of gas when, passing by a closed gas station, they notice a green light among the trees. Ben and Helen suddenly realize they have been driving in a straight line for a long time and realize they have been repeating the same words. They notice a circle of lights above them on the left just before passing a sign indicating Port Alma, 40 km from Calliope River. The last thing they remember is being at a railroad crossing just outside of Rockhampton. They stop at an open gas station and inquire: they have traveled about 130 km in 40 minutes, and have no recollection of that time passing.

It was about 30 feet long with a curved standing portion at one end, so that it had the profile of a huge smoothing iron. Three grayish entities of normal human size then appeared out of some nearby bushes and stood together. They were dressed in what looked like diver's suits and helmets. They approached the object and entered it by a door in the upper part of the curved portion, the UFO then rose vertically to a height of 50 feet and then took off rapidly in a near-horizontal trajectory. Sundberg took a photograph as the last of the occupants was boarding. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It was a very tall, well-built, and human like, but with very pale skin that seemed to lack any pores. It had a large hairless head with a high forehead and large gray colored eyes. It wore a pair of green shorts and it walked towards the shore very stiffly, almost like a robot. It walked past the witnesses maintaining a straight steady gaze on them. The witnesses turned their heads for a second and when they looked back the being had completely vanished. There was nowhere he could have gone and he was nowhere in sight. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, case # 643, citing J. J. Benitez, La Quinta Columna **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5087 ### Event 33049 (3F26DBBC) **Date:** 8/16/1971 **Description:** At 6:45 p.m. John R. Renz had just been relieved from guard duty at Francis E. Warren Air Force base near Cheyenne, Wyoming and had stopped at the mess hall for a beer. On his way back to the barracks he came upon an unlit area of the base at the concrete reinforced bridge, which crossed over Cow Creek. For some reason everything was unnaturally quiet around him. As he began to cross the bridge and just before he got to the middle of it, a paralyzing sound resembling loud heart beats became evident. Simultaneously the area around the bridge lit up like midday. There was also a heavy breathing sound present, and the bridge began to sway in a wave-like motion and then settled down. Frightened, he began to run toward the other end of the bridge, but before he reached it he realized that he had dropped his tobacco pipe and went back to retrieve it. The bridge was still lit up and the loud sounds persisted. He found his pipe and stooped down to get it. When he looked up he was stunned to see a six to seven foot tall being standing there, only three feet away from him. The being had a medium build as far as the torso, but its head was much larger than normal and it had long arms. It appeared to be wearing a wet suit. The hood and body suit were one unit. The eyes were covered with a one-piece face mask that went across both eyes, as if it was some kind of blast shield, but the nasal area joined in with it. From the nose there was a silver gray tube that stretched at least a half a foot long and went straight into the chest area. The silver gray tube was ribbed and looked like a tracheal tube. The hands consisted of three long fingers that ended in claws. The feet were three toed and did not appear to have any heels. When Renz looked up to the being's face, he was almost in a full standing position. The being raised its right, three-fingered hand and motioned for him to come closer. Instead, Renz turned and ran. His next recollection was of coming up on a military jeep and being picked up by two soldiers, still on the base. There was a seven-hour period of missing time.

Years later, under hypnosis, Renz remembered being inside some kind of object in a cockpit along with the being. The being spoke to him telepathically. He remembered descending through clouds of vapor that had a reddish brown tinge. The craft then flew in between two huge mountains: there was no vegetation anywhere and it looked like a rocky desert. He next remembered following the being through a huge door into the side of a mountain tunnel and entering a small room. In this room there was a table that floated in mid-air. The walls and floor of the room were a silver-gray color. On the floating table there was the carcass of a creature. The creature on the table had a larger than normal head and a face resembling that of a wasp. The eyes were large, like wasp eyes, and had slits inside that looked like pupils. It had what looked like multi-lens eye coverings, and it had a small jaw and a slit-like nose. The creature was about four to five feet in length and looked to have an exoskeleton. Its color was tan to brown with a bluish gray tinge. The humanoid creature gave off an unbearably foul odor, resembling a rotten egg sulphur smell. It had three fingers on its hands and at the elbows there was a sharp concave shaped spike at least six inches long. The mouth was gaped open and the teeth were like small shark teeth. A clear liquid with a reddish substance was dripped on the table.

The tall being then told the witness to leave the room. Outside the room he saw a saucer-shaped craft with a wide front end and a round tapered tail. The whole craft sat on two pillars, rectangular in shape with at least 50 feet between them. The being told him to go inside and sit in the left seat. On what appeared to be a control panel Renz saw numerous strange symbols. There was a sound like a powerful electric motor and the craft took off. Later he recalled the craft attacking a large mountainous area resembling a beehive. He could see numerous creatures inside. They appeared to be scrambling back and forth. There were a couple of hundred of them and they appeared to be the same as the insectoid humanoid that was on the floating table. The craft landed in the destroyed complex where he remembered seeing a live creature with the face of a wasp that was wearing a dark cape or cloak. Within its cloak it was carrying three small insect creatures at least a foot long. Their heads were triangular in shape with large eyes. The tall humanoid shot and killed the creature and the little ones. Renz was then taken back to the Air Force base. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Of a bluish color, a localized mist surrounded them. One was the size of a human torso, and had something red on it; the other was "the size of an overgrown softball." Frightened, the young men took off for home. Under hypnosis five years later, John Hodges recalled that the larger brain had spoken to them telepathically, saying, "Take the time to understand yourselves, the times draws near when you shall need to. You shall not remember this incident until we meet again."

He also recalled that when he had arrived home and was still sitting in his car, he had a "dream" or vision of being in a large room with the brain. There were control consoles all along the wall, and there were several 7-foot-tall Grey skinned, bald humanoids with 6 webbed fingers and toes and thin lipped mouths. On a TV-like screen were pinpoint of lights, which the brain told him were places on Earth where there was "too much power." He was also shown 3-D pictures of atomic explosions, and of a planet destroyed by "too much power." After feeling a "buzzing" sensation he found himself back in his car. He thinks the experience was a "holographic projection," because he noticed that behind him all was black. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

As the object approached he noticed that it was a man-shaped figure that rapidly changed direction and headed towards him. Concerned he called for other witnesses and noticed that the being flew in a crouched position resembling that of someone riding on an "invisible" motorcycle. He described the figure as human with rosy skin, long black hair, and a beard and was very tall. It hovered near the witness, staring at him with penetrating black eyes. As other witnesses approached the figure disappeared in the direction of a nearby river at a low altitude. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

One day at noon, as he was returning home for lunch, in the middle of the path, he suddenly saw a man with a big head coming towards him. When Rongchang was 5 or 6 m away from the unknown man, the latter stopped. Astonished by the unexpected presence of this strange creature, Zhang stopped too and shouted twice to the man: "What do you want?" No reaction. The old peasant had the time to examine the man without seeming to and saw that he had a well-proportioned body structure. His body was dressed in a one-piece garment, like a space suit, made of metal leaves, with dots in front and behind. His clothing shone intensely in the sun. It was difficult to distinguish his arms and legs; His walk and his look seemed stiff, silent. His very bulky head was three times bigger than that of a normal man. It was covered with a helmet and the witness could not see any detail behind this helmet. Zhang Rongchang was very scared: he took a detour and ran desperately. When he was at some distance, he turned back to see the creature again, but it had mysteriously disappeared. (Zhang was never the same again, he remained prostrate, and died in January 1972) (...)

They wore tight-fitting bluish metallic coveralls with wide white belts and white gloves. The witness felt a sense of compassion and understanding emanating from the humanoids. The humanoids approached him and communicated in French, telling him that they had come from the star system of Vega. They were here on a mission to attempt to persuade humanity to change its ways. After more conversation one of the humanoids gave Paul something resembling a piece of chocolate, which he ate, he became drowsy and later woke up in his apartment, suffering a complete amnesia of the event. He was only able to recall the incident on a later date. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

On board are photographer Sergio Loaiza, a specialist in aerial photography, plus geographer Juan Bravo and topographer Francisco Reyes. Loaiza was using a R-M-K 15/23 camera, specially made for cartography and using high-resolution black-and-white film, strapped on the bottom of the aircraft and taking automatic photos with an intervalometer. No one sees a thing while they are up in the air, but when Loiaza reviews his images, he discovers in frame 300 what seems to be a huge metallic disc against the dark background of the lake. The object does not appear in the previous or following frames. [Jacques Vallée](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques%5FVall%C3%A9e) obtains a copy of the negative and examines it with [Richard Haines](http://www.nicap.org/bio-haines.htm) and concludes that the photo shows “an unidentified, opaque, aerial object was captured on film at a maximum distance of 10,000 feet.

More than 50 “soldiers” in blue “uniforms” emerge. They march in formation into a hollow in the field and are lost to view. Juan can now see only five or six “chiefs” standing on a slope and staring in his direction. When they shine a light at him, he ducks behind the hut. A bit later he looks out again and they shine the light once more. Frightened, he flees to Aznalcóllar to inform his employers, who do not take him seriously. He later insists that the object and the “soldiers” have left marks in the ground, but police do not bother to follow up. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Ignacio Darnaude, “[An ‘Army of Humanoids’ Stated to Have](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%203.pdf) [Landed in Spain,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 20, no. 3 \(December 1974\): 19–21; Ignacio Darnaude, \[[case clippings](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/avistamientos%5Fovnis/Humanoides%201971%2CAznalcollar%2CSevilla%20%282%29.pdf)\]; Clark III 282 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4820 ### Event 33092 (FA211BCB) **Date:** 9/12/1971 **Description:** On this night Juan De La Palmareno, an 81-year-old peasant, was guarding a melon field in Aznacollar, Spain from poachers when he saw a vessel "as big as a bus" land near an old well.

He was then surrounded by a perceived dense black cloud that seemed to extinguish all light. (Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, Supp. No. 10, June 1972.) (NICAP: 02 - Close Encounters) **Reference:** [NICAP Listing by Date PDF](http://www.nicap.org/NSID/NSID_DBListingbyDate.pdf) **Source:** NICAP_DB, **ID:** NICAP_DB_4069 ### Event 33118 (1AD79366) **Date:** 9/20/1971 **Description:** At 1:45 a.m. Osvaldo Nestor D'Annunzio, age 19, was returning by truck along an isolated road from a local ranch in Estacion Gil, near Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina when he noticed a bright white object quickly approaching him at high speed. The object rapidly approached the ground in an unnatural manner by making a very wide curve. As the object got closer it looked more like a reddish, triangular light. When it came even closer it changed into a top-shaped craft that emitted a cloud of red and white flame. The craft swung from right to left in a descending pendulum trajectory, finally slipping behind the tops of some nearby trees near the edge of the road. Once the object went behind the trees, a powerful reddish glow transformed the night into day, and he felt heat emanating from the object. At that moment he blacked out.

When he recovered consciousness he saw the UFO ascending, and it disappeared behind a nearby eucalyptus forest. He did not know how long he had been unconscious. Upon arriving home, D'Annunzio felt a paralysis in both his arms. He could walk, but his arms became so completely paralyzed that he could not use them to open the door, and he had to kick the door to attract attention. He was immediately rushed to a local military hospital for treatment. His paralysis continued until four p.m. the next afternoon.For the next seven months he suffered from paralysis in his arms, starting at midnight and lasting until early in the morning. He also suffered facial and scalp burns. Later he had further memories of the incident, recalling that he saw numerous cows and sheep standing strangely still at the edge of the road as the UFO descended, and the craft seemed to have split in two as it disappeared behind the trees. He further described the UFO as shaped like a child's top, metallic blue in color, and encased in a red glow with a flame shooting from the bottom. It was about three meters in length.

Other witnesses in the area reported seeing the same or a similar UFO flying low over the area, including a man who reported vehicle interference as a result of the passage of the object. Later, local UFO investigators discovered dozens of cows and sheep dead and scorched alongside the road. Using a Geiger counter they measured a high level of radioactivity in certain areas. In the place where the object had descended they also found a burned circular area of grass about 10 meters in diameter. In addition, several metal telephone lines in the area were found severed along what appeared to be the object's trajectory. A last unusual detail is that D'Annunzio apparently managed to drive the last eight kilometers in only two minutes, so some levitation and translocation may have been involved. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

As the speed was engaged, the car jumped forward when the UFO moved away, but stalled immediately. Panicked and sweating, the witness turned the key and was able to leave, but twice more the red and blue object approached him, and the car stopped again. Three humanoids of 90 to 100 cm in height were approaching him, floating, and he was taken by the trio and transported inside the craft where he was examined without being touched. He was brought outside by some kind of elevator and collapsed on the ground. They dragged him 5 m to the edge of the road, where he lost consciousness. Ten minutes later he was able to get up and saw someone approaching: it was Doctor Crespo to whom he asked for help. (...) He immediately went to tell his story to the police, who saw him arrive with his arms and clothes dusty as if he had rolled on the ground. (follow-up on October 11, 1971) (Inforespace n° 56 of 1981, pp. 38 to 41) Between Natividade and Itaperuna, RdJ (Br.) on 22/09/71 Paulo Caetano Silveira (27 years old): temporary blindness; scratches and bruises; state of shock (source FSR 17.6 page 24). Paulo Silveira recounts that two figures in blue one-piece suits took him inside a luminous disc. He was driving towards Itaperuna when the disc blocked the road. A beam of light came out of it and the engine of the car stopped, while Silveira himself remained without energy. He heard a motor sound when the two extraterrestrials, the size of children of about ten years old, carried him on board. He fell into a coma. He woke up when they laid him on the edge of the road near his car, then they entered their craft and left. A passing motorist found the unfortunate, disoriented, dazed, and blind, and took him to the hospital. The abduction had lasted three hours. (1971, (12?)

He was treated at home, lay down and fell asleep. He told the police that while he was traveling around 24 hours between Itaperuna and Cataguazes, he saw a strange round object on the road. Approaching, he saw two small men measuring about 30 cm. From their belt, the dwarves took out a lamp from which a light beam, sometimes blue, sometimes vermilion, came out. The beam was directed at him and when the light hit him he was suspended in the air like a bird hovering. Every time the light intensity increased, the witness went higher, up to about 50 m: he felt paralyzed, unable to even scream. After about 5 minutes, headlights appeared in the distance. The dwarves lowered the beam towards the ground and the witness was taken back inside the truck. It took him a quarter of an hour to recover. (...) He stopped on the bridge crossing the Rio Carangola to check a steering defect, not knowing why he suddenly fell asleep and woke up at 6:30 the next morning, not understanding how he was in the car and had his clothes soiled). He returned home not remembering anything but had pains all over his body. 10 days after the incident, his left hand was still shaking slightly.

When he did it a second time it did not respond again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Keith Basterfield, Australian Flying Saucer Review, February 1972, p. 21 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6225 ### Event 33130 (E9A8BEF2) **Date:** 9/22/1971 **Description:** At 11:45 p.m. a silent ovoid-shaped UFO flew at 500 to 1000 meters altitude over the city of Marseille, France illuminating the area below it yellow in color. It made a sudden 70 degree turn and shot off toward the north. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 127 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6226 ### Event 33131 (78DA5B19) **Date:** 9/22/1971 **Description:** Sr. Paulo Caetano Silveira, age 27, a typewriter technician, found his car being followed by a red luminous disc while driving to his home in Itaperuna, Brazil. At Tombos he reported the matter to the local police, but they did not take him seriously. After he calmed down he started off again. This time, at about 7 p.m. and at a small village named Serraria, he encountered a black object on the road that turned a luminous red and then blinding white in color, and his car engine died. The object, slightly larger than a Volkswagen, had small windows and an open door. Next to it were standing three short, chubby beings approximately 20 inchestall, with fair complexions and slanted eyes. They wore one-piece, sky-blue coveralls with high collars, and "Roman helmets" with spikes. They carried vivid red and blue lights and moved in a stiff, mechanical way.

Two bright beams of light were focused on the witness's car and its doors popped open. These beams pulled the witness from the car and into the machine, whose interior was brilliantly illuminated by white light. There was little in the way of furnishings inside, but inside were five more similar dwarfs. "An infernal din" commenced and believes the object flew some distance with him, but he shortly lost consciousness. The next thing he was remembered was being carried out and laid on the road beside his car. The UFO then rose vertically, hovered a moment, then shot off laterally at a staggering speed. The witness was left in a state of shock and nearly blind. For five days he still could not see well and was extremely nervous. His watch had lost 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Shortly after 8pm, the UFO, a red ball of nearly 20m in diameter and equipped with a cockpit like a helicopter cabin, was observed by the crew of a fishing boat. It illuminated the surface of the sea as if it were broad daylight. The ball circled the boat, at less than 50 meters, for a few minutes before sinking into the water 3 miles from their position.

The huge object (4 cm at arm's length, that is 6 to 8 m of real diameter) stands vertically and is dotted with round spots, all of the same size (1 m in diameter) whiter than the disk itself. As nothing happens, the children abandon their observation after one or two minutes. (1971, Autumn) **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." - Ed.

It is emitting mist, and after a few seconds it spurts out a large jet of smoke and rises in the air. It hovers a few more seconds then rises to a higher level. Soon it drops down toward the ground and disappears. The unit dispatches a motor vehicle to find the object, but due to the ruggedness of the mountain roads, it turns back after more than 3 miles. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wendelle Stevens and Paul Dong, UFOs over Modern China, UFO Photo Archives, 1983, p. 72 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4822 ### Event 33147 (C89E50BC) **Date:** 9/25/1971 **Description:** At two a.m. Benito Miranda, a 24-year-old truck driver, was driving on Highway 40 west of Itaperuna, Minas Gerais, Brazil when he perceived a strong beam of reddish light, coming from something that blocked the road ahead of him. He lost control of his car, and it slowed down and stopped despite his best efforts. He got out of his car and saw an object about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle on the road. A door opened in the object and three diminutive beings, less than two feet tall, jumped down from it. They wore coveralls with "Roman type" helmets, and carried dazzling lights. With a yellow beam of light they levitated him 150 feet from the ground, where he was floated for about 15 minutes. When the headlights of an approaching car came into view he was gently lowered back down to the ground, and the object and its occupants vanished. He drove back to Itaperuna and reported his close encounter to the police, who sent him to SAMDU Hospital to be examined. An independent witness, the driver of the approaching car, reported witnessing the event. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Irene Granchi, APRO Bulletin, September 1971, p. 3; David F.

Later that same day Miss Linda Milne saw a tall, hairy creature enter some woods near the old Wantage canal. Two 14-year-old boys said they were chased by it, that when they threw stones at it it ran towards them. They scaled a fence to get away, but the creature did as well. Later, they observed a disc-shaped object take off from a field in the same field. At the time there were many reports of UFOs in the area. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He slammed on the brakes and came to a halt, believing he may have hit the man. He jumped out and went behind his truck, but found no one. Coming back around to the front of his vehicle he saw in the headlights a "spaceman," 7-8 feet tall, with big, staring eyes 8-12 inches apart and extending around the sides of its head. It had a pack on its back from which two tubes led to the head. When Delman honked his horn repeatedly the "thing" jumped three feet in the air and ran across the road, then leapt over a hedge. Two other lorry drivers came upon the scene, and together they watched a disc-shaped object take off from the field where the figure had disappeared. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

While on the downwind leg of the pattern to runway 20L at the Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, four pilots on board a single-engine Cessna airplane watch as a “huge star” approaches them on their starboard side. The object descends to their altitude and slows rapidly to their air speed, smoothly changing its direction to fly parallel with them at an estimated distance of 98 feet. It looks like an “inverted dish” with a small rounded protrusion centered on its upper surface that seems to contain oval windows. What appears to be the head of a person is seen in one window looking at them. The UFO is seen for about 85 seconds. The object descends at high velocity toward the water’s surface, turns sharply left without any hesitation and disappears from sight in several seconds. The reporting witness is Chief Flight Instructor José Américo C. Medeiros, 23, pilot of the Cessna. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Richard F.

From his bed he saw a light in the garden, so he went to his kitchen where he could get a better view. Through the window grating he saw the same object that had stopped him on September 22nd. It was hovering a half meter from the ground only three meters from his house. Paulo Caetano saw several small figures beside the craft, who pointed a small box-like implement in his direction. The witness and the small figures remained eyeing each other, with no movement, for 10 minutes. At some point Paulo Caetano's head began to ache.

(..) I looked up without any particular intention and to my great surprise saw a strange flying machine shaped like a tank. I estimated its height to be between 4 and 5 m, its diameter between 2 and 3 m. It was in the sky at 400 or 500 m from the ground. It was a shining metal machine that flew along the street without making any noise. Its speed was equal to that of the cars and it was turning slowly on itself. I stopped to look at it better and the passers-by followed my example: everyone in the street was looking at it for a minute, then it disappeared. **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials" ed.

The group tried to turn back but the van came under the control of the object and it drove directly towards it. They got to within 20 feet of the craft and the van stopped. They all felt heat at this point. They then saw a face with large black eyes staring at them through the window. The back door of the van was opened and four humanoids stood there. They had large hairless heads and large black eyes. The beings communicated telepathically with the witnesses telling them they would not be hurt. Three of the witnesses were taken inside the object and tested with numerous instruments. At one point the aliens told one of the witnesses that there was not a "correct religion on earth." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Upon turning around, she saw, very clearly, the outline of a tall male figure striding up the road in the bright moonlight. The figure was about seven-foot tall, with extremely long arms, which hung limply at his sides. He seemed to have no neck, and his head appeared to rise directly from his shoulders. The body itself was almost transparent, with only the outline being solid. Later that same night, Neil Pike also was on watch near some white metal gates, and looked over to the road leading up to a military vedette post. He became aware of three giant figures standing in a line near the opposite hedgerow. His description was similar to his wife's, except that the bodies ended at the mid-section and he could not discern any legs. Startled, he shone the beam of his flashlight at one of the tall figures. Immediately it vanished, only to reappear at another spot nearer to him. He flashed the flashlight on the other two and the same thing happened. They were now much closer to him. Alone on the hill, he panicked and ran to his car, got in, and quickly sped away. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He then saw an object in the shape of a fly agaric mushroom, which lit up from top to bottom in all colors, the base being very bright. It came over the shed, broke a dead tree on the way, broke a branch off another tree and stopped near the latter, about 60 cm from the ground, for several minutes. Then its base became brighter and it rose obliquely at great speed, passing over the shed with a shrill noise like that of a jet plane. Ronald called his parents who finally decided to come and saw the light of the craft disappear in the distance. Going around the shed adjacent to the site, Ronald and his parents saw in the dark (night had come) a bright circle with a faint glow. The ground shone with a gray-white color. The branches of the site also shone in the same way. Approaching closer, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson touched the circular surface. It was not hot, but to the touch the texture of the ground seemed strange, as if the ground was crystallized. Mrs. Johnson immediately felt that her fingers had become numb. She then rubbed her hand against her leg to try to dispel this numbness, but the part of her leg where she had rubbed became immediately insensitive like the tip of her fingers. She compared this numbness to a local anesthetic. Mr. Johnson also felt the same sensation after touching the ground. (...) Broken branches, crown-shaped trace whose ground is waterproofed, containing a whitish substance. No radioactivity. **Reference:** Henry DURRANT: The UFO File - Laffont 1973, p. 111-161 and 262 to 262 as well as photographic insert **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2650 ### Event 33225 (224B7A14) **Date:** 11/2/1971 **Time:** 19:00 **Location:** DELPHOS, KS **Description:** 3 observer(s). 9' saucer hovers 2' / field.

Nine feet in diameter and 10 feet high, the UFO is slightly domed at the top and is hovering 2 feet above the ground. He and his dog stare at the object while the sheep are bellowing. After several minutes, the glow at the base becomes more intense and the object takes off at an angle, clearing by no more than 4 feet a shed attached to the sheep pen. The rumbling is replaced by a high-pitched wail. Johnson is temporarily blinded but recovers his sight a few minutes later and sees the object still there. He runs into the house to tell his parents, and they also see the light in the southern sky moving off into the distance. At the site where the UFO has been is a glowing, gray-white circle where the soil seems to be crystallized. After the parents touch the soil, it turns their fingers numb, persisting for several weeks. Johnson takes a photo of the circle. Seven separate soil analyses are conducted. Soil samples taken from the ring so not absorb water, have a higher acid content, and contain more soluble salts and calcium. They also produce less seed growth than control samples and are coated with a hydrocarbon of low molecular weight that is difficult to remove. A second substance is also found that is composed of white, crystalline fibers. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Delphos, Kansas, November 2, 1971](http://www.nicap.org/ar-711102dir.htm)”; “[Landing](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201971%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf) [Case in Kansas,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201971%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Nov./Dec. 1971, pp. 1, 3; Ted Phillips, “[Landing Report from Delphos,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-CH%201972%20N%209.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, no. 9 \(February 1972\): 4–10; Vallée, The Invisible College, Dutton, 1975, p. 35; Clark III 400–402; Kim Hansen, “UFO Casebook,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, pp. 79–82; Erol A.

Sixteen-year-old Ron Johnson was tending the family sheep with his dog at around seven p.m. when he saw a mushroom-shaped UFO appear in the night sky. The object was covered with multicolored lights on its metallic surface. It hovered only a few feet above the ground only 75 feet away from him in a sheep paddock. Ron estimated the craft's diameter at 6-8 feet. The teenager tried to get a closer look but under the brilliant luminance he was not able to make out any additional details. He described the craft as making a loud sound, "like an old washing machine which vibrates." The glow from the bottom of the UFO increased as it began to shoot up into the sky. Ron was temporarily blinded by the brightness of the craft as it ascended. After he regained his sight and composure, he ran back to the family house to alert the others. The bright glow was now high in the sky, as it began to vanish from sight altogether.

Three family members came running around the side of the house to get a glimpse of the unusual object. They were shocked to see a glowing ring on the ground, right under where the craft had hovered. Ron’s mother touched the surface of the ground around the glow, and said it "felt strange, like a slick crust, as if the soil was crystallized." Her fingers went numb, like she had been given a local anesthetic. Seeing nothing else of the craft, the family finally went to bed for the night.

(Continued.) At dawn the family returned to the sight of the glowing ring and to their surprise, it was still there. The inside and outside of the ring were damp from a rain shower, but the ring itself was completely dry. The ring had a crusty appearance, as though the rain had simply run off. Slightly over a month later, after a snow fall, the white ice had melted both inside and outside of the ring, but the ring itself maintained the snow drift. Investigators experimented with the ring by removing snow from a section of it and pouring water on the exposed part. The soil would not allow water to pass through.

Further experimentation showed the ground under the ring to be dry to a depth of one foot. The ring itself was composed of a whitish substance, which was sent for laboratory analysis. The lab findings found that there were fibers in the soil of an organism called Actinomycetales actiniomycete nocardia, which is an intermediate organism between bacteria and fungus, and is “often found together with a fungus of the order Basidomycetes, which may fluoresce under certain conditions...” One possible interpretation is that high-energy stimulation triggered the spectacular growth of the Nocardia and of an existing fungus, and caused the latter to fluoresce. Phosphorous may also have been baked out of the soil and may have been the substance that numbed Mrs. Johnson’s fingers when she touched the ground. The experience of Ron Johnson is still considered one of the best documented "ground trace" UFO cases on record. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ted R.

When she opened the door they ran inside and hid under the living room couch. When she looked out the window, she saw an "elliptical moon" object lighting up her backyard and part of the pasture beyond. Going to the front door, she discovered a strange little vehicle that had landed on her lawn, which resembled a Volkswagen without fenders or doors. From the top emerged three small men dressed in dark garments, one of whom communicated with her telepathically, saying, "Are there any pigs in that field? They are hungry." Then she saw, near the men, two peculiar looking creatures covered with fuzzy hair, but standing erect. She retreated back inside her house, and when she looked out again the object was airborne, and the "moon" was gone. Later she learned that several pigs had been lost at a nearby farm. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

At a certain moment he saw a light about 2 km away diagonally down and thought that a colleague was working like him. He went up the slope and felt that it was bright. He was flown over by lights without a defined outline, located at 50 m altitude and to his unpleasant surprise he saw these lights descend vertically and suddenly panicked. He left the tractor with the headlights on and the engine running. He fled to his brother's house a few hundred meters away. He nevertheless turned around and saw (it was as bright as day) five lights parallel to each other about ten meters above the tractor. Regaining courage he waited and after a few seconds the lights rose, rose to fifty meters and moved back on the trajectory followed on arrival. **Reference:** J.C.

Suddenly, Cellot thinks he sees a light coming from another tractor. He then realizes that the light is in the sky and is moving in his direction. He then assumes it is a helicopter and continues his work. This light, preceded by another red one, follows him along the field, hovering just above him. Then, 5 extremely powerful beams shoot out of it towards the ground. The witness is unable to guess the nature of the object that produces them. When the UFO starts to descend towards him, Cellot takes off, leaving the tractor with the headlights on and the engine running. Almost immediately, the UFO rises and slowly heads north. It is only then that Cellot realizes that it had made no noise. He returns to his home, deeply shaken.

A flying disc made a sharp 90 degree turn to follow the tractor. It shot down beams of light, then made a 180 degree turn and flew off to the NE. A brighly lit object stopped in mid-flight in Biloxi, Mississippi near a military base at 5:30 p.m. local time. The UFO hovered about 200 feet above the ocean and about 700 yards away from the two military witnesses. The base Ops received more than 50 phone calls about the UFO. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, FSR, May 1972, p. 4; Ed Walters, UFOs are Real: Here's the Proof, p. 115 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7674 ### Event 33256 (948FC6B7) **Date:** 11/17/1971 **Location:** BRAZIL, Bananeiras **Description:** (Translated from French) (cf: continuation of October 11, 1971) At 9:30 PM Paulo Gaetano was returning in a car with passenger Elvio Bianchi. He felt that the car was not pulling normally and he mentioned it to his companion, who replied that he was tired and wanted to sleep. The engine stalled and Paulo had to pull over to the side of the road. That is when he saw the craft about three and a half meters away from him. A beam of red light emanated from it, which apparently caused the car door to open. Several small beings appeared, took Paulo into the craft and laid him on a small table. After tying his arm they lowered an apparatus resembling X-rays from the ceiling. He felt a cut near his elbow. They then showed him three panels, one of which depicted the city of Itaperuna and the other an atomic explosion. Paulo felt numb. Did Elvio see the saucer? No, he only saw a bus. Elvio said that Paulo had become nervous and said that they were being pursued by a saucer. The car had stopped and Elvio had to come to Paulo's aid who had fallen to the ground behind the car. Elvio was unable to explain why the door was open and what had happened to Paulo who was injured on the elbow, nor could he explain why they had taken the bus. (see continuation on December 5, 1971 - also note that on November 15 and 16, 1971 Paulo Caetano had taken photos of the UFO each time) (Jacques VALLEE: "Other Dimensions" - trans.

Geller felt an irresistible attraction towards the light. They left the car and heard a cicada-like electronic noise. Geller remembered asking Puharich and another witness, named Iris, to wait there and he set off towards the pulsating light. As he approached it he felt like he was entering some sort of trance. Everything became completely silent around him and he felt like he had entered some type of "vacuum." The very air had changed quality. He then remembered seeing a strange "building" or UFO having no discernible shape whatsoever. Soon a shapeless dark figure parted from the strange building and approached him, then put something in his hand. Geller felt a sudden feeling of fear and ran back to Andrijah and Iris. Before he reached them he realized what was in his hand: it was the very same pen that had mysteriously vanished from their experiment box. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Andrijah Puharich, Uri Geller; David F.

The light disappeared and then he saw it in a field near the runway. He approached: it was a very intense light blue light. At twenty meters he noticed that it was an oval shape emitting this blinding light. And then he saw the being. He was walking near the thing, he was small, one meter tall or less, bareheaded, wearing a khaki uniform and small boots. They looked at each other fixedly, the being and the witness, who was terrified. Then the creature turned around, raised his arms horizontally and lifted off the ground, he returned to his craft as if he was attracted by a force, from the top, head first. Inside there were at least two other beings, they were looking at the witness without moving. A kind of slide closed with a small sound. The object moved away first slowly and at fifty meters at a lightning speed, disappearing in a second. **Reference:** J. C.

It came "directly toward my boat" and hovered noiselessly overhead at 150 feet. He turned off his light and the object slowly moved off. He had drifted to the shore and with his spotlight he could see in the nearby woods "the darndest looking human-like creature one could ever imagine." Waht he saw was a humanoid creature about five feet tall, with pointed ears, large eyes, and a sharp chin. Next a brilliant white light hit him that paralyzed him until dawn. He noticed an "overpowering stench" in his clothes and hair, and threw away his clothes. Three nights later he smelt the same odor again, and in the morning found a fungus like growth similar to "a cluster of several flesh colored heads looking at me;" he said they "had teeth, big eyes, a wide mouth, and pointed ears," and looked "like the devil looking creature" he saw on Blount Island. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lloyd Brown, The Jacksonville Journal, January 28, 1974; David F.

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. It flew off toward the west. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, April 1972, p. 4 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_827 ### Event 33372 (E81FE531) **Date:** 2/12/1972 **Location:** FRANCE, Saint-Pierreville (Ardèche) **Description:** (Translated from French) We had just crossed the pass and were beginning to descend towards Saint-Pierreville, Bernard Vialle recounts, when we suddenly saw a brilliant light burst from the ravine, along the road, about 300 meters ahead of us. Surprised, and a bit scared, I braked. It took me about 200 meters to stop. We opened the doors, ready to flee, for during those few seconds, a luminous sphere had appeared, rising slowly from the ravine. It seemed to have a diameter of about thirty meters. It seemed to us that it was heading towards us. We ran away, abandoning the car. But we quickly realized that the thing was not pursuing us. At a very low altitude, it had begun to fly over the side of the valley, very slowly, sometimes stopping. It lit up the ground in a radius of 300 meters. A firework light. A bit unreal. It was something wonderful and terrifying at the same time. We were so captivated by the spectacle that we didn't notice the time passing. We suddenly realized that we had been there for more than an hour. We can't stay like this, Jean-Claude said. Tomorrow, when we tell this, we'll be called "lunatics". We got back in the car, but taking the road that follows the opposite slope to the one being flown over by the "thing". When we arrived at the hamlet of Feouzet, we discovered the valley again. The enormous luminous sphere was still there. Fascinated, we watched it again for a long time. Then we rushed to wake up the deputy mayor, Eugène Payot. "When Bernard and Jean-Claude came to wake me up, they were so excited that I had a hard time understanding what they were saying. Nevertheless, I got up and went out to look. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined, this kind of disc hovering, motionless, above the valley. I have no words to describe it. We couldn't take our eyes off it and we fought against sleep to observe it for as long as possible. Around six in the morning, the craft moved away towards the east. Its luminosity gradually weakened, then it disappeared. We parted without daring to talk. Thus, for five hours, the UFO explored the valley, sometimes motionless, sometimes moving very slowly and scanning the ground with its spotlights. And during those five hours, Saint-Pierreville experienced an inexplicable power outage. The gendarmes and the mayor confirmed it to me. A curious outage, since, if the light bulbs refused to turn on, the electric radiators and the clock of the bell tower continued to work. "It was an electromagnetic phenomenon," said a technician.

The basis for seeking an injunction against Marchetti is the secrecy agreement which he signed when beginning employment at CIA. The agency presents the agreement and the parts of the draft article it considers in violation of the agreement, to Judge [Albert Vickers Bryan Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert%5FVickers%5FBryan%5FJr) of the US District Court for Eastern Virginia, who grants a temporary restraining order in April. The case proceeds to trial, at which Bryan finds for the CIA and issues a permanent injunction requiring Marchetti to submit his writings to CIA for review prior to publication. Marchetti appeals the injunction to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which upholds Bryan’s restraint but limits it to classified material. The appeals court also finds that Marchetti is entitled to timely review of materials he submits to the CIA. Marchetti appeals again to the US Supreme Court, but SCOTUS rejects Marchetti’s appeal in December. Marchetti continues work on his book with a coauthor, [John D. Marks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%5FD.%5FMarks)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%5FD.%5FMarks) and signs a book contract with publisher Alfred A. Knopf. In August 1973, they submit their manuscript to the CIA. After reviewing the manuscript, the agency responds with a list of 339 passages that it claims are classified information and demands their deletion. Marchetti and Marks reject the demand and indicate they will go to court to print the manuscript as written. The CIA then withdraws its objections to 171 of the items but stands firm on the remaining 168. The trial is held again before Judge Bryan. This time, however, he rejects all but 26 of the deletions requested by the CIA on the grounds that the information in them is not properly or provably classified. The CIA appeals Bryan’s ruling, and ultimately the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upholds all 168 of the deletions. The book is published by Knopf in 1974 as The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence. It is printed with blanks for deleted passages and boldface type for the 171 deletions that CIA originally requested and later withdrew. It is the first book the federal government of the United States ever goes to court to censor before its publication. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Victor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor%5FMarchetti\#Writing%5Fcareer) [Marchetti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor%5FMarchetti\#Writing%5Fcareer)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4840 ### Event 33387 (283EF21D) **Date:** 3/1/1972 **Time:** 18:30 **Location:** BOUSSOIS, FR **Description:** 4 observer(s). 2M luminous ball spins near factory.

Wilhelm) The witness was driving around 1am on Riverside Road towards Loveland. There was ice on the road and he was driving very slowly. He then saw what he thought was a dog on the side of the road. He had to maneuver to avoid it. As he stopped, the animal immediately stood up and in the headlights looked towards the driver, then jumping over the guardrail.

It came from behind a hedgerow to her left and sailed down to road level, no more than 12 yards in front of her car, before lifting and careering over another hedgerow and out of sight. Startled, she did not stop to investigate but continued driving on. No sooner had her dazed vision become re-accustomed to the road when she saw a tall male figure all in white clothing walking towards her on the far side of the road. He was a few hundred yards ahead of her and was loping along quickly . She noted little about his facial features or coloring, but he was of giant stature. She pressed hard on the accelerator and saw the tall figure striding along through deep pools of water alongside the road. She drove home badly frightened. She went to bed but at about 5 a.m. she was awakened by a sharp rapping on her front door. She heard a voice clearly and insistently calling. She got up, went to the front door and opened it but saw no one there. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

These are security protocols that provide highly classified information with safeguards and access restrictions that exceed those for regular \(collateral\) classified information. SAPs can range from black projects to routine but especially sensitive operations, such as COMSEC maintenance or Presidential transportation support. In addition to collateral controls, an SAP may impose more stringent investigative or adjudicative requirements, specialized nondisclosure agreements, special terminology or markings, exclusion from standard contract investigations \(carve-outs\), and centralized billet systems. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Special access program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special%5Faccess%5Fprogram)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4841 ### Event 33399 (04DF6964) **Date:** 3/10/1972 **Location:** FRANCE, Civières, hamlet of Aubigny **Description:** (Translated from French) Daniel Laurets (Loretz?), a fireman lieutenant, saw at 9:25 PM through the windshield, to the right of the road, something descending towards the ground and landing very quickly. He braked. He estimated that the object was 200m away from him. At the moment of the landing, a kind of small red ball covering the UFO went out. At the front, two elliptical openings were diffusing a pale light obliquely towards the ground, which was lit. At the back, a weak red glow was lighting the plowed field. Thirty seconds after the landing, the lights went out and in the now black night, nothing was visible anymore. He had a hard time making the engine of the new R6 work properly and it coughed for several hundred meters before running normally. (1972, 10th March) **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L.

The witness took his gun and fired, but missed. The description of the creature matched that given fifteen days earlier. This witness went to the police station to report it. **Reference:** following 19 March 1972 **Reference:** From the files of Ron Schaffner **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2666 ### Event 33417 (4E634237) **Date:** 3/17/1972 **Description:** On this night in Loveland, Ohio police officer Johnson's headlights picked up an animal lying on the road. As he opened his car door it rose up on its hind legs and showed itself to be a leathery skinned biped with a frog like face. It was three to four feet tall, like the creature seen by Officer Williams two weeks before. It stepped over the guardrail and went down the embankment of the river. Officer Johnson took out his service revolver and fired a shot at it, but missed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The light came from an object stabilized at 35 m high. The light was so dazzling that Mr. Sessière had to stop abruptly. It looked like an electric arc as reflected by rotating mirrors. The object did not appear to be metallic, its diameter could be 10 m. After two minutes it pivoted into a horizontal position, started, stopped 100 m further on to take up its vertical position and disappeared at great speed describing a yellow-pink-red "S" in the direction of Charvieu. The "S" disappeared after a quarter of an hour. Physical effects on the watch and on the car. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." ed.

He sees that the thing is descending into a vacant lot and, thinking it is a hot air balloon, runs towards it. When he reaches the lot, he sees the thing is a kind of luminous sphere giving off a blue light like that of a welding torch. Mario now becomes frightened and runs to call his mother. As he goes in the house, two neighbors, Zacarian Mendoza and Manuela Carlotta de Mendoza, also see the object. When Mario comes out again accompanied by his mother Josefina, the object, which has been on the ground for 7 minutes, begins to rise up, producing a hum and casting off more blue sparks. Gradually the light and sound are lost in the sky. The next day, Mario goes to the site and finds four deep tracks, about 8 inches deep, separated exactly from each other in the form of a square of 8.2 feet. At an equidistant point in the center of the tracks there is a black burnt mark on the ground. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Ted Phillips, “Landing Traces: Physical Evidence for the UFO,” in MUFON Symposium 1973, Midwest UFO Network, 1973, p. 26 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4843 ### Event 33430 (C2FE9D18) **Date:** 3/19/1972 **Description:** In 1972 at 10 p.m. in Acuescoma, Mexico at least four people saw a glowing blue sphere land.

Looking out, he saw a blinding white light surrounded by a fog, and thought that his car was on fire. He ran out, started his car, and began to move it. His next recollection was that he found himself in a deserted moorland, and he stopped his car. Next, a "human like figure" ran past the car from the rear and then "suddenly...vanished." He got out of the car and saw a lens-shaped object on the ground to his left, about 100 feet wide, surrounded by a greenish glow. The green light came from windows in the craft, and three beams shining upward from it. In one of the windows he could see a human-like being. He approached on foot to within 10-12 feet, and he saw this figure motion to him to go back. The figure was between five foot and five foot four inches tall, and wore a tight fitting metallic looking coverall that had a belt with a tube that ran to his collar. He had almond shaped eyes and seemed to be smiling. Behind him was some sort of instrument panel. Several other humanoid beings were seen standing behind other windows. Then the object then "jumped" from the ground, floated for 30 feet, and then "hurled away" with a scraping noise to the wouthwest. Traces were later found at the landing site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, August 1976, p. 6; G.

Worried, they started to examine the engines and then heard a buzzing coming from the north. It was an object of 10 to 15 m in diameter moving quickly in a straight oblique line towards the lake and slowly submerging into it. It was a silver-blue disc surrounded by an orange halo and when it submerged, the water of the lake turned orange at the point of impact. The engines of the cars could be restarted 2 to 3 minutes after this phenomenon.

It was around 10 pm. In a bend near a wood, he saw on the right a light seeming to come from a clearing near the road. When he got close, he was astonished to see a very large disc-shaped object with a dome on top, apparently resting on four legs. Panicked, the witness tried to drive away and noticed that the headlights were off and the car wouldn't start. He stayed there for 45 minutes. A progressive paralysis spread through his limbs and voice. At the end of his forced wait, in absolute silence, he saw a tiny, blackish figure, thin, 1m tall, jump out of the wood bordering the clearing, jump onto the edge of the disc, then jump again and disappear into the dome. Immediately the craft took off in a pendular ascent, stopping for a few seconds between 50 and 90 meters. Then, in a beam of light, it headed towards Marans, the marshes of Brie and St Michel to the north. Mr. X saw his headlights come back on but was still shocked. He was dazed, crying at the wheel of his car, unable to move. It was 10:50 pm, when Mr. G.'s (Mr. X's neighbor) magnetic detector went off, emitting a discontinuous sound. Mr. G., interested in UFOs, took his car and found Mr. X, half-unconscious. It was only the next day that he could tell his story and remember. However, he was left with partial amnesia, not remembering the events of 6 months ago. His memory returned several weeks later. There were numerous traces, including a cow in the meadow near the wood from which the humanoid had emerged: the farmer found it dead, marked with three neat holes in the middle of its forehead between the eyes. **Reference:** M.

"Having reached the top of a small hill (...) I saw lights that went out in front of me. (...) I continued to walk with my head down and it was after a while, when I looked up, that I saw with astonishment a kind of "machine" in the shape of a spinning top, difficult to describe. I am sure I heard something moving inside. At the same time I realized that I was no longer able to move, I was like frozen in place. A whole panel of the half of the machine in front of me opened (noise) and out of it came an extremely strange object, a kind of double triangle (thickness) attached at the base and which stayed close to the "machine" at the level of a kind of raised hem that separated the machine in the middle. It was like a kind of transmitter device that transmitted this to me: "Don't talk too much, for you too will no longer speak". The voice was hard, hoarse, separating the words (I heard it in my head and maybe not elsewhere...) The speaking thing was spinning while staying close to the central bulge of the machine and the background noise seemed like a kind of buzzing: bzz... bzz..." The witness's surprise came mainly from the fact that he was immobilized for half an hour while normally it only takes five minutes to go from the neighbor's house to his own. He arrived home at 11:35 PM. (...) **Reference:** Jean FERGUSON: "Les Humanoïdes..." - ed.

Allen Hynek writes that **Blue Book** was a “cover up” and that the UAP problem was “glossed over.” Hynek said he felt his hands were tied, and if he complained, the USAF and Pentagon would pull his access to case files as retribution. Hynek also writes he suspected **Blue Book** was a “front” for a more classified investigation, stating he was told to drop one case and told by higher-ups “not to pursue the matter further.” This is significant because for decades the USAF used **Blue Book’s** conclusions to debunk UAP to the American public and Congressional inquiries. * [https://archive.org/details/ufoexperience00jall/page/206/mode/2up](https://archive.org/details/ufoexperience00jall/page/206/mode/2up) (p207) * [https://archive.org/details/ufoexperience00jall/page/208/mode/2up](https://archive.org/details/ufoexperience00jall/page/208/mode/2up) (p208) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_136 ### Event 33492 (594FDDD2) **Date:** 5/2/1972 **Time:** 23:00 **Location:** SALISBURY, MD **Description:** 2 observer(s).

Lestin and his wife were driving to a motel near Salisbury, Maryland at around 11 p.m. when they saw a luminous disc settle to the ground 100 yards away. Mr. Lestin got out of the car and walked to within 50 feet of the object. He described seeing a round object sitting on tripod landing gear. Moving about underneath it were two four-foot humanoids, resembling human beings but with long arms that dangled to the ground. They were "apparently covered with a glazed coat of grayish material" and wore helmets. As he watched, a door opened and a ramp descended; the two humanoids re-boarded and the object rose up into the air with a blinding red light. The entire incident had lasted more than five minutes. Mr. Lestin was terrified by his experience and had to be sedated when he arrived at his destination. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He did so, and encountered a 4 foot, 8 inch tall young woman with blond hair, wearing a yellow pantsuit that seemed to glow, and silver colored shoes. She carried a silvery ball by a handle, and it had three antennae like projections on it. She told him that her people had come from "the other side of the Milky Way" and that three different kinds of humanoids, ranging from very small to very tall, had visited Imjarvi. She also told him that she was 180 years old, and instructed him not to mention the contact to anyone else. Heinonen previously had a dramatic close encounter with a friend while out cross-country skiing in January 1970. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It was saucer shaped with a dome on top, and along side of it on the left was a very tall person dressed in an outfit that glowed the same as the ship. Another similar figure was walking towards the road (the craft was about 30 meters away from a fence line, which was 5 meters from the road). A third figure was standing on the right side of the object near a dead tree. All three had on the same clothing with helmets with black visors. She described the aliens as being very tall, approximate eight feet in height. As the car drove she noticed that they seemed to be collecting items from the ground. She also noticed that the one walking towards the road seemed to have turned his helmet and look at their vehicle as it drove off. The witness never told anyone else in the car what she had seen. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, June 1972 webpage **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3204 ### Event 33524 (37456970) **Date:** 6/2/1972 **Time:** 23:30 **Location:** LE DESCHAUX, FR **Description:** 4 separate observer(s).

He is brought by [Harold E. Puthoff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold%5FE.%5FPuthoff) and other scientists to a building where, several floors below, is a heavily shielded magnetometer whose sole function is to measure quarks. One scientist asks him to “perturb” the device. As Swann sits there trying to visualize the magnetometer, a scientist monitoring it tells the group that the needle is moving wildly and malfunctioning. The scene is repeated several more times, each time when Swann is imagining the device. Puthoff is intrigued. He writes up his findings and a few weeks later he is visited by two CIA intelligence analysts who want Puthoff and SRI to investigate remote viewing for espionage purposes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Ingo Swann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingo%5FSwann\#Magnetometer%5Fpsychokinesis%5Ftests)”; Jim Schnabel, [Remote](https://archive.org/details/remoteviewerssec00schn) [Viewers: The Secret History of America’s Psychic Spies](https://archive.org/details/remoteviewerssec00schn)[,](https://archive.org/details/remoteviewerssec00schn) Dell, 1997; Annie Jacobsen, Phenomena: The Secret History of the U.S. Government’s Investigations into Extrasensory Perception and Psychokinesis, Little, Brown, 2017, pp. 130–136; Edwin C.

Bernie Smit fired several shots at the object, with no result. An hour later, the alerted police arrived and they then saw a black sphere fleeing behind the trees at their approach. They fired at the ball. It then became gray-white, frolicking above the trees, with a loud noise of air stirring. (Janet and Colin BORD: "Modern Mysteries of the World" - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 350, 351, placing this on June 20th) June 26, 1972 - Port Beaufort, Farmer de Klerk was watering his cattle in a meadow. Suddenly he saw a plume of smoke in the clear and cloudless sky. The smoke quickly headed towards him and exploded into a roaring fireball. Terrified, de Klerk dropped his bucket and ran to fetch the boss, Bernie Smit. Mustering a group of workers, Smit returned to the scene to find the fireball hovering above the meadow. As the men climbed the fence, the fireball fled and rose up.

The Musson, a Russian scientific ship, is in the North Atlantic roughly 300 miles from Bermuda. The electrician, radio operator, and one of the navigators see an elliptical object moving slowly through the cloudless sky at high altitude from north to south. It changes shape to a wheel and then to an elongated, silvery-white ellipse, then it disappears from view. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Stonehill and Mantle, Russia’s USO Secrets, Flying Disk, 2020, p. 60 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4848 ### Event 33552 (7460C0A8) **Date:** 6/22/1972 **Location:** SPAIN, Logrono (Old Castille) **Description:** (Translated from French) Javier Bosque, preparing a degree in theology and philosophy, lies down on the bed to read "Don Quixote" and turns on the radio at the lowest volume. At a late hour of the night, he does not hear due to this a crackling of background noise: around two o'clock in the morning he is still reading. Suddenly it seems to him that the light increases in intensity. He puts down his book and looking towards the window he sees a strong luminosity through the slits of the slightly open window. His curiosity turns to fear when he realizes that the window is opening slowly, allowing passage to a luminous object that comes towards the center of the room. It moves slowly, two meters from the ground, without noise. The light hurts the eyes and Javier has taken refuge under the covers, eyes half-closed. The object rises, descends to 40 cm from the ground, stops. Since this thing is in his room the transistor emits strangely high-pitched whistles. He sticks out his arm from the covers and turns on the recorder. The device descends even lower, begins an exploration with a laser-like beam of 5 cm in diameter, from the radio to the recorder. Once this beam is completely retracted the device rises to 2 m, after a few seconds of immobility, flies towards the window and disappears. When no more whistling was audible he stopped the recorder and went to the window: deserted street and partially cloudy sky. The recording has been the subject of several studies.

To his surprise, the window begins opening by itself and a 2-foot-long, football-shaped, metallic, luminous object enters his room and approaches the foot of his bed. His radio begins to emit a loud, continuous sound. He reaches over and turns on a cassette tape recorder. The object descends from about 6 feet above the floor to 15 inches above it. A beam of solid light extends from the object, touching the radio twice, retracts, then touches the cassette recorder. Bosque grabs the recorder and holds the microphone in his lap. The object ascends to about 6 feet above the floor and moves out the window and up. The radio sound weakens. The 8-minute sound recording is analyzed by laboratories in Spain, Brazil, France, and the US. It contains some pure tones at first, followed by modulations in amplitude. Robert H. Coddington finds, after an analysis of the tape, that it most likely is a recording of the chance reception of an ordinary test transmission from a terrestrial broadcast station and does not match Bosque’s narrative. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Albert Adell and Pere Redón, “[UFO Enters and](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201973%20V%2019%20N%202.pdf) [Inspects a Room,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201973%20V%2019%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 19, no. 2 \(March/April 1973\): 10–13, iii; “[Bosque Spanish UFO Tapes](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1980%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV1.pdf) [Deemed Non-Startling,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1980%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV1.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 1, no. 8 \(December 1980\): 4; Willy Smith, “A Bizarre Event at Logroño: A Taped UFO Sound,” IUR 7, no. 4 \(July/Aug. 1982\): 8–10; “[Logroño \(Spain\) Tape Recording](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1983-84%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV4.pdf) [Explained,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1983-84%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV4.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 4, no. 2 \(April/May 1983\): 5–7; Robert H.

The witnesses ran towards the object and saw that it was round, dark underneath, and shiny on top. It looked like an enlarged bladder. It moved without making any noise. Before accelerating southwards, it dropped a rain of shiny paper leaves, which the children wanted to catch, but suddenly they rose towards the craft, as if sucked up by it. Traces.

Its color changes to bright green and then to whitish yellow, with flames shooting out. Smit dashes home, grabs a rifle, and calls the police. He shoots at the object, but the bullets have little effect. At 10:30 a.m., police sergeant Piet C. Kitching and warrant officer P. R. van Rensburg arrive at the spot where the UFO is still hovering. As the object moves away, Smit fires at it an eighth time; this time he hears a thud, and the object moves up and down and stops changing colors. Smit and Kitchin fire at it some more, after which it disappears and reappears about 60 feet away looking gunmetal gray in color and somewhat oval-shaped. After they fire two final shots, the object moves away through the trees around noon. The next day, van Rensburg leads a team of police officers to the site, looking for evidence. They find nine circular imprints of its supposed landing gear found in damp clay soil. On June 28, Brig. A. Vosloo, divisional commander of police for the Eastern Cape, takes soil samples and plaster casts of the imprints. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[UFO Sightings in South Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO%5Fsightings%5Fin%5FSouth%5FAfrica\#1970s%5Fsighting)”; Charles Bowen, “[A Hot Reception at Fort Beaufort,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-CH%201972%20N%2011.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, no. 11 \(August 1972\): 1–7; Philipp Human, “[Fort Beaufort Tailpiece,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-CH%201972%20N%2011.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, no. 11 \(August 1972\): 7; Clark III 510–511 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4853 ### Event 33568 (525E3971) **Date:** 6/26/1972 **Description:** At 8 o'clock in the morning some native farm laborers came running to farmer Bennie Smith, the owner of the Braeside farm, near Fort Beaufort, South Africa. They thought they saw a fire in the thick bush land. Thinking it might be poachers on his land, Mr. Smith went to the spot with his .303 rifle. Hovering partially behind some brush 200 yards away was a glowing egg-shaped UFO. He went and called the police, and at 9:00 a.m. Sergeant P. Kitching and Warrant Officer P. van Rensburg arrived at the site. The color of the object was a gun metal blue but after they watched it for a while it started to glow red all over. They were sure it was under some form of intelligent control because when the farm laborers shouted from the bush the object moved down out of sight of the witnesses.

They decided to shoot at it with the rifle. Fifteen rounds were fired. They heard a thud from the seventh shot. The UFO changed color from a red glow to a green glow and then to yellow, and rocked from side to side. They watched it for another hour before the police had to leave the area. Mr. Smith stayed to see it leave a short while later. It turned on end and climbed rapidly into the sky, making a humming sound. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ivan Clark, The Fort Beaufort police officers: An interview, FSR, September-October 1972, p. 9 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3677 ### Event 33569 (D35B822E) **Date:** 6/28/1972 **Location:** 37.0000 -116.0000 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

A few moments later they saw to the left of the road, 50 meters away, a row of rectangular lights which they took to be those of a stopped train: 2 meters high and 70 cm wide, separated by dark posts 50 cm wide, emitting an orange light. As they talked between themselves, they suddenly realized they were in a town they estimated to be Rio Primero, which they found strange since they should have gone through towns like Transito and Santiago Temple. They were back home at exactly 3:30 AM, having covered the 185 km in only one hour! The car had only consumed 12.5 liters of gasoline! Then the driver remembered, but two days later, that at a certain moment, after the flash, he had been surprised by the abnormal smoothness of the car's driving, as if it were swaying gently. There were physiological consequences. **Reference:** Inforespace #11 - pp. 33-36 - 1973 - SOBEPS **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2681 ### Event 33636 (9BBC01B6) **Date:** 7/15/1972 **Time:** 03:20 **Location:** FEIGNIES, FR **Description:** Observer(s) wakened / car noise.

They thought it was a broken down truck parked outside the road. Around 5:00am Giordano went out with the tractor intending to move this "truck". But.. it was a rectangular object 6 or 7m long and 1.50m high with a curved top part bringing the total height to 3.5m according to his estimation. On the wide side, in the curved part, there were two rows of four round, nickel or silver-colored portholes, about 40cm in diameter, and a tube or curved antenna coming out of the narrow side and pointing towards the ground.

Upon being noticed the figure dodged out of sight behind the side of the barn. Stephen looked through binoculars to see if the being would pass the line of trees leading back down the road to the gate, but saw nothing. They searched the copse but found no one. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

With Swann in a Faraday cage, the SRI team conducts a series of what’s-in-the-box tests in which office supplies hidden inside a box are presented to Swann, who is asked to identify the objects inside. During a lunch break one of the CIA agents walks outside and collects a small brown moth, capturing it alive, and sealing it inside a box. When Swann looks at the box, he sees “something small, brown, and irregular, sort of like a leaf…. Except that it seems very much alive, like it’s even moving.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Annie Jacobsen, Phenomena, Little, Brown, 2017, p. 136 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4862 ### Event 33702 (64040E93) **Date:** 8/1972 **Locations:** Södertälje, Sweden; Norrköping **Description:** The Archives for UFO Research \(Arbetsgruppen för Ufologi\) is founded in Södertälje, Sweden, by [Håkan](https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/) [Blomqvist](https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/)[,](https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/) [Kjell Jonsson](https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-man-who-created-afu.html)[,](https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-man-who-created-afu.html) and [Anders Liljegren](http://www.afu.se/afu2/?page%5Fid=223)[.](http://www.afu.se/afu2/?page%5Fid=223) Its specialized research library for UFO literature is established in 1974, and in 1979 AFU moves to Norrköping.

People travel to the small town of Adjuntas, where the objects are seen frequently. One Friday night, the mayor of Adjuntas is traveling with a group of people in three cars along a lonely stretch of road in Barrio Garzas when he sees three bright discs moving through the sky. Their light changes in color and intensity. Sightings also center on the town of Utuado, where the Air National Guard has scrambled F-104s to chase the objects. A teacher at Utuado High School is driving back from town with his brother when they see a bright light off in the bush 300 feet from the road. They get out of the car and approach the light, which is sitting in a clearing. It is a flattened disc about the size of a small house and has a set of small, dark rectangles evenly spaced around its edge. It is brilliantly lit and its colors are constantly changing. They watch the object for a few minutes until it vanishes like “someone turning off a light.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Salvador Freixedo, “[UFOs over the Caribbean,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-CH%201973%20N%2014.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, no. 14 \(April 1973\): 9–10; Henry Cordova, “Encounter in Puerto Rico,” IUR 25, no. 1 \(Spring 2000\): 20–21 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4867 ### Event 33704 (EE40EF5E) **Date:** 8/1/1972 **Time:** 02:00 **Location:** LEBANON, IN **Description:** 2 observer(s).

Shortly later they heard heavy footsteps of someone approaching through the trees. Frightened, they ran to their car and began to drive away when a giant creature resembling an octopus with large tentacles appeared, apparently trying to grab them. The three men got out of the car and struggled with the creature, but soon got back into the car and drove away, stopping at a field outside the forest. They then went back, but the creature had disappeared by then. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

She saw a very bright illuminated shape the size of a Fiat Isotta in the hills when she heard footsteps behind her, like those of a child. She turned around and saw at 3 or 4 meters a shape facing her. This shape was 1.20m tall, absolutely black. The body was parallelepiped-shaped. It seemed to her that the shape was made of wood 30 to 40 cm thick, topped with an ovoid shape in place of the head. Two white circles of 5 cm placed in place of the eyes were the only thing that stood out from this motionless mass, whose bottom was hidden in the tall grass. The witness felt a morbid impression as if the shape wanted to neutralize her, and she jumped into the tent to join her husband. He did not have the courage to come out and closed the tent from the inside. **Reference:** J.C.

The woman is walking outside and sees a shiny white ball the size of a small car sitting in a nearby parking lot. She hears footsteps behind her and sees a dark shape about 4 feet tall in the shape of a parallelepiped topped by an oval where a head would be. It has 2 white circles for eyes, but no visible arms or legs. It turns toward her and she feels an extraordinary fear. After a few seconds, she runs back inside the tent. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Patrick Gross, “[Saint-Jean-du-Gard, France, August 9, 1972](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/stjeandugard72.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4864 ### Event 33730 (F8F54020) **Date:** 8/9/1972 **Description:** A woman teacher was camping out in the yard of a friend's house in Saint Jean Du Gard, France and had gone out for a walk at 2:30 a.m. when she noticed a white spherical light that appeared to be in a nearby field. As she stood there watching, she heard footsteps behind her that sounded like someone walking on the dry grass. When she turned around, she was confronted by a five-foot tall, robot-like being that was completely black. Its head was egg-shaped and it had two round white discs for eyes. The witness felt an unbelievable level of fear and had the feeling that the being possessed extraordinary powers; it could in fact control "nature itself." She blacked out and when she recovered found herself back in her tent with her husband. That same morning a truck driver named Marcilio was forced to stop his vehicle in the pre-dawn hours on the Amaral Peixoto Highway in Brazil when the road was blocked by a UFO sitting on the road with yellow and blue flashing lights. It took off rapidly. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) Albert S.

Renata Faa is the first to see a star-like object come out of the sky in the west. It lands on the ground on a ridge facing them. Eventually, after more yellow lights appear on the object, they see it as cigar-shaped and about 100 feet long. Five other white lights emit luminous beams that extend progressively across the ground. Two cupolas are visible on its left side. Three small white discs appear on the right side, apparently emerging from the main object, and perform complex maneuvers. Some of the witnesses feel a tingling in their fingertips and knees. Faa and three of the other witnesses decide to walk through the fields and approach the object. Around 3:00 a.m., a multitude of red particles appear in the air around the approaching witnesses and in the ground around them. The lights on the object constantly change their patterns of display and movement. The four witnesses see a dark mass like a haystack on their left about 30 feet away. A small red light is moving haphazardly around it. When one of them shines a flashlight on the haystack, the beam travels horizontally for a bit then is directed perpendicularly upward. Finally, toward 5:00 a.m., the large object rises up and moves off to the south, following the terrain. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** J.

Next they noticed that all ordinary daytime sounds had eerily ceased, creating a "stifling" silence. About 50 yards away from them Alvarez saw two strange, eight-foot tall figures, dressed in bright silvery clothing resembling fish scales. When they got closer the two men could see that the beings were unusually broad shouldered and slender. They had round heads that were bright silver in color, with two round bumps in place of eyes, small ears, no visible mouths or noses, hands with four digits, and large webbed feet like those of ducks. They "seemed to float in air" while walking. The beings started to approach the witnesses, but just then a woman carrying a milk can came around the corner of the house, and the two creatures "flew" toward her. A great deal of dust arose from the ground; the two entitiesvanished into it and were not seen again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, November-December 1973, p. 5; FSR, November 1973, p. 30; David F.

"There was a bright light shining from his chest which went pink and blue," Mrs. Muthwa said. She estimated that the figure was more than 11 feet tall. She felt an electric shock in his presence, and added, "He must have been emitting some kind of electricity, because it felt just like when I touch the [electric] iron and my body goes all jerky." Suddenly, the giant apparition shot into the sky and disappeared. The woman and her daughter ran from the spot, spilling the water in their flight. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Philipp J.

He followed it to where he saw a disc-shaped craft descend and hover close to the ground. A door opened in the craft, and an angled plank slid down from it from the doorway to the ground. Several slim humanoid figures wearing coveralls began to exit the craft. The witness crept up to it and suddenly the outer rim slid aside, following the curve of the craft, exposing transparent cylinders, which looked to be incubators with infants inside them. As the witness stared at them in disbelief, one of them opened its eyes and smiled at him, and he smiled back, then a look of distress came upon its face as if it appeared to be having trouble breathing. The man proceeded to pound on the glass, trying to break it open, and then picked up a rock intending to smash it open, but he abruptly felt himself being lifted up, from his two sides, away from the craft. He believes that the aliens knew he had been trying to help, and were glad that the noise he created alerted them to the apparent problem with the incubated hybrid. His memory ends at this point with an ensuing period of missing time. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

His chin was much longer than normal. To Dedeu's remarks the stranger made unintelligible replies. After several miles, his car's lights went out and Dedeu was obliged to stop. Ahead of him on the road was what he first took to be an overturned bus, with a large blue light in the middle and smaller white lights on the sides.

The driver accelerated, slowed down several times: the object remained above the roof of the car. At a crossroads Mc Farlan stopped and turned off the headlights. The object was still there.

Wanting to leave, the motorist found that the engine was stopped. He was trembling like a leaf and the next day he was still white as a sheet: he thought his last hour had come. **Reference:** Inforespace n° 11 - p. 31, 32 - 1973 - SOBEPS **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2690 ### Event 33869 (D7FAB4A2) **Date:** 9/20/1972 **Time:** 00:50 **Location:** MT.

It climbs to the top of the hill and settles in for 4 minutes. He watches it increasingly brighten from a row of windows at the upper dome and glow pink on the bottom side. He flashes his lights at it, and it rises and dives at his car, passing just 30 feet above it. The engine stalls, the radio goes off, and the headlights dim. A wave of heat passes over him, then the UFO races away. \( **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Yurko Bondarchuk, UFO Sightings, Landings, and Abductions, Methuen, 1979, pp. 144–146; Michael D.

At 05:40 Merlo headed towards the changing rooms (of which he was the guardian). At 01:40 he had closed the access doors and he had to open them for the maintenance personnel who would arrive around 06:00. He opened the first door and switched on the light, then opened the second door and placed soap and towels near the first sinks. At that moment he noticed that the light on his left was off and that a person was sitting on one of the small sinks. He was surprised. Immediately a second lamp burst with a sharp noise, while the one that was off lit up and he noticed at the same time that the seated figure had disappeared. Merlo quickly stepped back, but he could not find any trace of him. He checked everything up to the inside of the metal cabinets: there was nothing. He did not dare tell anyone about his experience for fear of being accused of negligence. In the evening, at 21:10, taking the bus to return to his night shift at the factory, sitting on the 3rd row he suddenly saw in the rearview mirror the face of the figure observed in the morning. After 3 minutes the image faded and he then saw the scenes inside the bus. Around 22:30 he started work, but disturbed by the events he had experienced, he decided to confide in Romero, head of the factory protection department. The whole affair was kept secret. The witness suffered for 3 days from an irritation of the eyes and there were strange incidents with the lights in the changing rooms and with the witness's watch. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "From S.V. to UFOs" - SOBEPS 1976 - p. 174 - 177 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2691 ### Event 33874 (E0CC00E0) **Date:** 9/21/1972 **Time:** 05:40 **Location:** SANTA ISABEL, ARG **Description:** Pseudo-human/entity / batman suit / factory.

The being's complexion was very pallid, and he had a bald head with high, pointed ears. The giant wore a very tight-fitting, dark blue one-piece garment. He noticed the uniform was glove-tight at the wrists, and that the being held his right forefinger below his nose. The figure suddenly vanished unaccountably from the washroom, in which the temperature was abnormally high. Lights in the building went on and off by themselves. Sr. Merlo later suffered eye irritation, repeated headaches, and back pain in his lumbar region for eight days. The witness reported that he again saw the face of the entity in a mirror on the bus the next day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Oscar A.

The man wore no gloves, and had a sort of watch on his wrist. The man identified himself as Freddy Miller, a well-known Dominican baseball player who had disappeared mysteriously more than 13 years ago on May 5, 1959. He said that a UFO had rescued him from drowning in a boating accident, when two of his companions drowned, "because of my knowledge of radio technology and my intelligence." Nearby were two slender men seven feet tall. They were dressed like Miller. They had complexions like Orientals and short, chestnut colored hair. Miller pointed out to Gomez the craft in which they had arrived: it was football shaped, the size of an automobile, with a bright "nickel plated" surface. The conversation continued for about five minutes, during which Miller told Gomez that the humanoids were "supposedly from Venus." Then Gomez was told to leave, because theywere departing, and not to worry if his car wouldn't function, because it would return to normal spontaneously. As he drove away Gomez saw the three men approach and get into the UFO. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Leonte N.

Around 10:30 PM, the young Moreno deposited documents on the table in the Engineering Office, without turning on the lights, as per routine. Immediately the lights turned on and off, three times in a row. After that he heard a sound like a turbine, quite unusual for the area. He was scared and quickly got on his motorcycle to head towards the depot, 200 meters away. At 11:13 PM he made the return trip when he saw, quite far to his right, a kind of rainbow near the ground. Suddenly, at a distance of 100 meters to the right of the path and 10 meters from the sidewalk, a bluish-green figure was moving slowly. When he was 30 meters away from the being, it turned around. The exhaust pipe of Moreno's motorcycle produced a discharge, the machine was shaken, the engine slowed down. His motorcycle eventually stopped inexplicably, facing the being. It was 230 to 240 cm tall, athletic, angular face, whitish or light green, no hair, pointed ears, bright and round eyes. No eyelids, no eyelashes or eyebrows, straight mouth. This lasted about 30 seconds before the motorcycle started again towards the left, made a sudden jump before starting to obey the witness. The factory's stop work siren sounded, it was 11:30 PM but the witness's watch had stopped at 11:13 PM. He informed the guards of the events. The next day, around 10:30 PM, looking out the window he saw the same being outside, in a deserted corner.

He enters a previously locked washroom and sees a man sitting on one of the basins who is nearly 8 feet tall and wearing a close-fitting, dark-blue, one-piece garment tight at the wrists. It has a bald head with high, pointed ears, and very white skin. As Merlo approaches, the light by the janitor goes out and a light near the entity goes on spontaneously. Merlo hears a noise like “a metal object striking glass,” and the entity disappears. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Oscar A.

There was an accompanying noise like that of a turbine lasting for several seconds. Driving his motor runabout outside the plant he briefly glimpsed "a sort of rainbow very near the ground," but thought no further of it until he suddenly encountered a tall figure, glowing a bluish green, moving among a pile of chassis beside his route. As he approached within 30 meters the figure swung around, in a stiff mechanical way, to face him, and at the same time his engine faltered then quit when he came opposite the being.

This humanoid figure, strongly built and about 7.5 feet tall, had eyes like yellow light bulbs, large pointed ears, a square chin, and a slit-like mouth. The face appeared pale green, but this may have been do to a reflection from the clothing, a one-piece luminescent bluish-green tight fitting coverall with a broad silvery belt. Moreno felt an intolerable humming in his ears, a sensation of heat, and itching over his entire body. There was also the smell of burning oil. His arms and legs were paralyzed. After 30 seconds of this confrontation, his motorcycle shot off to the left seemingly under its own volition at high speed, and the witness was returned to the Security Office without his conscious control. He arrived there at 11:30 p.m., but his wristwatch had stopped at 11:13 p.m., leaving 15 minutes unaccounted for. Moreno was in a highly agitated state, and subsequently suffered nausea and pains in the neck, as well as a burning sensation in his eyes. At the encounter site two rectangular "footprints" 8 inches x 16 inches were found and the soil there was warm to the touch. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Oscar A.

It did so by means of a solid beam of blue light. It somehow levitated or took the being up through the tube of light and into the UFO. Others saw a luminous object rising up into the sky from the vicinity of the auto plant. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Oscar A Galindez, FSR, November 1975, p. 21 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6382 ### Event 33897 (F8675B81) **Date:** 9/28/1972 **Location:** ARGENTINA, Santa Isabel **Description:** (Translated from French) At around 03:40, truck driver Rodriguez arrived at the IKA-Renault factory to unload some sheet metal. This he did. He was about to back up when he saw the air light up. Someone came from behind, walking along the right side of the truck. Through the window, Rodriguez saw the tall figure from the side, but not the head. When the figure arrived at the front right of the truck, the witness saw it through the windshield. The figure pivoted on itself and stared at Rodriguez, then made the same movement in reverse and continued walking. Its movements were those of a robot. As it moved away from the truck, the being crossed the road diagonally, heading left into an alley where it disappeared behind the metal frames placed there. **Reference:** Inforespace n° 19, p. 36 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2694 ### Event 33898 (A9069DA1) **Date:** 9/28/1972 **Time:** 00:10 **Location:** VALEA-PLOPULUI, ROM **Description:** Saucer lands / cornfield.

He was driving a 1957 Dodge dumptruck. Having unloaded his cargo, he was just starting off when he noticed the whole area light up. He heard someone approaching from behind, and when he looked out the right window he saw, in profile, the torso of a very tall figure pass close by. Only when he could see this figure through the windshield could Rodriguez see its head. At that point the being stopped, did a right about turn stiffly, and looked straight at him. He did another right turn, and walked slowly and awkwardly ahead, finally crossing diagonally to the left and disappearing behind some pallets. He had been in view from 60 to 90 seconds. The entity was dressed in a tight one-piece coverall of luminescent blue-green color, identical to the one seen by Moreno four hours earlier. He was over 2.5 meters tall and his head was bald, with the skull flattened at the rear. He hadlong, narrow pointed ears. His eyes were numerous circles with no eyelids or eyebrows. The nose was straight and the mouth rudimentary. His complexion was very white. Legs and arms were extremely long, and he did not bend his legs as he walked. In his left hand he held a small white sphere the size of a billiard ball. He had on a wide silver belt and large, square silver boots.

A number of physical effects occurred simultaneous with the being's appearance: the truck's engine and lights died, and these effects lasted until it was 25-30 meters distant. Rodriguez was immobilized in his seat. Although he could follow the movement of the figure with his eyes, he could not move either his arms or legs. He heard a humming noise, similar to bees, while the figure was in view. He sat there for several minutes after the figure vanished, not knowing what to do. Finally, some other workers approached to ask what was wrong and he told them what he'd seen. A search disclosed no sign of the intruder, nor where there any traces. Subsequent inquiries disclosed there were a number of independent UFO observations in the area during the evening of September 27-28. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Oscar A Uriondo, p. 32; Oscar A.

Upon their arrival at the site they opened the locked security fence surrounding it and entered the compound. Once inside, they began their systems check of the equipment. At around 2:00 p.m. Briggs heard a high-pitched engine sound coming from outside the building, so he went out to investigate. Once outside he observed a saucer-shaped object directly over the building. He then watched the object land just south of the compound. Startled, Briggs entered the building and summoned Hillsgeck. Back outside both men observed two "creatures" walking towards the fence. Briggs went back into the building and telephoned the base security police. He yelled that they needed help because "intruders" were attempting to enter the facility. Sgt. Holmes at the security desk dispatched Sgt. Dwight Reid and AIC Michael Tash to the scene. After 17 minutes they arrived and observed Briggs and Hillsgeck standing near their government vehicle; both appeared to be in a daze and neither could speak. An ambulance was summoned. Hillsgeck appeared to have burns around the face. Tash walked around the area and found ground marks in the soft dirt. Suddenly Reid yelled to Tash that an object was directly overhead, and indeed the saucer-shaped object was hovering just above the facility. Sgt. Reid attempted to communicate with the security police desk, but the radio would not work. Reid and Tash then got Briggs and Hillsgeck and drove them from the scene. One mile from the site Reid was able to communicate with security, and he requested assistance, declaring a "Covered Wagon" (a high security violation alert). Four additional security officers arrived, including Sgt. Darren Alexander and his dog "Champ." Approximately 400 yards south of the site, Sgt. Alexander was alerted by his dog to two creatures standing near a remote power station. Sgt. Alexander yelled for the creatures to stand and raise their hands, but instead both creatures moved towards Alexander, who noticed that one of them was holding somekind of an object he thought was a weapon. Sgt. Alexander then fired six rounds form his revolver. After firing the shots, Alexander returned to his vehicle and radioed that he had fired at the creatures. Soon another security alert team arrived. They conducted a search of the area and also observed the saucer sitting on the ground, directly east of the power station. They circled the craft and called for a supervisor, a Captain Henry Stone. When Stone arrived and walked toward the object it flew off in an easterly direction and was out of sight in a few seconds. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

One of the witnesses noted the fall of silhouettes resembling vaguely wounded and disjointed men. The police who arrived at the scene discovered the body of a being that measured 1 m 34, with gray skin, and despite a long stay in the water showed no signs of putrefaction. He had a prominent belly. The specialized divers checked if there was no wreck at the bottom of the lake: no wreck, no other bodies. But traces, photographed: a long regular trench 4.60m wide which widened in certain points. In rocky places the stone had been cut to the same width, but no trace of metal torn off. The rocky walls where the rock is attacked are literally vitrified. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." ed.

Suddenly a tall young man was behind him. "Enrique, do you want to come with me?" Enrique agreed. He had to attach himself to the young man with his belt and then they found themselves flying in the air, on an invisible beam to a saucer 10 meters wide. In the saucer Mercado was amazed by the apparent simplicity of the equipment: a panel with 5 buttons of different colors, a kind of screen and two armchairs, that's all. They flew to a mothership, around which twelve other saucers were circulating. Mercado was then dressed in a green suit and was presented to the commander of the ship, a tall man over two meters tall, who was dressed in blue. The commander's name was Yastek and he showed Mercado a map of the sky. "Where are we?" asked Mercado. "Some 100,000 km from Mexico". Suddenly, he found himself on the balcony of his house, two hours had passed, it was close to midnight. **Reference:** Mitarbeiter, "Ufo Geheimnisse", Berlin, January 1998 **Reference:** continued on January 7, 77 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2699 ### Event 33950 (D4EB70FC) **Date:** 10/22/1972 **Time:** 20:30 **Location:** VERNEUIL-EN-HALATTE, FR **Description:** 2 cars electro-magnetic effect (EME) motors and lights.

Then they fly through the air, inside an apparently invisible beam, into a hovering saucer-shaped object. Inside the craft Mercado is surprised at the apparent simplicity of the craft's furnishings. There is a table with multi-colored buttons, a screen on the wall, and two armchairs. The saucer then flew into a hovering mothership, around which other saucers were hovering. Mercado is then given a green coverall to wear and he is introduced to the commander of the vessel, a huge man over two meters tall, who wore a blue coverall. The commander's name was Yastek, and he showed Mercado what he called "sky charts". Enrique is informed he is at a point some 100,000 kilometers above Mexico City. Suddenly, he finds himself on the balcony of his house, and two hours have elapsed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Daryle Brown and two copilots are flying a Wardair airliner at 22,000 feet some 180 miles northwest of Churchill, Manitoba, when they see a bright streak of light approaching from the west. As it comes closer, it appears to be a bullet-shaped object larger than a Boeing 727 and adorned with a cluster of multicolored pulsating lights. Brown notifies the 15 passengers aboard and turns out the interior lights so they can see the object better. Almost a dozen portholes are visible, while red and yellow lights are flashing on the top. At the rear of the object is a fog-like cloud and orange sparks. It takes up a position about 2,500 feet in front of the jet and on the same flight path. The object shines a beam of light at the airplane, bathing it in light that is bright enough to read to, and stops in mid-air directly in front of the jet. Before Brown can take evasive action, it moves off to the right. A dense fog engulfs the object as it disappears in the distance. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jeff Holt, “[Rencontre avec un UFO dans le](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/UFO%20Quebec/UFO%20Quebec%20-%20No%2009%20-%201977.pdf) [Grand Nord Canadien,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/UFO%20Quebec/UFO%20Quebec%20-%20No%2009%20-%201977.pdf)” UFO-Quebec, no. 9 \(1977\): 13–14; Yurko Bondarchuk, UFO Sightings, Landings, and Abductions, Methuen, 1979, pp. 167–169 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4882 ### Event 33954 (7B3AAE3F) **Date:** 10/23/1972 **Description:** An odd humming sound was heard in Balboa Park in San Diego, California.

Juan Fuentes Figueroa and four other Uruguayan Navy seamen are stationed at the lighthouse on Isla de Lobos, off Punta del Este, Uruguay. Fuentes goes to inspect the electrical generators and discovers some odd lights, which prompts him to retrieve a handgun from his room. When he returns, he notices an object in the shape of an inverted bowl with several white, yellow, and violet lights on top of a 20-foot terrace. An entity is next to the object and two others \(one much taller\) are descending from the UFO. They all notice Fuentes and face him from about 89 feet away. He raises his gun to shoot but feels strangely paralyzed and confused. The beings reenter the UFO, which moves straight up emitting a humming noise. When it reaches a height of 150 feet, it tilts, belches a bright fireball, and silently disappears at tremendous speed to the southeast. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Willy Smith, “[Alien Encounter at Isla de Lobos, Uruguay, 10-28-1972,](https://www.ufocasebook.com/isladelobosuruguay1972.html)” UFO Casebook; Willy Smith, “UFOs in Latin America,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, pp. 106–109 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4883 ### Event 33962 (B325D63A) **Date:** 10/28/1972 **Description:** At 9:30 p.m. two teachers and others driving between Ubirajara and Galia in Sao Paulo State, Brazil had a close encounter with a 1.5 m in diameter saucer-shaped object that landed on the highway several times. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** FSR, March 1973, p. 32 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7238 ### Event 33963 (5AE19FAF) **Date:** 10/28/1972 **Description:** At 10:10 p.m. Corporal Juan Maria Fuentes Figueroa, age 41, encountered a multicolored, humming domed disc at his military base on Isla de Lobos, Rocha province, Uruguay and pointed his gun at three entities he saw on the ground.

At 11:30 pm Mr. Garin stopped the vehicle to observe better. They then saw that these blinking lights belonged to a dark, metallic gray, oblong-shaped object, stationary above an apartment building. The front was pointed and the back had a vertical fin with a blinking light at its end. The couple stayed for ten minutes observing this strange, silent thing that had two rows of square windows clearly visible and lit up with a yellow light. Then, very slowly, the object started moving west and the witnesses then heard a very faint whistling sound, like a muffled electric motor from a coffee grinder. As it moved away, it suddenly emitted 4 or 5 flashes of silver light that illuminated the bottom of the object. Then it disappeared into the night. **Reference:** Inforespace n° 26 - 1976, pp. 22, 23 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2700 ### Event 33966 (F9507805) **Date:** 10/29/1972 **Time:** 10:40 **Location:** GHLIN, BELGIUM **Description:** 2 observer(s).

"It happened above my fish ponds," said Georges Vuillien. (...) my eyes were drawn to transparent spirals that descended to the ponds. And there, at 50 m, I discovered this enormous thing, motionless at about 10 m high above the small chalet. I saw it from the side. It had a diameter of about 25 m. It was topped with a small dome of 2 to 3 m high. The disc itself was of a matte aluminum color. The dome was shiny like a mirror. No trace of an opening. (...) frankly I was starting to get worried. Around this motionless and silent machine, no shrubbery, no leaves moved. Not even when it started to move. (...) I was really scared stiff. Slowly it pivoted as if on a horizontal axis to turn on its side and take the shape of a disc. It rose slowly to about 50 m. It lasted 4 or 5 seconds. Then, suddenly it shot up to the sky, like a cannonball. It stopped at 10000 or 12000 m and was then the size of a grapefruit. After three minutes it started moving again. My legs were shaking, I had to sit down to recover."

At nearby Middelburg police station, Sgt. John Goosen and Constable Koos Brazelle are looking towards Rosmead with binoculars and see an odd light above the town. School Principal Harold Truter sees the light moving vertically up from his home near the tennis court. The court is churned up with huge chunks of surface tar dug up, so he calls the Middelburg police about it. Goosen and Brazelle respond. There are 5 holes in the court, the largest 10 feet in diameter. Two spike holes are also found. The only entrances to the court are still locked up and there are no vehicle tracks inside or outside. A eucalyptus tree at the end of the court has suddenly begun to die and appears scorched. District Police Commandant Col. B.

(...) Mr. Louis-Charles Mercier, forty. Mrs. Rose Mercier, forty. Marlene Mercier, 14 years old. Mario Mercier, 11 years old, the main witness. The incident concerns Mario, but the whole family collaborated in the investigation with remarkable spontaneity. (...) "I was then 9 years old. I had gone to have fun on the skating rink located 214 m from the house. Then, for no reason, at one point, I looked up at the sky. It was then that, with astonishment, I saw like a cloud descending towards the ground at a vertiginous speed and which landed close to the shed attached to the house, on the side of the kitchen. This unusual spectacle was becoming more and more interesting, but also frightening, when three small "divers" black and square in shape, with a grayish face and measuring about 1.20 m, came out of this round cloud. I saw one who hid behind the shed, another behind the solid cloud and the third, he, was picking up snow with some kind of small black boiler as black as the costume of the one who held it. I did not see any hands, the handle was hidden in the costume. The owner of the boiler stood up, because he had bent down to collect the snow and he rushed towards the chicken coop, forty feet or more from the house. He was about to open the small door when I shouted loudly "ouch!" He turned his face towards me and he ran towards me, frozen with fear. I felt a great feeling of anxiety rising in me, not knowing what could happen to me. So I took refuge in my net used to hold hockey pucks when they are thrown in that place. I may have stayed a minute. Then, I got up. The square man was heading towards the cloud not paying any attention to my presence, contrary to what I had believed at first. With his companion, he got into the cloud. What I found very strange is that only two of them got in. The other, I do not know what became of him.".(...) **Reference:** Jean Ferguson, ufo Quebec no 5, brief summary Quebec Unusual **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2703 ### Event 34019 (BDDAC086) **Date:** 11/28/1972 **Time:** 10:30 **Location:** LA SARRE, QB **Description:** Kids.

He collects a small sample of the thickest section, but the strands dissolve in his fingers. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Keith Basterfield, “Angel Hair: An Australian Perspective,” IUR 27, no. 1 \(Spring 2002\): 7 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4892 ### Event 34022 (5EFFCB78) **Date:** 11/28/1972 **Description:** At 12.30 a.m. Alfonso Rey, age 62, was watching television in his home in Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires province, Argentina when the TV picture went out. When he got up to check the TV he noticed a tall being seated in an armchair at the opposite end of the room, wearing a blue-green metallic coverall uniform, with helmet, boots, and a black belt with a box attached. The being stood up, and was at least 6.5 feet tall. Sr. Rey asked the being what he wanted, but got no reply. Rey touched the being's hand, which felt cold and abnormally soft, "like foam rubber". He could not describe the facial features except for the eyes, which "seemed to emit a silvery light." Sr. Rey went into the kitchen, followed by the strange visitor, and he noticed that his refrigerator was not running normally. Sr. Rey also noticed that his visitor seemed to be walking on air. Next the being pressed some buttons on his belt apparatus, which caused an amber light to come on. Then he walked to the backdoor, and looking up at the sky pressed other buttons on his belt. The being went outside into the yard, then vanished into thin air. That afternoon, at 4:20 p.m. several patrons of a bar reported witnessing a similar looking stranger in the bar at the corner of Calle Alsina and Calle Pringles, in Tres Arroyos. Their descriptions matched those provided by Sr. Rey. They said the stranger walked into the bar's bathroom and did not emerge. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jane Thomas, FSR Case Histories, issue #14, April 1973, p. 11; David F.

Three four-foot tall, square-shouldered beings emerged, wearing black suits and black square-shaped helmets. One of them carried a small black "kettle" that he proceeded to fill with snow. He then walked to the Mercier family chicken house, and was about to enter when the boy cried out. He then turned toward Mario, who attempted to hide inside the rink's hockey net. The UFOnaut walked back, and with one of the others, was seen to "climb" or levitate into the "cloud." The UFO rose vertically swiftly. A 10 foot circle of blackened grass was left behind, with rectangular tracks in snow. It was two years before grass would grow again at the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jean Ferguson, UFO-Quebec, January 1976, p. 9; David F.

The lights come back on but vary in intensity several times. He decides to stop the car. To his left he sees a “diamond shape with the top cut off” noiselessly sitting on the ground 148 feet away in a paddock. His car radio starts making a noise like a “computer on TV,” a constant rhythm. He tries the ignition key but nothing happens, not even the oil light comes on. He tries the wipers and the electric air horn but they do not work either. He locks all the doors and winds up the windows and just sits there for the next 45 minutes. After this time the object leaves, and he finds he can restart the car. An inspection of the vehicle the next day reveals no cause for the electrical problems. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Herbert S.

He goes out on the porch and sees a huge, round luminous object descending to a hill approximately 3 miles from his home. After a while, he goes to get binoculars, and with these he can see that the luminous shape is hovering a several feet above the ground. Its lower part is glowing like a neon light, while the upper part has a row of orange-red portholes. His wife Margarida and servant join him to look at the display. Suddenly, three blinking lights emerge from the object. One of these lights slowly moves in the direction of his house. After 15 minutes, the moving light has arrived within 165 feet in back of the house. Three small beings emerge from it, wearing what appears to be a one-piece suit of whitish or light-gray color. The beings keep their elbows close to the body when walking, as if on tiptoe, raising their knees exaggeratedly at each step. They go away, but the big object remains on the hill until around midnight. At one time it emits a beam that sets the brush on fire. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Patrick Gross, “[Dias d’Ávila, Brazil, December 13, 1972](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/abbehusen1972.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4896 ### Event 34051 (B0880264) **Date:** 12/14/1972 **Location:** 37.0000 -116.0000 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

He had just finished his evening meal. Near him were his 4-5 year old dog and a cat with kittens. He was listening to his transistor when suddenly it stopped working. He then heard a loud humming, louder than that of an angry swarm of bees. He saw a light illuminating the whole region and distinguished a large floating object almost above his head at 10 or 20 m in height (...) At first only one figure was visible from the size of the head through a porthole, and then he saw a second occupant, and then others. He only remembers their slanted, fixed, deep eyes and a simple slit for a mouth. The object moved in all directions. On the tight-fitting uniform of one of the visitors he saw an emblem resembling a seahorse surmounted by a crown, next to it there were symbols on the right side. He saw a large number of instruments and dials. A blinding flash came out: this beam carried away the cat which disappeared on the spot. The humming became louder and the device became blue-green. In total the observation lasted only 20 seconds. The cat reappeared 48 days later, on February 16, 1973 and its back showed signs of burns and scratches. Different physical effects felt by the witness (having only two years of primary school): still under the device he felt tingling in his legs. This sensation lasted 2 days and only disappeared on the 3rd day. Three or four hours after the observation he had a terrible headache, which worsened, and for which aspirin was ineffective. This lasted eight days before gradually decreasing. At that moment the pains were also felt in the neck and neck. Eight to nine hours after the observation he had violent colic, up to 8 times a day. This diarrhea lasted eight days and it was then possible to cut it with Streptocarbocaftiazol. The first four days the colic were accompanied by nausea and vomiting. He lost his hair abnormally with each comb. Fifteen days after the observation he had red pustules in the neck that itched. After the observation the witness had difficulty speaking and could hardly move his tongue: this lasted 10 to 12 days. In addition, the eyes were crying, this lasted 5 days. (Perrin Jack R. "The Mystery of UFOs" - J'ai Lu / Pygmalion 1976, pp. 103-109, based on an article published by F.S.R.) Following a visit to Maceiras, from 19 to 21 February 1973, Romaniuk noted: "Since around 10 February, Maceiras has seen new teeth grow in his upper left gum. I can confirm that on the day of my visit, two front teeth and two side teeth were growing, and they already had two to three millimeters long" **Reference:** Leonard STRINGFIELD, "General Alert UFO", ed.

The next thing he knows, he is driving through Marlowe in total silence with no memory of how he got there. Some 90 minutes have vanished from his memory. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, “The Twelve UFOs of Christmas,” Fortean Times 374 \(Christmas 2018\): 29 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4899 ### Event 34075 (EE4A536F) **Date:** 12/30/1972 **Description:** Ventura Maceiras, a 73-year-old gaucho, was sitting near his shack in Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires, Argentina with his dog and his cat when his transistor radio failed. He then heard a loud humming noise, "like angry bees," and looked up to see an object 70 to 80 feet in diameter hovering overhead. It was some 10-12 meters over a grove of eucalyptus trees, and it was emitting a powerful light. An enormous "wheel" was spinning around this object, which at first was reddish orange in color and then became purple. In its upper portion he could see a spherical cabin with two windows, and in one window was visible from the waist upwards a figure wearing dark gray clothing made of inflated "rolls," joined together, similar to our astronaut's space suits. On this being's head was a helmet with a transparent visor and a tube that ran to a box on his back.

With a shower of sparks, the UFO tilted toward Sr. Maceiras, and he could now see a second occupant with identical features and clothing. Their eyes were slanted and their mouths were mere slits, and their faces were very flat. Behind them he could see a small flag or insignia showing a crowned seahorse followed by symbols resembling "S C Y" against a blue background. There was also a long instrument panel bearing "a lot of instruments and clocks."

A powerful flash of light came from the underpart and completely enveloped the cat while temporarily blinding the witness. The humming grew louder, and the UFO changed color again to a blue-green, then moved away, sinking to a height of only 12-20 feet above the ground. It moved off toward the main road, leaving a strong odor like "sulphur or arnica." Maceiras was not frightened---in fact he called out to the occupants of the object to come down and share his mate. After the encounter, his cat disappeared, to return only after 48 hours, her back still showing burn marks. She now shunned the site of her misfortune. The tops of the eucalyptus trees at the site were scorched. Maceiras himself experienced severe physiological aftereffects: diarrhea, nausea, hair loss, and severe headaches, all lasting about two weeks. He also had some trouble speaking, and his eyes watered for a few days. Six weeks after the event he was feeling better and in fact felt rejuvenated, and he began cutting a new set of teeth in his upper gums. These effects were to continue. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Pedro Romaniuk, FSR, July 1973, p. 10; David F.

They moved in single file. The one who closed the small row, a bit taller than the other two, suddenly looked in Mrs. Vermeulen's direction. Simultaneously the three little creatures turned around and disappeared from view.

Near the stadium, a grey-white light was moving slowly. At first they didn't think much of it. But when the light suddenly and intermittently projected intense beams of light, moved east, zigzagged, rose and fell, moved in a saw-tooth pattern, curved, arrived at Rue du Dauphin and directed its beam towards the witnesses, and then suddenly went out, the witnesses were scared. After regaining their composure, five minutes passed and the phenomenon appeared again. It no longer projected a beam: it was a square with rounded corners, with a dark curved vertical line, and a large halo around it, giving it the size of a house. A veranda was lit up by the phenomenon and the witnesses could see all the details. (vog: I suppose here we are talking about the details of the veranda and not those of the phenomenon).

It was in a clearing to the right of the road. As they passed it, the two observed a red orange lighted area of rectangular shape, about 10 feet high by 5 feet wide, in which they saw a sharply defined man in a white spacesuit. The figure was of normal height and appeared to be of ordinary shape, but was suspended some 2-3 inches above the ground. He floated into the middle of the lighted area some 2-3 feet above the base. Brian called this to his companion's attention as he accelerated past the scene, and Sharon was able to see the orange glow spread across the entire highway behind them. When they arrived at Miss Kinckler's home in Kimba, they called the local police and a constable accompanied them back to the site. The light was gone and no traces were found. Two other independent witnesses were subsequently located by investigators. Mr. Allen Degnor, a Ceduna truck driver who passed by the same area at 10.00 p.m. described essentially the same phenomenon. Mr. Max Inglis, who had passed Brian and Sharon just before reaching the site of the strange phenomenon. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He later becomes a subscriber to the newsletter Just Cause \(Citizens Against UFO Secrecy\). Gleason has a collection of 1,700 books on parapsychology, UFOs, and the unknown. Gleason’s second wife, [Beverly McKittrick](https://www.famousfix.com/topic/beverly-mckittrick)[,](https://www.famousfix.com/topic/beverly-mckittrick) says that Nixon took Gleason to a heavily secured area at Homestead AFB \[now Homestead Air Reserve Base\] in Miami-Dade County where he views the remains of small aliens in a top secret repository. McKittrick relates this story in an unpublished manuscript of Gleason called “The Great One.” [Larry Bryant](http://www.jerrypippin.com/UFO%5FFiles%5Flarry%5Fbryant.htm)[,](http://www.jerrypippin.com/UFO%5FFiles%5Flarry%5Fbryant.htm) editor of Just Cause, the newsletter Gleason had a subscription to, files a Freedom of Information Act request with Homestead AFB. Bryant requests documentation on the repository and Gleason’s visit there to see the alien bodies. Homestead replies that “no such records existed.” Bryant also sends an advertisement to the Homestead AFB newspaper soliciting information. The public affairs officer at Homestead denounces the Bryant advertisement and “forbade its publication.” At the same time Bryant writes Gleason providing him with a draft affidavit. He asks Gleason to execute the affidavit so it can be used as part of a growing accumulation of evidence Bryant is collecting in preparation for taking the government to court to release all information on alien crash retrievals. Gleason does not reply. Shortly before his death in 1987, one story says Gleason confirms the story about seeing the bodies at Homestead. The person who Jackie Gleason tells the story to is [Larry Warren](https://peoplepill.com/people/larry-warren-1/)[,](https://peoplepill.com/people/larry-warren-1/) who is a member of the Air Force Security Police at RAF Bentwaters \[now closed\] near Woodbridge, Suffolk, one of two bases in England where in late December 1980, three days of bizarre UFO incidents take place. Warren says that Gleason and Nixon enter a room with 6–8 glass-topped freezers. Inside “were the mangled remains of what I took to be children.” On closer inspection, he sees that some of the figures look old and injured. Gleason cannot sleep or eat for three weeks after the visit. The director of the Secret Service under President [Clinton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill%5FClinton)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill%5FClinton) [Lewis C. Merletti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis%5FC.%5FMerletti)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis%5FC.%5FMerletti) claims that the idea of a president escaping his secret service agents only happens in the movies. In response to a question by reporter Joan London about the possibility of the president escaping his protection to go out and secretly do something, Merletti claims, “all Hollywood. There’s no sneaking out. It has never happened.” [Marty Venker](https://observer.com/2015/06/saluting-a-secret-service-agent-turned-dj/), a Secret Service agent who worked with Merletti under Presidents [Ford](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald%5FFord) and [Carter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy%5FCarter)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy%5FCarter) however, tells a different story. In his book Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent he explains that not only can the president disappear, but it has happened. Venker states that in the exact year of the Homestead incident with Gleason, 1973, Nixon tries to cut his secret service protection. Venker also states that it was not uncommon for Nixon to try to elude his Secret Service detail. The agents working on the Nixon presidential detail were warned about it. Nixon is familiar with Homestead AFB, which is only minutes from his Biscayne Bay compound. There is no proof that Nixon escorted Jackie Gleason to view alien bodies at Homestead, but everything checked out indicates it could very well have happened. It would have been very easy in terms of distance for the Gleason/Nixon alien event to have occurred. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** presidentialufo.com, “President Nixon, 37th President, January 20, 1969–August 9, 1974”; Brian J.

Clearwater High School basketball coach Reggie Bone and five players on his team are driving back to Clearwater after a game. On US Highway 60 near Ellsinore, Missouri, Bone notices a “bright shaft of light beaming down out of the sky.” A few miles later, near Brushy Creek, student Randal Holmes notices another light, and Bone pulls over for a closer look. They see lights about 600 feet away from the road hovering over an open field at about 400 feet altitude. The lights seem to be portholes, each a different color: red, green, amber, and white. According to student Cary Barks, they watch it for 10 minutes before the lights rise up noiselessly and disappear over a hill. Around 10:00 p.m., Edith Boatwright of nearby Mill Spring sees a similar object flying low near her farmhouse. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Mysterious Lights Keep Piedmont in the Dark,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/7808878/st-louis-post-dispatch/)” St. Louis Post-Dispatch, March 23, 1973, p. 1; MUFON, “Piedmont Missouri Case, 1973”; Harley D.

The next morning she perceived a message telling her to return to the site of her 1972 vechicle UFO close encounter. She contacted two investigators of the Victorian UFO Research group and drove with them to the site at Mooraduc Crossing, Victoria, Australia. On route she briefly saw a man sitting in the front seat of the car whom her passengers did not see. As she approached the spot of her earlier encounter, she saw the same figure standing outside the car, but the others again saw nothing. She reported that the figure was normal sized, wearing a white ski suit style coverall tucked in at the wrists and covering the feet. He had long blond hair. He beckoned to Mrs Puddy, but she did not respond; instead, she appeared to lose consciousness.

She experienced some kind of altered state of consciousness, in which she was able to describe to the two passengers in the car what she was seeing at the moment. She felt she was in a round room lit by an unknown source. The figure appeared in the room with her, and the room was shaped like a large mushroom with a stem at the bottom and a hemispherical dome on top. It appeared to have an inner hemisphere that appeared to be wobbling, and had what looked like hieroglyphics on it. She saw no doors or windows in the room, and became frightened; she started to cry and "woke up" with tears in her eyes, but she could recall nothing of what had just happened in her trance-like state. About a week later she was driving with her son, and was seated in the front passenger seat. The same "man" again appeared, sitting between them, but her son did not see him. His presence was accompanied by an abrupt change in the weather, which had been rainy. It suddenly cleared, and Mrs Puddy could see for miles. When the figure vanished abruptly the rainy conditions again prevailed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

After it had gone, all the boys went off on a race, leaving Helene behind. The brilliant light source then reappeared and flew back over her. She estimated it was 60 feet in diameter. Suddenly its light went out, and Helene thought it must have been a plane that had crashed somewhere behind her. She turned her snowmobile around and drove back about 150 meters, then got off and walked toward a very large dark bulk that she could make out among some trees. When she was about 50 feet from it a small, cold hand came from over her shoulder and seized her by the chin, attempting to drag her backwards. Thinking it must be her younger brother playing a joke, she broke free and pushed her attacker back so that he fell down into the snow. Turning to face him, she saw a childlike figure smaller than her 13-year-old brother sitting in the snow. She ran back to her snowmobile and grabbed a flashlight, and turned it on the person who was now walking slowly toward her. She saw it was a being less than four feet tall, clad in a dark, close fitting uniform with a "plated" surface, and wearing a helmet covering the head down to the chin. A visor on the helmet reflected the light from the flashlight, and the being's enormous eyes shone brightly in the light, like those of a cat. Terrified, Helene dropped the flashlight, ran to the snowmobile, and fled on it. She was joined by the other snowmobilers, who were returning for her. Her left arm was paralyzed, so she was taken to a doctor at Rouyn, who gave her a sedative. The next day several people went out to the landing site, where they found a large patch of snow melted down to the ground. It was 50 feet in diameter and shaped like a donut. Next to it were the footprints of two small bipeds, a few yards away from each other. The tracks were short and wide with a large protruding great toe. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It descended in a falling-leaf fashion until it was within a yard of the ground, then it settled in a tilted position beside the highway he was on. It was aluminum colored while it was landing, but turned color to a dull copper after in landed. It was about 3-4 meters (16 feet) wide. After three minutes some legs thrust out, which leveled the UFO. Then Herrera saw beside it a being 5 feet two inches tall, dressed in a white "diving suit" with an opaque helmet. The beings arms were cut off short without any hands. The feet were covered by the suit, with no other footwear. He did not see the entity emerge from the craft. It glided a few feet without walking, then vanished. A few seconds later the UFO retracted its legs, returned to an inclined position, and took off. Herrera was about 50 feet away from it at the time. He took what he thought was one step and found he was already standing at the landing marks, having moved 50 feet without any conscious memory. There were seven imprints at the site, nonsymmetrically arranged, covering an area of only about five feet square. A small truck came up and its driver said that he had seen the UFO and it had caused his engine and his radio to fail. This man drove Herrera, who now felt ill, to Salta. He entered a medical clinic there, where he underwent treatment for eight days without ever being told the diagnosis. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It passes over the roof of a nearby house, then banks, makes a 90° turn, and begins to blink as it disappears to the east. Similar objects appear every 10 minutes, continuing until 9:15 p.m. The objects’ slow speed allows her to take photos. At one point she looks through her late husband’s World War I trench periscope and sees a humanoid figure dressed in shiny, tight-fitting clothes and standing in the front of one of the objects. Only one photo turns out and shows a squarish light against a dark sky. Analysis suggests that the objects were probably aircraft taking off from the military base at Florennes a few miles away, the humanoid figure was imaginary, and the photo was a blurry streetlight. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos and Wim van Utrecht, [Belgium](https://www.academia.edu/35133835/BELGIUM%5FIN%5FUFO%5FPHOTOGRAPHS%5FVolume%5F1%5F1950%5F1988%5F) [in UFO Photographs, Volume 1 \(1950–1988\)](https://www.academia.edu/35133835/BELGIUM%5FIN%5FUFO%5FPHOTOGRAPHS%5FVolume%5F1%5F1950%5F1988%5F)[,](https://www.academia.edu/35133835/BELGIUM%5FIN%5FUFO%5FPHOTOGRAPHS%5FVolume%5F1%5F1950%5F1988%5F) FOTOCAT Report no. 7, 2017, pp.172–183 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4913 ### Event 34258 (BFA9C938) **Date:** 3/20/1973 **Description:** Mrs. Vandervoort, who was living outside the village of Tarcienne, Belgium, went outdoors at 7:15 p.m. to close her shutters. She saw a white light pass over the roof of the nearest house some 100 meters away. The UFO approached silently from the direction of the nearby woods and moved toward the east. In the next hour, at intervals of some minutes apart, she saw a total of 25 similar lights or objects fly over at only 10 to 15 meters above the trees, moving very fast. With the aid of a telescope she observed in the front of one of these objects a "man" standing. He was handling a "board" and was just a "tiny" figure but "of great height." He held one arm straight up. The witness reportedly took photos of some of the lights. "It was impressive," she was quoted as saying, insisting they were not normal aircraft. She said she was familiar with aircraft because there is a Belgian Air Force Base northeast of her locale. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He said that on this occasion he also found the pair of boots that he'd lost on his earlier encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Suddenly the object stops and remains motionless for about one minute, then moves at a greater speed, making an angle of 70° before coming to another wobbling halt for about 8 minutes. De Weerdt manages to take a color photograph of the object, which shows a whitish spot. Ballester Olmos and van Utrecht suspect the witness saw a weather balloon and that the photo is the result of a development flaw. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos and Wim van Utrecht, [Belgium in UFO Photographs, Volume 1](https://www.academia.edu/35133835/BELGIUM%5FIN%5FUFO%5FPHOTOGRAPHS%5FVolume%5F1%5F1950%5F1988%5F) [\(1950–1988\)](https://www.academia.edu/35133835/BELGIUM%5FIN%5FUFO%5FPHOTOGRAPHS%5FVolume%5F1%5F1950%5F1988%5F), FOTOCAT Report no. 7, 2017, pp. 183–196 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4914 ### Event 34278 (D76FB8C3) **Date:** 3/24/1973 **Description:** Therines, Oise, France - At midnight M. Brechant, his 11-year-old son Patrice, and his brother-in-law Mr. Cosme, were in a car on a dark night on a UFO hunting expedition. In a field near Songeons, France and some 250-300 meters away from the road, they saw a luminous ball whose light diminished in intensity. For a few seconds 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared beside it. They tried to drive around the light and observe it from behind. A second luminous ball, likewise in the field, was about 200 meters away. A triangular beam of light emerged from its base, pointing toward the left. Through binoculars Mr. Cosme could see two luminous silhouettes of humanoid beings, one behind the beam and one "sliding on it" towards the point, where it disappeared. They seemed to have elongated heads and enormously broad shoulders. He could not distinguish arms and legs but the one behind the beam seemed to carry a sack on its left side. This silhouette gradually "evaporated." The beam then went out, and then the ball disappeared. On their way home their car was pursued by a ball of yellowish-white light that turned yellowish-green at treetop level. The first saw it 300 meters away and it later approached to within 50 meters. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They spotted a luminous ball in a field near Songeons only 250-300 meters away. The light diminished in intensity, and for a few seconds 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared next to it. Then next tried to drive around the field and observe the light from the rear. A second luminous ball was then seen in another field about 200 yards away. From its base emerged a triangular beam of light, with its base on the sphere and its apex pointing toward the left. Through a pair of binoculars Mr. Cosme could see two luminous silhouettes of humanoid beings, one behind the beam and one "sliding on it" towards the point, where it disappeared. They seemed to have elongated heads and enormously broad shoulders. He could not distinguish arms and legs, but the one behind the beam seemed to be carrying a sack on its left side.

On their way home their car was pursued by a ball of yellow-white light, then yellowish green light at treetop level, which was first seen 300 meters away and later approached to within 50 meters. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Alain Garnard, UFO Register, volume 7, p. 44; David F.

The diesel engine of the car stopped, and the driver was frozen with paralysis for over a minute. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 9891, citing Phenomenes Spatiaux, issue 40 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1659 ### Event 34283 (6A43A36C) **Date:** 3/26/1973 **Location:** AUSTRIA, Graz **Description:** (Translated from French) It was 5:00 in the morning, Mr. A. was on his way to work (Puch factories in Graz-Thondorf). When he arrived at the Puntigam bridge, he noticed that the road and the air were lit up by a blue glow. He then saw an object gliding through the sky, just above the high-voltage line. The object was approaching at a constant speed, like a glider ready to land, its front pointed towards the ground. The object had the size of a medium-sized car, colored blue, ending in 4 or 5 fan-shaped points on a kind of parallelepiped (box) with rounded corners, and at the front there was something like a ledge. The witness on the bike pedaled faster, feeling a strange feeling of insecurity, so much was he taken aback by this apparition. When he arrived at a corner of the road, he looked around and saw the flying object close to the ground parallel to the road. That's when he saw 8 or 10 fixed red points, like small domes emitting a very bright red glow that contrasted with the blue of the rest of the object.

On the evening of March 28th they had seen two elongated bluish objects high overhead. At about one o'clock at night they awoke to stifling heat inside their house. Mr. Silva went to the balcony and saw the two blue, capsule shaped objects they had seen earlier now flying near the shore. One of them dropped into the sea and re-emerged on the surface. It was then joined by the second, which bobbed on the surface nearby. Silva went down to the beach to get a better view.

At one of the small windows of the first little object that came down from the sky he saw a tiny figure like a five-year-old child. The craft was floating only a few meters from shore. "I was terrified when...I saw a tiny figure...wearing on its head what looked like a great gourd. I cannot say for sure that it was an intelligent being, since I only saw half of its body and its head, which, as I say, looked like a gourd. Nor did I see any arms. And I didn't wait to see if it made any movements." Sr. Silva turned on his heels and ran back into the house, where his wife was watching from the balcony. The two UFOs that had come down from the sky were still bobbing up and down in the water when he rejoined her. The incident lasted about 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Published along with an accompanying editorial disclaimer, Lunan maintains that the putative message comes from an object at the L5 point in the same orbit as the Moon, sent by the inhabitants of a planet orbiting Epsilon Boötis. He says the message reads, “Start here. Our home is Epsilon Boötis, which is a double star. We live on the sixth planet of seven, coming from the sun, which is the larger of the two. Our sixth planet has one moon. Our fourth planet has three. Our first and third planets each have one. Our probe is in the position of Arcturus, known in our maps.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Spaceprobe from Epsilon Boötis,” Spaceflight 15, no. 4 \(April 1973\); Duncan Lunan, [Man and the Stars: Contact and](https://archive.org/details/manstarscontactc0000luna/mode/2up) [Communication with Other Intelligence](https://archive.org/details/manstarscontactc0000luna/mode/2up), Souvenir, 1974 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4916 ### Event 34304 (9982D6EF) **Date:** 4/1973 **Locations:** Southeast Missouri State University; Piedmont, Missouri **Description:** Southeast Missouri State University physics professor [Harley Rutledge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley%5FRutledge) hears of numerous reports of unidentified lights in the sky around Piedmont, Missouri, and decides to subject these reports to scientific analysis. He puts together a team of 620 observers with college training in the physical sciences, including a large array of equipment at 158 different viewing stations: binoculars, RF spectrum analyzers, Questar telescopes, low-high frequency audio detectors, an electromagnetic frequency analyzer, cameras, sound recorders, Geiger counters, and a galvanometer to measure variations in the Earth’s gravitational field. The resulting Project Identification commences in April, logging several hundred hours of observation time and 157 documented sightings over the next 7 years. This is the first UFO scientific field study, able to monitor the phenomena in real-time, enabling Rutledge to calculate the objects’ actual velocity, course, position, distance, and size. Observation of the unclouded night sky often reveals “pseudostars”—stationary lights camouflaged by familiar constellations. Some objects appear to mimic the appearance of known aircraft; others violate the laws of physics. The most startling discovery is that on at least 32 recorded occasions, the movement of the lights synchronize with actions of the observers. They appear to respond to a light being switched on and off, and to verbal or radio messages. Rutledge publishes a final report, Project Identification, on his field research in 1981. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Harley D.

One night, a woman searched on foot for her dog in a rural area near Berryville. She saw what appeared to be a silver helicopter sitting on an adjacent golf course. Approaching a clearing, she saw humans in white coats or uniforms, plus 2 non-humans she had encountered weeks before - all gathered over a horse which seemed to be in pain.

The orange ball of light appeared on the slope of Clark's Mountain, and disappeared when the aircraft turned toward it. A simultaneously identical light appeared to their right. When the aircraft banked again, the object turned and then shot straight up. The acceleration was estimated at 330 G's. Also, a glowing ball or disc-shaped object was chased by two experienced pilots in a Piper Cherokee over Farmington, Missouri, the same night and at the same time as the Piedmont incident. The object gave off heat waves, and made no noise. it outdistanced the plane with a tremendous burst of speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Charles J.

During the night of April 15-16 more than a dozen witnesses reported observations of UFOs in the area of Penn and Manor, Pennsylvania, near the larger town of Jeanette. Among these was the report of a single witness who was driving near the Manor, Pennsylvania Power plant at 10:55 p.m. when he observed a large glowing object over the nearby railroad tracks. It was just above the trees, and the light from the object illuminated the immediate area with an intense white color. The witness pulled over to the side of the road and got out for a better look. The object, no more than a hundred yards away, was about 400 yards west of the power plant and approximately 10 feet above the trees. The object itself was completely illuminated but apparently solid in construction and about three car lengths in size. It had a dome like structure on top, which was the same bright color as the rest of the object. Around the main section were 2 or 3 rows of multi-colored lights, or square windows. One was whitish, the next red, and the third a blue or green hue. From the left side of the UFO a line or cord extended some 30 yards, and at the end of the cord floated a human form some eight to ten feet tall, similar to the "Apollo astronauts walking in space". It was of a purple or orange color. The witness did not see the humanoid form retracted into the UFO; rather it disappeared like "a string of lights." The witness had left his lights on and engine running when he got out of his vehicle, and he noticed that the headlights had dimmed to the strength of a weak flashlight. When the object departed, the headlights came back on as bright as before. The object made a high-pitched sound "like a spinning top" when it departed. "You could hear the trees blowing" as it went over them. The encounter lasted three to four minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) Irwin Standard-Observer, July 1973, p. 27; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 56, citing the UFO Register, (volume 5, 1974), (2) Stan Gordon, Skylook, June 1973, p. 6; David F.

A noise reaches him, someone is scratching at the door. He wonders who it could be at this late hour. He gets up and goes to open the door. There, an indescribable being is looking at him. It measures between 1.20m and 1.50m. It has three legs, a hunched body, two small arms coming out of its chest and its two pink eyes the size of a flashlight reflector are fixed on McDaniel. The dark grayish creature tries to enter the house. Horrified, McDaniel does not give it the chance. He rushes to his gun and without warning, he opens fire. With the first shot he has the sensation of having hit it, but he notices that the monster does not seem to be any worse off.

[William T. Coleman](http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1243564/pg1) and Col. [George](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/72741517/george-ryan-weinbrenner) [Weinbrenner](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/72741517/george-ryan-weinbrenner)\) and two well-connected Hollywood figures: documentarist [Robert Emenegger](https://prabook.com/web/robert%5Fe.emenegger/381357) and producer [Allan](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0761954/) [Sandler](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0761954/)[.](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0761954/) The colonels encourage the pair to make a documentary on the UFO phenomenon and the question of extraterrestrial life. Not only will they have the military’s full cooperation, they will also have access to their files, including those of the Department of Defense. Upon arriving at Norton Air Force Base \[now San Bernardino, California, International Airport\] the two men are immediately taken to a “clean room used by the CIA,” designed so that “there was no way anyone could eavesdrop” on events taking place inside. Here the proposal takes place, including the promise of using 3,200 feet of a 1971 UFO landing footage at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, that shows several of the “alien visitors” and their meeting with the representatives from the US government. Paul Shartle, chief of requirements for the Norton AFB audiovisual program, promises to get the Holloman footage. Emenegger is told that the military is monitoring signals from an alien group that their extraterrestrial visitors know nothing about. At the last minute, permission to use the film is withdrawn, though Emenegger and Sandler are encouraged to describe the Holloman landing as something that might happen in the future or could have happened. Emenegger goes to Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio to talk to Weinbrenner, who while haranguing about the need to find out about Soviet Mig-25s, hands Emenegger a signed copy of [Hynek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek)’s The UFO Experience. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** presidentialufo.com, “Disclosure Pattern 1972–75”; Clark III 357 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4920 ### Event 34374 (C1066AB8) **Date:** 5/1973 **Description:** USAF Col. William T. Coleman and Col. George Weinbrenner allegedly meet with Hollywood documentary filmmaker Robert Emenegger and producer Allan Sandler and encourage them to make a documentary on UAP and its extraterrestrial origin. They are told they’ll have the government’s full cooperation and exclusive access to classified footage of a UAP landing in 1971 at Holloman AFB, NM. Coleman and Weinbrenner claim the film shows “alien visitors” and their meeting with members of the U.S. government. Emenegger is told there are multiple extraterrestrial groups and the military is monitoring at least one other group the Holloman entities don’t know about. After pre-production, permission to use the landing film is withdrawn. * [https://web.archive.org/web/20190622183540/http:/www.presidentialufo.com/old_site/disclosure_72-75.htm](https://web.archive.org/web/20190622183540/http:/www.presidentialufo.com/old_site/disclosure_72-75.htm) >**_Note_**: This story is alleged but if true, highlights the Air Force’s attempts to shape public opinion through mass media and possibly “disclose” UAP on the USAF’s terms in 1973. It is curiously similar to meetings with USG officials, Lockheed Martin personnel and Clinton campaign personnel in 2016. Those meetings led to the formation of To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science with former USG employees and contractors from the intelligence community in 2017 whose release of three UAP videos shaped mass media. >* [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHZwH5WvwnFfsbDRTG9NwtVwRGwW_Vu7F](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHZwH5WvwnFfsbDRTG9NwtVwRGwW_Vu7F) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_141 ### Event 34375 (9EDD720D) **Date:** 5/2/1973 **Time:** 19:30 **Location:** KALYAN, SOUTH AUSTRALIA **Description:** Red-white saucer rises.

They moved with him until he stopped out of curiosity, and so did the lights. Looking up through the windshield he could see a football shaped object that flashed from red to blue to white in a repeating cycle. He then saw a human figure materialize 10 feet below the object. The figure was clad all in silver, and descended rapidly to the roadway directly in front of the car. When it reached the pavement the figure stood looking to the right, then to look directly at the witness. After a half a minute the figure ascended rapidly, "like a helium balloon," towards the object. It vanished before reaching it.

The figure was entirely silver in color and seemed to lack hair and ears. A narrow mouth with a small pointed chin were also observed. He was uncertain whether the silvery body was a close fitting garment or the actual skin color, because he saw what appeared to be the faint outline of a vein running down the inside of one of the arms. The feet were clad with boots or shoes, with a heavy, distinct line between the sole and the boot itself. The height of the figure was not much more than 2.5 feet. When it descended it was approximately ten feet in front of the car. The UFO shot up in a rapid vertical ascent, rocking the car "as if a semi was passing." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

As they were crossing a brook by a footbridge a strange figure came out from under the bridge. This person fumbled with a book, dropped it in the water, retrieved it, and then went with "a strange hopping motion, with knees raised high" to a metallic "hut" with no windows.

The being was nearly 7-foot tall and neckless. He wore a yellow, pointed, hood with a black knob on top with "wooden" antennae or horns on the sides, and a green tunic with a red collar. "His face had triangular markings for eyes, a brown square of a nose and motionless yellow lips." Other round markings were on his paper-white cheeks, and a fringe of red hair fell onto his forehead. "Wooden slats" protruded from his sleeves and from below his white trousers. There were only three fingers on each blue-gloved hand and 3 toes on his bare, white feet. The being took from the hut a black knobbed microphone, into which he spoke to the children, now 50 meters away, saying "Hello, are you still there?"

Since his tone sounded friendly, they approached him. He then wrote in a "notebook", in a large hand, "Hello and I am all colors, Sam." Talking without the aid of a microphone, his lips did not move, and his speech was unclear. They asked about his clothes, which were all ripped, and "asked if he was really a man." "No", he replied, with a chuckle. When they asked if he was a ghost, he answered "Well, not really, but I am in an odd sort of way." "What are you then?" they asked, but he replied, "You know." He also said that he had no name, and "confided that he was frightened of people."

At his invitation, the children crawled through a flap into his hut, which he told them he had "just made." It contained two levels. The lower, which "had plenty of headroom", was "wall papered" in blue green and covered with a pattern of dials; there was an electric heater and simple wooden furniture. The upper level, less spacious, had a metal floor. He told the children that he fed on berries, and drank the river water after cleaning it. He said he had a camp on the mainland. Inside the hut he removed his hat to reveal round, white ears and sparse brown hair. Before eating a berry, he performed an "odd trick" with it; he placed the berry in his ear, where it disappeared and reappeared at one of his triangular eyes."repeating the process, the berry traveled to his mouth." The children talked to this being for at least half an hour, then rushed across the golf links to tell the firs man they had seen a ghost. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Then a man about 5 feet 3 inches tall appeared in front of him. He wore a brownish gray, tight-fitting coverall, with metallic colored boots and a wide belt with a very large blue buckle. His face and his hands, which had long fingers, were pallid white, his ears were small and pointed, and his head "larger than ours." This man, speaking in Portuguese, told the witness not to be afraid and to put away his gun, saying that he was "not of this world-I come from a planet that you people call a satellite." He also said that his ship was hovering a few yards above them, invisible to the eye. Then he said, "Good bye, brother, I must go" and pushed a white button on his belt buckle. At this a beam of light shone on him "and then drew away, carrying the man with it", he disappeared a few yards above the man's head. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The car radio had strong interference, the engine was stuttering at the same time as an intense blue light began to sweep through the interior of the car. As the vehicle jolted, a blinding but lower light source startled him as he saw his engine in great detail: the hood and dashboard seemed to no longer exist, as if he was looking at it with X-ray eyes. He then stopped the vehicle. Inside, the heat was so intense he was suffocating and he opened the door. Then he saw the object hovering 10 meters above the ground, 15 meters away from him, emitting a turbine buzzing sound. It resembled two hats stuck together, without any structure, and from a single source it emitted this intense light. Then a kind of tube descended from the lower part and a semi-transparent veil covered the craft: the witness no longer felt the heat or lack of air. (...) He lost consciousness. Around 5 o'clock in the morning a policeman found him unconscious in a stream near the road, 30 meters away from his car parked on the side, doors open and headlights on. The man was taken to the hospital. Inside the car, the briefcase had been opened and the documents it contained were scattered. Physiological effects: brown hair had become completely black, yellow pigmented spots on the body. (Inforespace n° 11 - p. 36, 37 - 1973 - SOBEPS) Finally he was seized by such panic that he left his vehicle and ran, head down, into the nearby forest. After running about thirty meters, he felt a mysterious force pulling him back like a spring. Desperate, he tried to free himself from the lasso he thought was holding him prisoner, but his hand did not encounter any tangible link. When he looked towards his car he noticed other unusual transformations. This time the witness was so terrified that he lost consciousness. **Reference:** A.SCHNEIDER - H.

After a decade of nightmares and diffuse malaise, Mike Shea decides to call [Budd Hopkins](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/HopkinsBudd.html), the famous specialist in abduction cases. Hypnotic regression sessions allow him to remember the abduction he suffered after being flown over by the UFO. He suddenly saw on the side of the road 4 strange entities: 3 of large size \(about 1.80 m\) and one smaller. They looked like large elongated insects, as if wrapped in a dark plastic armor, and stood upright on their rather arched hind legs. Their two pairs of front legs were used to grasp. Their head was rounded and their eyes globular. He was taken inside the UFO where he underwent various more or less traumatic examinations.

First his car radio gets static and the engine begins to fail. Suddenly he notices a blue circle of light about 8 inches in diameter moving around inside his car. It passes in front of the dashboard and he sees it is transparent. Then a beam of blue light shines on him from the top of the hill he is driving up. He pulls over to avoid a collision, but the light keeps coming toward him. Overcome by a sensation of heat and stuffiness, he steps out of the car and hears a buzzing noise. The UFO is a gray structure about 25 feet thick and 36 feet wide, resembling two soup plates attached rim to rim. A tube stretches out from its base toward the ground. Pátero panics and runs about 100 feet when something holds him back. Turning, he sees that a rod of blue light from the UFO is moving above his car. The light seems to make the car transparent, allowing him to see the contents of the trunk, the wheel gears, the engine, and the interior of the body. Pátero faints. An hour later, two young men drive by and see him lying on the ground in gushing rainwater. They speed on into Catanduva and return with a policeman, Clóvis Queiros. Turning Pátero over, he regains consciousness and they take him to the hospital, where he is soon released. However, the next day he feels an itchiness on his back and stomach. Irritated patches of his skin turn purplish blue. Later, these spots turn yellow and eventually disappear. Subsequent medical examinations show no cause for the discoloration, and Pátero seems in good mental health. He experiences another encounter on April 26, which some investigators think might be a fantasy. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Close Encounter in Brazil,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201973%2005%2000%20-%20May-June.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 21, no. 6 \(May/June 1973\): 1, 3; “[Caso do Automovel que Ficou Transparente,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20094-98%20-%201973-1974.pdf)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 94/98 \(September 1973/June 1974\): 30–40; “[Caso de Onilson Pátero,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%2099-103%20-%201974-1975.pdf)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 99/103 \(July 1974/April 1975\): 2–18; Gordon Creighton, “[The Car That Turned Transparent,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201975%20V%2021%20N%203-4.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 21, no. 3/4 \(November 1975\): 14–15; Brazil 154–163 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4924 ### Event 34439 (76340E50) **Date:** 5/22/1973 **Description:** Sr. Onilson Patero, a 40-year-old salesman, was driving home to Catanduva in Sao Paolo, Brazil during a rainstorm. He had given a lift to a young hitchhiker and had dropped him off at Itajobi. At around 3:00 a.m., about seven miles from Catanduva on Highway 321, his car began to lose power and his car's radio filled with static interference. He noticed a circle of light moving about inside his car and he pulled over to the side of the road, thinking a truck was about to pass. He then saw a hovering object about 50 feet ahead and 40 feet above the road, and at the same time the interior of his car began to heat up. Patero felt a lack of air so he opened the door and stepped out. A "curtain of light" began to form around the object, and the heat and lack of air diminished. He could now see that the object was not a helicopter. He next saw a "tube of light" hit the car and, as it did, the car became transparent. He fainted. About an hour later two young men found Sr. Patero laying in the mud and rain. He recovered consciousness, crying out "they were trying to get me!" He was taken to a hospital in Catanduva and later released. Over the next several days he suffered physical ailments of an unknown cause. Eleven months later Patero became the principal experiencer in an abduction event in which he vanished for five days, turning up again in Colatina 700 km away. Under regressive hypnosis he described one of his abductors as the same individual he had given a ride to in this case. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They had their arms raised in the air, and they seemed to have appeared from nowhere. He slammed on the truck's brakes and came to a stop only a short distance away from them. At first he thought they might be children, but close up he could see that they were perfectly proportioned adults but only two feet tall. They had light brown skin and black hair, but he couldn't recall any details about what clothing they were wearing. As he got out of his truck the little figures began to scatter to the sides of the road, disappearing into the underbrush along the highway. When he turned to go back to his truck he saw it suddenly engulfed in blue flame, and in a matter of 30 minutes the truck and its normally non-flammable contents were reduced to ashes and fused metal. Two other motorists stopped to witness the conflagration. According to the witness, two days after the fire metal fragments that had been collected from the site spontaneously burst into blue flames and were likewise reduced to ashes. The witness compared the appearance of the little beings to stories of little people from Mexican folklore, called the Chaneques. Investigators later learned that two more trucks were similarly destroyed and that in one case, UFOs were seen. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Through her balcony window she sees a reflection of some kind in her walled-in backyard. When she goes to her porch door, she sees a flying object hovering above the roof of one of the rented buildings on the ground floor in the back some 50 feet away. The object is white-metallic and luminous on the bottom, about 6.5–13 feet wide and 3–6 feet high, with a kind of credenza behind which three entities can be seen. They are small with large round heads, big eyes, protruding lips, dark brown skin, small ears, long flat noses, small arms, and wearing a cap with a ball in the center. Each holds a device like a flashlight that emits a beam of different colors: green on the left, red in the middle, and orange on the right. The object emits a noise like a motor as it sways above the building, then after a few minutes it moves away beyond the horizon. Mrs. Geni goes back to work, but she now has pains in her knees, legs, and head. She screams in pain, and the young woman who rents the building in the back arrives to help. She also has heard the motor noise and confirms that Mrs. Geni’s face is swollen with bloodshot eyes that last for 3 days. At about 5:00 a.m., Mrs. Geni suffers a prolapsed uterus, for which she has to undergo surgery on June 8. She gradually loses hearing in her right ear, her vision deteriorates, and spots appear on her skin. A clock in the kitchen begins to behave erratically. In the backyard, a dwarf coconut tree and a jabuticaba tree both lose their leaves prematurely. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Caso dos Anões de São José do Rio Preto,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20121-125%20-%201978.pdf)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 121/125 \(March/Dec. 1978\): 15–19; Brazil 163–166 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4926 ### Event 34454 (28D03D15) **Date:** 5/27/1973 **Description:** At 2:00 a.m. a dark, slow moving, silent cylindrical object blocked out stars as it moved across the sky in Feignies, France.

When she looked out she saw a luminous flying object approaching her property. The object circled her garden and hovered above the wall. Ms. Lisboa, only a few meters distant, could see three identical looking figures of small stature through the transparent upper portion. They were behind a kind of "parapet" which hid them from the waist down. Each one was directly a beam of light down as if searching for something. Then their beams simultaneously converged on the witness, immediately paralyzing her. Feeling some pain and dizziness, she was nevertheless able to call out for help to her neighbor, but the object departed before she was able to respond.

When her neighbor arrived, she found Ms. Lisboa's face swollen and her eyes bloodshot. Her body was painful, particularly in the joints and especially in the knees, but she continued working until the pain returned and she was forced to call her neighbor again. Her physiological symptoms worsened and she was hospitalized for what the doctors labelled a prolapsed uterus. She had had a gynecological test six months before and had been healthy.

It was light silvery blue and shimmering, tapered like a tear drop with a flange running along its topside from one end to the other and there were no windows.

Each report differs somewhat but all have certain details in common. The common thread of the reports is the encounter with one or more hairy creatures, resembling monkeys, with glowing eyes, prominent ears, large noses, carnivorous teeth and long arms. Where Gordon was able to take footprints, they were very large. The encounters usually took place in wooded areas or near rural villages. During the observation of these creatures, domestic animals usually remained calm, but in the period before and after, animals and small children were very agitated: cows mooed, dogs barked, children cried all night. These creatures have often been seen in association with UFO sightings, seen entering or exiting a UFO, and occasionally telepathic messages from these creatures have been reported. On three occasions the witnesses shot at them from close range, which caused the instant disappearance of the entity, in a flash of light.

It descended from the sky until it came much closer and appeared to be a large, illuminated spherical object, hovering in a spot just above some trees beyond her patio. As it hovered, a square opening appeared on the side facing her, like a "garage doors opening." Illuminated brightly from within, she observed a human-like figure approach the opening from one side, cross over, and then bend down to do something. When she uttered an exclamation he abruptly looked up and out at her and peered directly at her, leaning out of the opening. He was visible from the knees up and wore a tight-fitting garment. When he dropped his head down to look at her she could see that he was tall, with a large head and with hands that appeared to be busy working instruments. She next heard a humming sound, and saw a second, smaller object approaching to her left. It passed a post on the patio and abruptly disappeared. She then looked back toward the first object and found it too had vanished. She then fell asleep and when she came to later, found herself lying in a different position.

Under hypnotic regression, she described seeing the same figure appear before her on the patio. She then describes in vague uncertain terms how she was told not to be afraid, and then "taken somewhere" by being floated upwards. She recalled seeing a dog that had been constantly barking also floating in the air. She was in some dark "enclosed" place where she couldn't see and an instrument of some sort was placed on her head, which made her uncomfortable. There were others around her but she "felt" them rather than saw them. She had the impression they were "talking" to each other in a language she could not understand. She also had the impression there were two people present. When she awoke on the patio, it was some 4 or 5 hours later. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Suddenly a shrill cry. Looking up they saw, coming from who knows where, a huge giant walking heavily towards them. He stopped six meters away. He seemed white, with short hair plastered with the mud of the river. He was of very strong build and measured about 2 m. The witnesses fled to go and warn the police, who found traces. **Reference:** Jean FERGUSON: "The Humanoids..." - ed.

Richards, 41, and his daughter Vanea, 16, hear a loud, persistent, thrashing sound outside their house trailer in Columbia, Missouri. Richards moves to the window and sees two bright, silver-white light beams about 5 feet apart from each other and 50 feet away from his window. The beams disappear, and a glowing bright oval form appears, about 12–15 feet in diameter, lighting up the area. The thrashing sound is apparently made by trees moving as if blown by wind, and after the oval form appears, this sound suddenly ceases. As Richards moves from window to window, he notices his dogs lying very still near the corner of the trailer that is nearest to the oval object. The dogs are large security animals that are not easily frightened. Richards thinks it strange they are not barking at all the noise and the bright lights. The object moves away to 200 feet from the window and hovers, and now, less bright to the eye, the witnesses can see a blue band of light and an orange glow extending around the outer edge of the oval. The oval moves back near its original position and disappears by growing smaller before police arrive at 1:45 a.m. Later searches uncover broken tree limbs, damaged foliage, scorched leaves up to a height of 35 feet, and impressions on the ground as deep as 2 feet. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Columbia, Missouri: June 28, 1973](http://www.nicap.org/ar-730628dir.htm)”; Ted Phillips, “[Landing at Columbia, Missouri,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201973%20V%2019%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 19, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1973\): 18–25; Richard H.

During the incident, which lasted 55 minutes, their dogs were strangely quiet. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Columbia (Missouri) Tribune, June 28, 1973; Skylook, September 1973; CUFOS case investigation by Ted Phillips; Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, p. 269; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. 264 and 281 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3716 ### Event 34524 (121A4399) **Date:** 6/28/1973 **Description:** At 9:00 p.m. Mr. & Mrs. Sanders saw a cone-shaped UFO with multicolored lights at treetop level while driving on Route 51 in Sandoval, Illinois.

Jean Begot, a technician from the CNRS, was taking pictures. Upon development, one of the photos showed a bright point in the night of the eclipse. (15 km from the plane) Upon magnification, this "star" took on the size of a flying saucer. This bright point had been observed by the entire crew: planet or saucer? (Robert ROUSSEL: "OVNI, the end of the secret" - Belfond 1978, p. 20) IN REALITY: According to Pierre Guérin, a well-known astrophysicist and an experienced ufologist, the bright spot has absolutely nothing mysterious about it. That day at 11:12, the swarm of Beta Taurid meteors was indeed passing over the equatorial African zone and was therefore clearly visible. René Fouéré from GEPAN thinks it was a development fault, such as one caused by the presence of a small air bubble. **Reference:** A. SCHNEIDER-H. MALTHANER: "Le dossier secret des OVNI", ed.

Suddenly we observed an object flying from north to south, in our direction. Its speed was slow and no sound was heard. Looking at it more closely, we noticed that it resembled a large shuttle and that its two ends were pointed. Its entire body was transparent like glass. In its front part there were lights inside as bright as an electric arc. The middle and back were divided into four floors with portholes neatly arranged like those of a large boat. At 7000 meters altitude, it seemed enormous to us. If it had landed on the ground, it would have been at least as high as a two-story building. Throughout its journey over our heads, it made no noise. We immediately alerted the other fighters of the barracks and everyone came out and looked in amazement. (...) Our observation lasted in all five or six minutes. The object disappeared in the distance. (July 1973) **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials". ed.

One hundred meters above here was a circular object about 10 meters (33 feet) in diameter, emitting a blue glow. It had a dome on the upper past and a row of small windows around it, through which a dim light came from the inside. There were some "strange figures" looking out from these windows. The domed craft remained motionless for several seconds until a commercial aircraft flew by. The UFO followed it for a few moments before flying out over the sea. A newspaperman and a group of office employees of the Argentine National Airline also observed the UFO. Later that evening, at 7:15 p.m. Sr. Nahuel Villegas succeeded in seeing some shadows moving around inside the same or similar object while looking through his telescope at 200x magnification. The object was at a higher altitude, and remained in the sky for four hours, during which it was seen by hundreds of witnesses. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Fenomenologia, no. 21, citing personal communication from Sr. Daniel Veron; La Nacion, July 11, 1973; David F.

As he got closer, he noticed that the object was floating 50cm from the ground, that it was a ball 2m in diameter of a blue-aluminum color with a nearly blinding shine. The object was horizontally encircled by a dark green band and at the top of the ball emerged a vertical cylinder 4-5m high and 50cm wide. The cylinder was finished with a funnel-shaped form also 4-5m high. This object rotated on itself in 2-3 seconds and swayed with an amplitude of about 50cm. Cautiously, he stepped back a few paces when he heard a clap, like a metal door. He turned around and indeed saw in the lower part of the ball an opening about 1m high and 60cm wide and saw at the same time that the thickness of the wall was indeed 5cm. In the frame appeared 30 seconds later a being of human appearance that was floating outside 50cm from the ground, completely dressed in black from feet to head, except for the details that were ash-colored: the wrists and hands were smooth, the shoes 20cm long, 5cm wide and 3cm thick, a band around the neck 6cm wide, openings for the eyes and mouth. The fabric was of the bubbled kind, like several juxtaposed half-spheres. The being was connected to the craft by two transparent cables 5cm wide coming from the shoes towards the inside of the UFO. In 5 strides it advanced 3m towards the witness who, terrified, ran away.

It is a silvery half-egg with glowing orange-and-blue overtones. It begins a slow descent toward the roof, and when it is only 5 feet away, one of the witnesses yells for it to stop. The object stops, hovers briefly, and shoots away straight upward. One of the witnesses hears the same hum at about the same time two days later, and the same object appears, moving down the street. The object is only 3–4 feet above the pavement and covers the width of the road. The witness approaches it, and it stops at the end of his driveway. He walks toward it and gets only 4–5 feet from it without feeling any heat. When his dog barks, he backs away. The object waits a moment, then slowly moves 20 feet down the street, quickly rises, and vanishes rapidly at a 45° angle. \(Michael D. Swords, “Unusual Experiences from the Timmerman Files,” IUR 27, no. 2 \(Summer 2002\): 23–24\) Between August 3–6 — Night. A woman and her children are watching the stars in their backyard in San Antonio, Texas. Two “very perfect” cumulus clouds move into view low above them. A perfectly round sphere with a green glow slowly emerges from the top of the cloud on the left. Soon they see lightning going back and forth from the two clouds but never toward the ground. One lightning bolt hits the sphere and red sparks fly out, whereupon the sphere slowly reenters the cloud. The clouds remain stationary for 35–40 minutes until the sphere disappears, then they float on. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Herbert S.

At around ten o'clock on this night, while driving up a hill somewhere in the vicinity of Indio, California she began to receive pictures in her mind and had a sense of presence. These "images" came in grays and browns, and she tried to counter them by thinking of bright colors. She found the gray images unpleasant, and had the sense of an interior, with gray green walls, which had three vague "forms" in it. Believing she was daydreaming and tired, she forced her concentration back to her driving when she noticed colors reflecting on the dashboard and asked her brother if there was something in the sky. Both of them briefly observed a light over the highway changing colors from blue, to green, to red, to yellow, and then to a brilliant white. Then it vanished. It was in view for less than a minute.

Her brother was very excited. The trip continued and seemed to be uneventful. However, later under hypnotic regression she was asked to examine her image of a gray interior more closely. She described the gray-green walls, with at least one black line, or slot, on the back wall. She was with three vague shapes or shadows. It didn't feel like a pleasant place, and she felt she had had another such experience at another time. She was asked to go back to that experience and she found herself in another room with a window looking out on an orange sky. There was a white bench in the room, and the room seemed very sterile. Then she found herself in a huge place with a domed ceiling, and she was standing beside a 20 foot high crystal, set at an angle so that it pointed towards the sky. It was green on the bottom half and it revolved. There were other similar crystals in this place, about five in all, and they were hooked up to a large piece of machinery that was similar to a generator. The crystal was connected to the machine by a rod. The whole room hummed. There were two other people with her; one dressed in gray, looking older with grayish hair. The younger man, wearing black, is taller. They pointed out a formula to her, which was on the wall. It was composed of script letters. She was brought out of the trance and given a post hypnotic suggestion that she will recall the formula and be able to reproduce it on a piece of drawing paper, which she does. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He was wearing a two-piece garment of dark green denim like material with an "anorak" type hood that almost completely covered his face. He held a silver object resembling a flashlight. The man shouted in a resonant voice; "Move on! Go away!" McClure shouted, "Will you harm us?" There was no reply, he then asked, "Will you come back?" The answer was "Yes." Another member of the group followed this man into the copse, where he vanished while the witness attention was diverted for a moment. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The object hovered just over the ridge on the west side of the Housatonic River, and they stopped and got out for a better look. They were joined by another couple, a boy and girl also driving back from Westchester to Connecticut. Meanwhile on Spooner Hill, in Kent, Connecticut to the east, a witness on his way to visit his friends, a young married couple, saw the same object and when he arrived at his friend's house, he called them outside. By this time the object had dropped behind a ridge, although they could still see its lights shining over the crest of the hill. They got into the witness car and drove down the hill to Route 7, where they met the four younger people. All seven then drove north into town to bring back two additional witnesses. The large object was no longer visible, but they now saw a dozen or so smaller whitish lights maneuvering in a circular pattern just this side of the ridge. These lights then separated into a single line and proceeded north toward Mt. Algo, just southwest of the main section of Kent. The witnesses got into their cars and followed the lights toward Kent. The two additional witnesses were dropped off in town while the other seven turned west on Rte. 341 and crossed the bridge over the river, heading toward Mt. Algo. There they turned south on Schaghticoke Road, which runs along the base of the mountain, to Bonu's Field, an open spot about a mile south. The group assembled there briefly but was unable to see anything. Meanwhile, at about the same time, a separate group of three teenage girls, camping out in a backyard along the Housatonic, observed a line of lights descending Mt. Algo on its steep, north side. The witnesses at Bonu's field had gotten back in their cars and drove north again to the junction of Rte 341, where they discovered a small parked white car that had not been there a few minutes earlier. They parked their cars and the two younger boys got out and asked the occupants of the white car (two unidentified girls) if they had seen anything unusual. They said that they were waiting for a group of hikers who had told them an hour earlier that they were "hiking over the mountain" and that the girls should meet them there.

Just then a group of 15 to 20 "hikers" came jogging down Schaghticoke Road from the same direction the young people had just driven (they had not seen anyone on the road). Each "hiker" had a lighted hat like a miner's hat on his head and they all carried poles or "rods." They were mumbling or "chanting" and approached in a double column. They did not answer the boy's questions as they passed on either side of them, when asked where they'd come from. According to the young people, the "hikers" apparently turned right at Route 341 and headed towards Kent. However, when they all got back in their cars and drove after them, the "hikers" were nowhere to be seen--as though they had disappeared into thin air. According to the two young men and the younger couple, there were at least two hours they could not account for. The three older people could not recall what they did or where they went after the "hikers" passed them. Hypnotic regression was attempted, but the results are not described. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Budd Hopkins, 1981 MUFON Conference Proceedings, p. 47; David F.

Each "hiker" had a lighted hat like a miner's hat on his head and they all carried poles or "rods." They were mumbling or "chanting" and approached in a double column. They did not answer the boy's questions as they passed on either side of them, when asked where they'd come from. According to the young people, the "hikers" apparently turned right at Route 341 and headed towards Kent. However, when they all got back in their cars and drove after them, the "hikers" were nowhere to be seen--as though they had disappeared into thin air. According to the two young men and the younger couple, there were at least two hours they could not account for. The three older people could not recall what they did or where they went after the "hikers" passed them. Hypnotic regression was attempted, but the results are not described. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The object was very close to the ground and appeared to be about to land. They resumed their trip and after awhile the object, which continued to pace them, beamed a light in their direction. One of the passengers said she had the impression something or someone was trying to contact her mentally. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Inforespace, August 1975, No. 22; translated from the French by Jacques Deschenes **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5918 ### Event 34757 (2DF0C1AC) **Date:** 9/14/1973 **Location:** BELGIUM, Cuesmes **Description:** (Translated from French) It was 7:45 PM, night had just fallen, Mr. Plume was driving his daughter Sonia to Mons. "Suddenly, at the exit of a bend, we saw in front of us on the left of the road an immobile object at about 200 m of height, almost vertically above an electric cabin, at less than 200 m from us. It was like a flower pot of the size of a small car, with at its upper part a kind of saw of which one could only see the teeth. At the extremities of this part two short oblique antennas. The whole was of a vivid orange color. Four dazzling yellow lights on the antennas and at the base of the object were twinkling. The upper part under the teeth was more clear and blurry, yellow-orange. The teeth were brownish. An orange clear and blurry halo was crowning the object between the antennas. It was animated by light vibrations. A few seconds later, arrived at the height of the electric cabin, the object inclined towards the right and moved away towards Ciply. Its light was decreasing in intensity and its contours were fading." **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976 - p. 73 à 76 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2726 ### Event 34758 (1266CA13) **Date:** 9/14/1973 **Location:** SONORA, CA **Description:** Woman sees large saucer / bedroom window.

The upper edge seemed jagged and had sparkling antenna-like protrusions at either end. The object was dazzling to look at and seemed to be vibrating slightly.

It is completely silent. Her watch has stopped, and her spine begins to tingle. She hears a jet plane in the distance, and the light goes out. She hears an “electric whirring” and the green ball shoots straight up. Her dogs return to normal behavior, and her watch starts up again when she returns to the house. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** UFOFiles2, [p.](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n143/mode/2up) [86](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n143/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4940 ### Event 34772 (D87C0741) **Date:** 9/18/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) [Jimmy Carter](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/CarterJamesEarl.html) submits to the [NICAP](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/NICAP.html) his testimony of an UFO sighting in October 1969.

It made no sound, and there were many witnesses at the border post. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 10122; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 133 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6093 ### Event 34785 (DE05BCA5) **Date:** 9/20/1973 **Location:** PORTUGAL, Alija-Vila Réal (Oporto) **Description:** (Translated from French) Between 10:30 PM and midnight, Serge Ribeiro Lisboa, Maria Filomena Costa Lisboa, and Maria Carmela Santos Costa were travelling together in a car. Near Sao Laurenço and Tua, they heard an unusual buzzing coming from outside the car, and a faint light moving to their right. The driver stopped and all the passengers got out. They then saw a white, luminous object, like a disk, emitting a powerful red light from its upper part. These flashes allowed them to see part of the structure, which appeared to be metallic, light aluminum. The object was small: 2 m in diameter, 1 m high, and seemed to be at 300 m altitude. Feeling uneasy, the witnesses got back in the car and continued their journey to the town of Alija. There, the engine had some difficulty with its speed, for no apparent reason, and they heard the buzzing again, with a sound of modulated, brief cadence, without any light being seen. After a journey of 4 or 5 km, they saw an unusual object in the headlights on the road. A strange cylindrical object emitting a bright green color. The driver slowed down, fearing it was some kind of explosive, and narrowly avoided the object. At the same time, the passengers saw two human forms lying on their backs on the embankment. They were wearing lead-silver colored suits, were 1.5 m tall, and had spherical helmets with a horizontal rectangular window at eye level and an antenna 50 cm long emitting red glows at its end. The observation was brief. Frightened, the driver accelerated and as the car passed the cylindrical object, the two humanoid forms rose from the ground, in a rigid manner, without any movement of their arms or legs. The witnesses then saw a kind of backpack on the backs of the humanoids as they rose and disappeared above the car.

They stopped and, out of curiosity, decided to follow. The shapes sped up and the boys noticed an odor like burning oil. When they reached the top of the hill, a quarter mile from the road, the figures had vanished; above them, however, they observed a small, round orange light, like a road-crossing beacon. It vanished in about a minute. There had been no path through the woods, and the three objects (or figures) appeared to glide straight through the undergrowth, leaving no traces. The odor of oil was the only trace left behind. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Though several people reported seeing something, the main witnesses were members of the Williamson family from the town of Sidney. They saw at least one humanoid with large red glowing eyes, a gray face, long hair, pointed ears, and a hooked nose. It was dressed in a brown shirt and black pants and had a small brown cap on its head. It walked with a limp and had one hand missing. It was said to leave no tracks and to leap 50-60 feet in a single bound. It had a metal medallion on its chest, which was said to be used for communication and disappearing. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The plane flies up over the side of the road and hovers above some trees. Then it changes into a cigar shape with lights. The driver gets out of his truck to watch. The cigar moves off then returns with a new, round shape. It lights up with many multicolored lights and moves above a nearby house. It makes a low, “loop-loop-loop” thumping sound. Then a large, bright, square light descends and swings from the other object. It approaches the truck, then swings back and forth. He tries to jump back in the truck but apparently passes out. He later notices he has some marks on his hip and shoulder. He does remember seeing the UFO change from a round shape into a triangle, and then move out of sight. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Michael D.

Billings is a deputy crew commander at the Francis E. Warren AFB Golf launch control capsule missile site northwest of Sidney, Nebraska. Over UHF radio, he hears the crew at LCC India, southwest of Sunol, Nebraska, order its security guards to investigate an alarm at one of India’s 10 launch sites. The guards find that the inner security alarm has also been triggered, meaning that something has penetrated the security fence surrounding the site. They find a large, bright UFO hovering above the site. One minute later, the UFO moves off slowly for several thousand feet then zooms off at a high rate of speed. All crews on duty that night are told not to say anything to the public or media about anything they heard on UHF radio that night. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nukes 338–339 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4942 ### Event 34806 (F1125B51) **Date:** 9/23/1973 **Description:** In Tyler, Texas a truck driver going to work this morning at five a.m. saw a small "airplane" change shape into a cigar, hover for awhile, and then change shape again into an elongated balloon with lights.

They saw what seemed to be a silvery glow coming from the center of the mist. and the witness felt strongly attracted to it. As she got closer she saw a beautiful silvery object on the ground. She described it as a "starship." She went inside the object and saw several of her friends being led towards different sections of the craft. She was taken to a large circular room of a transparent blue color with two transparent doors at each end. The occupants of the UFO were all apparently human or human-like beings and beautiful in appearance. Through a large window she saw a woman sitting at a communications console. The witness sat on a chair in the center of the room and ate from a bowl of fruit on a table. A man entered the room and walked into what appeared to be a circular shower stall and removed some dirty coveralls. When the stall lit up the man then emerged wearing shiny clean coveralls. The witness felt that she had experienced some type of mind control onboard the object, which changed her life. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It was 5:30 PM, the sun was already low, the sky covered with a few clouds, not a breath of wind. He noticed a large "mushroom nest" and bent down to pick it, but when he looked up he saw two "children" coming out of the bushes 30 m away from him. He called them to come pick mushrooms with him. But they were not children: they were small people 1.2 m tall, with regular and fine features, wearing a beret, dressed in a tight beige jumpsuit, their hands were bare, but Antoine did not see their feet, hidden in the grass. Yet one detail struck him: they had no ears. At Antoine's call they looked surprised, emitted a kind of laugh, then disappeared into the bushes. A few seconds later, an oval shape, gray-blue matte, without visible opening, rose from behind the bushes. It measured 5 m long and about 2 m wide, it rose to 20 m, dragging the dead leaves up to 6 m from the ground. It remained motionless for a brief moment, then flew horizontally at a dizzying speed towards Mont Ventoux. All this was done without the slightest noise, except for a slight whistle during the vertical ascent. There were traces on the ground at the supposed landing site. **Reference:** Pierre DELVAL: "Contacts of the 4th Type" - De Vecchi 1979, pp. 172-175 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2728 ### Event 34820 (7EE2688A) **Date:** 9/27/1973 **Time:** 17:30 **Location:** BEDARRIDES, FR **Description:** 2 small humanoids (or Greys) gather (mushrooms?) / woods.

As he grabbed something from the ground a second identical-looking being joined the first one from the woods beyond. They looked human and wore beige coveralls that covered up their wrists and neck; their feet were obscured by high grass. Their arms were slender and their hands normal. Each wore a black beret on his head. Thinking they were children, the witness called out to them, whereupon they laughed aloud, then turned and fled into the brush behind them. A few seconds later, the witness saw a dull bluish-gray oval-shaped object, about five meters wide, rise up beyond the trees and ascend to a height of 20 feet, making a slight whistling sound. There it paused briefly, then departed toward the northeast rapidly and in total silence. At the landing site, a bush and some grass had been flattened, suggesting that the UFO had been hovering a foot or so above the ground. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The humanoid was carrying a large luminous sphere in its hands. The girls ran off hysterically into their house. The father of one of the girls then went into the woods in search of the creature and stayed there for over an hour. When he returned he refused to talk about what he had seen in the woods. During the period of time he was in the woods several people watched a silvery object hovering over the woods. At one point it emitted a beam of light into the woods. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Stan Gordon, MUFON UFO Symposium 1974 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6384 ### Event 34827 (72A0D32D) **Date:** 9/28/1973 **Time:** 18:30 **Location:** NORTH MELBOURNE, VCT **Description:** Several separate observer(s).

R. were camping near a lake--Lac-aux-Bleuets, Quebec, Canada--when they heard a loud engine sound coming from a nearby field. When they went to look the men spotted an oval-shaped, metallic object on the ground. The UFO was silvery in color and emitted flourescent-like orange lights that changed colors to blue, and red. A strange humanoid figure, metallic or robot-like in appearance, stood next to the object. It was wearing either a reflective metallic suit or was itself made out of metal. The being's body emitted bright silvery flashes. While on the ground the object emitted a sound resembling that of a transformer. Soon the strange character disappeared inside the object, which then rose up, moving up and down like a yo-yo, it then accelerated and disappeared at high speed. They estimated the craft to have been about 600 feet in diameter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The site was in a field of waist-high weeds about a quarter mile south of Hall Road, west of Outerbelt, Ohio. Weeds had been crushed to the ground in a semi-oval area 20 feet x 30 feet. There were no scorch marks. The object had swooped down in a zigzag pattern and dropped below trees. Several dozen other sightings were reported from the area. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Robert Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, case 82; Francis L.

This time the means employed were much more important, in proportion to the stakes. Eight satellites were launched in two weeks, the first three (Cosmos 596, 597, 598) were recovered after 6 days of observation. For the others, the delay ranged from 7 to 13 days.

It was 5:30, still dark. His engine had some hiccups in a slight curve and stopped. He resumed his journey pushing the moped. As he came out of the curve, he was blinded by a strong bright white light and a few meters further he could make out a bright shape blocking the whole road. He was scared. He was completely terrified when he saw a being approach him and put his left hand on his right shoulder. "Where are you going?" the being asked. "To work" Chubert replied. "I'll be back" said the other. "But now don't look at what I'm going to do". Real exchange or telepathy? In any case, Chubert obeyed and turned around. A few seconds later the craft flew away with a "buzzing of a bee swarm". 3m. **Reference:** GARREAU and LAVIER: "Face aux extra-terrestres" - DELARGE 1975- J'ai Lu, p. 150, 151 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2742 ### Event 34842 (FD93D29B) **Date:** 10/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) In the October issue of *Pursuit*, Hubert Malthaner, after a long investigation into the metal cube discovered in 1885, indicates that the famous "cube" had never actually disappeared from the Salzburg museum \(as was believed in 1910\), since it had in fact always been in the Vöcklabrück regional museum \(Austria\). He supports his claims with a photograph of the cube, showing that it is far from being as artificially-appearing as it had been proclaimed. He finally indicates that an analysis carried out in 1986 \(1886?\) at the Vienna Natural History Museum had established that the object was simply a mass of cast iron. Finally, it also seems that the cube was not found in a mine but by a worker from a foundry who was breaking coal blocks **Reference:** Nolane 1998, pages 15-16 **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1973.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2613 ### Event 34843 (C9190B25) **Date:** 10/1973 (approximate) **Time:** 22:00 **Location:** NEAR DIONS, GARD **Description:** Shepherd. 8M saucer just over ground.

Sgt. Michael D. Jenkins of the 96th Security Police Squadron is stationed at Dyess AFB southwest of Abilene, Texas, when a major alert goes off at the base after a large ball of light is reported hovering 100–150 feet above igloo bunkers housing nuclear weapons. Twelve police with M-16s are sent to the Weapons Storage Area, and an incoming C-130 is asked to do a fly-by of the area to get a look at the object. Three K-9 teams that normally patrol the perimeter report that their dogs are afraid and acting up. An order to fire on the object comes from Strategic Air Command Headquarters Offutt AFB near Bellevue, Nebraska. Jenkins hears gunfire and sees a bluish-white streak as the object speeds off. As it leaves, it drops a trail of “angel hair” all the way from the weapons area to the southwest perimeter of the base. The angel hair hangs around on the area ropes and buildings for three days. On the third day it rains and the material dissolves, completely disappearing. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Robert L.

Michael D. Jenkins, 96th Security Police Squadron at Dyess AFB, TX worked security over nuclear-armed B-52 bombers. The base had a nuclear weapons storage area as well. Jenkins states he and his squadron were ordered to draw arms from the armory and patrol after a large spherical UAP was seen over the weapons storage area. Jenkins states he heard an order to “move it out of the area,” afterward hearing gunfire and seeing a “streak of bluish-white light moving at high speed” out of the base. “It was the UFO getting out of there,” he states. Jenkins and others were told not to speak about the incident under penalty of court-martial. Jenkins states the next day he saw a Top Secret teletype that chemical analysis had been done on a thin, strand-like physical substance recovered outside on the base property. Neither Congress nor the American people at the time were aware that physical evidence was being recovered after UAP events. * [https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/ufo-fired-upon-as-it-hovered-over-nuclear-bomb-storage-facility](https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/ufo-fired-upon-as-it-hovered-over-nuclear-bomb-storage-facility) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_143 ### Event 34853 (4AE43F2C) **Date:** 10/1/1973 **Location:** ROGERS, ARK **Description:** 1 observer.

Moments later she unexpectedly found herself inside a circular control room, onboard a V-shaped craft. A beautiful tall blond woman greeted her. She wore shiny pale-blue pants, a jeweled scarf, and a headband. The woman introduced herself then a taller man wearing a silvery white suit appeared and introduced himself as the captain. There was a metallic pole in the center of the craft that flashed in multi-colored hues of light; and it seemed to be part of the flight control mechanism. She was taken to a soft contour chair and given a peach-colored liquid to drink. She was later shown a huge viewing screen on which she was given different messages. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The husband assumed it was the police looking for cattle thieves reported in the area. At around 11:35am, while hanging laundry behind the house, Mrs. R.N. saw a thick smoke on a wet, plowed land. She called her husband, as this smoke in that place was rather unusual. In the same direction, the witnesses saw a yellow-orange dome about 25m in diameter with blurry edges, as if submerged in the fog. The object was 500m from the ground and a yellow-orange "bulldozer" emerged from it and moved away 65m from the large machine, to the edge of the stream near its source. Then there was a back and forth of 5 small figures, 1m tall, wearing bright orange suits, moving quickly, very busy and as if in a hurry to finish a job. The small craft moved again following the stream and stopped 100m further. The observation lasted between 20 and 25 minutes, but the witnesses went about their business, coming to see from time to time "if the children" were still there! At around 11:55am everything had disappeared. The witnesses' daughter went to see on the spot and found a large circle 18m in diameter and a smaller one 4m in diameter, where the grass was flattened and burned in some places. As soon as she was back home, she was taken with headaches and vomiting. **Reference:** Inforespace n° 22 - August 1975 - p. 13 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2731 ### Event 34906 (9F57BAAA) **Date:** 10/6/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Start of the Yom Kippur War.

Later, at 11:30 a.m., the woman is hanging clothes on a line in her backyard when she notices a column of smoke rising from fields in the north. She calls over two workmen doing repairs at her home, and they see a yellowish object like a tent near the smoke. Soon a square, yellow object resembling a bulldozer emerges from the tent and travels about 180 feet to a small spring. Between the two objects, moving around in the field, are five “little people” about 4 feet tall performing various actions. Assuming them to be boy scouts, the witnesses notice they are wearing some kind of helmets and clothing that is the same color as the tent. The witnesses return to their work and 20 minutes later someone notices that the objects and figures have disappeared. The couple’s daughter returns in half an hour and goes to check the location. She finds a large, circular patch of burned and crushed grass about 45 feet in diameter, as well as two tracklike marks, each about 6 inches wide. Returning, the daughter feels ill with headache and nausea. A month later, UFO investigators arrive and find additional marks in the shape of a triangle. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wido Hoville, “[Un atterrissage á Saint-Mathias de](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/UFO%20Quebec/UFO%20Quebec%20-%20No%2001%20-%201975.pdf) [Chambly,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/UFO%20Quebec/UFO%20Quebec%20-%20No%2001%20-%201975.pdf)” UFO-Quebec, no. 1 \(1975\): 6–9; Chris Rutkowski and Geoff Dittman, The Canadian UFO Report, Dundurn Press, 2006, pp. 106–107; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1973-10-06-canada-stmathias.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1973-10-06-canada-stmathias.htm) November 7, 2007 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4945 ### Event 34913 (C7F53316) **Date:** 10/6/1973 **Description:** Shortly after midnight a married couple in St.-Mathias-de-Chambly, Quebec saw bright lights on their property. Later that morning they observed a dome like a "tent" about a third of a mile away. A second, smaller object emerged from it and moved across the ground to a distance of about 200 feet from them. Five figures of small stature, wearing bright yellow garments and helmets, moved quickly back and forth between the two objects for a time. When the witnesses next looked, both the objects and the humanoids had vanished. Ground traces were found at the sight the next day consisting of three rectangular imprints arranged in a triangle with 34 foot sides. There was a 50 foot in diameter circle of burnt grass, and a second circle 12 feet in diameter next to a spring. The daughter, who investigated, subsequently suffered from nausea and headaches. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Canadian UFO Report, Spring 1974, p. 22; APRO Bulletin, September-October 1974, p. 1; David F.

Most sightings occurred between Dayton and Cincinnati, and were all classified as "unofficial" reports by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base officials. None were detected on radar, apparently because they were flying too low. A New Lebanon Township, Ohio police officer reported his sighting shortly after 8 p.m. "He didn't want to say he saw it, but he said it," Montgomery County Sheriff's deputy Michael Sullivan reported. "The officer said it was oblong and covered with lights. It appeared stationary in the sky about treetop level for several minutes until he tried to shine his cruiser spot light on it," Sullivan said. "It then zoomed toward him and then shot straight up in the air... after he turned out his light...and disappeared." Sullivan said the UFO sightings lasted from a fleeting moment to twelve minutes. "They would be behind the trees and come up and fly away...as if you startled it or something," he said. A spokesman at Wright-Patterson AFB said there would be no attempt to investigate the sightings unless there was an "imminent danger." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UPI, Columbus Dispatch, October 11, 1973; Cincinnati Post, October 12, 1973; NICAP UFO Investigator, November 1973, p. 4 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6725 ### Event 34939 (7AD6C800) **Date:** 10/10/1973 **Description:** At 11:00 p.m. in Avery Estates, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana a luminous red UFO passed overhead, causing a CB radio to stop working.

The object was already very close and was descending towards them, making a humming sound. Suddenly, an opening appeared and three pale, reddish beings floated out of it. Without having to use force, they grabbed the witnesses by the arms: two of them took hold of Hickson, the third of Parker. They felt themselves being lifted off the ground and guided towards the opening of the object. From then on, the young Parker could not remember exactly what happened to them. Hickson recounts that inside there was a white luminescence without a visible source. He floated like the beings and stayed there for between 20 and 30 minutes, under the gaze of what looked like a large eye. Various instruments that he could not identify were visible, but there were neither seats nor windows, only this opening. He was unable to move, scared to death. The humanoids moved around him and he was apparently observed by an electronic device. In the end, the creatures brought the two men back, still floating, to where they had found them. These beings, about 5 feet tall, did not seem to be dressed. They emitted a faint humming sound. According to Parker: they looked like ghosts, were naked and their skin was wrinkled. Hickson estimated the dimensions of the craft to be 14 feet long by 8 feet wide. It suddenly disappeared. The witnesses were convinced that no one would believe them, but after reflection they decided to alert the authorities. The police officer declared: "they were so scared they were on the verge of a heart attack". The men were interrogated again and again in the following days and gave another part of the observation under hypnosis. **Reference:** as well as all other authors, of course **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976 - pp. 146-148 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2732 ### Event 34941 (953AF472) **Date:** 10/11/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Larry Booth reported seeing a UFO in Pascagoula \(Mississippi\). **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1973.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2617 ### Event 34942 (0DE16387) **Date:** 10/11/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) In the evening, many viewers in the Pascagoula area call to report interference on their television sets. **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1973.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2618 ### Event 34943 (F03AA4D0) **Date:** 10/11/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) [Abduction of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker in Pascagoula](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/1973-10-11\_Pascagoula.html) \(Mississippi\).

Both turn and are terrified to see a 10-foot-wide, 8-foot-high, glowing egg-shaped object with blue lights at its front hovering just above the ground about 40 feet from the riverbank. As the men, frozen with fright, watch, a door appears in the object and three strange beings float just above the river towards them. The two become numb and paralyzed as the entities carry them into the UFO. Some kind of “eye” device scans them before they are released 20 minutes later. They first contact Keesler AFB in Biloxi, but no one is interested; then they drive to the offices of the Mississippi Press Register a few blocks away, but it is closed.

It made a sound like a swarm of bees. The object jiggled up and down and sideways, and looked like two saucers joined together with a cabin on top. The bottom of the craft was trisected, with a circle in each of these sections. A truck driver blew his air horn and the craft took off over trees at a fantastic speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Donald Worley, Official UFO, January 1976, p. 16; Francis L.

Shortly after nightfall, at around 8:30 p.m., Charley Hickson, looking around to bait his hook, saw a domed, football-shaped object descend until it hovered just off the ground about 30 feet away from them. The craft had two windows and two blue lights, and made a buzzing sound. When the object landed an unseen door opened to reveal a brilliantly lit interior. Three beings came out and floated toward the witnesses. These beings were about five feet tall. Their skin was gray and rough like elephant skin that made them look like mummies. No clothes were apparent. In the center of their faces was something about two inches long that came out to a point and resembled a nose. They had a slit for a mouth, which never opened, if they had eyes they couldn't be seen because the area above the nose was too wrinkled. They had no neck and their ears were pointed and retractable. Their arms were unusually long, and their hands were like mittens with a thumb attached. Their legs never moved but stayed together like a pedestal. Their feet were elephant-like.

When two of the beings grabbed Hickson by his arms he felt a pain in his left shoulder. This immobilized him and allowed his captors to lift him and somehow float him over to the craft. The third being seized Parker, who immediately went limp. Once inside Hickson was nearly blinded by the light but was unable to close his eyelids. He saw no furniture, only a screen-like device on the wall. He hung suspended in the air at a 45-degree angle while an eyelike device appeared out of the wall in front of his face and circled around him. The beings that held Hickson moved in a stiff, mechanical way but did their work with speed and efficiency. One made a buzzing sound. The beings then disappeared for some time. When they returned, they grasped Hickson again and floated him through the opening, which had reappeared. They left him back at the place where they had found him. His legs collapsed when he touched the ground. Parker stood by with a terrified look on his face. Meanwhile, the buzzing sound and blue light resumed, and the craft rose straight up and disappeared almost instantly. Hickson "heard" a message in his mind that the beings were peaceful. Hickson subsequently reported having three more close encounter incidents, one of which apparently involved the same beings. Two involved telepathic communication only and the transfer of information that has not been disclosed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Hickson refused to take a polygraph, but former **Project Blue Book** advisor J. Allen Hynek stated the testimony was sincere. Parker claims his father once worked for the Atomic Energy Commission near Area 51, and the sighting occurred near a shipyard managed by Ingalls Shipbuilding, then owned by Litton Industries, creator of advanced space suits for the USAF and NASA. The appearance of the alleged entities Hickson and Parker saw may match the description of advanced experimental suits Litton was designing at the time. Was this event a military test of some kind using “UAP abduction” as a cover? * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascagoula_Abduction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascagoula_Abduction) * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litton_Industries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litton_Industries) * [https://www.wlox.com/2019/03/15/pascagoula-ufo-new-witness-comes-forward/](https://www.wlox.com/2019/03/15/pascagoula-ufo-new-witness-comes-forward/) (alt URL added by RG) * [https://www.amazon.com/PASCAGOULA-CLOSEST-ENCOUNTER-MY-STORY/dp/198299584X](https://www.amazon.com/PASCAGOULA-CLOSEST-ENCOUNTER-MY-STORY/dp/198299584X) (alt URL added by RG) * [https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/mississippi/1973-alien-abduction-in-pascagoula-ms/](https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/mississippi/1973-alien-abduction-in-pascagoula-ms/) (alt URL added by RG) >**_Note_**: AFOSI counterintelligence officer Richard C. Doty states the 7602nd Air Intelligence Group at Fort Belvoir, VA conducted psychological operations on U.S. citizens who inadvertently saw classified aerospace projects at the installation. Doty states the 7602nd would stage UAP/alien abductions and/or interactions to traumatize civilians near the base who witnessed USG or USG contractor projects. Was the Pascagoula event an early example of a similar “mi-lab” phenomena? >* [https://youtu.be/I3U56KZbswU?t=100](https://youtu.be/I3U56KZbswU?t=100) >**_Note_**: The term “milab” is used by ufologists and popular culture to describe a similar phenomena reported by some witnesses. >**_Note_**: Northrop Grumman acquired Litton Industries in 2000, but any UAP work could have spun off from Litton earlier. For example, Litton split some operations off into Western Atlas in 1994. It is unknown if Litton did any work for advanced UAP related projects, where that work would have been housed. **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_144 ### Event 34970 (0EA18848) **Date:** 10/12/1973 **Location:** USA, Cincinnati (Ohio) **Description:** (Translated from French) Mrs. Heitfeld had set up her mobile home next to a department store warehouse. Around 2:30am she woke up, tormented by a terrible thirst. Her gaze was drawn to a bright light outside. She pulled back the curtains and saw a row of lights forming an arc. Each light as big as an open hand. There were 6 of them, spaced 120 cm apart. There was also another light that appeared in the parking lot, just behind her caravan trailer: a car parked there was masking the lower part of this light source. It was at this moment that a creature resembling a monkey appeared in the glow. Terrified, Mrs. Heitfeld watched all this for 2 to 3 minutes, thinking that the creature was very close to the car. Her 13-year-old son, who was sleeping in the mobile home, was awakened by her. When she returned to the window, she noticed that the creature was about 10 m away from the car. It was inside a shield of light: it was like a standing monkey, tall and without a neck. It had a kind of muzzle ending in a point directed downwards. Its body was uniformly gray. Only the arms moved jerkily, like a robot. The witness never saw legs or other details in the rest of the body, which moved as if sliding on the ground. She called the police and was told "Madam, we have already been to the place". "But it is still here; this can in no way be a human being!" she cried. While her mother was on the phone, young Carl saw a car approaching the one near the caravan and connecting the battery of one to the hood of the other, and he went back to bed. Shortly afterwards a dull noise was heard: Carl assumed that the car had left. There was indeed a car breakdown by Cliff Fulmer of Tina Marie Arrico's car: these two people noticed nothing special. Mrs. Heitfeld's observation had ended, without her seeing how the being had left. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976 - P.148 to 151 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2733 ### Event 34971 (27AE0BE7) **Date:** 10/12/1973 **Location:** PIRAN, SLOVENIA **Description:** Many observer(s) feel cold.

He notices a red flashing light on the ground in a remote area, and circles around for a closer look. As he does so, the light begins moving too and reaches a speed about the same as his plane, 170 mph. It is flashing regularly at 2-second intervals. The object is skimming over the ground, apparently following undulations in the landscape. He changes course again to intercept the light, which accelerates instantaneously to 800 mph, moving up and over Mount Baldy, following its contours. The pilot follows it for a few minutes, about 50–60 miles. After about 5 minutes the light makes a right-angle turn and accelerates vertically. After 8–10 flashes, it disappears into the upper atmosphere. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Mark Rodeghier, “Out of the Past: An Incredible Light,” IUR 9, no. 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1984\): 7–8 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4951 ### Event 34979 (4495B5FD) **Date:** 10/13/1973 **Time:** 19:00 **Location:** ST.

Nancy and Jim had just settled down in the camper for the night when they were awakened by a bright light shining in through the back window. Then the camper door suddenly burst open. They saw a bright saucer-shaped object about to land, descending in a zigzag motion. Once on the ground the glowing object disgorged a variety of figures, perhaps twenty. They could see a couple of male figures approaching their camper slowly. One appeared to be a black man. A second was similar to a swami, standing on one leg with his other leg wrapped around his head. A disembodied face appeared in the camper telling them not to be afraid. About seven of the men stood in a semi-circle, ten feet away form the van door. One of the seven had dark curly hair and was dressed in blue jeans and a red plaid shirt, and he held a German shepherd in each hand by a leash. The group stood there for about ten minutes, staring silently at the witnesses, who cowered inside the van in great fear. A man appeared carrying what looked like a scroll. Three more beings, different from the others and only four feet tall, came out of the "space ship" and moved about the area very quickly, "just sort of running around." They seemed to glow a whitish green color. One of these perched in a tree.

While this strange assemblage was still present, Jim jumped out of the camper and warned their friends who were asleep in a nearby tent. They were unable to understand what all the excitement was about because they were unable to see either the "spaceship" or any of the beings. Jim hustled them into the camper, collected all their belongings, found his dog and, with the other couple driving, they took off. En route back to Milwaukee Nancy and Jim, riding in the rear of the camper, experienced a variety of strange phenomena, including a gloved hand apparition and a presence. Both Nancy and Jim became hysterical. The other couple perceived nothing unusual and believed their friends had gone crazy. They took them directly to a hospital emergency entrance upon returnning to Milwaukee. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They had jerky, mechanical movements, like robots. Willis fainted. He remembers that when he woke up, he was on the floor; the entities grabbed him and propped him up against the wall. In this vertical position, his body and limbs suddenly stiffened. Helpless, he saw that the three intruders were examining his body with a strange little oval object. When the device was pointed downward towards his leg, his leg bone was visible! Immediately he was seized with a violent headache and he fainted again. He only came to at dawn. Fearfully he looked around. The lights were still on. The sheets were neatly folded. **Reference:** Leonard STRINGFIELD, "General UFO Alert", ed.

[George Scratchley Brown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FScratchley%5FBrown) states that sightings of what were presumed to be enemy helicopters during the Vietnam War took place, always at night, and prompted shooting by US ground forces. A Combat Air Activities file of 16 such incidents between 1967 and 1969, especially around Pleiku in February 1969, documents some of this activity. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Barry Greenwood, “[Air Force](http://www.greenwoodufoarchive.com/uhr/uhr14.pdf) [Vietnam Era UFO Reports Surface,](http://www.greenwoodufoarchive.com/uhr/uhr14.pdf)” UFO Historical Revue, no. 14 \(May 2015\): 3–10 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4952 ### Event 35048 (F8CEDF4E) **Date:** 10/16/1973 **Locations:** Albany, Ohio; Athens, Ohio **Description:** 7:30 p.m. Upon arriving home at Albany, Ohio, Mary Geddis sees a “ghost-like” figure floating about 50 feet above the ground at 1,000 feet distance; it is about 4 feet tall and thin, “like a person draped in a close-fitting sheet.” It is seen only briefly when she notices a bright white object moving about, and approaches to within 200 feet before going away. The object is about 20 feet in diameter and about 25–30 feet off the ground. Later, as she is making supper, she sees a “little blue-green thing” about 2.5 feet tall and with a face with “spiky things at the tops and the sides of the head” looking in an open door; it has stumpy arms \(she sees no legs\) and quickly disappears from sight. UFO sightings occur around the same time in nearby Athens, Ohio. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** George M.

The engine and headlights fail as the object lands. Another object hovers about 60 feet above the first, illuminating it. A “catfish-like” creature emerges with flippers for hands, a wide mouth, and feathers on its back. It holds onto a handrail on the craft and never goes down to the ground. It gets back in and the object rises into the air. The driver restarts the car. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Columbus \(Miss.\) Triangle Advertiser, October 24, 1973; David Webb, [1973: Year of the Humanoids](http://cufos.org/books/1973-Year%5Fof%5Fthe%5FHumanoids.pdf), CUFOS, 1976, p. 14 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4954 ### Event 35050 (0D8A81F6) **Date:** 10/16/1973 **Location:** Mannford, Oklahoma **Description:** Night. William and Donna Hatchett are driving down a country road near Mannford, Oklahoma, when she sees a bright light coming from the south. They first think it is a security light on a pole, but then realize the object is pacing them and descending. When the Hatchetts stop the truck, the light also stops in front of them. As the object hovers, it gives off a blinding light and a penetrating low-pitched hum. They have a feeling that there are occupants who know everything they are thinking. Donna is so afraid that she twice leaves the truck cab and goes into the back. William manages to persuade her to return, and they set off, the object rising up in the opposite direction. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Kevin D.

Single mother Pat Roach is dozing on the couch with her 5-year-old son Kent in an isolated house on the outskirts of Lehi, Utah. Suddenly, Kent wakes up screaming that he has seen a “skeleton.” Roach has a vague memory an intruder and a bright light. Suspecting a prowler, she phones a neighbor, who calls the police at 12:10 a.m. A few minutes later, officers arrive, talk to Roach, find nothing amiss, and leave. Roach then checks on her other children. Two of them, Bonnie and Debbie, tell her they had seen a spaceman who had come into the house and taken them on a spaceship. Debbie remembers being told not to tell anyone, as well as seeing a line of people waiting to go on board. Disturbed, Roach takes her children and spends the rest of the night at a friend’s house. In 1975, Roach sees an article by [Kevin Randle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%5FD.%5FRandle) on UFO abductions and contacts him. Randle arranges for an interview and hypnosis sessions with APRO’s research director [James A. Harder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FHarder)[.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FHarder) An abduction tale slowly emerges that involves some elements that are little known in 1975, among them the aliens’ clinical coldness, their curiosity about human emotion, their interest in gynecology, and human participants in the physical examination. However, Randle now believes that Roach underwent sleep paralysis, was influenced by some abduction accounts over the years, and was led into the narrative by Harder’s leading questions during hypnosis. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 1011– 1012; Story, [pp. 309–310](https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofuf0000unse/page/308/mode/2up); Lorenzen, Abducted!

The highway seemed completely deserted, but she saw the glare of a single headlight ahead of her that seemed to be stationary. As she got closer she saw that it was too bright to be a headlight. Her car suddenly began to lose power. The headlights flickered, dimmed, and then cut out. Next the engine faltered, sputtered then fell silent. Panic-stricken Mrs. Versacci pressed her face to the windscreen struggling to steer the car to a halt in the almost complete darkness. Thinking she could not stay there alone in the vehicle, she climbed out the car. She fumbled with the car hood as she lifted it, and as she stood there feeling helpless she noticed a humming sound, faint at first that seemed to be growing stronger. She could not see the source of the hum. As she stood facing the car a heavy hand came down on her shoulder and pushed her to the ground. She struggled to face her assailant and saw a tall, dark-colored metallic figure. Gabriella then saw flickering multi-colored lights and blacked out. When she came to she was standing in a field. The "robot" like figure was standing next to her, and before them stood a strange bright object. It was half-moon shaped, rounded on top and flat on the bottom. It was silver gray in color and rested on thick legs, of which she saw two but there might have been more. It was about 20 feet in height and forty feet across, and it had large, oblong windows in the middle from which yellow lights issued.

Gabriella now realized that the humming sound came from this object. She then blacked out for a second time. She awoke inside a strange room.It was circular, and she was strapped to a table in the center. She was naked but covered with a light blue blanket. Her wrists were bound to the table by what she described as "large rubber bands." Her spread eagle legs were restrained in the same manner, with the bands holding her ankles to the cold surface of the table. The inside of the craft was freezing. She glanced over to a far wall where the "robot" stood inactive. To her right was a console covered in buttons and dials. The floor was covered in what appeared to be black colored rubber matting. A few moments later, three men that came into view proved her. Two stood to the left of the table while the third went to the foot of the table and picked up some boxes or cubes. He placed three of the objects on a rail, which ran the length of the table, one by her head, one by her feet and one in the middle. As soon as the cubes were placed on the rail they began to glow.

The three men were all about the same height, five feet six inches to five feet eight inches tall. Fair skinned and slim in build, they wore the same garments. All wore a skullcap, tied at the back of the head and ending just above the eyes. Facemasks covered the nose and mouth, so only the eyes and upper face were visible. No hair was visible, but she could make out the hair bumps under the caps. The eyes were more rounded than normal human eyes, and seemed emotionless. All three men wore a tunic with a gray colored edging, long gloves that went to the elbows and very long aprons that fell as far as their ankles. Thick-soled boots covered their feet. Every piece of clothing was light blue in color. Throughout the episode none of the man spoke or made any other noise. They looked at each other frequently, and nodded occasionally. Furthermore they did not appear to breathe, making no respiratory noises. During the examination none of the three beings touched Gabriella. The man at the bottom of the bed took a number of gray colored instruments, which he used one by one. A small knife like implement was used to take a nail paring from her right hand index finger. A blood sample was taken with a small plastic looking bottle with tubes and wires attached. Her blanket was removed and a thin pencil-like device was used to prod and probe her and a large black rubber suction device was used on the area around the groin. Soon the examiner placed another blanket over her, which provided badly needed warmth.

Noticing her frequent glances towards the now inactive "robot" the examiner now spoke to her in perfect English. The robot was a trained retriever device. It did all the manual work outside the ship. It brought specimens for examination and study. It was merely a non-thinking intelligence that was programmed to do certain tasks. The examiner spoke in a deep male voice, although Gabriella could not see his mouth move beneath the mask. His eyes never blinked, not even once. His movements appeared practiced, deliberate and precise. When he completed his task, all three men left the room together. After several minutes Gabriella caught sight of the robot again. A flashing purple colored light was coming from it. It did not move but remained by the wall.

Soon one of the men came into view from behind her and walked to the far end of the table. He lifted the end of the blanket form the bottom and stared at her body. At this point she felt something awful was going to happen, and Gabriella struggled with her bonds but could not free herself. The being took a small pin and placed it on her thigh. Gabriella stopped struggling immediately. The device caused numbness in every part of her body apart from her head. The being climbed slowly on the bottom of the bed and slowly and without emotion raped her. She felt discomfort but no pain. Soon the three men came into the room and released her from the table. Gabriella looked down on the floor to see her clothes before passing out one more time that night. When she next regained consciousness Gabriella was standing, fully clothed, next to her car in the deserted country road. Distraught, she drove home. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Thomas E.

Two children, ages 2 and 4, reported a UFO with a pointed dome and rays emanating from the bottom. It made a buzzing sound. As many as four occupants were mentioned. They invited the older boy to look in the object. When the boy's father stepped into the backyard minutes after the sighting, the family dog was barking furiously.

It was about four feet tall and thin, "like a person draped in a close fitting sheet." It was seen only briefly. She then noticed a bright white object moving about, approaching to within 200 feet before going away. It was about 20 feet in diameter and 25-30 feet off the ground. Later, she saw a "little blue green thing" look in an open door. It was about 2.5 feet tall and had stumpy arms, and a face with "spiky things at the tops and side of the head." It quickly disappeared from sight. UFO sightings occurred about the same time in nearby Athens and elsewhere. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

His car stalled and its lights and radio died. He heard a tapping on the windshield and saw a crab-like thing with two shiny spots for eyes. The driver reportedly later confessed to a hoax, but this has never been confirmed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Carrying a "machine" of some sort, three beings lifted the woman from a couch and carried her by the arms. Her next memory was of a big, bright room with lots of "lights and buttons" and glass tubes containing liquid. She observed four or five humanoids on the craft and at least two human like beings. The humanoids did not communicate with her, were coldly efficient, and made her feel like a guinea pig. They were 40-5 feet tall, with head coverings, no noses, long fish like mouths, orange hands (gloves?) with two or three big claws or fingers that opened "like a clasp." They had large oval eyes that wrapped around the side of the head. The pupils were big, black, and round and move a lot. Their suits were a fluorescent 'silvery and blue," in contrast to the three beings that took her from her home who wore shiny, bright white uniforms. During the exam she was hooked up to a machine, probed with needles, given a blood pressure test and a gynecological exam. The beings were able to read her mind. One of the humans was bald, about 55, and talked with her and helped during the exam. They gave her a shot to make her forget, and then carried her out a door to be reunited with her children. The incident took between 45 minutes to an hour. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Suddenly, in his windshield, a few hundred meters away, he saw an enormous shining object appear, so big that he did not hesitate to compare it to a football field. The object stopped above his truck which was literally sucked into the UFO. In the heart of the craft, six beings of strange and incredible appearance approached and forced Patterson to get out of his vehicle. Round, with one eye, hands like crab claws, they were of small size, their heads barely reaching Patterson's chest. They busied themselves around the man for more than 30 minutes (...) They moved around him with a slow, affected air. (...) Finally, they relaxed him on a road about 80 km from his home. The journey had covered 112 km. Completely broken, dazed, he drove to Pensacola where he stopped at the police station. There, he collapsed on a bench, crying hysterically. He told his adventure to Sergeant Lucien Mitchell.

The creatures did not advance, they returned to their craft which quickly departed while Brown claimed to have fired some shots without hitting the flying object. **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDELL: "The World's greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

A second UFO hovered about 60 feet above the first, illuminating it with a light. Both craft were similar in appearance, like inverted cups, and had greenish blue flashing lights. A catfish like creature came out from the top of the lower UFO, holding onto a handrail. It had gray, fish-like skin, a wide mouth, one glowing eye, flipper like feet and webbing between its legs like a "flying squirrel." It had feather like objects on its back, which opened and closed when it moved. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The Chief stopped his car in the road and the thing moved slowly like a robot toward the car. When 10 feet away it turned and began running. The Chief pursued it in his patrol car, but the being accelerated and disappeared when the car spun off the road. "He was running in a very odd manner, from side to side, arms down to his sides, and it looked as if he had springs under his feet to propel him. He could take 10 feet in one leap." The photo is regarded by some UFO investigators as a hoax, as showing a man wrapped in aluminum foil. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Then the UFO moved away and Coyne realized that his aircraft had inexplicably risen 700 meters. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "From S.V. to UFOs" - SOBEPS 1976 - pp. 152-153 **Reference:** Science et Vie, Special Edition 1997: 50 Years of UFOs, Atlas of Unsolved Cases, pp. 60-63 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2737 ### Event 35112 (C9083686) **Date:** 10/18/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Near Mansfield \(Ohio\), [near-collision of Lawrence Coyne's helicopter with a UFO](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/1973-10-18\_Coyne.html).

A second object appears that resembles the first but seems to be covered in “cobwebs” on its upper surface. About 15 minutes later, “cotton-like” material is found that when handled becomes a “small ball which melted as it was touched.” The next morning, a collected sample has totally sublimated. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Brian Boldman, “An Analysis of Angel Hair, 1947– 2000,” IUR 26, no. 3 \(Fall 2001\): 19 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4960 ### Event 35141 (5F4BE594) **Date:** 10/18/1973 **Locations:** Columbus; Cleveland; Ohio; Mansfield; Akron **Description:** 11:00 p.m. Army Reserve Capt. [Lawrence J. Coyne](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/29459297/lawrence-james-coyne) \(with his crew 1st Lt. Arrigo Jezzi, Sgt. John Healey, and Spec5 Robert Yanacsek\) is flying an Army Reserve UH-1 Huey helicopter at 1,200 feet from Columbus to Cleveland, Ohio. Healey notices a steady, southbound red light. It looks like the port-wing light of an aircraft but seems brighter and carries none of the other FAA-required lights. He watches it disappear behind the helicopter and doesn’t tell the others. A couple minutes later, Yanacsek sees a bright red light on the eastern horizon and watches it for 90 seconds, realizing it is pacing the helicopter. He mentions it to Coyne, who tells Healey to watch it. Soon the light turns and comes towards the helicopter. Coyne takes the controls from Jezzi and puts the helicopter into a descent. He calls Mansfield \(Ohio\) Approach Control but fails to get a response. The red light is now closing on them at a dangerous rate of speed, possibly 684 mph. Coyne pushes the stick down, forcing the helicopter to descend quickly. When he gets to an altitude of 650 feet above the treetops, Coyne looks up and sees the object covering the entire front windshield. The red light is on its nose and a white light is on the tail of this cigar-shaped, metallic structure. Under the tail, a green beam sweeps a 90° arc and shines through the windshield. It hovers above them for 10–12 seconds before accelerating and heading northwest. The bright white light just snaps out. Coyne looks at the altimeter and realizes they have been ascending and are now at 3,500 feet, but the stick is still down. He pulls the stick up and the helicopter levels out at 3,800 feet. Reviewing his instruments, Coyne notices that the magnetic compass is rotating slowly, while the Radio Magnetic Indicator is functioning normally. They make radio contact with Akron and fly on to Cleveland without further incident. Other witnesses on the ground have seen the incident. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Coyne Helicopter, E-M / Magnetic Compass Encounter](http://www.nicap.org/731018mansfield%5Fdir.htm)”; Jennie Zeidman, “[UFO–Helicopter Close Encounter over Ohio,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%204.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 22, no, 4 \(November 1976\): 15– 19; Jennie Zeidman, “[More on the Coyne Helicopter Case,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%204.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 4 \(January 1978\): 16– 18; Jennie Zeidman, A Helicopter-UFO Encounter over Ohio, CUFOS, 1979; Kim Hansen, “UFO Casebook,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, pp. 82–85; Jennie Zeidman, “Green Light over Mansfield,” IUR 13, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1988\): 13–14; Jennie Zeidman, “The Coyne Case: Correction and Update,” IUR 14, no. 2 \(Mar./Apr. 1989\): 17–18; Michael D.

Suddenly the engine and all the car's systems failed and she felt a strange sensation rising in her. Looking to the left, "the being" was there, against the door. She dared not look straight at him and did not want to believe that this apparition was real. Standing 120 cm tall, it seemed entirely clad in a metal resembling tin. In place of the head, a dome of the same material the size of a motorcycle helmet, pierced with two rectangular slits at eye level. After 5 or 6 minutes, the being moved from left to right, then back around the car. The walk was normal but the head turned mechanically. The witness did not see the bottom of the being's body: she only saw him up to the waist. When the creature had disappeared, as she saw no one around, she decided to open the hood to attract the attention of passing motorists: when she lifted the hood, smoke came out even though there was no fire. An hour and a half later, a police car finally stopped near her. When the tow truck came, the hood was almost at the point of fusion, the metal was soft but the paint was not affected. It took 3 hours before they could touch the heated engine. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976 - P. 154, 156 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2738 ### Event 35146 (A3CE152F) **Date:** 10/19/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) G.D. and his friend ride a motorcycle to the place called Le Malmont north of Draguignan \(Var\). When they reach the top, they see an orange light in the sky moving slowly. The young girl gets scared and the couple goes back down to the city. The young man meets a friend who is interested in the UFO phenomenon. He talks to him about it and a small group of 4 enthusiasts go to the place in two cars. When they reach the top, they see a white light in the vegetation 100 m away and then the orientation table starts to overheat. The sound of broken branches attracts them and they see a red light approaching. It comes from a large reddish silhouette going down the path. A modulated whistle is heard. One of the cars is then violently shaken. Panic ensues. Everyone rushes into the vehicles and starts the engines, they then see 3 large helmeted silhouettes before going down the path at full speed. They will see red legs crossing the road before reaching the city below.

He told the department a creature got out that had silvery skin, crab-like claws, antennas, and looked into his living room window with "scary eyes." The sheriff's department quotes him as saying the creature got back into the saucer-shaped object and flew off. It notes that during the same time there were other reports. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

No UFO was seen, but a being was seen approaching the group silhouetted by a diffuse white glow. Later two of the witnesses saw three entities chasing their car. The entities were wearing one-piece suits with red lights at the waist level. They wore square helmets with luminous, rectangular eye slots. One of the beings wore something resembling a gas mask with a veil covering the face. Their gait was slow and mechanical. Meanwhile, the two witnesses in the other car twice saw two sets of "red legs" cross the road. A short while later their car was swung sideways across the road and then back again by some unseen force. Other effects included EM interference with the engines of both cars, a sensation of heat, an odor like burnt insulating tape, and one of the cars was shaken while parked. The beings made modulated whistling sounds. A powerful white light beam was also seen. No physical traces were found at any of the sites. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Further ahead he saw a landed, round UFO, 40-45 feet in diameter, with white and blue lights around it. From the object's illumination he could see a ladder and two beings standing beside it. They were human like, about six feet tall. When they saw the farmer and his dogs they got into the UFO, which rose slowly with a low humming noise and then took off at high speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

She dimmed her lights and when she crested the hill she noticed a landed disc-shaped object in a nearby cornfield. She slowed her vehicle and saw that the UFO had a slight dome on top and was glowing with a blue light. She called her husband on her CB radio and described the object but soon static made it impossible to communicate by radio. She stopped the vehicle and the next thing she remembered was watching the object take off at high speed. Later under hypnosis the witness remembered seeing five figures standing around her car looking at her. They were about five feet tall with pasty white faces and huge elongated eyes. They had two holes for a nose and slit like mouths. Moments later she found herself inside the object where she saw walls, lots of machinery, and also a very bright light. She next found herself in a room with several monitor-like screens and two humanoids standing near her. These creatures seemed to have claw-like hands. One of the beings was described as more human looking, a female with long hair, a skirt, and a band around her head. The male beings wore one-piece silver metallic jump suits, with gloves, boots, and belts across the chest area. She remembers lying on a table and being forced to remove her clothing.

No UFO was seen, but a small, metallic man appeared after she had pulled her car to the side of the road. The being had a bubble-dome head or helment with rectangular eye openings. The head moved like a robot's. From the elbows down the arms were narrow and wrinkled, like a chicken's legs. It moved around the car, then was gone. Afterwards she found the engine billowing smoke and the hood intensely hot. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

When they reach Caborn, Indiana, he notifies the rear conductors, who can now see a bright light \(possibly another train\) behind them. The train’s automatic blocking system is showing a red light, indicating there is a train to the rear. When the train reaches Belknap, the engine stops because a rear diesel unit has apparently overheated. The yardmaster in Evansville informs them that there never was any train behind them. The conductor hits a reset button and the train starts with no trouble. The light in the rear seems to be moving away, and the blocking system turns to an amber signal. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[UFO Disables Train](http://www.nicap.org/731020mtvernon%5Fdir.htm)”; Randle, Levelland, 2021, pp. 161–162 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4965 ### Event 35188 (8E0D64D8) **Date:** 10/20/1973 **Locations:** Round Valley Reservoir; Clinton Township; New Jersey **Description:** A UFO passes over Round Valley Reservoir, Clinton Township, New Jersey.

It wore a belt that had several odd objects hanging from it, and appeared to be taking readings with them. The being completely ignored the witness for the 30 minute period that the encounter lasted. It was bathed in a green light from the UFO. Eventually it was "taken back into the vessel." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

She turned up four days later at a police station, and reported that she had been driving along a deserted highway when her vehicle's engine sputtered and died at around ten p.m. She stepped out to check on it and was suddenly grabbed from behind by three creatures. She described them as wearing white face masks, or having white faces like molded plastic masks. Their eyes were large and set close to the sides of the head, and they had three-fingered, claw-like hands. They all wore metallic blue coveralls with a white stripe down the side. She was floated onboard a domed, disc- shaped object that was sitting on a nearby field. She was forced into a room, stripped, and then strapped to a table. Then she was given an extensive medical exam in which several needles were inserted into her body. She was left briefly alone in the brightly lit room, and then strapped to a chair. There several electrode-like devices were attached to her body and the creatures interrogated her at length. She was later given water and some food, which she did not eat, and released on a lonely stretch of road. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

She next saw an oval-shaped object descend and emit a loud grinding noise. On each end of the object there was a bright red square, while the object's central section appeared transparent. She saw two dark figures inside the UFO. The object descended very close to the ground, emitting a loud sound, and then then shot upwards while increasing in luminescence. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

They made camp high up on a mountain trail. Mr. Heriberto Ramos, the group's leader, said that at one point during their ascent they met three persons heading down the trail. There was nothing "alien" about the trio aside from the fact that they all dressed exactly alike and had similar features. One of the group members, who had stayed behind, took a photo of the three mysterious walkers, but only a patch of mist appeared on the developed film.

Later that night the campers found themselves surrounded by five or six vaguely humanoid figures who darted about the thick vegetation. They had claw-like hands and elongated ears. Some of these "monsters" blocked the precipice flanked trail that constituted the only way down from the mountain. Mr. Ramos tried walking cautiously toward pne being, hoping to show that his intentions were amicable. He got to within ten feet from the creature, and was able to describe it as having a triangular head and "extraordinary" eyes. He even he managed to touch the strange being, which did not stir. Its skin felt neither cold nor rubbery. Almost simultaneously, one of his students lit a large, powerful flashlight flooding the area with light. The clawed creature reacted by racing away from the scene, literally tearing a path right through the dense vegetation.

The path led to a 100 foot drop, giving Ramos the impression that they had frightened the being into jumping. But to his amazement it reappeared instantly at the side of its companions, who were still blocking the downhill path. From then until the sky began to lighten the besieged campers were watched by the beings, who remained in constant motion around them. Terror had led one of the students to bang himself repeatedly on the head with a flashlight, hoping to escape the situation by passing out. Seized by an inexplicable urge, another camper expressed a desire to take a walk in the woods. Fearing for his mental state, one of his companions offered to walk with him. Before they'd taken more than a dozen steps, they found what could only be described as a glimmering, polychromatic "egg" lying on the ground. While entranced by the curious flashing object, neither one felt brave enough to touch it.

Later that night they saw it in the claws of one of the alien creatures. At sunrise the campers made a mad dash for their cars that were parked at the bottom of the mountain. No trace of the aliens remained aside from their footprints, which were much larger than a human's and appeared to have been made by heavy creatures. The campers made plaster casts of the prints and photographed them. These materials were stolen by unknown parties some months after the incident. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The source is a row of six lights forming an arc outside her window, as well as another bright light over the parking lot. Outside the second light she can see a gray “apelike creature” that seems to be fixing something. In the process of calling the police, she hears a loud, deep, booming sound, and the object and creature are gone. Investigator [Leonard Stringfield](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard%5FH.%5FStringfield) finds that a fire alarm had gone off at the same time in a nearby warehouse only 150 feet away, although firemen can locate nothing that set it off. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 554 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4968 ### Event 35200 (A41EE478) **Date:** 10/21/1973 **Description:** At 2:30 a.m. Mrs. Heitfeld, a resident of the Cincinnati suburb of Covedale, Ohio awoke with a terrible thirst. A bright light outside her house then attracted her. She drew the curtains and saw a line of lights forming an arc. Each light was as large as an open hand. There were six of them, separated from one another by 120 cm. She also observed another light hovering above a nearby parking lot. Inside this light she observed a gray "ape like" creature. She woke her 13-year-old son who also saw the creature. The being was completely surrounded by a bell-jar shaped area of light. No facial features could be discerned, but the witness could see a snout like feature on the face. Its body was uniformly gray, and it was moving its arms in the sort of jerky way a robot would. Ground traces from the UFO were later found. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

When Flatter and Townsend arrived, they saw nothing out of the ordinary. Ed Townsend then left for other duties while Gary Flatter decided to stay a bit longer. Suddenly, a whole menagerie rushed past his stopped vehicle: he counted 7 hares, a raccoon, an opossum, and several cats. At the same time, he heard a kind of sharp whistle. Looking more closely, Flatter saw two creatures staring at him, dressed in silver suits, on the opposite side of the road. They measured about 1 m 20, had an egg-shaped head covered by something like a gas mask. Flatter turned on the headlights. Far from being bothered by the light, the creatures began to put on a kind of show: they jumped to a remarkable height, and to come down they floated, and so on. Finally, they flew away leaving a kind of faint red trail. **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDELL: "The World's Greatest UFO Mysteries" ed.

He and his daughter walk toward the other side of the field to investigate. They can see an object with red, white, and green lights near the railroad tracks. As a train passes through, the object dims and hovers near it for one minute, then takes off to the southeast. An object is seen flying above a train at Maunie, Illinois, the same evening. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[The 1973 UFO Chronology](http://www.nicap.org/chronos/1973fullrep.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4970 ### Event 35215 (D9B42170) **Date:** 10/22/1973 **Locations:** Hartford City, Indiana; south of the original encounter **Description:** 9:45 p.m.–after midnight. Dewayne and Debbie Donathan are driving toward their home 9 miles east of Hartford City, Indiana, when they see two strange-looking figures 30 feet ahead of them on the road. Four feet tall, they are dressed in tight-fitting silver suits and wear boxlike shoes. They move in a clumsy fashion, their arms flopping oddly along their sides. Debbie accelerates and drives past the figures. The witnesses alert the sheriff’s office, and two officers and a civilian friend, [Gary Flatter](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/185711958/gary-l-flatter)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/185711958/gary-l-flatter) investigate. They see no figures but hear an odd, high-frequency sound. Around midnight, Flatter hears the sound again south of the original encounter and notes wild animals leaving the area. His headlights pick up two 4-foot figures 20 feet off the side of the road. He can see a hose going from their egg-shaped helmets down to their chests. Three times they rise 3 feet into the air then float down. The fourth time, they fly away, still standing erectly. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Occupants in Indiana,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201973%2009%2000%20-%20September-October.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 22, no. 2 \(Sept./Oct. 1973\): 1, 3; Clark III 278 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4971 ### Event 35216 (3ED61320) **Date:** 10/22/1973 **Description:** At 7:35 p.m. two people and three dogs in a car just west of Blacy, Marne, France encountered a silent, faceted sphere over the roadside, causing them temporary paralysis.

While driving home Ms. Debbie Carne saw the creatures slowly cross the road in front of her. As she drove past them on the roadside they made a loud noise and raised their arms as if to scare her. About 15 minutes after the first encounter by Ms. Carne, Mr. & Mrs. Donathan approached the same area in a car and saw the same or a similar pair of beings on the road. They were described as wearing bright silver suits, straight in form and with no features noticed except box-like feet. The pair moved in a clumsy, flopping manner as they tried to get off the road ahead of the approaching car. Mr. Donathan described this as a dancing effect. A snake-like pattern of lights was seen dancing over the field. The next day imprints were found in the field where the beings had last been seen. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Donald Worley, APRO Bulletin, September-October 1973, p. 1; Donald Worley, Official UFO, January 1976, p. 16; David F.

A neutron activation survey indicates high concentrations of sodium, potassium, zinc, and lanthanum. Other tests indicate the sample is spider silk produced by a cribellate orb weaver spider. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Brian Boldman, “An Analysis of Angel Hair, 1947–2000,” IUR 26, no. 3 \(Fall 2001\): 14; Brian Boldman, “Angel Hair Physical Analyses: A Review,” JUFOS 9 \(2006\): 106 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4972 ### Event 35225 (E5303025) **Date:** 10/23/1973 **Description:** In the morning in Russell Springs, Kentucky a woman encountered two three-foot tall, reddish-skinned humanoids who were near her house.

They had gray fur and green eyes, shining in the darkness. (Jean FERGUSON: "Les Humanoïdes…" ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p 127 and p.187, 188, the only author who dates it to October 27) … The trio walked up the hill; the object was landed. It was bright white, could have been 30 meters in diameter and made a lawnmower noise. In the light of the craft, they saw two tall beings, like monkeys, with shining eyes. They emitted shrill sounds and an odor of "burnt rubber" filled the air. One of the young men was scared and ran away. The man with the rifle fired several shots above the heads of the creatures, without stopping them. Then he fired three shots, this time at one of them. A moan rose up, then the one who had been hit raised his arm and both of them disappeared into the woods. The UFO disappeared. (Leonard STRINGFIELD: "Alerte générale OVNI", ed. France – Empire, 1978, p. 91 to 93 which dates it to October 25) Around 9 pm, the young farmer Stephen Pulaski, according to the report published in the Flying Saucer Review, and at least 15 other witnesses saw a red glowing ball hovering over a nearby field. Stephen took his 30.06 rifle, and with two boys about ten years old each, sons of neighbors, drove to the thing to see what it was. The headlights of Stephen's car dimmed when they arrived near the object, and when the object descended to the ground, Stephen's German shepherd, left at the farm, became like crazy. **Reference:** DON ELKINS with CARLA RUECKERT, CASE NUMBER 6, Investigator: Berthold Eric Schwarz, M.D., Consultant, Brain Wave Laboratory, Essex Co.

Holt; Murat Road; North West Cape; Exmouth, Western Australia **Description:** 7:15 p.m. Lt. Commander Moyer is traveling south from Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt, a restricted US National Security Agency station along Murat Road on North West Cape, north of Exmouth, Western Australia, when he sees a large, black object in the sky 5 miles to his west at an altitude of 2,000 feet. After about 20–25 seconds, the object accelerates at speed to the north. It is first seen at about 20° elevation, to the west. Moore estimates its angular size as half a degree. It is initially stationary and there is no associated noise at any point, no trail or exhaust. It is last seen at 45°–50° elevation. At about 7:20 p.m., William Gordon Lynn, an Australian civilian and US Navy employee fire captain, notices a large, stationary, black object in the clear sky. It has a halo around the center, which appears to be either revolving or pulsating. He watches it for an estimated four minutes, after which it takes off speedily in a northerly direction and disappears after a few seconds. He thinks it is about 30 feet in diameter and hovering at 1,000 feet over the hills west of the base. On this same date, the base is communicating a DEFCON III alert to conventional and nuclear forces in the region during the Yom Kippur War \(an NSA misreading of a Syrian message to the USSR had indicated a Soviet build-up\). **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Black](http://www.nicap.org/731025australia%5Fdir.htm) [Sphere Observed / DEFCON-3 Reached](http://www.nicap.org/731025australia%5Fdir.htm)”; Bill Chalker, “The North West Cape Incident: UFOs and Nuclear Alert in Australia,” IUR 11, no. 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1986\): 10–11; Bill Chalker, “[The UFO Connection: Startling Implications](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201986%20V%2031%20N%205.pdf) [for Australia’s North West Cape, and for Australia’s Security,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201986%20V%2031%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 31, no. 5 \(July 1986\): 16– 18; Good Above, [pp. 174–175](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/174/mode/2up); Bill Chalker, “[UFOs Sub Rosa Down Under, Part 4,](http://www.project1947.com/forum/bcoz4.htm)” 1996; Swords 403–405 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4975 ### Event 35263 (041266B6) **Date:** 10/25/1973 **Location:** Uniontown, Pennsylvania **Description:** 9:00 p.m. A 22-year-old man and two 10-year-old boys allegedly see a bright-white, dome-shaped UFO about 100 feet in diameter land in a field near Uniontown, Pennsylvania. “Screaming sounds” emanate from somewhere nearby. The UFO makes a lawnmower-like sound. Suddenly they see two large apelike creatures with glowing green eyes walking along a fence, one in front of the other. The older witness fires a tracer slug with his rifle over the creatures’ heads, but they continue moving forward, seemingly communicating by making whining sounds. The tall and closer of the two, about 8 feet tall, is running its left hand along the fence, while the smaller one is struggling to keep up. The older witness fires three bullets into the larger creature’s chest. It whines and reaches toward the smaller creature. The UFO vanishes and the lawnmower sound ceases. The area where the UFO had been is now glowing brilliant white. The hairy creatures head toward the woods. A policeman arrives at 9:45 p.m. and finds the landing spot still glowing slightly. They hear something moving in the woods nearby and smell a sulfur-like odor. The officer and the witness panic and jump into the police car and drive about 150 feet. [Stan Gordon](http://www.stangordon.info/wp/stan-gordon/) shows up at 1:30 a.m. with four members of his Westmoreland County UFO Study Group. In the company of the witness and his father, they walk around the field until the witness undergoes a violent emotional attack, during which he growls like an animal and throws his father and an investigator to the ground. During his attack, he has an apocalyptic vision in which he receives a dire warning from a man in a black hat and cloak. The older witness undergoes hypnosis with psychologist [Berthold Eric Schwarz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berthold%5FE.%5FSchwarz), who says he has visions about the impending end of the world and after the event he “felt like an animal.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Berthold Eric Schwarz, “[Berserk: A](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%201.pdf) [UFO-Creature Encounter,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 20, no. 1 \(July 1974\): 3–11; Clark III 556 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4976 ### Event 35264 (397816AC) **Date:** 10/25/1973 **Description:** At around nine p.m. 15 people observed a very large red spherical object hovering low in the sky near Uniontown, Pennsylvania which began to descend towards a pasture. The incident began when the principal witness and two boys proceeded up a hill in a field and observed a white, dome-shaped craft on the ground that illuminated the area. It was making a loud whirring sound. It was estimated to be about 100 feet in diameter. They stood about 250 feet from the object, and about 75 feet from a fence line.

Walking along the fence line were two tall figures, from seven to nine feet tall, covered with hair, and with long arms hanging down past the knees. They displayed glowing green eyes. The witnesses shot at the creatures, first tracer bullets were shot over their heads, and then regular bullets was used. The larger of the two creatures turned towards the other almost touching it, and at the same time the object in the field disappeared and the sound stopped. The creatures slowly walked towards the woods. One boy had already run home, and the other two left the field and went to a neighbor's farmhouse and called the state police. When the state trooper arrived he and the main witness went to the site. Where the object had landed there was a glowing area that was about 150 feet in diameter. He said he could read a newspaper from the light. The farm animals refused to go into the area. One witness reported that before they left the field the larger of the two creatures was seen in the woods about 10 feet from them. He shot at it and it struck the fence that stood between them. Later that night an investigation team arrived in the area. Radiation levels were normal and the glow was now gone, but the animals still wouldn't go near the spot. Strange events now began to take place.

Some in the party saw a farmhouse several hundred feet away suddenly light up like daylight for several seconds. The main witness, a rather large man, suddenly began growling, and he threw his father and investigator George Lutz to the ground. The man ran into the field growling and screaming near inhuman screams. His own dog approached him as to attack, then ran off whimpering. He then collapsed onto the ground. Two of the investigating team started to complain they were having trouble breathing, and the air became filled with a strong odor like rotten eggs. As the main witness came out of what appeared to be a trance-like state, he began talking about visions he had seen of the end of the world. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He drove to his home in Buena Park, California to get someone else to see it and returned with the teenage babysitter of his children. Both witnesses felt as if their minds had somehow been lifted up to the craft, bathed in green light, and returned. Scott saw short humanoids, but felt that this vague encounter was unplanned, and with different humanoids than in his earlier experiences.

He therefore stopped outside the road, in a secluded place and began to busy himself to change the wheel. He had seen small lights in the distance, but had not paid attention to them until they approached and were of a bright blue. Trying to see what the object carrying this strange light was, he found himself paralyzed and could not move. He could however see how a dome-shaped disc descended, hovering just above the ground, next to the truck.

On the ground, near the vehicle, there were three humanoid entities: two men and one woman. They had long blond hair and almond-shaped eyes, wore silver one-piece suits, boots, but their head was free of helmets, they were not armed. The entities spoke among themselves, then one of them lifted Llanca by the collar of his sweater. Llanca was in the utmost terror, but the man adjusted a small black box around the index finger of his left hand and instantly Llanca became relaxed. In a few moments he lost consciousness. He woke up the next day, lying on the road. He told his story. Despite the use of hypnotherapy and truth serum, Llanco could not even remember a shred of what had happened to him after he lost consciousness. He could only say that the extraterrestrials had made contact with the earth in 1950 and were studying how the earthly man could live on this planet. He could describe the interior of the spacecraft, saying that one did not enter it either by a ramp or by stairs, but by a beam of light. He also said that the entities did not want him to remember anything else. (DON ELKINS with CARLA RUECKERT, CASE NUMBER 7, Investigator: Liria D. Jauregui, APRO Investigator) They spoke among themselves in a kind of language without vowels. The sound emitted made me think of a badly tuned radio. One of these beings took me by the collar of the jacket and forced me to stand up. I wanted to speak but I had no voice. The other placed a device on the index finger of my left hand, they applied it to me for a few seconds, I felt nothing. When removing it I saw two drops of blood on my finger. It was at this moment that I must have fainted, I do not remember the rest .."

However, Argentine UFO investigators find major discrepancies and consider Llanca’s story an invention devised to make some money. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Occupant Encounter in Argentina,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201973%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 22, no. 3 \(Nov./Dec. 1973\): 7–8; “[Possible Hoax,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201974%2001%20-%20January-February.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 22, no. 4 \(Jan./Feb. 1974\): 11; Gordon Creighton and Charles Bowen, “[The Extraordinary Case of](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%204.pdf) [Dionisio Llanca and the Ufonauts,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%204.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 26, no. 4 \(November 1980\): 2–10; Guillermo Roncoroni, “[Dionisio Llanca: El Informe Solari,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Argentina/UFO%20PRESS/UFO%20PRESS%20-%20No%2019%20-%20%28Ene-Mar%201984%29.pdf)” UFO Press, no. 19 \(Jan./March 1984\): 32–35; “[The Case of](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201984%20V%2030%20N%202.pdf) [Dionisio Llanca in Argentina,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201984%20V%2030%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 30, no. 2 \(December 1984\): 25–26; “[The Abduction of](https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1103940/pg1) [Dionisio Llanca,](https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1103940/pg1)” Above Top Secret forum, February 4, 2016; Clark III 601–602 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4977 ### Event 35289 (6537977E) **Date:** 10/28/1973 **Location:** Bad Traunstein, Austria **Description:** 11:30 p.m. Karl Fichtinger watches an odd orange-yellow light to the south of Bad Traunstein, Austria, that projects two beams of light that creep slowly upward like a pair of snail feelers. After moving up a short distance, they begin curving outward. After 7–10 seconds when they reach a certain height they stop moving, the two tips turn green for 2–3 seconds, a green mist falls down sideways, and the beams disappear. After 2–5 seconds the process repeats again and again. Around 12:30 a.m. he wakes his friend Johann Pritz in another house and they continue to watch the display for several hours. At 2:00 a.m. the light emits a red “missile” that moves east, stops, turns yellow-orange, and produces a similar pattern of signals. Then they notice a third object in the west that looks more like a dark domed disc, and it is also sending thin feelers up light upward. Three more smaller lights join the one in the east. At 3:30 a.m., the missile in the east stops and takes off to the south but the others remain. The witnesses go home at 4:30, and all the objects are gone by 6:00 a.m. They estimate that the first object has given off 1,200 signals, the domed disc some 550, and the missile a minimum of 360. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Ernst Berger, “[Luminous](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%202.pdf) [‘Snails’ near Traunstein, Austria,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 20, no. 2 \(October 1974\): 12–18 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4978 ### Event 35290 (DBFB9494) **Date:** 10/28/1973 **Description:** Dionisio Llanca, age 25, was changing a tire along a deserted road at 1:15 a.m. near Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina when he became aware of a yellow and blue light behind him, and three human-like beings. He then began to feel weak and barely able to move. One of the beings approached and pulled him to his feet, and a second one drew a blood sample from his finger with a device that looked like an electric shaver. Afterward, the witness lost consciousness and suffered trauma to his head and forehead. Under hypnosis and sodium pentothal Llanca recalled being transported onto a hovering, plate-shaped craft via a beam of light. He saw a room with a window and various instruments, including a screen showing a display of the stars. His abductors were two men and two women, between 5 ft. 6 in. and 5 ft. 8 in. (about 1.7m) tall. They had blond hair, wide foreheads, and elongated eyes. They were dressed in gray, tight-fighting uniforms, yellow footwear, and gloves. The beings spoke among themselves in a "squeaky" language, resembling the sound of buzzing bees. A technical device communicated with him in Spanish, or by telepathy, to reassure him and tell him that they had been coming to Earth since 1950. They told him he was chosen for contact because he was simple and good. They warned that the current course of mankind would lead to catastrophe. Later, they said, they would come back and take him with them. Llanca regained consciousness between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., some 10 km (6 miles) from where his truck was. He wandered around with no memory of his own identity until a passerby took him to a hospital, where he remained for several days.

Llanca had nightmares and severe anxiety for a prolonged period, followed by personality change. He changed jobs frequently and finally stopping working altogether, became engaged to be married and then cut off all contact with his fiancee. His parents rejected him, and he subsequently was sentenced to prison for swindling. Afterwards, there were rumors that he had fabricated the story to sell a book, and that the doctors were a party to the hoax (which seems highly unlikely). **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard H.

A "ground crew" of 10-12 figures, wearing dully glowing "cube type" uniforms, were milling around, as if searching for something. A very low-pitched hum was heard, but no barking by the witness's dog, or others in the neighborhood. When two of the men approached her driveway, the witness took alarm and returned to bed, where she fell asleep immediately. There was no confirmation of anything unusual from any of her neighbors, and no traces were found. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, October 1974, p. 3; David F.

Balvidares went to the pond and called out to them. They "disappeared immediately, only to return to show themselves at the opposite shore of the pond, 300 yards away."

(Continued.) There were two men and a woman. The woman was about 5' 3" tall and had long black hair, black clothing, and white boots. The two men were both of the same height and somewhat shorter. The men appeared to be naked and of a "sunburned" color; they may have been wearing tight fitting one-piece suits. They were blond, and their hair appeared "glued on." All three had white complexions, wide foreheads, and small noses. They floated about with their arms held close to their bodies.

(Continued) On the far side of the pond rested a luminous rectangular object approximately 35 feet in diameter and 7-10 feet high. It emitted a beam of light 15 inches in diameter that struck Balvidares. He felt dazzled and he could feel heat from it. Balvidares took his horse and rode to the pond, but when he had got halfway there he encountered an "invisible barrier" and could not proceed. Meanwhile the beings continued to maneuver over the surface of the pond, communicating by "a kind of shriek, like the sound made by a radio which is poorly tuned."

After an hour and a half Balvidares again mounted his horse to ride around the pond, but this time the beings returned to the UFO. The images of the men changed in color to dark green and orange" as they approached the craft. Then the witness smelled "an odor of sulphur" and became drowsy for a few moments. When he recovered the UFO and its entities had gone. On later investigation many triangular footprints four to five inches long, showing four claw marks at the front of the triangle, were found in the vicinity of the UFO's resting place. The object itself left four triangular impressions 15 inches on a side, arranged in a square 13 feet on a side. The horse "exhibited nervousness" after the event, and its hair began to fall out. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

On the outskirts of Manchester, she sees an odd light in the sky that is flashing different colors. The light vanishes when she reaches Goffstown, but it reappears twice more, seemingly brighter and closer. She sees that it is an orange-and-gold globe covered with hexagons like a honeycomb, with an oval window on the upper left. The red, green, and blue flashes come from somewhere near the center of the object, and she hears a high-pitched sound. Suddenly she is unable to remove her hands from the steering wheel. She feels that the object is taking control of her and the car and pulling them in. Her car speeds up against her will as she passes Westlawn Cemetery. The object is now only a few hundred feet away, and through a window she sees a smallish humanoid figure standing behind a console. The figure has a round, grayish head, a wrinkled face, a downturned slit of a mouth, and two large eyes with dark pupils. She feels that he is sending her a telepathic message to be unafraid. Somehow, she slows the car and turns into the driveway of a house just past the cemetery. She jumps out and runs to the kitchen door of the house, ignoring a German shepherd dog that growls and barks at her. She pounds on the door and rings the bell and yells for help as the UFO moves to a position across the street, hovering and watching her, still emitting a high-pitched sound. The residents, Mr. and Mrs. Beaudoin, come to the door and find a terrified woman who is covering her ears and claiming that a UFO is after her. The Beaudoins cannot see or hear anything, but Mrs. Beaudoin calls the police. Investigator [Walter N. Webb](http://www.nicap.org/bios/NICAP-Bios/Webb.htm) finds that the position of the UFO corresponds too closely to the planet Mars, at least in the later stage of the sighting, to rule that explanation out entirely. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Occupant Encounter in New Hampshire,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201974%2001%20-%20January-February.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 22, no. 4 \(Jan./Feb. 1974\): 5–7; “[The 1973 UFO Encounter of Lyndia Morel,](https://www.ufocasebook.com/lyndiamorel1973.html)” UFO Casebook **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4980 ### Event 35332 (D1244E39) **Date:** 11/2/1973 **Location:** Midland, Pennsylvania **Description:** Night.

He looks out the door and sees that the light is a diffuse glow coming from 2 silver-clad creatures with large pointed ears, big noses, and dark egg-shaped eyes that look like holes. Their boots are heel-less, with the ends curved up. They are picking things up from the ground and gathering them in a bag. The witness goes to his room to alert his wife, who doesn't want anything to do with it, takes a 0.38 caliber automatic pistol and returns to the kitchen, inserting more cartridges. On his master's order, the raging German shepherd jumps into attack. Approaching the intruders, he stops in his tracks and returns whimpering into the house. The humanoids continue their collection. At this moment the witness trembles and can no longer hold his weapon, let alone use it effectively, but he shouts that he will shoot if the beings come any closer. At the same time, the man was telling his wife what was happening. She didn't want to answer until she heard that the creatures were leaving. She then reached the kitchen, only seeing their glow disappear into the woods. At 0 h 30, the police called arrive. No trace is found on the hard ground, covered with pine cones.

There he was told he would find a metallic sphere, which he did. The sphere was small and covered with tiny holes. It suddenly started shooting bright beams of light in different directions. The whole area was next illuminated by a bright glow, and two huge, saucer-shaped objects appeared and flew directly overhead. Both were dripping water and were emitting a strong heat wave. They were silent and had three rotating white spheres on the bottom, and were emitting multicolored lights. The objects then descended out of sight and dimmed their lights. After that, two tall humanoid figures wearing uniforms and helmets with transparent visors approached Castillo from the woods and told him not to be afraid. The two figures took him to a nearby clearing, where a flying craft now appeared overhead, shooting down a beam of yellow light that surrounded both the witness and the humanoids. He was then transported inside the object where he saw two more tall, smiling entities. The beings removed their helmets; they had handsome human features, and shoulder length, blond hair. Some of the men wore tight fitting silvery outfits with orange boots and gloves, while others wore brown outfits. The witness was given information about upcoming Earth changing events, and was given an extensive tour onboard the craft. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** BUFORA Journal, 1973, p. 60; David F.

The dog, a trained attack German shepherd, leapt forward towards the intruders. But when it got to within 10 meters of them, the creatures stopped their gamboling and stared fixedly at the dog. The animal stopped, growled, and with its tail between its legs, returned to the safety of the house. Snow had a .38 caliber pistol in his hands, but he was trembling so much he couldn't use it against the strangers. Overcome with a visceral fear, he followed the dog back inside. He watched the creatures through the window: they seemed to be faintly luminous, had oversized ears, sunken dark orbits for eyes, and a very pointed nose. On their heads they wore a Ku Klux Klan-style hat, silver like their costume. (November 4, 1973) **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDELL: "The World's Greatest UFO Mysteries" ed.

They see a bright light in the sky that is not the helicopter they think it is at first. They watch it for 5–10 minutes before it moves away to the southeast. Steinberg tries to get closer in the patrol car, while Brown stays behind and directs him by radio. He gets to within 300–400 feet of it, as it is 700–800 feet in altitude. It now appears football-shaped and 100 feet long. He watches it for 10–15 minutes as it glows silvery blue with an occasional yellow-red pulsating tint. The object then moves off to the southwest, stopping occasionally. A smaller object comes up on his right and drifts up to the larger object and merges with it. The larger object dims in sections \(about 16\), one after the other, and it takes off to the southwest and disappears in a couple seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Dick Ruhl, “[Merging UFOs over Long Island,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201974%2001%20-%20January-February.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 22, no. 4 \(Jan./Feb. 1974\): 1, 3– 4; Herbert S.

They were going to play in a vacant lot (around 7 pm) (...) when they discovered an object that was motionless. (...) They slowly approached it. Five minutes passed, then one of the boys started to tap the object three or four times with an electric torch. The object, described by the boys as a clear grey, immediately came to life. The taps made a metallic sound. At the top of the object, the dome began to shine with a red light (alternating). At the same time, the object rose to 1 meter - 1 meter 20. Around the perimeter of the object, green lights flashed successively. The object began to spin on itself, making a rather dull sound. (...) and the object rose into the air, still making the same sound. The boys started to run; they felt assaulted by shivers, tinglings, and were overcome by a great weakness.

When they arrive, there is a dark object hovering about 18 inches above the field. It seems inactive. One of the boys cautiously approaches and raps it with his flashlight, making a sound like metal on metal. Instantly, the object’s dome lights up in a brilliant red light that illuminates the entire area. It rises three or four more feet off the ground, and a row of green lights light up around its perimeter, flashing in sequence. The thing begins rotating and making a “woooo woooo woooo” sound. The object is easily visible now and appears as a domed disc. The dome is large and tall \(about equal to half or more of the disc height\) and glowing bright red, then flashing intermittent red. The boys are now frightened and start to run away as the object takes off toward the southwest. At the site are found three marks forming an equilateral triangle within an area of grass swirled in a counterclockwise pattern. A magnetometer at La Posta Astro-Geophysical Observatory in Campo, California, allegedly registers a perturbation at 7:20 p.m. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Object Hovers 18ʺ off Ground / Magnetometer](http://www.nicap.org/731116lemongrove%5Fdir.htm) [Perturbation](http://www.nicap.org/731116lemongrove%5Fdir.htm)”; “[Boys Encounter Landed Object,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201974%2001%20-%20January-February.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 22, no. 4 \(Jan./Feb. 1974\): 7–8 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4986 ### Event 35420 (2470D34A) **Date:** 11/17/1973 **Time:** 01:30 **Location:** FAIRLAND, OK **Description:** 2 observer(s).

As they pass, it starts moving westward over the St. Lawrence River. The object seems to change shape as it flies, becoming alternately larger and smaller, dimming and growing in intensity. The light follows them as they weave in and out through wooded areas. Eventually the object is lost to sight as the women drive into Montreal. At one point they encounter a large volume of traffic that seems to be slowed by an odd pink cloud lying across the highway. They also see a small human figure standing in the middle of the road. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski and Geoff Dittman, The Canadian UFO Report, Dundurn Press, 2006, pp. 107–108 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4988 ### Event 35428 (B1F8675B) **Date:** 11/18/1973 **Description:** On the previous evening Enrique Castillo of Fulanos de Tal, Colombia was again summoned telepathically to go to an isolated area for possible contact with "extraterrestrials." Hours went by, when at around three o'clock in the morning numerous illuminated objects appeared, one of which detached itself from the rest and slowly approached him in a zigzag fashion. It performed an astonishing series of maneuvers before landing on three supports about 60 meters away. The other lights disappeared. This craft was quite different from the one he had previous encountered, of a rather peculiar shape. A metallic ladder emerged, leaving a narrow, illuminated opening from which a human shaped silhouette could be seen. Castillo started to approach the craft but a deep voice ordered him to stop, and then beckoned him to approach slowly. Soon a human looking alien named Cyril, whom he had met on a previous occasion, met him at the doorway. He invited Castillo to walk up the six steps of the ladder. When Castillo extended his hand to greet him, he stepped back and motioned him to stop between the last step and the door. A very bright blue flash of light shone briefly, bathing Castillo's body. He understood that the blue light was part of a sterilization system.

On board were two other very different beings with "avocado-shaped heads", dressed in one-piece, ample overalls. They smiled constantly. He went to greet them, but they just bowed without extending their hands. The little men were bald, with pale skin, seemingly completed coated with a film of oil. They were about 1.5 meters (4 feet) tall, well proportioned, with large normal eyes and normal ears, a large "Greek" nose, and prominent jaws. Cyril declared that these creatures came from Mercury. Castillo was incredulous because he knew there were immense temperatures contrasts on that planet. But he was told, "you would be astonished by the civilizations that have flourished there." Via a spiral stairway Castillo was taken to the second level, which he found rather cramped. Cyril announced that the craft was on its way to the "mother ship." One of the other beings took Castillo to a closet on the first floor and gestured to him to put on a uniform, which stretched to fit him perfectly.

A gigantic craft came into view. A hatch opened, from which came an intense light. Inside the mother ship Castillo was led through several passageways and in one area he noticed an emblem, in high relief, of a winged serpent holding what looked like an egg. Inside this object Castillo also encountered toilet facilities. In the hall Castillo claims to have encountered yet another thoroughly unbelievable being, a giant man no less than three meters tall. His features were remarkably similar to those of a common terrestrial. His skin was grayish, his hands hairy with normal fingers, shaped at the tips like spatulas. He was dressed in a dull gray uniform. At one point Castillo boarded a smaller craft accompanied by Cyril and the two smaller humanoids. It took them on a ride to different places apparently on earth. Later back aboard the mother ship Castillo claims to have seen a robot, with some human features, and for the first time, women who wore tight-fitting suits and had decidedly feminine features. "Their golden hair framed the most beautiful faces I had ever seen," Castillo enthused. They were as tall as the men, perhaps 1.75 meters. Eventually Castillo was returned to an area not farm from Bogota, Columbia. He had been away for about 26 hours. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It was perhaps the size of a watermelon. It sometimes flew ahead of them and sometimes behind them, at a considerable distance. They passed through a cloud of red dust that obscured their vision, and shortly after emerging from the cloud they had to swerve to avoid a little man wearing dark clothing and a lappet helmet, who was standing on the white line in the middle of the road. He appeared to be sweeping with push-broom. He was short in stature and they could not see his face. After passing the "sweeper" they saw a car and three dark clad people beside the road. There were several other UFO sightings in this part of Quebec the same evening. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Farmer Joao Rodrigues Terra and his farmhand Djalma Da Silva Faques were driving to the farmer's house when they observed a a bright orange oval-shaped object 12 meters in diameter emerge from a strange, low white cloud. It flew at only one meter above the ground and came to within 30 meters. It had a dome on top and bottom. The surface was shiny and metallic with a luminous fan-shaped beam directed from the top, upwards. The UFO continually changed colors. They had trouble starting their pickup truck, and then could only creep along as the UFO paced them only 30 meters away for the next ten minutes. Faques, the passenger, observed the UFO closely and could clearly see a small human figure inside. The truck functioned normally after the object sped away, but its new battery failed three days later and could not be recharged.

On this night in 1975 in Oak Brook, Illinois, a boy saw a domed disc hovering near his home. The UFO had a red light on top and two clear lights on the side. That same night a red oval-shaped UFO followed a car in Saint Thomas, Pennsylvania. It hovered, and then disappeared. . **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** CUFOS News Bulletin, February 1976, p. 13 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7740 ### Event 35435 (37381E65) **Date:** 11/20/1973 (approximate) **Location:** MARTINA FRANCA, ITALY **Description:** 2 teens.

Around 2 o'clock her attention was suddenly drawn to a white object that seemed to be floating on the other side of the window. She approached it and discovered something 4 feet tall: a humanoid being, with a round head and normal eyes. She saw neither nose nor mouth on the face. Around the head, or helmet that surrounded the head, there was a kind of halo or aureole of flames. She also saw some kind of laces around its neck. The shoulders were not built square like a human's but started from the base of the head or helmet, at an angle of 45°. She was not scared, the being even seemed beautiful to her. She felt drawn to the humanoid, but felt unable to move. When the creature disappeared after about 15 seconds, she suddenly realized that a strange event had just occurred and ran to the bedroom to wake up her husband. But there was nothing to be seen anymore. **Reference:** Pierre DELVAL: "Contacts of the 4th Type" - De Vecchi 1979, p. 81 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2746 ### Event 35438 (29457014) **Date:** 11/21/1973 **Time:** 00:00 **Location:** TORINO, ITL **Description:** 1 observer.

The commander of a *piper* attempts to pursue it. He describes: "I saw in front of me an object that looked like a sphere of intense and very white brightness. This light decreased and increased: it never went out. Only its intensity varied. The object was a bit higher than my plane and so I started to climb to its height to approach it. While climbing, I had the clear impression \(my control devices confirmed it\) that the object was going up or down in front of me. Taking advantage of a moment when the object was below, I went down, I accelerated to exceed 400 km/h. But I did not manage to reach the object, because it moved away from my plane more and more, increasing its speed compared to mine. The craft moved away towards the south \(...\) The UFO was spotted by the airport's radars. Several people will testify to having seen, that evening, a very large light above the city of Turin. The case has a great media impact.

He sees a luminous, multicolored ball of light changing from violet to blue to dark red. “When I got closer and had a better view, the object at once made off, flying in a most irregular fashion, maneuvering in a way I have seen no plane do, making fantastic lateral deviations, and sudden vast jumps to and fro, as if it enjoyed playing hide-and-seek. Its speed was as high as” 540 mph, Marano says. Col. Rustichelli, commandant of the Caselle military airfield, sees the UFO on his own radar screen. “It was something solid, lit up, like a plane on my radar.” Commander Tranquillo, pilot of an Alitalia Air Line DC-9 en route from Turin to Rome, calls to the control tower: “I see a shining thing giving out intermittent flashes of light, four miles from me. I dare not approach. I give way.” Commander Mezzalami in another Alitalia DC-9 reports: “I was able to observe the object … notified by the control tower just as I was about to touch down. I had a good view of it        I can offer no theories as to its significance and can only say that it was something very strange indeed.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[UFO Darts To and Fro, Observed from 3 Aircraft and Gnd](http://www.nicap.org/731130turin%5Fdir.htm) [Radar](http://www.nicap.org/731130turin%5Fdir.htm)”; Story, [p. 373](https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofuf0000unse/page/372/mode/2up); F.

The 75 m² garden is delimited by three high whitewashed walls, behind the back wall there is the property of a convent of religious women housing a school. V.M. was already in bed that night, when around 2 o'clock in the morning he woke up for a natural need and had to go out to a small building attached to the kitchen. He did this without turning on the light, in the darkness. When he arrived in the kitchen he heard the sound of a shovel falling outside. Through the window curtain he saw a greenish light outside. His garden should normally have been plunged into darkness at this hour, the witness was very intrigued. He went to the window, moved the curtain aside. In the back of the garden was a small being of about 1m10 dressed in a shiny suit that emitted a greenish light. The character was visible from the back and three-quarters. He was of medium build, the head, legs and arms proportionate to his height. On his head he wore a transparent helmet in the shape of a ball and a tube came out of the back to connect to a kind of backpack that the character wore on his back. This bag, rectangular in shape, covered his back from the waist to the shoulder blades. This equipment had the same appearance as the clothes. On his stomach, at waist height, he wore a small bright red, luminous and sparkling square box, attached to a belt. The bottom of the billowing trousers was taken up in small tight boots of the same greenish aspect. The hands were gloved and the sleeves of the garment tightened at the wrists. Seen from the back, the head appeared round and black. A halo surrounded the visitor partially illuminating the ground and the left wall. He held in his hand a device comparable to a vacuum cleaner or a mine detector which he slowly passed over a pile of bricks at the bottom of the garden. The character seemed to move with difficulty. He was waddling as he walked. V.M. then used the flashlight and made two light calls in the direction of the creature. At this signal the humanoid turned around by pivoting in one piece. V.M. then saw for the first time the black face of the visitor. He saw neither nose nor mouth: only small pointed ears. The eyes, oval and yellow, were particularly bright and surrounded by a green edge. On the iris the witness noticed small black and red veins, the pupil was black and oval (note from vog: he saw all this at 25 m distance? This creature must have had ENORMOUS eyes!) When the eyelids lowered, the face became completely dark. Then the being answered the witness by raising his hand and forming a "V" with his index and middle finger (note from vog: unless it was donkey ears he was representing!) after which he turned towards the back wall. He put one foot flat against the masonry, then the other and climbed the wall holding his legs straight, arrived at the top of this 3 m high obstacle, he tilted forward to descend (probably) on the other side. A minute having elapsed, V.M. saw an aura of white light appear behind the wall and a round object gradually appear, of about 5 m in diameter, which eventually rose vertically to 20m, then tilted and left behind a luminous trail. During the flight of the craft there was a sound like the rubbing of the elytra of a cricket, which amplified into a whistling when the craft left. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976 - P.79 to 83 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2751 ### Event 35480 (159CE19A) **Date:** 12/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Wave of observations in [France](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/FR.html). **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1973.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2635 ### Event 35481 (AC0C3DF2) **Date:** 12/1973 **Time:** 08:00 **Location:** ST.-PIERRE-DE-BOST, FR **Description:** 2 observer(s).

The incidents first receive wide publicity in the December 22 Kansas City Times, which takes note of the fact that most of the deaths are Black Angus. They have died within a few miles of US 81 in a dozen counties in north-central Kansas. Many show knife marks on the carcasses, including the apparent butchering of sex organs. The lack of blood and footprints is also puzzling. Sheriffs from the affected counties meet and decide that cultists are responsible. But according to the Kansas State University Veterinarian Laboratory in Manhattan, the animals have died of bloat and coyotes have eaten the soft parts. Many ranchers reject the explanation. Mystery helicopters are also linked to the mutilations. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 133; “[Cattle Mutilations Baffle](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96664156/) [Kansas Farmers, Officials,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96664236/)” Kansas City \(Mo.\) Times, December 22, 1973, pp. 1–2, 16; Jerome Clark, “Strange Case of the Cattle Killings,” Fate 27, no. 8 \(August 1974\): 79–90; Roberta Donovan and Keith Wolverton, [Mystery Stalks the Prairie](https://archive.org/details/mysterystalkstheprairierobertadonovankeithwolverton/page/n1/mode/2up)[,](https://archive.org/details/mysterystalkstheprairierobertadonovankeithwolverton/page/n1/mode/2up) THAR Institute, 1976 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4992 ### Event 35484 (C23D3F6D) **Date:** 12/1973 **Description:** [Donald E.

The large end of the cone was revolving, and it was emitting silver streaks from the short end. It shot away to the southeast at a very high speed. At 7:00 that evening a shiny, silver cigar-shaped object descended and paced a car with a mother and daughter in Sugar Grove, Ohio. The UFO had a red light on one end, a green light on the other, and a pulsating white light in the center. It fixed a beam of light on the car and pursued it for 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Newspaper Clippings file, December 6, 1973; Geri Wilhelm, Skylook, February 1974, p. 9 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8106 ### Event 35487 (B56B5BEA) **Date:** 12/2/1973 **Location:** FRANCE, Carteret-Barneville **Description:** (Translated from French) Two fishermen, father Georges Jean and son Noël, arrived on the field around 05:30 in the morning. A big light was revealed at sea level, on the sand. Stunned, the fishermen did not dare to advance at first, but still went down towards the beach, each one going towards his lines. The son saw the light right on his lines and went to get the father, explaining that the light was at the heart of his nets. They headed towards it, pointing their lamps in front of them. The light did not move. They were scared and went back up towards their mopeds. Before leaving, they saw the yellow light go out, then a blue-green beam swept the ground and the dunes. Apart from fear, the witnesses felt nothing. (J. C. BOURRET: "la nouvelle vague des S.V." - France Empire 1975 - P. 62,63) The same night, a curious accident happened on the coast. The trawler Archipel which was near the breakers of Urville just west of Cherbourg and on the trajectory of the object, lost its way, apparently due to a disturbance of its Decca-navigator (L.D.L.N), a deviation of the compass (J.Vallée Collège invisible p. 72). The boat hit the rocks and sank. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." - éd. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 426) They advanced to about 150 m from the object which had the appearance of an intense yellow window of 3.50m long by 1.50m high emitting a conical beam towards the ground. (...) but it suddenly changed: the yellow light went out. At the place where it had hovered was now a blue-green balloon which flew away at 6:05. **Reference:** Jacques VALLEE: "Le collège invisible" J'AI LU 1975, p. 65 à 67 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2747 ### Event 35488 (8FCE56F9) **Date:** 12/2/1973 **Location:** BELGIUM, Boondael (south-southeast of Brussels) **Description:** (Translated from French) At 6:30, the witness, Rita Franco, was returning from a short walk with her young shepherd dog. As she was climbing the steps of her building, she heard a crackling noise. She turned around and saw, towards the Chaussée de Boitsfort, a gray-blue luminous beam. It was directed vertically towards the sky and was hollow. The top of the beam was cut horizontally. While she was looking at this phenomenon, it started to move: the crackling was replaced by a whistling. During its movement, the beam described quite tight circles. The dog's fur was literally standing on end. She expected to see the phenomenon reappear momentarily, hidden by a building, but then she saw a gray-matte craft emerge, which stopped in the air after a silent trajectory of about ten meters. This thing was not lit. It was egg-shaped, with the large end downwards. It seemed to have important edges or welds, but too small to be wings. At that moment, the panicked dog ran towards the hall and she followed it. She hoped to be able to examine the phenomenon from the terrace, but when she got there, there was nothing to see anymore. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976 - pp. 76-79 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2748 ### Event 35489 (03F5E3DB) **Date:** 12/2/1973 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Observation of [M.

Almost at the top of the steep hill they saw a strange light illuminating the chapel. They abandoned their mopeds and continued on foot: they discovered a circular object about 10 meters in diameter and about 3.5 meters high, resting on legs, a bit lower down. The object was the color of aluminum and they heard a faint humming like that of a small electric motor. All around the dome there were red and white flashing lights. A door opened in the middle, sliding on the upper part of the dome. They were scared! They went back down to their mopeds, avoiding making any noise, and returned to Fabrègues to alert people. Three of their friends went back up with them. When they arrived at the site they were blinded by an intense light that prevented them from seeing anything. The story spread around the village, and when everyone arrived at the top, they saw an object that seemed to be trying to land, but it disappeared over the crest of the hill in the direction of Sète. - Traces (GARREAU and LAVIER: "Face aux extra-terrestres" - DELARGE 1975 - J'ai Lu, pp. 207-209) Note: the Fabrègues case is thought to be a hoax set up by the two main young witnesses, but no counter-investigation has come to our knowledge. **Reference:** M.

In Watsonville, Santa Cruz County, California early that morning at 5:50 a.m. a UFO with red lights on top and silver lights on the bottom moved gradually north after remaining stationary for 10 minutes. The UFO was viewed through binoculars, and reportedly had a wide red band that rotated around the middle of the craft's body **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ted Phillips, newspaper clippings, Chula Vista Star & Watsonville Register, dated December 13, 1973 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8305 ### Event 35547 (5FC03886) **Date:** 12/10/1973 **Description:** About four hours later (6:20 p.m. local time) in Ouzoues-sur-Loire, France a 50-year-old couple, several other witnesses, and gendarmes watched a silent, 5 meter tall cone-shaped UFO only 20 meters from the ground fly away toward the southwest. Two hours after that, at about 8:30 p.m. in Hochries, Germany near the Austrian-Bavarian border, Friedrich Lennartz, age 33, and Peter Zettel, age 29, had a close encounter of the second kind when a multi-colored, ovoid UFO responded to a red signal rocket they had fired to get the UFO's attention. The UFO had been hovering near a mountain ski resort with the pointed end up. Its size was estimated as nine meters in diameter and 12-14 meters tall. The top portion looked like a yellow dome. Four rows of colored lights (red, green, blue, and white) rotated counterclockwise around the lower portion. They experienced loud static on their short wave radio as the UFO changed color to a dazzling red, made a 90-degree turn, and sped toward the witnesses, traveling 5-6 kilometers in 10 seconds. It hovered close to their mountain for two more hours as their dogs whimpered to be let into the cabin. The UFO then shot upward at a steep angle at "breakneck speed." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume 2: A Thirty Year Report, p. 47 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8306 ### Event 35548 (B4DE960D) **Date:** 12/11/1973 **Time:** 18:30 **Location:** CALVERT, TX **Description:** 3 / car.

It appeared to be rocking back and forth. She went back inside the house and she next heard a loud humming sound, which stopped for a few moments, then started again. She then saw through her kitchen window a strange being standing 15 feet away. He was of normal height, but wore a bright, tight-fitting uniform and a black helmet. His skin was reddish bronze in color and he seemed not to have a mouth or a nose. His eyes were two round holes that stared at the witness intensely. A yellowish beam of light illuminated the man from an unknown source in the sky. The witness felt like she going into a trance, and began receiving telepathic messages from the being. At one point she felt compelled to go to the front of the house, where she saw a floating box about three inches long and very shiny, it seemed to have had a calming effect on her. After the incident she went into a fit of hysterics. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

"That is how I found myself at the bottom of the crater (note from vog: extinguished! Phew!); And suddenly I saw a flashing light above the volcano (...) It was only when it stopped two meters above the ground, about twenty meters from me, that I noticed it had the shape of a huge bell, four meters high and seven meters in diameter. It had the color of silver metal". The lower hatch of the craft opened and inclined towards the ground, unfolding like a removable footstep. "Seeing two feet appear, then two legs clad in green, I was panic-stricken. I only regained my composure when, above a thin silhouette, about 1.20m high, I saw the face of this mysterious being. With his slanted eyes, wide forehead, black beard and olive complexion, he had an Asian type. A kind of halo enveloped his face. (...) (Vorilhon follows the stranger inside the saucer) At the request of the extraterrestrial, he will return five days in a row at the same time to the bottom of the crater. He will receive a long message and stunning details about the origin of the worlds. (December 13, 1973) **Reference:** René PACAUT: "They Met Extraterrestrials" ed.

The sky was particularly cloudy and low. Suddenly, towards the east she saw the phenomenon, as if it had just lit up: first a kind of milky dome above a meadow 100 m away from her, which was stationary close to the ground. Mme Jendreaux had the impression that it was made of a transparent or translucent material because she seemed to make out a kind of vertical "stovepipe" inside. On either side of this pipe, the dome was stained with two vaguely circular dark areas. The dome was the size of a small tractor. Above it, offset to the right, were two yellow neon tubes placed one above the other, horizontal and motionless. These tubes were clearly visible just above the line of trees. The whole thing was perfectly silent and Mme Jendreaux, fascinated, watched the phenomenon for several minutes without moving from the doorstep and without thinking to call her husband inside the house a few metres away from her. Suddenly she felt drawn, sucked towards the phenomenon. She had the distinct impression that she was rising, that her feet were leaving the ground... So, she clung to the door handle. At the same moment, the dog, which had not yet reacted, panicked and ran between her mistress's legs to take refuge in the house. At the animal's touch, Mme Jendreaux lowered her eyes and when she looked up again... there was nothing. The sky was empty. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L.

Upon his arrival it had tilted, emitted red-orange to white and disappeared into the sky at an incredible speed. Gendarmerie alerted and traces on the ground observed. (J.C. BOURRET: "La nouvelle vague des S.V." - France Empire 1975, p.78 to 82) ... the witness alerted the gendarmerie who, less than 3 hours later, was on the scene. They discovered, not only, clear traces left by the cigar, but also footprints of small feet measuring 17 cm long. (Erich ZUCHER: "Les apparitions d'humanoïdes" - ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 105) Around 7 o'clock, on a cloudy and foggy day, Mr. Liefooghe sees the shape of a DS Citroën car, with two yellow-orange headlights directed towards him. He finds it strange that a car is parked against the flow of traffic, but continues to move at a moderate speed. At 50 m from the parking spot of "the thing" he suddenly sees a craft leaving the side of the road and, having reached the middle of the road, performs a kind of turn. This "car" has no rear lights or reflectors. 400 m further on he sees an orange glow in front of him on the left. He then sees a large cigar-shaped object in a field 100 m away. No superstructure is visible. Quickly the luminosity of the cigar increases in intensity, it quickly tilts at about 20 degrees on its own axis. The luminosity is at this moment so strong that it partially blurs the previously sharp outlines. The surrounding fields are lit by a yellow-orange light and the witness sees it as if it were broad daylight. The illumination does not vary during the ascent of the object, but it suddenly stops after a few moments. Traces on the ground: traces of the craft and traces of small feet. **Reference:** Charles GARREAU: "Alerte dans le ciel: le dossier des enlèvements" ed.

He did not stay around but came back later with investigators, who found ground marks and small footprints. At five a.m. CST another cigar-shaped object with two small wings approached a home in La Grange, Illinois rapidly from the west. The object was self-luminous and appeared solid, and passed low over the treetops. At 4:20 p.m. Pacific Standard Time a photograph of a luminous UFO was taken in Spokane, Washington and the event was witnessed by two families. At 10:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, on a highway near a farm east of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada a man saw a bright light in his rearview mirror. It looked like the revolving light on a train, except there were no railroad tracks in the vicinity. He then noticed an eight-foot tall giant running in a ditch alongside the truck at speeds up to 60 mph. The being touched the hood and roof of the truck before being out-distanced. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** newspaper clipping dated January 1, 1974; La Grange (Illinois) Suburban Life, January 5, 1974; Gert Herb case investigation files; John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants and Critters, p. 20 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8670 --- ## Year: 1974, 1151 Event(s), (Back to Top) ### Event 35622 (AB659A19) **Date:** 1974 **Location:** Washington DC **Description:** Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) renewed **Type:** law **Reference:** [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Information_Act_(United_States)) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_674 ### Event 35623 (E2BC7C8A) **Date:** 1974 **Location:** AUSTRALIA, Clifton Bore (South Australia) **Description:** (Translated from French) Two "short" entities were taking a fossil hunter away in a UFO.

If she could figure out what stars are on the map, she might be able to determine where the UFO came from. With much difficulty and many failed attempts, Fish creates a 3D map that indicates the relevant stars are the two in the Zeta Reticuli binary system, 39.3 light years from earth.

Barry, a Marine Corps sergeant, was making his usual early morning five mile run in the park in Santa Ana, California. He was out running in a driving rainstorm, when he came upon a seven-foot-tall, bulky figure standing in a slumped forward posture, with long arms dangling nearly to the ground. Behind it was hovering an orange pulsating flying saucer, only a few feet off the ground. The creature's head accounted for more than half of its height. It had very large eyes, and its legs were "squashed" and "stubby." It waddled up to Barry and struck him on the chest, knocking him into a pool of water. It then waddled away and climbed aboard the UFO, which rose into the sky. Others reportedly saw UFOs over Santa Ana that day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They had left Chateaulun a little earlier and were in Saint-Nic, at the top of a slight height, when one of them saw an object in the sky, which caught his attention and aroused his curiosity. Gendarme Kaminski stopped the staff car at the request of his companion and both observed the strange "thing". "It was approximately in the axis of Cap de la Chèvre," explains Mr. Le Stunff. The color was orange, the shape elongated. As we said, it was 8:20. It was not very clear but the night had stopped. Due to its direction, it is obvious that this light could not be confused with that of the sun. The object was motionless and the light contrasted with the "cloud" behind it. We observed it for about five minutes. But during this period, it changed shape, in fact it looked like a kind of "condensation" of "smoke", I can not think of another word. At the start it had an elongated shape, then it took the shape of a dome (a mushroom cap) before coming to a standstill above the aircraft carrier "Foch" in the bay of Douarnenez. Then the whole seemed to burst before taking the shape of a circle. After that, the UFO changed shape again into a dome, but this time the condensation surrounded it at its base, before taking altitude and disappearing into the clouds. (..) "(Jean François BOEDEC: "Les OVNI en Bretagne, Anatomie d'un Phénomène", ed. Fernand Lanore 1978, pp. 90 to 92) At the place called "Coat Madiou" two gendarmes from the Telgrunc brigade, Le Strunff (the Stroumph, blue ???) and Kaminski, saw in the sky a strange object at 8:20 in the morning. It was in the shape of an orange half-sphere and was followed by a pale orange cloud. The phenomenon came to stabilize above a building of the navy in the bay of Douarnenez: the aircraft carrier Foch. Later the witnesses learned that the nuclear submarine "Redoutable" was on an immersion mission under the "Foch". The cloud came to stabilize under the object and the contours became clearer. Later, this kind of "mushroom" luminous burst or seemed to explode to take the shape of a pale orange sphere. Then it took its initial shape and its first colors, the contours became crazy, it rose slowly to disappear into the clouds.

The car radio was working normally. There was a bright moonlight and the sky was clear. Suddenly the car headlights went out and almost simultaneously the engine stopped after a few stutters and the radio became silent. The car continued to roll for about a hundred meters, then its owner stopped it with the handbrake. He was about to get out of the car to see what was happening, his hand already on the door handle: he didn't have time to complete his gesture when he saw, on the right side, in the elevated field, what he took for a hay wagon 150 m away from him. But there were white and orange reflections on the object and he also noticed that it was standing on three legs. The whole object reminded him of a "Tommy" helmet. Through the windshield he then saw two silhouettes in the field, 30 m away from the car. They were walking towards him in a rigid and slow manner, stopped at 15 m and then resumed their progression. The first one, the smallest, looked like a Michelin man but with barely marked rings. He had a helmet on, the round helmet had a large window behind which one could see a face. He was holding a kind of short thick ruler in his right hand and pointing it towards the car. The second one was a bit taller (1.20 m to 1.30 m) and he was wearing an opaque cubic helmet, except for the front wall which was transparent and showed a strange face. The two faces were alike like those of twins: pear-shaped head, grayish complexion, two perfectly round eyes like agate beads, barely pronounced eyebrow arch. Small nose with little relief, the mouth a horizontal slit without lips. When one of them opened his mouth at one point, the witness saw neither teeth nor tongue. The costume was gray metallic matte. The shoes were big and pointed. Inside the helmets there was a soft light. Shortly after the beings had stopped very close to the ditch, the witness felt a slight shock at the back of the skull, at the height of the cerebellum: after this shock he heard (before he heard nothing, the windows being closed): a deep modulated sound, increasing in intensity. During all this time a third Michelin man stayed close to the craft in the field. The face-to-face was suddenly disturbed: suddenly the two beings turned their heads in a perfectly synchronized movement, the sound stopped, the beings turned around and quickly went back to the UFO. The tripod disappeared, the beings were inside the thing which rose 50 cm and after 3 or 4 seconds of immobility it rose horizontally and disappeared. In the rearview mirror the witness saw the white lights of a car approaching. Slumped in the seat the witness will see a Belgian motorist open the door for him and ask him: "Did they hurt you?" He had seen them too, he had engine stutters but not the headlights going out. After a few starter solicitations the witness's car was also able to leave. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976- pp. 83 to 89 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2760 ### Event 35660 (111D5324) **Date:** 1/7/1974 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) A Belgian businessman is driving near the French-Belgian border. His headlights suddenly go out. His engine stops abruptly. His radio goes silent. The driver pulls the handbrake and stops on the side of the road. He then sees in a field, 150 m away, an object that looks like a British helmet \(the famous "flat cap"\) and sees two small beings come out of it. The smallest one, who looks like the Michelin Man, wears a round helmet. He has strange eyes and a slit for a mouth. The bigger one wears a uniform, with a cubic helmet and a belt. When the bigger one seems to open his mouth, the businessman feels a shock at the base of his skull and hears a kind of modulated sound. At that moment, a car appears on the horizon. The two humanoids quickly move away, walking with abrupt and identical gestures, without seeming bothered by the mud covering the field. According to the businessman, their legs were only partially visible.

He sees a landed domed disc with a flat bottom like a WWI helmet, 23–33 feet in diameter and 7–10 feet wide. It has a flange around its base and three legs. White and orange alternating bands are on the glowing object. Two humanoid beings approach him. They have broad shoulders, heads shaped like inverted pears, long arms, large eyes, and no noses. One is about 4 feet tall, the other somewhat taller; a third being remains near the craft. They wear internally lit cube- shaped helmets with the face visible, gray jumpsuits, and gloves. The taller being comes within 12–15 feet of the vehicle, then opens and closes its mouth. The witness feels a shock to the back of his head and hears a low- pitched sound. The two humanoids quickly return to the craft, which now pulses with an electric blue color, and departs. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** MM.

He saw a landed object 150 meters away in a field to his right. The UFO was shaped like a World War I British helmet, was 7 to 10 meters wide, and stood on tripod landing gear. It had patches of orange luminescence on top with a white light underneath. Two beings were seen coming from the direction of the object, walking slowly and stiffly toward the car. The shorter entity wore an outfit with horizontal rings around the torso and a round helmet with a large, circular face plate showing a pear shaped, grayish head with no hair, round "marble like" eyes, a rudimentary nose, and a slit-like lipless mouth. He held an object like a short thick ruler with a pointed tip, aimed at the car. The taller entity wore a cubical helmet transparent in form, showing a face identical with the other's but with a small rectangular box under the chin. His suit was a dull metallic gray one-piece coverall, including gloves and heavy, pointed boots. He wore a black belt with a luminous disc in front and a diagonal "Sam Browne" strap from belt to shoulder, with a vertical row of "buttons" on each side of the chest. Both beings had long arms. The interior of the helmets appeared to be illuminated. A third entity was seen standing guard near the object.

The two beings approached to within four meters of the car and the taller was seen opening and closing his mouth. The witness felt a slight shock on the back of his head and heard, simultaneously, a low pitched, modulated sound. The two suddenly wheeled around and walked quickly back to the object, which now pulsated an electric blue color on top. The three beings boarded, the landing gear withdrew, and the object rose slightly, hovered, then ascended rapidly at a 60 degree angle. A car was then seen approaching, whose driver said he had seen the object and its occupants. As the primary witness drove off, he continued to get poor reception on his car radio. The duration of the close encounter was about 20 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Justice, a night guard, having taken his car at the end of his shift, at three in the morning, was driving normally on the long park avenue, when suddenly his headlights dimmed and his engine stopped. In a few seconds Justice saw large lights descending and spreading out in the sky a short distance in front of his car. Then the rainbow of lights went out, and an oval-shaped light about two meters in diameter appeared. It was too bright for him to make out any shape of the fuselage. "The trees, the road, everything was lit up," said Justice. "And in my car I could have cut my nails, it was so bright." The object was getting closer. Soon it was only two meters in front of the car and slightly above. He could now see inside the oval object. It was a golden-colored room with 5 occupants seated on high chairs on the left side. They were motionless, in a row, wearing capes of the same color as the chairs. (...) their hair was so long that it covered part of their faces. They all looked alike.

He sees a display of aerial lights descending a short distance in front of him. The blinking lights are multicolored “like a rainbow.” Suddenly they blink out and are replaced by a blinding steady white light about 6 feet ahead of and 3 feet above the car. The light is coming from the inside of the object, where he can see a lighted room with a golden aisle and five occupants seated on the left-hand side in a straight row. Each seat is a different color, and the garments of the occupants match the color of the seat. Each has long brown hair that reaches the floor. The object departs suddenly, the interior blinking out and the colored lights reappearing. The car engine starts without difficulty. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Herbert S.

This object descended vertically and came to a stop above a meadow. Mr. Jaffres then decided to take his car and go to the scene "to be sure". To his surprise, upon arrival, the UFO had changed shape and presented itself as an immense vertical cylinder of metallic appearance, 6 meters high and 3 meters wide. Two rotors were visible above and below it: they emitted intermittent flashes of light. The witness, not very reassured by this presence, sent out several beacon calls: the craft then began to rise and fall! And it would do so with each call. Mr. Jaffres parked his vehicle near a slope, grabbed his... pistol and advanced towards the meadow... The UFO approached slowly... Mr. Jaffre then felt a tingling in his eyes... That was too much. Our man quickly returned to his home. The observation continued for 2 hours from the window of the first floor, in the company of two other witnesses, before the cylinder transformed again into a sphere before returning to the clouds... (Jean François BOEDEC: "Les OVNI en BRETAGNE, Anatomie d'un Phénomène", éd. Fernand Lanore 1978, p. 74 ) It was 10:30 pm, it was raining, Mr. and Mrs. Jaffrès and Mrs. brother were about to go to bed, when, through the window, a bright light caught their attention. It came from a ball two to three times as big as the full moon, under the cloud ceiling. The wind was blowing hard from west to east. This ball was descending at great speed vertically, slowing down greatly when it was no more than 200 or 300 m from the ground, moving above a field. The shape, then more distinct, was cylindrical, with the lower and upper ends formed of rings. It was about 300 m from the house. Mr. Jaffrès finally, after already 3/4 of an hour of observation, took the decision to go out in the car and go to the edge of the field. Despite the rainy weather, the whole area of the place called "Belle-Vue" was lit up. After 10 minutes, he had the idea of making beacon calls. At each "code-phare" passage, the object went up and down, giving the impression of a helicopter in difficulty. The witness then had the certainty that the extreme rings were turning on the cylinder, projecting sparks and sparks of the color of a continuous flash. The witness got out of the car. The object sometimes moved slowly, sometimes much more quickly. When it came back to the witness, he felt for the first time a discharge of heat very clearly and he heard a buzzing like that of a fan. The witness was not really afraid, but became nervous and when the object was 20 m from him, he felt tingles and his eyes were tingling. Caution: he had armed himself with a defense pistol before going to meet the UFO... Then, seeing the object rise and believing that it was leaving, the witness returned to the house. It was already twelve thirty. They continued to watch the evolutions of what they took for takeoff attempts. At 03:00 in the morning, the light dimmed and they saw the ball return to the clouds. The next day the witness went to the field to find any traces: he found grass lying in places and in some places there was a liquid substance that looked like fuel but was not. Unfortunately, he did not have the idea of collecting a little of this liquid for analysis.

Going outside people saw blue and orange lights floating in a circle around Cader Mountain, east of the village. Aa retired military man using the name of "Robert Prescott" that told him that he and some others had been assigned to transport two crates from the crash site at a place called Porton Down military personnel opened the crates and the Prescott saw two humanoid figures about 5 to 6 ft tall, very thin, almost skeletal in nature with a covering skin. Other units supposedly transported live aliens from the "crash" site. (HC addition # 3925; CSETI, Nicholas Redfern, "Cosmic Crashes", Type: H) (NICAP: 07 - Entity Cases) **Reference:** [NICAP Listing by Date PDF](http://www.nicap.org/NSID/NSID_DBListingbyDate.pdf) **Source:** NICAP_DB, **ID:** NICAP_DB_4374 ### Event 35702 (3AC6248D) **Date:** 1/23/1974 **Locations:** Llandrillo, northern Wales; Cadair Bronwen mountain, east of the village; Leicester University, England; RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales; Dee Estuary; South Wales **Description:** 8:30 p.m. Witnesses at Llandrillo, northern Wales, see a bright object followed by a luminous tail and \(according to one witness\) a blinking blue light. The object is motionless for several minutes, during which time it dims then becomes very bright. It appears to crash around Cadair Bronwen mountain, east of the village. Many people hear a terrific explosion and a violent shaking of the ground recorded up to 60 miles away. Astronomers at Leicester University, England, record at least three fireball meteors this evening. The British Geological Survey identifies the source of the explosion as an earthquake. Police and a mountain rescue team from RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales, are in the area almost immediately and cordon off access to the supposed crash site on a barren hilltop. They find no trace of a crash the next day, but a nurse on the way to the crash site after being telephoned by police headquarters is on her way up the mountain with her daughters when she sees something sitting on the ground ahead of her. It seems to be intact and is large, circular, and glowing orange. The nurse and her daughters are within a few hundred feet when police and military forces show up and clearly tell her to leave the area. Researcher [Tony Dodd](https://colinandrews.net/TonyDoddPassing.html) is reportedly approached by a retired military man using the name of “Robert Prescott” who tells him that he and some others were assigned to transport two oblong crates from the crash site to a place called Porton Down where the UK Ministry of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory is located. They are instructed not to stop for anyone. Military personnel open the crates and Prescott sees two humanoid figures, apparently dead, about 5–6 ft tall, very thin, almost skeletal in nature with a covering skin. These are placed in decontamination suits. Other units supposedly transport live aliens from the crash site. At 10:00 p.m., a man watches a luminous sphere descend into the sea near the Dee Estuary about 25 miles north. [Nick Redfern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick%5FRedfern) speculates that a UK version of Project Moon Dust might be in activation, which could explain reports of mystery helicopters in the area in prior weeks. [Jenny Randles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny%5FRandles) hears later from a former UK government official that a crashed UFO is being kept in a military base in South Wales. In May, Welsh MP [Dafydd Elis-Thomas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dafydd%5FElis-Thomas) asks Defence Minister [Brynmor John](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brynmor%5FJohn) if any official investigation was made; John says the only official investigation was made by the RAF Valley team. National Archives files released in 2005 show that the MoD consulted the Meteorological Office and DI55, which says the meteor explanation is the likeliest. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Berwyn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwyn%5FMountain%5FUFO%5Fincident) [Mountain UFO incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwyn%5FMountain%5FUFO%5Fincident)”; Jenny Randles, “The Night the Mountain Exploded,” IUR 21, no. 4 \(Winter 1996\): 9– 11, 32; Nick Redfern, A Covert Agenda: UFO Secrecy Exposed, Simon & Schuster, 1997, pp. 116–124; Andy Roberts, “Fire on the Mountain: The Berwyn Mountain Incident,” IUR 24, no. 3 \(Fall 1999\): 16–23, 30; UFOFiles2, [pp. 90–91](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n149/mode/2up); “[Files Released on 1974 ‘Welsh Roswell,’](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-10863645)” BBC News, August 5, 2010; Andy Roberts, UFO Down?

Running outside, many people saw blue and orange lights floating in a circle around Cader Mountain east of the village. Police and RAF personnel were in the area quickly and cordoned off access to a supposed crash site on the barren hilltop.

She and her daughters got to within a few hundred feet of teh object when the police and military showed up and told her to leave. According to UFO researcher Tony Dodd, a retired military man using the name of "Robert Prescott" told him that he and some others had been assigned to transport two crates from the crash site to the top secret military weapons research facility at Porton Down near Salisbury, England. According to Prescott, military personnel opened the crates and found two humanoid bodies about 5 to 6 feet tall, and so very thin they were almost skeletal in nature. Other units allegedly transported live aliens from the "crash" site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

"Farmer Huw Lloyd, 39 in 1999, was then a 14-year-old boy watching television at his home in Llandrillo, very close to the crash site, that night in 1974. He says he saw a large object followed by a luminous trail and a flashing blue light. Huw remembers: 'It was amazing how quickly the police arrived and how many people came to see.' Among the arrivals, Redfern says, were units of the British army, and it was they who removed the body of the aliens. One of the soldiers, named 'James Prescott' (pseudonym) was sent from Llanderfel with four other soldiers, and loaded two long oblong boxes into their armored truck". The truck was taking the boxes to the Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment at Porton Down, near Salisbury, in Wiltshire, with the strict order not to stop under any pretext or for anyone. "Mr Prescott is retired today and is too scared to allow the use of his real name. He says that once they arrived "the boxes were opened by senior officers in our presence. We were amazed to see two creatures in decontamination suits. It was obvious that they were not creatures of this world; upon examination they were found to be deceased. They measured 5 to 6 feet, had a humanoid shape, but in a way resembling skeletons covered with skin. Although I did not see the craft at the crash site, I was informed that a large craft had crashed and been found by other army units." **Reference:** Daily Mirror of London for October 22, 1999, "How Alien's My Valley?" **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2763 ### Event 35705 (C3E3E328) **Date:** 1/24/1974 **Time:** 00:00 **Location:** SOUPPES-SUR-LOING, FR **Description:** 2 observer(s).

Alerted by technician Francisco Duarte, captain Rodrigo Freitas saw at Freitas' coast, and facing their plane, at 80 miles, a formation of 5 lights. Two of these lights were spinning. The phenomenon was followed by a trail. The plane was flying at 900 km/h at 19000 feet. The lights were at 16000 feet above the plane. The pilot tried to find out if other planes were confirming this observation and learned that a South African plane had encountered the strange formation 40 minutes earlier. Knowing the position of the other plane, Mr. Freitas later calculated that the formation was flying at a speed of 36000 km/h and made a report to NASA.

Having heard a clanking noise at the entrance, and thinking it was stray dogs, she took her gun, only to scare them. She thus headed towards the door and turned on the outside light. Instead of a dog, she found herself face to face, two meters away, with a simian-looking, hairy creature two meters and twenty centimeters tall. The giant raised his hands above his head. Frightened, the woman shot, thinking he was going to throw himself at her. To her great surprise, he simply disappeared in a burst of light. (...) Her son-in-law, who lived with his wife and children in a trailer 300 meters away, had heard the gunshot. Immediately armed with a 6-shot revolver, he went to his mother-in-law's residence. Approaching, he saw at the edge of the woods "four or five furry shadows". It was a terrifying sight: simian-looking beings two meters tall, with long arms "with glowing eyes like embers". He fired two shots, then ran to his mother-in-law's house. Looking out the window, they both saw at a hundred and fifty meters from them a bright red light motionless above the woods. It looked like a Christmas tree ornament or the rotating beacon of a police car. Panicked, they called the police [note from vog: who came and found no trace..] **Reference:** Leonard STRINGFIELD: "General UFO Alert", ed.

A woman watching TV in rural Fayette County near Uniontown, Pennsylvania, hears a “rattling of tin cans” on her porch. She grabs and loads a shotgun, turns on the porch light, and steps into the doorway of the porch, where she encounters a 7-foot-tall apelike creature with its hands raised in the air. She fires into his midsection and it “just disappeared in a flash of light.” Her son-in-law, who lives in a trailer 100 feet away, hears the shot, grabs a revolver, and heads for her house. Along the way, he sees “shadows of four or five hairy people” who approach him. They have “fire red eyes that glowed in total darkness.” About 1,500 feet away, a red, flashing light hovers above the trees. Investigating police arrive and find no tracks but notice that the animals seem terrified. The son-in-law tells investigator [Stan Gordon](http://www.stangordon.info/wp/stan-gordon/) that he had encountered a similar apelike creature in November 1973. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 556–557; Stan Gordon, “UFO’s, in Relation to Creature Sightings in Pennsylvania,” MUFON 1974 UFO Symposium Proceedings, MUFON, 1974, pp. 132–154 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5019 ### Event 35757 (B5B34092) **Date:** 2/7/1974 **Location:** USA, SPACE **Description:** (Translated from French) RE-ENTRY OF MIDAS 2 LAUNCHED ON MAY 24, 1960 - FALL LOCATION NOT SPECIFIED.

Mullah Umar Siddiq, merchant Ibrahim Khaleb, and physician Muhammad Watif are standing on the roof of the Al-Hud Mosque in Al Mukalla, Yemen, when they see three large white discs gliding slowly downward. They gather some provisions, hire three camels, and head for the Wadi Jawlan 32 miles to the east, where they estimate the objects have landed. At dawn, they dismount to say prayers, and a vivid glow lights up the eastern sky above the Wadi Jawlan for a few seconds. The light is yellowish-white and comes from three beams that are stabbing upwards and fanning out into the sky. Although the light dies down, the beams are still visible, eventually growing paler. They find deep, clear-cut tracks of caterpillar-track vehicles all over the rugged area. At three places, about 325 feet apart, they find numerous scoop marks, about 33 inches wide, in an area in the form of a triangle with sides 17 feet wide. The rock has been fused and melted and the grass and thorn-scrub is burnt. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, “[An Arabian Landing?](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 20, no. 3 \(December 1974\): 12–13 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5021 ### Event 35764 (07609AD4) **Date:** 2/8/1974 **Description:** On this evening at Wadi Jawlan in Yemen east of Al-Makalla, three Arab men saw three large white disc-shaped objects glide toward ground and land in the nearby desert.

Later at the landing site investigators found three imprints, each 85 cm wide, arranged in a triangle with sides 5.3 meters in length. The vegetation was also burnt. On the same evening at 7:30 p.m. a glowing domed disc was sighted in Douvrin, France just 15 meters above the ground. It vanished, then reappeared. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) Gordon Creighton, FSR, December 1974, p. 12; (2) Lumieres dans la Nuit, December 1974 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_755 ### Event 35765 (BEA23184) **Date:** 2/9/1974 **Time:** 01:20 **Location:** VIGEVANO **Description:** Dark rectangle / 20M altitude 70M away.

In a few moments after accepting their invitation they flew over San Francisco, then the Hawaiian Islands. His round trip excursion took only 45 minutes. The purpose of their presence, he was told, was to warn of the "possible destruction of Solar System by atomic bombs." The UFOnauts were between four and five feet tall, wore white coveralls, and had long, pointed chins, with tall foreheads and small eyes, ears, and noses. They claimed that their lifespan was between 125-175 years. Mr. Swanner was instructed to inform the public. He claims to possess proof, but it "cannot now be revealed." This was his third close encounter with the aliens. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ted Bloecher, MUFON Symposium Proceedings 1975, p. 51 & 55; Stanley Ingram, Pulaski Citizen, October 30, 1974; David F.

They feel as though they are “hit by a blast of wind or force field.” The engine and lights give out, the steering goes, and the truck seems to momentarily float, come back down, and coast to a stop. Ahead of them, just over a hill, they see a large, round object with a domed top and wings. The other object approaches again. One brother points a flashlight at it, whereupon they both get an intense feeling of isolation that lasts about 20 minutes. Since the truck appears to be damaged, they flag down a passing car and call for a tow truck. When the tow truck hauls it away, the rear wheels fall off. It needs new tires, a rear axle, outside housing, and gears. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Car Disabled by UFO?](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201974%2005%2000%20-%20May-June.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 22, no. 6 \(May/June 1974\): 4–5; UFOEv II 218–219 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5022 ### Event 35789 (6CB24B5F) **Date:** 2/14/1974 **Description:** Two brothers were moving some of their possessions in a truck near Ely, Nevada. At around 4:15 a.m. the engine of the truck began missing and the lights flickered, so they shifted into neutral. They then felt a blast of wind shake the truck and saw an orange colored light moving low to the ground from right to left. They stopped the truck and saw six different lights or objects surrounding them: three blue stationary lights, a red pulsating light, a silver colored saucer, and a reddish-orange saucer. The red light then came directly at the truck, passed close by, and continued on behind them. After the objects had finally disappeared, they found the rear axle on the truck broken in half. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 360, citing CUFOS **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_917 ### Event 35790 (EFE0B1BD) **Date:** 2/17/1974 (approximate) **Time:** 04:30 **Location:** NEAR BOWLIN SPRING, OK **Description:** Farmer.

Galley says his department has been interested in UFO reports since the French wave of 1954. Ministry records contain many baffling radar/visual cases. He speaks of the strong quality of the evidence and that people must regard UFOs with a “completely open mind.” The mass of UFO reports “from the airborne gendarmerie, from the mobile gendarmerie, and from the gendarmerie charged with conducting investigations,” all of which are forwarded to CNES, would make people see that it is “pretty disturbing.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[French Minister Speaks on UFOs,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 20, no. 2 \(October 1974\): 3–4; Good Above, [p. 129](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/128/mode/2up); Gildas Bourdais, “From GEPAN to SEPRA: Official UFO Studies in France,” IUR 25, no. 4 \(Winter 2000–2001\): 11; Yves Herbo, “[OVNIs et divulgation: Le Ministre des Armées françaises l’a fait en](https://www.sciences-faits-histoires.com/blog/ovni-ufo/ovnis-et-divulgation-le-ministre-des-armees-francaises-l-a-fait-en-1974.html) [1974,](https://www.sciences-faits-histoires.com/blog/ovni-ufo/ovnis-et-divulgation-le-ministre-des-armees-francaises-l-a-fait-en-1974.html)” Sciences Faits et Histoire, February 2, 2015 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5023 ### Event 35806 (F0BAC0C7) **Date:** 2/22/1974 **Location:** FRANCE, Sauvagny (Allier) **Description:** (Translated from French) At around 11pm a fairly thick fog forced Jean-Michel Lartigaud and his wife Marie-Thérèse to drive at about 60 km/h. At Sauvagny the fog dissipated and visibility became perfect. "At the same moment, I felt a great cold that froze me from head to foot, followed by a shiver like I had never felt before. In front of me, to the right of the road and 3 to 4 m below, I saw an enormous luminous object, which seemed to be resting on the ground. Instinctively I slowed down, shaking my wife who was dozing. It looked like a cylinder 8m high and 3m in diameter at the top and slightly narrower at the base. I could not detect any solid structure. It was perfectly still. The top was made up of a kind of camembert box lid 3m in diameter and 1m thick. It emitted a dry light of extraordinary power, almost bluish white, but this light did not radiate. Under the lid a luminous cone evoked frosted glass. On the ground, the base was not clearly defined. Everything remained dark around this object whose sharp outlines contrasted sharply with the black of the night. "Go away, get away quickly," Marie-Thérèse ordered, feeling a sense of danger. Almost immediately the fog raised a cottony wall in front of the car headlights **Reference:** GARREAU and LAVIER: "Face aux extra-terrestres" - DELARGE 1975 - J'ai Lu, pp. 201 to 203 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2770 ### Event 35807 (C35B7811) **Date:** 2/22/1974 **Location:** CHIROLS-VEYRIERES, FR **Description:** 2+young child.

It should be mentioned that on several occasions before this date, Koehring operators would have seen in the sky of 731, a strange object, like a very large star, of an even greater luminosity. After remaining motionless, this "thing" quickly disappeared from their view. But according to several employees of this camp, what happened during the night of February 26th, around 4 o'clock in the morning, is much more surprising! J.S.L., who told us this strange fact himself, was traveling in a truck with his work companion F.B. and the "thing" suddenly appeared to them at a distance so close that they were frightened and called for help to the camp by radio. According to these two eyewitnesses, the craft stopped nearby, and they stopped their truck. They could no longer use the radio because the interference made it unusable. For at least 20 minutes, this mysterious apparition remained there, motionless, at the height of the treetops. "It must have been at least 30 feet long," J.S.L. told us. A blinding light prevented them from distinguishing the shape of this unknown craft, but they saw a green light on top. As for the rest, it was rather oval in shape, very bright yellow and incandescent red in the center. To finish the story, a car with J.P.L. and P.G. on board left the camp in response to the call they had received. Unable to communicate with the occupants of the truck, they suspected that something not very nice was happening and accelerated. When they arrived at the scene of the "appearance", these last ones saw the object sparkling with all its lights, which immediately described a large circle and disappeared like a flash in the firmament. This account of Mr. S.L. is supported by at least five other employees who were witnesses of this apparition. (...) " (February 26, 1974) **Reference:** Jean THOMAS: "Synthèse Ovni", ed.

The object was about the size of a car. When they turned their car headlights off, the UFO responded by rapidly approaching. Their encounter lasted three minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** W. K.

He had just crossed the bridge over the Thon and was face to face with "two cosmonauts" and noticed at the same time that he was stopped. The men were about 1.70m tall and wore dark suits. They had a cubic helmet on their head, with an opening in the face area, but in the darkness the witness could not make out anything. They wore gloves covering their arms up to the shoulders. He was astonished as he did not remember braking or stopping. On the left side of the road, in a meadow below at 35m, he could make out a large dark circular mass: there was no light or noise. The two figures, facing the witness, firmly held the handlebars of the moped. The witness was scared, especially as their gestures seemed to urge him to eat something. The witness was panicked. One of the beings made a sign to his companion who started rummaging in a kind of bag he was carrying on his back: he took out a small piece of substance (1 cm²) which he presented to the witness, urging him to eat it. He ate it. It was brown, like chocolate, soft in consistency, without taste. As soon as he had swallowed the material, the figures stepped aside and the witness was able to leave. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976- p. 52 à 54 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2773 ### Event 35834 (C9B5681E) **Date:** 2/28/1974 **Location:** FRANCE, Châteaugay (Puy de Dôme) **Description:** (Translated from French) At 10:17 PM, the witness was watching television when he saw through the window a large row of circular portholes topped at the front by another row of teardrop-shaped portholes, suggesting the curve of a more or less curved surface. The portholes seemed to go all the way around the craft, but this change in shape happened suddenly, all at once. They emitted a fixed light exactly like that of a sodium vapor trail. The witness went outside and heard an unusual sound like the amplitude and frequency modulation of an electric motor whose speed was suddenly changed. The witness wanted to go and inspect the area but his wife held him back. (February 28, 1974) **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet... " ed.

A voice coming from the ceiling tells him not to be afraid. On the empty wall a door appears and opens to let a large egg-shaped object pass through. From this egg emerges a human: the witness's double! It has the consistency of human flesh and even has Dirant's voice, then the double disappears through the wall. A television screen materializes and Dirant sees his double at home: he is being rude to his entourage. From 7:30 PM on February 28th to the next day March 1st at the same time Dirant remains facing his double, not aware of the passing of time, his watch having stopped, fascinated by his double who was crossing the wall. When he was bored, books and magazines materialized.

They were dressed in dark coveralls with square helmets, and sleeve-length gauntlets, but it was too dark to see their features through their helmet visors. They wore sleeve-length gauntlets, and one being gestured to the other, who brought out from a bag on his back a small piece of substance resembling chocolate; this he presented to the witness, urging him by gestures to eat it. The witness did so, but to his surprise it had no noticeable taste. They then moved off and let him pass. About 100 feet to the right side of the road he had saw a large, dark circular mass about six feet high, sitting directly on the ground. , where traces of crushed grass were later found. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Coral E.

A loud voice emanated from a box-like device in the corner of the room which told him to remain calm. A door then appeared in the wall across from him, then the door opened and a large dark, oval-shaped "apparatus" emerged. The apparatus came towards him and a yellow light came down from the top of it, illuminating him. From out of the oval-shaped machine emerged a figure that was an exact replica of the witness. This double spoke to the witness and told him that he did not intend to harm him or anybody else. This being then disappeared through one of the walls. A large TV like screen then appeared. The witness could see the actions of his double through this screen and was directed to assist him with his voice. He was finally released and the aliens apparently recalled his double. The aliens told the witness that they were here to help humanity. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He was driving at 90 km/h when the engine of his vehicle stopped on its own. Trembling, the witness saw a being standing there. It was small, about 90 cm, and green in color. Its arms were so long that he couldn't make out its hands. On the top of its head it had pointed ears. Its eyes were very black. Turning its back to the witness, the being headed towards the ditch and descended into it. Only the upper half of its body remained visible. When it finally looked at the witness, he felt a wave, followed by two more very close together. Scared, the witness looked away. Shortly after, his engine started up again. He turned around and returned to Nogaro, where he arrived without noticing anything unusual. He wouldn't reveal anything about his adventure until 1977. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L.

A security alert team arrives and sees a large, brilliantly self-illuminated object hovering above the Romeo-29 launch facility. Suddenly, the missile starts a countdown. The officer quickly flips the inhibit switch, which puts the system offline. Then the system spontaneously restarts and the missile goes into launch mode again, followed by an inhibit order that does not work. But the launch code is false and the missile remains in its pad. Meanwhile, the UFO moves away straight up at high speed. An F-106 interceptor attempts unsuccessfully to reach it, and Malmstrom AFB radar tracks the UFO. Later he learns that the ground electronics in Romeo-29 are fried as if from a surge. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nukes 353–355; Robert L.

A missile launch officer with the 564th Strategic Missile Squadron reports a nuclear missile countdown is started, and the officer flips the “inhibit” switch to turn the system offline. The system then restarts spontaneously and the missile again goes into launch mode; the officer’s next “inhibit” order doesn’t work. Fortunately, the launch code is false and the missile remains in its pad. The UAP then moves away from Romeo-29 vertically at high speed. An F-106 attempts to intercept but is unsuccessful and Malmstrom AFB radar tracks the UAP. Electronics in Romeo-29 are fried from an electric surge. This event occurred at a time when the USAF was referring Congress and the American public to the findings of **Project Blue Book**, which concluded UAP were not a national security threat. The Romeo-29 event very clearly was a threat to national security and nuclear war. * [https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/ufo-activated-one-of-his-icbms-twice](https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/ufo-activated-one-of-his-icbms-twice) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_150 ### Event 35857 (8B00B80E) **Date:** 3/1/1974 **Location:** ST.

They saw five saucer-shaped objects about two feet in diameter that moved at a low altitude slowly through the sky. They floated leisurely over a field across the road from their house and settled down in the midst of a herd of cows some five hundred yards away. Only one cow paid any attention to the small discs. It acted offended by the intrusion and turned and walked towards one of the mini UFOs. The object rose up, flew over the cow, and settled down again behind the cow. Each time the cow attempted to approach it would simply rise up, pass over the cow and settle down on the other side. The woman's husband became upset. He went and got his rifle and started hobbling out toward the field. The wife saw one of the objects fly very close to her husband's head and then rejoin the others as they flew away. By that time her husband had reached the fence and was standing still. His hands were down at his sides, the rifle clutched in one of them. When she got to him he was icy cold and shivering. All he could say was that one of the objects had "flashed" him with a bright light. She helped him back up to the house and he went inside to lie down on a daybed. He stayed there the rest of the day and said nothing more. The next morning the woman looked out and saw the cow lying dead next to a pond. Two weeks later her husband also died. The doctor said he had died of a heart attack. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

A red luminous object was then seen ascending from the site. The object, about the size of a Volkswagen, hovered approximately 300 feet above the hill and went through a series of right angle turns, then headed south toward Stuart, Virginia. Billy Wayne Plasters and Richard N. Clifton drove to the landing site by truck and observed the silhouette of a "big, tall, heavyset man" approach from a lighted area. They called out and got no answer. Frightened, they jumped back into their truck and fled. The light on the hillside disappeared a few minutes later. Next day, patches of charred vegetation were found at the site covering a large area. Other people in the vicinity reported seeing strange lights that same night, and hearing unexplained noises. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Center for UFO Studies files; David F.

Suddenly their gaze was drawn to the kitchen window by an extraordinary blue light, turning green, yellow, then red. Intrigued, they rushed outside and thus saw a strange "composite" object. It was formed of two balls connected by a kind of blue neon tube. The first ball, orange in color, was bigger than the following green one. The object ended with a kind of shadow sprinkled with small colored dots. The craft moved silently at a constant speed (approx. 80 km/h) at a relative altitude of 25 to 100 meters and at a distance of about 150 meters from the witnesses. The length of the object was estimated at 2 or 3 meters.

He was surprised by a red light: I saw on my right \(...\) about 400 or 500 m away a red-orange ball the size of the sun. I think this ball was quite high above the ground, without being able to specify. It was moving north towards Rabasten while getting closer to my car. \(...\) This ball was for a moment facing my vehicle. \(...\) At that moment, it took on a more oval shape, like a rugby ball. This ball was so bright, in front and around me, that I could see as if it were broad daylight. While it was at the height of my car, it no longer pulled, it had misfires, it did not move despite my acceleration - and this over a distance of at least fifty meters. When this ball so to speak turned in front of me on the national 21 \(N 21\), it had lost some altitude while still keeping the same color, but this ball was becoming bigger and bigger, that is to say it must have reached 2 m in diameter. I did not hear any noise \(...\). I was very scared. \(...\) I add that \(...\) I saw a second one, smaller, of a bright red. It was roughly at the same height as the first one. From these balls came a very powerful light and rays that blinded me. Mr. D.'s eyes will be red and tearful for 2 days. Several witnesses saw that night in the region powerful lights or luminous balls.

Shortly after, she received a telepathic message, telling her to go on a certain road, which she did. Again her engine stalled and the radio emitted strange noises. But this time she saw four small humanoids, quickly coming towards her, each in a small vehicle resembling a garden tiller, but moving quickly just above the ground. One of the entities approached the car and telepathically asked her to open the door. But when she opened one of the doors, all four opened wide at the same time. The entity examined the woman's neck, applying a small device that left five puncture marks. She was told that thousands of their vessels had already visited the Earth for years. Nearby was their mothership, while their planet of origin was called "Omnius" or "Omnigus." They added that they had examined thousands of people, but not all had done so voluntarily. She was not to touch the entities to prevent any contamination. She was also told that she might have terrible headaches for several weeks after the contact. The entities measured between 1m20 and 1m40, and wore helmets that masked their features. However, small eyes could be seen shining. They wore uniforms and a belt with a symbol made of wavy vertical lines. **Reference:** Don ELKINS with Carla RUECKERT, CASE NUMBER 12, Investigator: John Giambrone, MUFON field investigator **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2779 ### Event 35900 (0B81180E) **Date:** 3/9/1974 **Time:** 21:00 **Location:** BOUTEILLE, FR **Description:** 10 / 2 cars.

They appeared "smooth" and no clothing was seen. The witness at once backed up and got out of the road; then his fiancé called his attention to a pyramid-shaped luminous object which was just taking off from a spot about 400 feet away.

He could not recall anything else. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The being appeared to be wearing a diver suit from which projected a bright, cylindrical, solid like coherent beam of light from the front part of the collar. The light could lengthen and shrink.

The light eventually dimmed and Sanchez was able to continue in his direction, but when he was only about 200 m away, his headlights went out and his engine stopped. He then discovered that he had a magnificent flying saucer in front of him, about 12 meters in diameter, silver metallic in color, perfectly smooth, without any rivets or openings, resting on three rounded feet and lit from below. He then saw a second saucer that remained stationary in flight like a helicopter, above and to the right of the first. Two creatures of human appearance wearing shiny suits were making gestures (...) and seeing Sanchez's truck, they got back into the saucer which rose about ten meters, placing itself next to the other craft at the same height. Seeing that the road was clear and his headlights were on, Sanchez tried to start the engine which turned on the first try. (...) he stopped, turned off his headlights, got out of the truck to see what was going to happen. The first saucer had descended to the ground. (...) scared, Sanchez went home. (...) The next day, March 21, he went to Lagunilla and arrived there around 11:15 pm. (...) Instead of two, there were now three saucers, one of them on the road and four humanoids. (...)

On this afternoon she compulsively walked out into the center of her school football field in Lewisburg, Tennessee instead of taking the school bus home. Although she recalls seeing nothing in the field, she next remembers finding herself inside a brightly lit room as a ramped door closed behind her. She was confronted by two small humanoid entities, shorter than her. They had blond, short cropped hair and later identified themselves as "Alton" and "Tombo." Becky was instructed to lie on a hospital-like bed where she was examined by a gloved implement that was passed over her. She was taken for an hour's trip "to Australia" and then returned. She felt weak and sleepy, and for several weeks after this incident she was extremely fatigued and suffered from headaches and other physical symptoms. She had two more experiences over the next four months. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The 8 meter wide metallic UFO, now only faintly luminous, stood of three half-meter long legs, was wider than the road and had no visible openings. A second non luminous object hovered some 16 meters above the ground to the right. Two beings appeared in front of the landed object, and they gestured with their arms. One went around the side of the UFO and returned, then both disappeared to the right side and the object ascended making a humming sound. The figures were human looking, 6 feet tall, and wore tight fitting coverall type garments with a metallic hue. They appeared to walk and move in a normal manner. Mr. Sanchez was unable to make out any facial features. After he passed the site he looked back and saw that one object had landed again on the road. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case 175; David F.

After running nearly 2 kilometers he threw himself into an irrigation ditch and hid as the four men searched the area, but they were unable to find him. After waiting a safe period of time, he cautiously returned to his truck. The three objects were still there, and his engine would not start. When he got into the cab and closed the door the same four figures re-appeared, gesturing to each other. They walked around the object and disappeared and it rose off the ground slowly with a humming or whistling sound. The truck then started normally. After passing the site, Mr. Sanchez saw that the third object had again landed and he stopped and returned on foot, hiding about 9 meters away. He saw the figures digging into the roadside with a T-shaped implement and a large horseshoe shaped tool. He could still make out no facial features. After 3 minutes he left. A few days later UFO investigators found radioactive traces and three 12-meter wide circles of flattened grass in the area. Civil guard officers also found traces. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Coral E.

As he approaches it, he feels a strange sensation. His car comes to a near stop, wavering back and forth like a feather. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** UFOEv II 346 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5029 ### Event 35973 (1B526778) **Date:** 3/23/1974 **Locations:** Markim, Stockholm County, Sweden; Lindholmen, Vallentuna; Danderyds Hospital **Description:** Night. A young man \(pseudonym Harald Andersson\) comes out of the parish house in Markim, Stockholm County, Sweden, when he hears a voice in his head telling him to follow a dark forest road. Just after passing a small cottage, he sees two runestones by the side of the path. Suddenly a blinding light knocks him to the ground where he lies unconscious for a while, then wakes up on the doorstep of his villa in Lindholmen, Vallentuna. His wife, disturbed by his condition \(bleeding from his forehead and a burn on his cheek\), takes him to Danderyds Hospital where hypnotherapist [Ture Arvidsson](https://esh-hypnosis.eu/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ESH-Newsletter-2016-2.pdf) regresses him to the time of the incident \(twice, on April 1 and May 20\). He discovers that a beam of light has floated him up into the air while tall, hooded figures touch his head with an unknown device, saying they will meet again in the future. Extraordinary abilities follow, including his ability to disrupt a compass needle, see vibrant auras, and premonitions. The incident is apparently witnessed by another man a short distance away. The Swedish Home Guard assigns 50 of its personnel to work with 15 ufologists to examine the region. The group reports a few odd lights in the sky. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Håkan Blomqvist, “[An](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201987%20V%2032%20N%205.pdf) [Abduction in Sweden?](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201987%20V%2032%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 32, no. 5 \(August 1987\): 14–16 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5030 ### Event 35974 (35154E1B) **Date:** 3/23/1974 **Locations:** Albiosc, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France; Tavernes, Var **Description:** 11:30 p.m. A French doctor allegedly photographs an odd object near Albiosc, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. The color image shows a red object like a domed disc and four bright, beamlike extensions. UFO investigator Jean Bedet receives the slide anonymously on April 14, with a note pinned to his car windshield when he is visiting the town of Tavernes, Var. Bedet says his wife and others had seen a similar object at 11:00 p.m. the same night. The consensus among researchers in France is that the photo is a hoax perpetrated by Bedet to confirm the visual sighting. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Michel Monnerie, “[La Veillée Nationale d’Observation à Barjols \(Var\),](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/France/LDLN/LDLN%20-%20No%20138.pdf)” Lumières dans la Nuit, no. 138 \(October 1974\): 22–26; Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, “[An Approach to UFO Pictures in](http://www.nicap.org/reports/ikaros.org.es%5Ffotocat%5Fapproach.pdf) [France,](http://www.nicap.org/reports/ikaros.org.es%5Ffotocat%5Fapproach.pdf)” FOTOCAT Report no. 6, \[2009\], p. 33 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5031 ### Event 35975 (FB206FCF) **Date:** 3/23/1974 **Description:** At 12:20 a.m. a middle-aged man named Vallentuna was walking home in Lindholmen, Sweden when at a crossroads he mysteriously felt compelled to take an alternate route. Suddenly a brilliant light blinded him. He threw himself in the snow but something lifted him up to a height of 30 to 45 feet. He next found himself at home with no recollection of how he got there. Under hypnosis he recalled seeing four "transparent" beings who had grabbed him, and he then was apparently studied by these beings inside a UFO. He suffered from severe shock after the incident. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Next a blinding light knocked him to the ground, where he lay unconscious until he came to, on his own doorsteps. His wife, disturbed by his condition and baffled by a mysterious burn on the side of his face, sent him to the local Danderyds Hospital. There hypno-therapist Dr. Ture Arvidsson put him under a hypnotic trance and regressed him to the time of the incident. He related how a beam of light had floated him up into the air, then some tall hooded figures touched his head with somekind of unknown device, saying that they would meet him again in the future. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UFO Information Sweden, May 1976, p. 10; Lynn Picknett, The Mammoth Book of UFOs, John Wallace Spencer, World Atlas of UFOs, p. 103 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1631 ### Event 35977 (FCA96069) **Date:** 3/24/1974 **Location:** FRANCE, Thérines: Clévrau and Taupin woods (Oise) **Description:** (Translated from French) During an observation evening, Mr. Bréchant and his brother-in-law Mr. Cosme, and the child Patrice Bréchant, 11 years old, observed with the naked eye and binoculars: A white luminous ball on the ground, whose contours gradually became red. To the right of this ball, a series of 4 to 6 rectangles of a violent white light illuminated. With the binoculars, Mr. Cosme observed a luminous ball which projected from its base a triangular luminous beam, base coming from under the ball, point oriented towards the witnesses. Mr. Cosme observed with the binoculars two luminous silhouettes, stiff, seeming formed of two blocks and disproportionate: elongated head, too small for enormously wide shoulders. One of the silhouettes was behind the triangular beam projected by the white ball, the other slid on the beam towards the point and disappeared into the night. The one that remained near the sphere had on the left a kind of satchel, it gradually diminished as if it was collapsing and completely disappeared. The beam then went out and then the ball. They left and after 10 minutes observed through the back window, a white-yellowish luminous ball at the height of the trees which followed the car and according to the sinuosities was seen sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left. It approached very quickly taking 6 to 10 times its volume and a yellow-green color. The UFO hunters chased found the road to Beauvais and quickly returned to their home.

They think the sphere could be a 16th-century cannonball and decide to take it home. Several days later, while Terry is playing the guitar, the sphere seems to react to the music and makes a throbbing noise. Later, the sphere rolls and stops on its own and changes direction. The sphere makes a noise when hit with a hammer, and Terry finds that it moves after being shaken and placed on the ground. In 2012, an analysis by Skeptoid indicates that the sphere is a ball check valve produced by the Bell & Howell company. Its size, weight, and metallurgical composition match those of the company’s check valves. The ball is almost perfectly balanced, and it takes only a small stimulus to make it move or change direction. New Mexico artist James Durling-Jones, who collects scrap metal for his sculptures, remembers loading ball check valves into the rooftop luggage rack of his Volkswagen van and driving through the Jacksonville, Florida, area around Easter of 1971. A few of the balls rolled off the luggage rack and were not retrieved. Skeptoid concludes that this is the sphere’s origin. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Betz mystery sphere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz%5Fmystery%5Fsphere)”; Brian Dunning, “[The Betz Mystery Sphere,](https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4334)” Skeptoid podcast, no. 334, October 30, 2012 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5033 ### Event 36001 (DE220B5D) **Date:** 3/27/1974 **Location:** Málaga, Spain **Description:** Night.

It heads toward them on a level flight path until it gets to 500 feet away. It stops, and within moments a tidal wave washes over the two witnesses. Wave after wave crash over them as they hold onto a nearby tree. The UFO emits powerful beams of light, and the Frenchman can see the waters parting in a deep trough. They remain paralyzed for 20 minutes until the UFO turns off its lights and flies out to sea. The water surface returns to normal. Over the next few days, the man feels strangely exhausted and has a ringing in his ears. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Joël Mesnard, “[UFO over Sea Causes Surge of Tidal](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%206.pdf) [Waves,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 22, no. 6 \(April 1977\): 4–5, iv; Clark III 250–251 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5035 ### Event 36009 (7EFB7562) **Date:** 3/30/1974 **Time:** 19:20 **Location:** IBEAS DE JUARROS, SP **Description:** 7M saucer crosses highway near.

In the heart of the Valensole plateau he saw an object on or very close to the ground. This device in the shape of a small car was lit from the inside where shapes seemed to move. (vog: ??? a small car on the ground is therefore a UFO?) Very familiar with the night and day landscape, this phenomenon seemed very unusual to him; Back in Valensole at 8:15 PM he no longer saw anything. But from his in-laws' house, he could see the object again. With his wife and son he could get as close as 500 or 800m, stopping his car 2 km from Valensole, on the road to Manosque and walking along a dirt path leading to the fields. He could not go any further in the night. It was 8:30 PM. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." - ed.

They drive toward it, but it shoots up into the air so they can see its underside. As the man alerts people to the object on his CB radio, he sees the object lower a box, seemingly to take samples. Then the object approaches the couple and they drive away quickly, but it follows them for 47 miles. At 2:15 a.m., they pull into a Wigwam restaurant, where a man rushes up to them and asks them, “What did you see in the sky?” He denies having a CB radio, and talks in a strangely slow and choppy manner. The man continues to bother them, so they drive away from the Wigwam. Soon they are followed by some strange lights and an orange ball. They stop the car where the road ends and see a “little man on a little black object.” The lights follow them all the way home to Findlay, Ohio. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 731–733 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5039 ### Event 36033 (D72E8FA6) **Date:** 4/3/1974 **Time:** 09:10 **Location:** MONZA, ITALY **Description:** Man photographs luminous hemisphere going east.

The driver, normally dressed and with gray hair, approached and offered the witness "proof" of his extraordinary powers by dematerializing a rock with a small, hand held device. He then told the witness to he should save his marriage, and promised subsequent "contacts." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ted Bloecher, 1975 MUFON UFO Symposium Proceedings, p. 56; David F.

The beam gradually widened, then retracted back into the projector. Suddenly, the beam was emitted directly into the car after which it retracted back into the object's projector. It was like a "solid" light. After this outburst, the flying object accelerated and disappeared into the clouds. While the witnesses thought they had observed the phenomenon for a quarter of an hour, two full hours had actually passed. **Reference:** Hans-Werner Peiniger, GEP e.V., JUFOF - Germany **Reference:** JUFOF Nr. 41, 5'1985:129ff **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2784 ### Event 36047 (24367D54) **Date:** 4/11/1974 **Description:** At 2:30 a.m. Virginia Varela was awakened by a sound in her home near Santa Clara de Olimar, Argentina. When she looked out the window she saw "an indefinite figure which seemed to be covered by a light colored garment." It immediately disappeared. It left footprints of feet wearing boots. Later on she noticed a light and heard more noises. She next saw two shining points of light moving together across the sky. On the following two nights there were again indications that someone had been around the house, and the hum of a motor was heard. Her cows panicked, and one was found dead. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The Bellingeris get out of the car to look at the motionless object. It has a transparent dome and a central ring of revolving red, green, and yellow lights. Inside the dome are three human- like beings with large, round, opaque, grayish helmets. At the base of the headgear is a hoselike apparatus. One being turns in their direction, then moves back.

Mauro Bellingeri and his wife had just arrived home when a luminous disc-shaped object came out of the sky at them, and then stopped over their house 40 feet up. The craft had a central ring of revolving red, green, and yellow lights that revolved around the cabin. The object made no sound as it hovered there. The couple could see a round, clear, dome-shaped cabin on the upper portion of the object that was 30 feet wide and six feet high. Inside the cabin there were three seated beings who were visible, wearing fishbowl or globe-shaped helmets. After several minutes of just hanging silently in the sky, 4-5 jets of flame were emitted from the underside of the craft, and the outer rim began to turn more rapidly. The object started making a whistling sound. With a strong blast of air that nearly knocked the witnesses down, the object then took off and flew away. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Renzo Cabassi, FSR, February 1977, p. 23; David F.

Curious, they walk toward it until they are within about 200 feet. An oval object is resting on the roadway. It appears to have large windows in the top half, from which comes a brilliant golden glow. Changes of contrast in this light give them the impression that something is moving around within. Currie sends her daughter to get a neighbor, Rose Curtis, and they return shortly. Currie then retreats to her home and phones her husband, who drops what he is doing and hurries over. He can see an object rising up. It shifts speeds and accelerates out of sight. During the bulk of this encounter, the neighborhood dogs are putting up a continuous volley of barking. The next morning, the witnesses get together and go to the site, where they find an area of burned grass 50–75 feet in diameter. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Center for UFO Studies, [HUMCAT Index 1974](http://cufos.org/HUMCAT/HUMCAT%5FIndex%5F1974.pdf), p. 40; NICAP, “[The 1974 UFO Chronology](http://www.nicap.org/chronos/1974fullrep.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5046 ### Event 36093 (3CF0B949) **Date:** 4/20/1974 **Location:** BELGIUM, Charleroi region **Description:** (Translated from French) In the night, a modulated sound sometimes unbearable was heard in about twenty different places for an hour.

They are in a car. Suddenly they see a yellow mass emerge, which descends quickly and lands in a meadow about 500 m away at the place called "Les Lydes". "We felt a strange feeling. After 2 to 3 minutes the light disappeared and we saw four night lights: three yellow and one red. The silhouette of the device was cut out like a kind of disk topped with a milky dome. For a few seconds I was able to see three shadows moving inside. Then this part went out too. At this moment a powerful spotlight came on and began to sweep the horizon in complete rotations, sometimes stopping in one direction. We heard a faint humming like that of an engine at idle. At one point the spotlight stopped in our direction. We were scared and left without waiting any longer." When she arrived home Anne woke up her parents so they could watch the show, perfectly visible from the house. The spotlight illuminates a house located about 2 km away. After observing it for an hour, the witnesses go to bed. Anne has pain in her eyes and can't fall asleep.

The man was described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a small nose and small ears.

She told her mother who also looked out. They thought it might have been a car accident at first since they saw red lights. There appeared to be a golden glow coming from the object. The two left the building to get a closer look. Neighborhood dogs were barking and horses in a field were also making noise. As they got closer they could see a huge oval-shaped object resting on a road. It had a rounded window on top that emanated a golden glow, and the red lights were coming from the front and rear of the craft. They then noticed an indistinct "egg-shaped" figure moving around inside the craft. Another employee of the nursing home and the woman's husband also witnessed the object when he came to pick them up. The UFO rose up into the sky and disappeared quickly into the dark sky. There was a large burned area 60 feet in diameter at the landing site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ted Bloecher, NICAP UFO Investigator, November 1974, p. 1; Ted Bloecher, 1975 MUFON UFO Symposium Proceedings, p. 56; Margaret Sachs, Celestial Passengers **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2430 ### Event 36122 (BE3FB12A) **Date:** 5/1974 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) [Alan Sandler](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/ufologues.html\#SandlerAlan) and [Robert Emenneger](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/EmeneggerRobert.html) contact the doctor [Joseph Hynek](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/HynekJosephAllen.html) to help them make documentaries commissioned by the [DoD](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/DoD.html), dealing with his relations with UFOs. **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1974.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2657 ### Event 36123 (025BA1AE) **Date:** 5/1974 **Time:** 23:50 **Location:** 4KM SOUTH / LE CATEAU, FR **Description:** 4 observer(s).

Outside they see a bell-shaped object or silhouette with a light tube in the center that seems to be waiting for them. Marian grabs a sports sword he keeps under the bed and goes outside, but the object is already moving away. He follows it around a corner of the house and the object is nowhere to be seen. Marian senses the object is still there somehow because he feels some kind of force field. Against his will he returns to his bedroom, the forcefield disappears, and he goes right back to sleep. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Romania 128–129 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5048 ### Event 36125 (06C372A0) **Date:** 5/1974 **Locations:** Area 3 of an Army Ordnance Depot; Fischbach bei Dahn, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany **Description:** 3:30 a.m. US Army Pfc R. Jack Phillips is assigned to the 193rd Military Police Battalion guarding Area 3 of an Army Ordnance Depot \[now returned to Germany\] where surface-to-surface Pershing missiles are stored near Fischbach bei Dahn, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Suddenly waking up, he watches an extremely bright star above him for about 15 seconds. Suddenly it approaches very quickly and hovers just beyond the depot fence line about 300 feet away. The light now looks like a domed disc about 60 feet in diameter with a concave indentation on its underside. It is covered in a greenish glow and completely silent. After 5 seconds the object gets much brighter for a second then dims again. The security lights in the complex go out. Phillips tries to report this, but his field phone is out. The backup generators fail to turn on. Some 30 seconds later, the object takes off so swiftly that he can’t tell in which direction it leaves. The lights come back on and all the bunker alarms go off. A roving unit needs to come by to reset all the alarms manually. Phillips admits that most of the guards sleep on duty, and that is probably why no one else has seen the object. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nukes 343–346 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5049 ### Event 36126 (87486A25) **Date:** 5/1/1974 **Time:** 23:00 **Location:** YOUBOU, BC **Description:** 4+observer(s).

Faria approached to within 30 feet of him, whereupon the little man pointed a flashlight kind of instrument at him and him in the eyes with a beam of light, temporarily blinding him. Sr. Faria ran for his uncle's house, only 20 meters away, and succeeded in reaching it. The little man wore no helmet, and had muscular arms. In February 1973 Faria had seen a luminous, ring shaped UFO hovering low over his uncle's garden, and on March 11 of that same year had been seized by a creature while returning from the bathhouse in the garden, and encounter that left claw markson his upper arms. These marks remained for eight months. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Four silver-colored legs emerge from the object, followed by a ramp with steps. Three small figures climb down backwards. They are speaking to each other in high, squeaky voices that sound like “so many birds.” She says “The being nearest the edge of the roof had a very elongated head, grayish=looking skin, arms that extended well below his knees, and what looked like long claws instead of fingers. His legs appeared rather short.” He is bald and looks old. The scene is well lit by an illuminated dome on the roof of the building. When one of the entities notices the witness, they reenter the object, which takes off slowly over the trees, which are again violently agitated. The legs withdraw as it takes off. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 277 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5050 ### Event 36136 (81F897D4) **Date:** 5/5/1974 **Description:** At around 7 p.m. Ms. Becky Ingram was driving alone on a country road on Pisgah Ridge, Tennessee when she heard her nickname called ("Tomboy") and was telepathically directed to a nearby field.

In an open doorway, with a ramp extending to the ground, stood two beings named "Alton" and "Tombo" that she had met on a previous encounter, who invited her onboard. She greeted them with a handshake and entered. Inside she saw five or six more humanoid beings seated around a table, eating. She declined an invitation to join them. They spoke in an incomprehensible language. She declined an invitation for another ride, explaining that her family was expecting her.

Roffe, a nurse's aide at the local Veterans Administration Hospital in Coatesville, Pennsylvania was walking from one hospital building to another at around 9 p.m. when she heard a swishing sound and saw a disc-shaped object descend and land on the roof of Building #1. Four silver-colored legs emerged from the object just before the object landed, and a ramp came down out of the bottom of the craft. Three gray-skinned humanoid occupants emerged from the craft by climbing down the ramp backwards. They were all less than five feet tall and had long, large bald heads and arms with clawed hands; their legs were short. They spoke an unintelligible language among themselves in high, squeaky voices. She was able to see their features well because the area was well lit by an illuminated dome on the roof of the building. When the beings noticed her they re-entered the object. The object then took off slowly, making a swishing sound, and passed over some nearby trees, which were shaken violently when the craft flew over. The legs withdrew into the object as it took off. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ted Bloecher, 1975 MUFON Symposium Proceedings, p. 56; George D.

The object approached and hovered over their vehicle giving off heat. All the passengers inside except for the principal witness became sick and passed out. He then felt as if he was being drawn upwards and also passed out. He next became aware of a bright white light around him and several figures looking down at him. The beings called him by his name, and then he passed out again. The aliens were described as five feet tall, with light skin, huge almond shaped eyes, and a small lower jaw. They were also apparently very strong. The man believes that his aging process had slowed down subsequent to the abduction.

They took out some binoculars and watched her stand perfectly still for 10 minutes as a second black-gowned figure moved among some nearby trees. The woman figure, then the second figure, vanished from view. Next, the first figure re-appeared 50 yards away from its original position and stood motionless again for 10 minutes before vanishing once again from sight. Upon returning to the site at 9:35 p.m., King and Vinten again saw through binoculars two more figures, this time dressed in white. One was motionless, the other was "darting about making very quick movements," but showing no leg movements, as if gliding rather than running. At this point a red lighted UFO was seen rising slowly over the treetops in the same direction. After five minutes it moved off, passing almost directly over the witnesses, making a "weird throbbing, similar to a ship's sonar." It had a central white light and two blinking lights near the edge, as well as a vertically revolving bluish light around the center. It displayed a central red light and two blinking white lights as it moved off. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It hovered for awhile, then moved into a nearby forest. No evidence of a landing was found. Three hours later and 38 miles to the southwest an occupant report and UFO landing was made at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F. Webb, Skylook, August 14, 1975 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2984 ### Event 36168 (FE4B390B) **Date:** 5/20/1974 **Location:** USA, Hampton (New Hampshire) **Description:** (Translated from French) Around midnight the witness was swimming alone near the beach. Suddenly he saw a disc-shaped object approaching parallel to the ocean and descending vertically to the ground. The craft had a diameter of 15 to 18 m, was biconvex in shape, and on each face a circular edge occupied the center. It was equipped with several lights, and was resting on four feet ending in a kind of tuft. It emitted a buzzing sound and gave off heat. After a few minutes a hatch lowered on the underside as if it were pivoting around a hinge. An electric motor noise then dominated the buzzing. Through the slope created by the opening, an occupant emerged: "humidity emanated from the occupant" at the time of his exit and extended up to 70 or 80 m. He was at least 1.8 m tall, and a garment covered his entire body, including his head. The garment was voluminous, tubes coming from the back of the maxillae joined behind the neck and descended along the back. He only took a few steps on the beach before re-entering the craft, whose door closed and then took off in the direction from which it had come. The witness could not specify whether his observation lasted 20 or 60 minutes. After the departure, the witness examined the landing site with a flashlight: in the hollow of the feet there was a pink paste, in which there was a thick liquid. At dawn the tide had leveled it all out. **Reference:** Inforespace n° 22 - p. 16 and 17 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2790 ### Event 36169 (1BC69F69) **Date:** 5/20/1974 **Time:** 17:00? **Location:** SOUTHWEST / LANDEVENNEC, FR **Description:** 4 / car.

It consists of a string of 7–8 spheres, each about one foot in diameter and arranged horizontally, about 3 feet above the road. Le Meur turns around and heads to the local Gendarmerie station in Telgruc-sur-Mer to report it. The police examine the site the next day and find a patch of ferns that appear abnormally wilted. They collect some plant and soil samples and send them to a lab in Paris for analysis. The wilted, brown ferns are found to be without chlorophyll and an unknown element \(indicating pheophytins associated with the degradation of chlorophyll\) shows up in the chromatography in ultraviolet light. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Joël Mesnard, “Landévennec, May 20, 1974,” IUR 32, no. 4 \(October 2009\): 20–21; Jérôme Frasson, “An Attempt to Learn about the Trauma Undergone by the Ferns,” IUR 32, no. 4 \(October 2009\): 21 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5055 ### Event 36174 (B3ECFD41) **Date:** 5/20/1974 **Description:** A young man of 20 was swimming at 12:30 a.m. at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire when he saw a domed disc-shaped object approach from the ocean. It landed on the beach about 80 yards away. It had a domed bulge above and below the central rim, and was about 50 feet in diameter. It stood on four legs and had several lights on the main body of the object. It also gave off heat and emitted a humming or pulsating sound. A hatch folded down and a ramp slid out, and a motor like noise was now also audible. A six-foot tall occupant emerged down the ramp, dressed in a head-to-foot light-colored coverall. Two hoses ran from the chin area to behind the head, with one hose running down the back. The figure stepped out briefly onto the sand and then re-entered the object, which ascended and moved off out to sea. The man searched the landing site and found a "deep, rose colored paste and thick liquid" in the four, deep landing marks. He also found a spot of red where the hatch had opened. Traces had been obliterated by the tide the following morning, before the investigator could gather samples. The landing site is not far from an outflow vent that would later be built for the Seabrook nuclear reactor. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

One night, he was woken up in his caravan by a buzzing and pulsating lights. He tried to call his family, but had no voice and felt paralyzed. He saw four toothed lights, red, orange, yellow and blue-green. The next morning he woke up two hours later than usual, with bloodshot eyes and feeling pain all over his body. He had the feeling of having been inside a UFO, but his memory refused to restore the details. Later, under hypnosis, he remembered better, and spoke of a row of gyroscopes along a partition. The toothed lights dynamized them to form an artificial gravity field. He had seen eight men of normal appearance. Seven of them were dressed in brown metallic fabric uniforms, the eighth wore a light blue work outfit. He saw on a screen a close-up view of the planet Saturn, there was a control panel and three reclining chairs. The entities examined his eyes with a magnifying glass, telling him to expect other contacts. **Reference:** Don ELKINS with Carla RUECKERT, CASE NUMBER 11, Investigator: Isabel Epperson, MUFON field investigator. **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2791 ### Event 36190 (1E9F02CC) **Date:** 5/26/1974 **Description:** Joseph Susedik was asleep in his camper with his wife and two small children in the pre-dawn hours near Mitchell Caverns, California when he was awakened by a humming sound and a pulsating light that reflected on the inside of the camper wall. He tried to call out to his wife and children but was immobilized. He saw "pinwheels of odd-shaped colored lights," that were red, orange, yellow and blue-green in color but could not recall any further conscious details. He awoke two hours later than usual that morning with bloodshot eyes and body aches. He had vague impressions of having been inside a craft but could not recall any specific. He remembered that he had observed a UFO earlier that evening with other family members.

Later under hypnosis the witness recalled being inside a UFO and described a row of gyroscopes along an inner wall. "Pinwheels" of light energized the gyroscopes to form an "artificial gravity field." He described a crew of eight men, seven of whom wore maroon "foil type uniforms" and one wore a pale blue uniform. One of his examiners looked at his eyes through a magnifying glass. He also saw a "nebulae in various colors showing concentrations of metals and minerals, a color image close up of Saturn displayed on a coil edged screen, and three black reclining style high backed chairs at a control panel. After this incident he claims to have become a prolific inventor. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Mr. A. Rias, a stonemason, was listening to his radio in his small cabin in the middle of a field in Les Nourradons, Var, France when static suddenly erupted on the radio. Alarmed, he armed himself with a gun and went outside. He next caught sight of a being running through the field and a bright beam of light was shone upon him. He re-entered the cabin and closed the door. Then he heard knocks on the door and the cabin shook. His dog started trembling, terrified. Re-emeging from the cabin, he saw an object resembling a racecar prototype moving low over the field with two beings inside. Five other humanoids were walking nearby, moving with heavy steps. The beings wore khaki uniforms with large belts and a kind of mask over their faces. One being pointed a glass tube at the witness and a luminous beam of light struck him, paralyzing both him and his dog. The beings and the strange craft soon left towards a forested area and disappeared. The next day he saw red lights in the field that flew away when he approached. Mr. Rias suffered from shock and stayed in bed for the following two days. His dog also appeared to suffer some discomfort for several days. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

A resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, sees a large glowing object moving across the western face of the Sandia Mountains. It is so bright that no structure is visible. The witness opens his window to listen for noise coming from the object, but there is none. As he watches, the object appears to land on a nearby hill where it remains for an hour before it shoots into the air and vanishes. Three young men are camping in the Sandia Mountains that day around noon. They notice a silver-white UFO on the ground on the east side of Tramway Boulevard NE, between Menaul Boulevard and Copper Avenue. Next to it is a silver, triangular-shaped object with odd rune-like symbols on one of the pointed ends. After reporting the sighting, they wind up being taken to Kirtland AFB for interrogation by civilian intelligence agents. They are told they have witnessed a “Soviet incident” and are to keep their mouths shut, which they do for 34 years before talking to [Linda Moulton Howe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda%5FMoulton%5FHowe) in 2007. Around 9:00 p.m., a family sees a large, glowing, football-shaped disc moving across Albuquerque toward the Sandia foothills. They jump in their car and try to follow the object, using dirt roads on the east side of Tramway. They are stopped by a state police officer, beyond whom they can see the UFO hovering low next to a rocky hill. It is surrounded by armed military personnel. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Recent Sightings Reported in New Mexico,](http://www.cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/100%20JULY%201974.pdf)” UFO Investigator, July 1974, p. 3; Linda Moulton Howe, “[Glowing Disc Encounter with Military in Albuquerque,](https://www.earthfiles.com/2007/11/29/part-1-glowing-disc-encounter-with-military-in-albuquerque-nm/) [NM,](https://www.earthfiles.com/2007/11/29/part-1-glowing-disc-encounter-with-military-in-albuquerque-nm/)” Earthfiles, November 29, 2007 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5057 ### Event 36198 (96728F05) **Date:** 5/28/1974 **Description:** A 50-75 foot diameter UFO landed on a nearby hill on this night in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The route takes them across the South African border \(with Zimbabwe\) at Beit Bridge, at the Limpopo River. About 32 km south of Umvuma in Rhodesia \(now Harare in Zimbabwe\), Frances notices a light on the left following their car. The headlights dim, the couple suddenly feels very cold and has to wrap themselves in blankets. Realizing he is driving well beyond the speed limit, Peter lets off the accelerator --- but nothing happens. The headlights go out completely, and Peter loses all control of the vehicle, which speeds down the road at 145 km/h. When Fort Victoria comes into view, the UFO veers off and moves away; the car then starts functioning normally again. The couple stops at Fort Victoria to get gas and astonishes the attendant by making remarks about the cold. Just outside of Fort Victoria, the UFO reappears and Peter once again loses control of his vehicle. Even stranger, the road becomes totally straight and without traffic, crossing lush tropical vegetation \(when it is known to be winding and heavily trafficked at night, crossing arid landscapes\). Arriving at the border near Beit Bridge, 290 km from Fort Victoria, the couple's watches indicate 7:30, an hour late, and they have only spent 22 cents on gas. Hypnosis regression will reveal that the car had been under the control of a humanoid beam-shipped from the UFO to the back seat of the car, from a distant galaxy. The humanoid claimed to be able to take any form, from a duck to a normal human being...

Peter and Frances saw what they thought was a policeman holding a walkie-talkie radio about 10 kilometers south of Umvuma. This is what he seemed to be to Peter, who was driving his Peugeot 404 well in excess of the posted speed limit. As the road was noted for speed traps, he slowed down. The pair of them began to think in more detail about the policeman. The metallic-looking suit seemed queer for a policeman, as they normally wore khaki. The UFO appeared at 2:30 a.m. on the passenger side of the car (left hand side). It appeared fairly close and seemed to keep pace with the car. For a brief while they wondered if it might be a helicopter. It had a bluish tinge, and was flashing bright and steady for 5 seconds, then off for 2 seconds.

The car headlights began to fade next, and there was an immense light around the car. As they drove along it suddenly became very cold in the car. They estimated the drop in temperature to have been between 20 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit, down to less than 50º F. Peter took his foot off the accelerator but the car continued to move forward at an accelerated speed! He tried to apply the brakes but it had no effect, and his steering had no effect on the direction of the car as well.

When they were some 10 km from Fort Victoria the UFO shot off like a shooting star, but it reappeared again about 10 kilometers outside of the city, but this time they also saw a second UFO move into position above the car. Frances fell asleep around 6:15 a.m. just before she feel asleep they lost all sound from the radio. Peter lost all track of time and he remembered nothing from about three minutes after Frances fell asleep. He felt at the time he must have been mesmerized by the road.

At the Customs post at the South African border showed 8:30 a.m. although their watches indicated it was only 7:30 a.m. Peter was also surprised when reading the car's trip odometer. He had reset it to zero at Fort Victoria, but found that it had recorded only 17 km, yet the distance by road was 288 km. He had also filled the gas tank in Fort Victoria and expected to need a full tank when he reached the border, but when he tried to fill the tank it would take only 22 cents worth, which at the time was less than a half gallon. Under hypnosis Frances had no other experiences revealed than those she remembered consciously. Peter, however recalled seeing the inside of the "spacecraft" which had three levels, and interacting with physical beings that he believed could take on any appearance that he wanted them to look like. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Carl van Vlierden, "Escorted by UFOs from Umvuma to Beit Bridge", FSR, August 1975, pp. 3-10; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 367, citing FSR; Skylook, March 1975, p. 3; Richard H.

This flying object, whose size was compared to that of a football, was moving at 300 meters of altitude on a trajectory oriented southwest/west. It appeared as a solid volume and, curiously, dragged in its wake a triangular "luminous cloud" of orange color of about 200 meters in length. The UFO, which did not emit the slightest noise, veered towards the sea. The witness then rushed into a cafe to alert the customers: when they arrived, the craft had unfortunately disappeared.

After takeoff, they are informed that they are actually being sent to investigate a brightly colored UFO that had been seen and picked up on radar. At 9000 meters altitude, they encounter a red disk-shaped object which Commander Kubuta says appears to be piloted by intelligent beings. The object maneuvers around the aircraft, forcing Nakamura to dive and turn. Finally, the object touches the aircraft. Kubuta and Nakamura manage to eject, but Nakamura's parachute catches fire and he crashes to the ground. **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1974.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2660 ### Event 36210 (56086255) **Date:** 6/1974 (approximate) **Time:** 02:20 **Location:** ST.-JEAN-DE-BOURNAY, ISERE **Description:** Rectangular UFO / 10M altitude.

The witness had just resumed his evening classes for improvement the day before for the first time since a work accident in February. The witness sees the two beings posted at the side of the road (apparently the same ones) like two hitchhikers. There are engine misfires but since it is still daylight, there is nothing to say about the headlights. The radio is silent. The witness stops at the height of these two creatures who are then so close that they could touch the bodywork. He does not move from his vehicle: emotion and prudence. Again a small shock behind the head and a modulated sound for 2 or 3 minutes, which stops: the two beings disappearing abruptly as if disintegrated, without any noise or other reaction. After this instantaneous disappearance the radio works again, the engine starts without difficulty. Shortly before this second encounter, the witness had been overtaken by a Ford car registered in Belgium which, however, was not affected and the driver would not have seen the ufonauts. **Reference:** Michel BOUGARD: "Des S.V. aux OVNI" - SOBEPS 1976- pp. 83 to 89 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2793 ### Event 36231 (C4599979) **Date:** 6/7/1974 **Description:** A red luminous sphere was seen over Lake George in Goulbourn, New South Wales, Australia at 11:00 p.m. At 3:00 a.m. the next morning dogs began barking and a witness saw a landed UFO and approached to within 300 meters of it.

It ejected a "falling star" that approached to within two miles of him, hovering about a half a mile up in the sky. It appeared as a red luminous sphere. Later that night this sphere appeared to land behind some trees several miles away. At around three o'clock in the morning he went out with his dog to investigate, and walked toward the landing site. He heard a number of other dogs barking, and a voice that yelled, "shut up!", which caused him to stop. He sat down where he was and waited until around 6:00 a.m., and then went on to the site and found "an area of burnt vegetation for a distance of 200 yards." When the witness was subsequently hospitalized and diagnozed with paranoid schizophrenia, he was able to recall futher details. He remembered that he had approached to withing 300 yards of the landed object, and observed it through binoculars. Three or four men over eight feet tall came from behind the landed craft and "floated" to the ground. They were wearing glowing silver colored suits that covered their bodies up to their necks. He could discern no facial features on the beings. Later, a chute emerged from the object, and down it came a number of cylindrical metal "packing cases." After that, about 40 head of black cattle came down the chute, and were driven away by normal looking men, accompanied by dogs. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Maj. Shiro Kubota and Lt. Col. Toshio Nakamura are flying an F-4EJ Phantom II interceptor over the northern perimeter of Japan, apparently to intercept a Soviet aircraft. Ground control explains that they are to investigate a bright orange-red light reported by ground witnesses and tracked on radar. Leveling off at 30,000 feet, they see the light a few miles ahead. It appears to be about 33 feet in diameter, with square-shaped marks around its side. The object dips in a shallow turn as they approach. Suddenly the object reverses direction and shoots straight toward them. Nakamura forces the aircraft into a sudden dive to avoid it, missing the UFO by “inches.” The object then makes high-speed passes at the plane, drawing closer. Then, allegedly, the UFO strikes the F-4, forcing the two pilots to eject. Nakamura’s parachute catches fire and he falls to his death. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Good Above, [pp. 430–431](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/430/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5064 ### Event 36236 (A2199F5C) **Date:** 6/11/1974 **Location:** Lincolnshire, IL **Description:** No details but recorded as close encounter one with seven witnesses.

Marchetti uses the expression “cult of intelligence” to denounce what he views as a counterproductive mindset and culture of secrecy, elitism, amorality, and lawlessness within and surrounding the CIA in the service of American imperialism. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[The CIA and](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%5FCIA%5Fand%5Fthe%5FCult%5Fof%5FIntelligence) [the Cult of Intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%5FCIA%5Fand%5Fthe%5FCult%5Fof%5FIntelligence)”; Victor Marchetti and John D.

He turns off his car lights, but the object follows his car parallel to the road about 210 feet away to the right. When he switches his headlights back on, the object begins approaching again, so he switches them off and the object retreats. When he arrives at his father’s property, the object hovers over the barn, moving up and down, so he runs into the house. Later Pulido goes outside to check, and the object is still hovering, lighting up the entire area like daytime. Three humanoid beings are visible inside the object. Early the next morning at sunrise, the object abruptly speeds away. Other witnesses in separate locations also see a UFO. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Eileen Buckle, “[Spanish UFO Fiesta,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201974%20V%2020%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 20, no. 3 \(December 1974\): 6–7; “[Un OVNI repond à des signaux lumineux en Espagne,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Belgium/Inforespace/Inforespace%20-%20No%2022%20-%201975.pdf)” Inforespace, no. 22, August 1975, pp. 14–15; “[1974: UFO with Occupants Hover over Farm,](http://www.thinkaboutitdocs.com/1974-ufo-with-occupants-hover-over-farm/)” ThinkAboutIt, April 6, 2021 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5066 ### Event 36252 (74AEE309) **Date:** 6/14/1974 **Description:** A maneuvering disc-shaped object was seen by independent witnesses in Nashua, New Hampshire at 12:35 a.m., 12:50 a.m., and 2:00 a.m. over Nashua. It was described as a large metallic object, dark on the lower half, with red lights around the rim.

The object paced his car at a distance of some 70 meters to the right. When his headlights were turned on the UFO would approach. When he turned them off the UFO moved away. The object hovered over the farmhouse he entered, illuminating the area "like daytime". It rotated as it hovered, with a slight back-and forth, pendulum motion. No sound was heard. The UFO had a conical turret on top, which emitted a brilliant yellow light.

At one point, emerging from a kind of rocky cave, he saw above a ridge a silver disc, unlit and quite smooth in appearance, hovering 1.30 meters from the rock. Three humanoid creatures jumped out and began to collect samples of snow and rock. After five minutes, they had finished and climbed back up a kind of sliding ladder that had come out of the base of the UFO. Once everything was inside, the humanoids and the ladder, he heard a buzzing sound, the machine rose a few meters vertically, and then, like lightning, the object disappeared into the clouds.

After hovering for some six minutes above the sea, it veered at a 90 degree angle towards the beach and then dropped into the sea. Fisherman Avelino Severiano Generosa, age 46, his parents, his wife, and his nine children were all on the beach when they saw the silent, bright shiny object flying very low along the shore. It remaining stationary for six minutes, then it dropped into the sea. He at once put out in his motor-launch to the area, but found only foam on the sea where the object had disappeared. There were twenty other people on the beach who also saw the object, but none of the others had the courage to go out in the boat to see what was happening. Days later Celso Lemkuni, a diver, tried to make a dive to locate the object, but had no success owing to the strong winds lashing the coast. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, "Alleged Kidnappings and Other Matters", FSR, March-April 1975, pp. 21-22, citing O Dia, July 12, 1974 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3537 ### Event 36274 (422CF497) **Date:** 6/19/1974 **Location:** FRANCE, Cambrai **Description:** (Translated from French) At midnight the sentry woke up the soldiers of base 103 to show them an unknown object.

A witness living southwest of Lodi, Wisconsin, sees an intensely bright light that is illuminating a hill on an adjacent golf course. It covers an area the size of a football field, but he cannot see a beam or light source. A few hours later, a couple driving on State Highway 113 south of Lodi observe a triangular object with red and blue circular lights suspended beneath it. The object passes silently less than 20 feet above their car, hovers momentarily, and resumes its slow pass overhead. It is twice the size of their car. They watch as the lights shut off and the object is gone. At 1:00 a.m., a man in Lodi sees what he thinks are headlights pulling into his driveway. He sees three bright points of light fixed horizontally in the black sky. He goes in to get his brother who has a telescope, and they attempt to spot the lights \(only two now\) with the scope. It takes a while, and when they look straight up they see a large, triangular object right above them. No lights are visible, but its undersurface is clearly defined and metallic. It moves over the house, tips upward at a 45° angle, and shoots away. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Don Schmitt, “The Belleville Sightings, Part Two,” IUR 13, no. 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1988\): 17 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5059 ### Event 36282 (B1C1B761) **Date:** Summer 1974 **Locations:** California; Bakersfield, California **Description:** Between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. California Gov.

He looks out the living room window and sees a UFO hovering low above a near field. It is a disc with a red domed area and an orangish lower area punctuated by oval windows from which comes white light. He sees a 6-foot-tall robot that has apparently emerged from the object and is now only 15 feet from his window. He and his wife see three more robots near the trailer next door. The observation lasts 3 hours as the couple peek out of the window periodically. At one point, they see 15 robots standing in line together close to a creek for 5 minutes. As if on command, they suddenly move together; when they look out again at 4:20 a.m., the craft and the robots are gone. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Marc Leduc, “[Un atterrissage et des humanoïdes á Drummondville,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/UFO%20Quebec/UFO%20Quebec%20-%20No%2001%20-%201975.pdf)” UFO-Quebec 1, no. 1 \(1975\): 10–12 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5069 ### Event 36288 (78DE6F4C) **Date:** 6/25/1974 **Description:** A dog began barking at 1:15 a.m. when a domed disc-shaped UFO with red and white lights on top and an orange-lit rim with oval white lights landed in St-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Quebec.

In early July ground marks that could have come from a landed UFO were found on her lawn. On this night she awoke and went to the front door where she found two strange figures standing. They were about five feet tall and had large heads that were flat on top, glowing eyes set wide apart, slit-like mouths, and grayish-colored skin. Their arms were long, but she could not recall any details below the waist. They entered the house and appeared interested in Mrs. Booth's electric organ. She tried to talk to them, but they communicated with her telepathically, and she could "feel my thoughts leave my head." They wanted her to play the organ, so she sat down and played scales, and when she looked up they had vanished. She went back to bed and tried to convince herself it had been a dream. Later, under hypnosis, she recalled additional details. None of her family had awakened during the incident. Other strange incidents subsequently occurred. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Dallas van Hoose, Army spokesman at Redstone Arsenal, states “unexplained aerial phenomena” were observed during ballistic missile exercises the previous year. In one incident in August 1973, he stated, Vandenberg AFB launched a Minuteman ICBM to Kwajalein missile range; on its descent at 400,000 feet, radar scanners began tracking a UAP next to the ICBM nose cone. Radar picked up an inverted saucer-shaped object to the right and above the nose cone, and watched it pass in front of the warhead (while maintaining its speed) below and to the left before disappearing. In addition to Maj. Hoose, none of the experts journalists spoke to could explain the event. Ufologist Barry Greenwood later stated he filed FOIA inquiries for records and Vandenberg replied that the records were destroyed and unavailable. * [https://www.ufohastings.com/storage/files/image/2012-11-18/sask-star-phoenix-1974_07-17.png](https://www.ufohastings.com/storage/files/image/2012-11-18/sask-star-phoenix-1974_07-17.png) * [https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/ufos-are-stalking-and-intercepting-dummy-nuclear-warheads-during-test-flights#note_2](https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/ufos-are-stalking-and-intercepting-dummy-nuclear-warheads-during-test-flights#note_2) >**_Note_**: This is a remarkable admission by the Army and suggests that while the Air Force continued to rely on conclusions from **Project Blue Book** to debunk UAP, other elements of >USG were tracking and making records of UAP events. **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_154 ### Event 36338 (17558A5D) **Date:** 7/18/1974 **Time:** 14:00:01.2 **Location:** 37.0900 -116.0500 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed, salvo.

As I was walking along a vegetable garden I suddenly noticed a completely black man standing in front of me; at 8 or 9 m. He seemed robust and tall (1 m 80). As it was very dark I couldn't make out the details of his face. This black man stood out well in the night as his whole body was slightly glowing. I thought he was a peasant come to check the irrigation system. I shouted to him: "Who goes there? Come quickly to plug the ditch!" The glowing black man didn't move or answer my call. So I joked: "If you don't come, I'm going to hit you on the head!" Immediately the man started glowing brighter, and suddenly he hid himself in the tall grass of about one meter. I rushed into the grass to find him, but in vain. And after a few minutes I gave up. Then I got scared and ran away. (...) yet, two days later, in the same place, the head of our production brigade and the head of our team encountered a slightly glowing black man. The same man may have been. (...)

Justice had just left his job at the Ohio Masonic Home for the aged in Springfield, Ohio and was driving home when he heard a voice tell him "let go the steering wheel." Justice ignored this instruction and the order was repeated, calling him "friend." Justice did so, and the car continued down the long drive of its own accord. The voice, somewhat guttural in tone, came from the passenger seat to his right, and Justice could see the seat was depressed, as though someone was sitting in it. He asked if he would be harmed, and was told, "Friend, I would not harm a hair on your head." Justice then asked what he wanted and got no reply. He was told that the voice was that of a "spaceman," and he had been in the UFO Justice and another witness had seen a few nights earlier. Justice was then told that he would be able to see him when he left the car, and was told to look above the power lines ahead. He then observed a figure suspended ten feet in the air in front of his car. It was perfectly human in appearance, a male figure of large build, about 6' 6" tall, holding its arms outstretched in front. The being wore a tight fitting, silvery outfit with a belt, gloves, and short boots. He was very handsome, and illuminated by a strange light. Justice was told that he would be visited again. The figure passed from view and Justice took control of the steering wheel and continued home, very shaken by the experience. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Two peasants in their twenties, named Sr. Chiaka and Sr. Monteil, were returning home when they were blinded by a round object in the sky that was "flattened at the sides, and of a silvery color." They found themselves paralyzed and unable to move as the object landed. Two humanoid beings, who were more than two meters tall, emerged from the craft, wearing "lead colored clothing like the skin of sardines." They also had on blue colored goggles and dark belts. They approached the witnesses slowly, making gestures, while a whistling sound came from their machine. What happened next was completely bewildering. Two other UFOs descended from the sky "and took the first UFO and its occupants in tow." The witnesses were then able to move again, and made their escape. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** La Razon, August 6, 1974; David F.

Halfway through the path, they heard a sharp whistling sound, so much so that the kitten that David was carrying in his arms was desperately trying to escape, scratching and clawing, and David had to let it go. The kitten ran off like a mad thing, then fell on its side "asleep", said David. The other two boys said the kitten was "playing dead". Looking in the direction of the shrill noise, the children saw an object above the trees, going from south to north, above the railway bridge over the river. It had a red light on top and flashing green and white lights at each end. The shrillness was so unbearable, especially for David, that he covered his ears with his hands, though David doesn't remember this. The UFO then began to descend, and the noise became very faint in no time. The kitten regained its senses and came back to David, who took it back in his arms. To their great surprise, less than 50m away from them, the object touched the ground sending a very hot and violent gust of air, which made the boys enveloped in a cloud of dust. Before touching the ground, the object extended its feet and then something inside the craft made the earth and stones fly around. Here the testimonies differ. The Stillie brothers had seen enough and sprinted 100m to get back home, at Olympic speed, they say. David Bates, either braver or more stoic, stayed long enough to observe a door on the craft, without portholes and square on top. This is confirmed by the other two boys. There was like a chain around the object and at that moment, David started running towards his home too. His parents confirm he came back in a state of hysteria, eyes wide. Meanwhile, the sister of the Stillie brothers explains that when they came in, the boys closed all the doors and shutters before hiding under the sheets in their bed. There were still visible traces of the landing the next day. **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2801 ### Event 36434 (7006AD36) **Date:** 8/16/1974 **Time:** 02:00 **Location:** BEAUMONT-EN-DIOIS, FR **Description:** 6 night lights / V formation going south stop.

Suddenly they hear a high-pitched whine and the cat Bates is carrying panics and escapes his hold; it runs several yards and then stops abruptly. They then see an object with a red light on top and flashing green and white lights on either end. Moving slowly, the UFO reverses course and with an undulating motion heads for the clearing where the sandpit lies and lands there, about 150 feet away. The whine becomes intense. As the object settles down, it releases a blast of hot air that blows dust on he boys. It extends three short legs and blue sparks leap up from the ground. The boys run home. Investigator Graham Conway finds residual material present in three indentations at the site. Analysis shows that it contains an abnormally high amount of zinc. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Graham Conway, “[Close Encounter,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20%28Magor%29/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20-%20vol%203%20no%204%20-%201975.pdf)” Canadian UFO Report 3, no. 4 \(1975\): 8–11; Graham Conway, “[Close Encounter,](https://www.ufobc.ca/History/1970/close%5Fv2.htm)” UFO\*BC; Graham Conway, “CE2 Secrets,” IUR 17, no. 5 \(Sept./Oct. 1992\): 24 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5078 ### Event 36440 (B579138C) **Date:** 8/16/1974 **Description:** At 3:40 a.m. several observers saw a huge hovering cigar-shaped craft over Malesherbes, France.

It approached very suddenly from the sky and made an undulating motion as it came in to land. It landed with a blast of hot air, and gave off blue sparks during the process. An animal reaction was noted: their cat was frightened and ran away. The UFO had the outline of a door, and stood on three legs; it had a square at the top, and was 20 feet wide. Circular patches were found on the ground at the landing site. The entire close encounter lasted ten minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Alan Landsburg, In Search of Extraterrestrials, p. 6; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 34; UNICAT, case # 480, citing Graham Conway, MUFON UFO Journal, April 1986 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5094 ### Event 36442 (F467CDBF) **Date:** 8/17/1974 **Time:** 02:10 **Location:** MONTLUCON, FR **Description:** 1 observer.

R. Leo Sprinkle investigated the case and performed the hypnotic regression on the witnesses. Some kind of levitation force was used which pulled the witnesses in the car forward. Grey humanoid beings approached their stopped car from a field. They were made to touch a black box, which caused them to lose consciousness. Under hypnosis it emerged that the beings communicated with them using telepathy; they were curious about human emotions. When the abductees attempted to engage in resistance, they experienced pain. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** R.

Now known as the “Deneb Report,” the document alleges that the following incident took place. Military radar at Corpus Christi, Texas, detects an unknown target moving toward the Texas Gulf coast. Traveling at a speed of 2,500 mph at an altitude of 75,000 feet, the UFO is first spotted over the Gulf of Mexico about 200 miles east of Corpus Christi. After going through maneuvers suggesting intelligent control, the object quickly turns south along the Texas coast, avoiding entry over land, and seems headed toward Brownsville. As the disc continues to hug the Texas coastline, it exhibits controlled descent, calculated turns, speed reductions, and other clear indications of control. The object descends from 75,000 feet to about 45,000 feet by the time it crosses over land into northern Mexico, about 40 miles south of Brownsville. Its speed is down to 2,000 mph and it is slowing very gradually. Zigzagging around mountain peaks that tower above 5,000 feet, the UFO continues to descend, although its speed is still near 2,000 mph at the time that it encounters another aircraft headed toward it on a collision course. Somewhere over a vast desert plain known as El Llano near Coyame, Chihuahua, Mexico, a mid-air collision occurs with a small aircraft flying from El Paso to Mexico City. Debris from the crash rains down on the desert plain below, and efforts are soon underway by both Mexico and the US to recover the remains. Mexican spotter planes first locate the wreckage of the aircraft, even as US electronic surveillance personnel listen in on the rescue activities from across the Texas border. The Americans hear the Mexican spotter planes say that the small craft is almost totally destroyed and that they have found a second crash site nearby with the remains of a nearly intact, shiny, silvery disc. The object is 16 feet, 5 inches in diameter, and equally convex on both upper and lower surfaces. There is an outer rim around the central circumference. The height is slightly less than 5 feet. They see no visible portholes, doors, or markings. In addition, no lights of any kind are apparent. There is also no obvious mechanism for propulsion. The external surface of the disc is like silvery polished steel. Mexican troops recover the crashed disc, winching it up onto the bed of a large military truck. They also retrieve fragments of the crashed civilian aircraft, although there is not much left of it. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Presidio](http://roswellbooks.com/museum/?page%5Fid=68) [1974,](http://roswellbooks.com/museum/?page%5Fid=68)” Texas UFO Museum and Research Library; Noe Torres and Ruben Uriarte, The Coyame Incident, Roswell Books, 2013 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5080 ### Event 36464 (0CD6BEEA) **Date:** 8/26/1974 **Location:** FRANCE, Feignies (Nord) **Description:** (Translated from French) Miss Moret went to the fairground attractions and was supposed to be back at 8:30 pm. The parents were worried. Mr. Moret went out in front of his house at 8:55 pm to see if his daughter was on her way back. At 9 pm, suddenly, he distinguished in the sky an object that was descending very slowly, it was round, black in color, with a slight white halo, standing out against the grey background of the sky, at about 200 m of distance. He ran to get his wife so that they wouldn't be the only witnesses as the street was deserted. Mrs. Moret also saw the thing which, after 15 minutes, stabilized at about 20 m from the ground. Then this ball opened up in the vertical direction, by a slow spreading, forming two black half-moons with a peripheral luminosity. The one on the left stayed in place without changing, the one on the right moved away, shrinking until it disappeared in the nightfall. Then, towards the flat side of the remaining crescent, a kind of veil was pulled slowly, as if one was sliding a single black curtain. On the new background, still black, two "cosmonauts" dressed from head to toe in metallic grey were gradually discernible. Their arms and legs were seen moving, but their heads seemed to be encased in a kind of bulky helmet. They moved by waddling like puppets, crossing from one side to the other. The scene lasted about 40 minutes. Then, all of a sudden, the parents remembered that their daughter still hadn't come back, it was 10 pm. The UFO occupants' show continued, but Mrs. M. went back inside to set the table and Mr. Moret left on his bicycle towards the fairground. When he came back with the young girl, he didn't even look at the thing in the sky, if it was still there. **Reference:** Pierre VIEROUDY: "Ces OVNI qui annoncent le surhomme" - Laffont 1979, p. 66 à 68 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2802 ### Event 36465 (1F36D787) **Date:** 8/26/1974 **Time:** 01:00 **Location:** BRUAY-EN-ARTOIS, FR **Description:** 2M domed saucer near ground.

The sphere was about 200 meters away and it slowly descended to hover 20 meters above the ground before it split vertically into two "half moons", one of which flew off to the south-southeast and was lost from sight. The other half remained in place, and figures in helmets were seen moving about inside. A sort of veil was drawn across it, and two "cosmonauts" clad from head to foot in a whitish-gray metallic material, and wearing large helmets, were then seen moving in it. The witnesses watched them for 40 minutes, during which time the UFO remained stationary. The diameter of the original ball was about 25 feet, and the UFOnauts' were estimated to be five-feet tall. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lumieres dans la Nuit, January 1976 (issue 151), pp. 10-11; Jean Marie Bigorne, FSR, May 1976, p. 25; Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees en France, p. 511; David F.

At exactly 8:55 pm she heard for 1 minute 30 a jet engine noise. Very quickly distinct sharp whistles were heard, suggesting a rapid rotation. She looked up at the sky, and she only saw stars (note from vog: at 8:55 pm in August, with a clear sky, you can already see stars at summer time valid in Belgium? Really amazing!). The noise increased to the point of piercing her ears and suddenly, as if coming out of a small cloud, an object appeared, comparable in size to a Boeing, a saucer surrounded by a round red-orange halo radiating strongly. The craft seemed to be rotating rapidly, it moved away obliquely on a SSE-NNO trajectory as if on an air cushion. The mother heard at the end of the observation for a few seconds the noise that was fading away. The witness remained shocked by what she saw, trembling all over and was unable to sleep all night **Reference:** Inforespace n° 24, December 1975, pp.29-31 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2803 ### Event 36471 (9FB6000B) **Date:** 8/28/1974 **Time:** 19:30 **Location:** DELTA, BC **Description:** 3 observer(s).

Conversing in a strange language, they quickly "examined" the angler and his wife, then seized his wife and abducted her, taking her into the object, which took off at incredible speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, FSR, August 1975, p. 21, citing Diario Popular, September 3, 1974; David F.

Edwin Fuhr began to harvest his rape in a field located about 500 m from the house. (...) He had been harvesting for nearly an hour and was near a bog (...) When he looked up (...) he saw a metal dome about fifteen meters away from him, apparently resting on a grassy area between the rape and a ravine. He stopped his harvester, got down and approached the object to within about five meters. When he got closer to the metal dome he noticed that the grass was moving at the base and that the object itself was rotating very quickly. Fuhr was naturally very scared and he backed away, without taking his eyes off the object, until he reached the harvester whose engine was still running. He circled it, climbed onto the seat and looked at the rotating dome from this higher observation point. He then saw four other metal domes, all the same size, all rotating (...) He heard no noise, perhaps because of the harvester's engine. After several minutes, it seemed to him, the objects suddenly rose into the air in a staggered formation, at a height of about 60 meters. They stopped and a puff of dark gray vapor escaped from pipes similar to exhaust pipes at the base of each object, accompanied by a downward gust of wind that almost blew Fuhr's hat off and flattened the rape. The objects were now in perfect straight formation. After remaining stationary for one or two minutes, they suddenly rose into the low clouds and disappeared. **Reference:** J.

Objects took off, aligned in formation, climbed into clouds **Type:** sighting **Reference:** [The UFO Evidence by Richard H. Hall](https://www.amazon.com/UFO-Evidence-Richard-Hall/dp/0760706271) **Source:** HallUFOEvidence2, **ID:** HallUFOE2_242 ### Event 36499 (E3094056) **Date:** 9/1/1974 **Location:** Langenburg, Saskatchewan **Description:** 11:00 a.m. While he is driving a swather to harvest his rapeseed crop near Langenburg, Saskatchewan, farmer Edwin Fuhr, 36, notices a metallic-appearing dome-shaped object about 50 feet away and stops to investigate. Walking to within 15 feet of it, Fuhr sees that it is spinning and swirling the grass beneath it. This frightens him and he backs away. Climbing back on the swather, he looks around and sees four more identical domes “like brushed stainless steel” arranged in a rough semicircle, all hovering and spinning about a foot above the ground. Whether from fear or an EM effect, Fuhr cannot get the throttle and steering wheel of the swather to respond. One object suddenly takes off, quickly followed by the other four, ascending in a step formation. At about 200 feet they stop, each emitting a puff of gray vapor from exhaust-like extensions at the base. The vapor extends about 6 feet, followed by a downward gust of wind which flattens the rapeseed in the immediate area. The objects then form a straight line, hover for a minute or two, then suddenly ascend into the low cloud cover and disappear. Fuhr goes to the landing area and finds five rings of depressed grass swirled in a clockwise fashion. There is no evidence of heat or burning. Some additional circles are found in the area later that month. Fuhr later learns that cattle in a nearby field bellowed and broke through a fence about the time of the sighting. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Ron Morier, quoted by Canadian Press, says: “Something was there and I doubt it was a hoax. There’s no indication anything had been wheeled in or out and Mr. Fuhr seemed genuinely scared.” Later Morier tells an investigator, “There is no way that this is a hoax. Whatever was in there, it came out of the air and departed the same way, as far as I could tell.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Ted Phillips, [Physical Traces Associated with UFO](http://cufos.org/books/Physical%5FTraces.pdf) [Sightings](http://cufos.org/books/Physical%5FTraces.pdf)[,](http://cufos.org/books/Physical%5FTraces.pdf) CUFOS, 1975, p. 104; Yurko Bondarchuk, UFO Sightings, Landings, and Abductions, Methuen, 1979, pp. 22–24; Chris Rutkowski and John P.

When two beams of light emerged from its base to play across a nearby cranberry bog, her car engine "fluttered" and the car radio emitted static. The car interior became extremely hot and she felt nauseated. On this pre-dawn morning while driving the same route as her previous sighting, the witness heard a voice "inside her head" telling her to turn left at the next intersection, which she did. Then her car radio went out and the car motor died. She next saw four short humanoid figures, each standing upon a "small surface vehicle" resembling a Roto Tiller, darting up and down the road a few inches above the road surface. One figure approached her and asked her, telepathically, to open the car door. When she did not, all four doors flew open at once. The humanoids, after inspecting the interior of the craft, requested that she make certain arm movements, then to bend her head forward. Looking at the back of her head, one being said, "Yes, you are different," and touched the spot with something that left five small puncture marks. He then told her telepathically that there were thousands of ships that have been visiting Earth for many years, and many people who have been examined by the aliens, voluntarily or otherwise. He told her they come from a planet whose name resembled "Omius" or "Omnigus"; and that there was a "mother ship" at that time in Scituate Harbor. In reply to her own questions, the examiner said that she was not permitted to touch them or to board one of their ships, but he promised that she would see a ship subsequently. She was advised that she would suffer headaches for some weeks, which proved to be true; he also said that she would "not like to look upon their faces." The humanoids departed and she arrived home an hour and a half later than usual. The figures were 4-5 feet tall, with small heads in transparent fishbowl helmets, through which she was only able to see "small, beady, very shiny eyes." The spokesman had two stripes on the upper part of his arm, while the other three had stripes that were longer on their sides, just above their waists. The leader had a buckle on his belt upon which was a wavy line. She was extremely upset by this encounter, and told only her husband, who gave details to the investigator. On the night following this encounter, the witness again experienced E-M effects on her car as a large, disc-shaped object with multi-colored lights descended and extended three landing legs from the bottom. The craft passed barely inches from the windshield of her car, and she was able to see an insignia on the UFO that resembled "mathematical symbols." After hovering briefly, the object shot straight up and vanished. The witness refused to cooperate in any further investigation. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ted Bloecher, MUFON Conference Proceedings: 1975, p. 60; David F.

A married couple with their child were driving in town when they observed the sphere. The driver signaled the UFO by blinking the car headlights a couple of times, and it immediately shot toward them and stopped overhead emitting a humming sound, its light illuminating the terrain.After a while the object disappeared. This man and others in the area later saw a large, luminous orange-red disc-shaped object moving around near the ground, its light illuminating a dock, a distillery, grapevines and other terrain features. One witness noted that no light rays or beams were visible between the luminous object and the illuminated ground. Still later, nocturnal lights danced about in the sky all over the town. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard Hall, MUFON UFO Journal, September 1976, p. 6; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 147; Ouranos, No. 14, Second Quarter 1975, investigated by M.

A few minutes later he saw a bright purple light flashing outside his basement window, lighting up the interior of his room. The neighborhood dogs were carrying on, although the usually chirruping crickets in the basement were now silent. Three minutes after the purple light was seen a bright white light the size and shape of a baseball passed in front of the window. He heard a "scratching" sound on the screen door to the backyard, and the purple and white lights again came in through the window. Hearing a "tapping" nose outside, the witness got up and looked out and saw a three-foot tall figure carrying a purple light like a flashlight. He was standing between two garbage cans. The youth yelled and dashed upstairs, just as "an enormous gust of wind" hit the house. The sounds woke up two girls in the house. The following morning a dark scorched mark, three feet in diameter, was found on the concrete patio. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Richards is driving a 1968 Toyota a few miles northwest of St. Helens, Tasmania, with her two children. The car radio suddenly turns to static as she is passing over a bridge and the sky ahead lights up. The car then loses power as it travels up an incline, and everything goes dead—car lights, radio, heater, and engine. The landscape is lit up by a bright area of light ahead. The mother tries to start the car without success. A deafening vibrating noise then seems to envelop the car. About the same time all three of them feel electric shocks like vibrations for one minute, and a choking smell fills the car so that they leap from the car and flee the scene, leaving the car and the glow in the sky behind. After nearly 2 miles, they reach a house whose resident gives them a ride back to the car to see what is wrong. The hood is warm, but the car starts up and there is no sign of a light. A check at the local garage finds water in the radiator low, otherwise both radio and electrical systems are in working order. The mother suffers from swollen arms and fingers the following day. The right side of her face is numb and she has red marks above her right eyebrow. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Auto-Stop,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Australia/TUFOIC%20Newsletter/TUFOIC%20Newsletter%20-%20No%20014%20-%201975.pdf)” TUFOIC Newsletter, no. 14 \(1975\): 10–11; “[UFOs and Auto-Stops,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Australia/TUFOIC%20Newsletter/TUFOIC%20Newsletter%20-%20No%20091%20-%20February%202002.pdf)” TUFOIC Newsletter, no. 91 \(February 2002\): 6 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5084 ### Event 36544 (302DAFF3) **Date:** 9/16/1974 **Description:** At around 9:15 p.m. Mrs. Richards was driving north of St Helens, Tasmania, Australia with her two young children when she noticed the sky light up ahead of her. Crossing a bridge, the car then lost power and rolled to a stop. The entire electric system was out, even the heater, radio, headlights and dashboard lights, and an attempt to restart the car failed. Then "a deafening vibrating noise enveloped the car." As she and the children covered their ears, "painful electrical shocks began penetrating their bodies." This went on for about a minute. Next, the car filled with a "choking smell," and they evacuated the car and ran down the road to a house some distance away. The local resident noted their alarmed condition and took them in, and after a short while they all went back to check on their vehicle. The light had gone, and all that was unusual with the car was that its hood was hot. The car started normally, and they drove home. Coincidentally, Mrs. Richards husband was out waiting for them and saw lights in the sky and heard a distant roar. Although the children suffered no subsequent physiological effects, Mrs. Richards had swollen arms, fingers, and became numb on the right side of her face. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Saturday Evening Mercury, September 21, 1974; W.

The family was using binoculars to view it. The object resembled a boat; it had lights like portholes that emitted a very bright light that changed from orange to green, and on each side of the base was a red light. The object was estimated to be 30 feet wide and 22 feet high, and it hovered just two feet above the ground. Then the lights were extinguished, and the family saw a star-like light that quickly disappeared. Younic then observed three heavy set humanoid figures, about 5 1/2 foot tall, "waddling" toward them. The beings were dressed in metallic suits and appeared to be floating above the ground, and their faces were not visible. The family fled from their house in fear. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The car stops and the radio and headlights go out. The UFO passes the road ahead and then lands on the left side about 250 feet from the road. A large area is lit up by the blinding, green-shimmering light from the object. The witnesses hear a sound like a swarm of bees. Through binoculars, the officer sees an egg-shaped structure some 33 feet long and around 10 feet high. The car engine still does not work. He gets out of the car, then hears a deafening roar. The UFO is taking off vertically with a rocking motion. It flies off slowly at about 100 feet altitude for a few hundred yards, then takes off and disappears in a fraction of a second. He gets back in the car and the radio is playing music and the car starts easily. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Boris Jungkvist, “[Swedish Army Officer Experiences Landing and EM Effects,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Sweden/AFU%20Newsletter%20%28AFU%29/AFU%20Newsletter%20-%20No%2017%20-%201979.pdf)” AFU Newsletter, no. 17 \(Oct./Dec. 1979\): 11–13; Herbert S.

Around 00:50 he had just returned to his home, near the Carrefour de la Villeneuve, while a violent storm was breaking out. Arriving in the living room he saw a fleeting orange light. Reaching his bedroom on the upper floor he noticed a red halo, like that of a fire. He then saw 500 or 600 m to the southeast a blaze the size of a house. He took out his binoculars and saw three rectangles of bright red color topped with folding shutters. Simultaneously he saw three luminous masses of phosphorescent white pass beneath these hatches. He clearly distinguished the contours of the object: a horizontal base topped with a truncated cone-shaped cabin, in which the red rectangles were still visible. In front of the object he saw three silhouettes the size and aspect of human beings, of phosphorescent white. They moved in his direction. The witness then alerted his parents, Francis Le Bihan and Yvonne Sallin, who observed with the naked eye and binoculars. The object suddenly had a slight lateral jolt and disappeared, while the three figures remained on the ground. Simultaneously there was a yellow light to the south, like a flash. Frightened, the parents left the house to take refuge with friends 300 m away. (J.C.

In front of her, to the right of a walnut tree at the back of the courtyard, she saw a stationary, silent, luminous phenomenon that did not light up the surroundings: three concentric circles, the largest of which had a diameter of approximately 4m. The whole was surrounded by a white, oval-shaped halo 15m long. These circles at a low altitude gave the impression of being horizontal, but seen from below they were comparable to neon tubes. The whole thing slid behind the walnut tree and disappeared behind the ridge of the barn. Collette wanted to follow the phenomenon, but feeling an uncomfortable sensation, she did not dare to go alone. She called her sister Lucette, 54 years old, who was in the hangar. In the meantime, the phenomenon had become entirely oval and luminous, moved towards the road and then returned to the farm. Lucette made calls with the electric torch but nothing happened. To avoid being disturbed by the lights of the courtyard, Lucette went behind the hangar and continued her calls. Then the thing moved behind her towards the hangar. Collette ran to get her brother Dominique (53 years old) from the stables, while Lucette advanced along a path towards the cemetery. Her sister and brother joined her but no longer saw the phenomenon, which had just disappeared behind a roof. All three of them saw it reappear, it stopped again above the path in the form of concentric circles but this time with the colors of the rainbow. Then it changed shape, taking the form of three luminous points arranged in a triangle with the point upwards. This was followed by a mysterious ballet from left to right over a width of a hundred meters. Then the phenomenon changed back into concentric circles of different colors and quickly disappeared in the alignment of the path to the NE. The witnesses' mother had glimpsed the phenomenon from her armchair through the dining room window. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." ed.

A passenger first notices a strange light following the plane when they are 50 miles away from Gander. Every time Breen looks at the light it seems to turn off, but finally he gets a better view: “It seems to be sort of a triangle—or delta-shaped, luminescent greenish light following us.” It stays on for 3–4 seconds, then goes off for a bit, then on again. Gradually it remains steady. About 25–30 miles from Gander, Breen radios the airport, which has no traffic in the area. The object’s reflection is clearly visible in the water of Gander Lake. Breen says: “I started a right turn and then cut hard left. Gander then picked up the object for two or three sweeps, which would have been about 10–12 seconds. When we turned around, I just saw it going off the other way and then I lost it because of the back of the airplane.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gregory M.

Five witnesses in Ramona, California, watch a mysterious round object as it maneuvers over the Santa Maria Valley. It lands on a hillside and turns ruby red before becoming a brilliant white light. As it passes over, horses act up and a dog tries to grab one witness by her sleeve back into the house. Another dog, chained, runs in and out of the doghouse repeatedly, and the chickens and goats are agitated as well. Radio and TV reception is disrupted, and a compass points to the object as it is moving. The object hovers briefly, then shoots away, emitting a noise like something between a hum and a foghorn. \(NICAP, “[Object Lands / Animal Reactions](http://www.nicap.org/741015santamariavalley%5Fdir.htm) [/ Compass Deviates](http://www.nicap.org/741015santamariavalley%5Fdir.htm)”; Bob Gribble, “Looking Back,” MUFON UFO Journal, no. 258 \(October 1989\): 24\) October 25 — 4:15 p.m. Oil-well digger E. Carl Higdon Jr. is hunting elk on the northern edge of Medicine Bow National Forest southeast of Rawlins, Wyoming, when he sees five elk standing motionless. He attempts to shoot one, but the bullet falls about 50 feet from him as if hitting an invisible obstruction. He goes to pick it up, then hears a twig snap and sees a humanoid being \(more than 6 feet tall\) under a tree about 50 feet away. Its hair is sticking up “like wheat straw,” it is bow-legged, and it is wearing a black coverall suit and black shoes. Two belts cross its chest, and another is wrapped around its waist. The being asks Higdon how he is doing and whether he is hungry, after which it tosses him a package of pills. It tells him to take one, saying it will last for four days. Higdon looks up the hill and sees a transparent, lighted cubicle. Suddenly he finds himself inside it, strapped to a seat with a helmet on his head. Two humanoids are also inside, as well as four seats, a control panel, a mirror, a map, and several elk, frozen in a cage. The craft takes him to what seems to be another planet with a mushroom-shaped tower, 100 feet tall. He and one of the humanoids float to the tower, go down an elevator, pass down a corridor, and go into a room with a platform. After being screened by a “glassy shield,” Higdon is told he is “not any good for what we need” and is taken back to the original location, where he rolls down a hill, hurting his head, neck, and shoulder. Around 6:30 p.m., Higdon radios his boss, Roy Fleming of the AM Well Service in Rawlins, with his location and asks for assistance. At 11:40 p.m., Higdon is found by a rescue party, which includes Fleming, the Carbon County sheriff, a deputy, and three other men in several four-wheel-drive pickup trucks. He seems confused, so he is taken to Carbon County Memorial Hospital, unable to remember his own name. He does not recover his memory until the evening of October 27. Many details emerge after Higdon is hypnotized by [R.

The facts are troubling. They were observed by three members of the crew who were on duty between three and four in the morning, as the boat was coming from the Isle of St Kildo and heading towards the Isle of Barra. Manon, a sailor, recounts the event as follows: "I was on the bridge with Michel Kerivel, the chief mechanic, and José Morel, a sailor like me. In the south-east we observed on the horizon for about ten minutes, a round, oval shape, glowing with an orange color. This light moved from right to left. What's more, we were able to pick up on the ship's radar screen the echo of this strange thing. Its point was as big as the Isle of Barra itself. And it varied at an angle of 25 to 30 degrees in less than a second, at an extraordinary speed". (...) The next day this unusual presence was confirmed by the captain of a trawler from Concarneau, the "Kerscadec". (Jean François BOEDEC, "Les OVNI en Bretagne, anatomie d'un phénomène", ed.

Rustenburg is busy in her home, when she perceives a powerful noise coming from outside. This curious noise makes her think of the sound that would be produced by water thrown on a red stove round, except that it is deeper and very loud. (note of vog: like the one made by close lightning?) She puts on a garment and hurries outside, believing that an airplane has crashed and fearing for the safety of the children playing outside. (...) She watches with astonishment a strange machine (which she compares to a Mexican hat) floating above the old barn, located 15 to 20 m from where she is. She estimates the diameter of the object to be about 20 m. Not yet recovered from her surprise, she sees through the translucent upper part of the object, beings of human appearance, of an indescribable beauty. They seem to be dressed in a blue suit, fitted like a ski suit! They have long golden hair (...) and their faces express tenderness and compassion in a striking way. (...) Recovered from her amazement, the witness's attention is diverted by the presence of her children, to whom she hastens to ask if they too see this strange vehicle. "Yes mom" they all agree in chorus. Then, looking up, the witnesses realize that the object is no longer there. (...) The object moved a little further away to come back and make three circles above the witnesses. Soon after and still in silence, the object stops and disappears in a dizzying vertical acceleration! **Reference:** Synthesis UFO by Jean THOMAS, ed.

He finds the forest strangely silent. Suddenly he sees an elk, aims and shoots: the detonation is muffled, the bullet flies in front of him in slow motion and falls to the ground a few meters away, as if crushed. The hunter picks it up and puts it in his pocket, when he hears a crack of a branch. He sees a creature of human appearance, very tall, yellow skin, straw-colored bristly hair, dressed in a black suit, under a birch tree 15 m away from him. "How are you?" asks the stranger. "Very well" answers the witness. "Are you hungry?" asks the creature. "Yes, a little" says Higdon who immediately finds a box with 5 pills in his hand. He must swallow one "which will feed him for 4 days" and he obeys. The stranger invites him to follow him and the witness agrees. In the clearing he sees a transparent cubic structure surrounded by a luminous halo. Then he sees himself walking with the gun in his hand on an unknown path and he falls by chance on a stuck vehicle, but with the CB on board. He makes a distress call and waits. He did not even recognize his own truck, stuck 8 km from where he had parked it. He was found at 11:15 pm, did not recognize his wife, his body was covered with bruises and he only repeated a story of a man in black and pills. He finds the crushed bullet in his pocket. He is taken to the hospital where nothing serious is detected. It is only the next day that the memories come back to him: Higdon floats towards the cubic structure, finds himself inside in the company of 5 other characters dressed in black. From the outside the structure seemed transparent: here it is opaque and much more voluminous than it seemed. He is seated in a chair and there is a vertical acceleration, up to the planet of the entities. He can not get out of the vehicle but sees a giant tower at the top of which turn unbearable lights. He also sees some "humans" (Earthlings). Then he is told "We are bringing you back because you are not suitable for what we are looking for". This is the return journey and the brutal expulsion through a hatch. Higdon falls from 2 or 3 meters and slides down a scree. **Reference:** Bertrand MEHEUST: "In Flying Saucers" - Imago 1992 - pp. 34 to 36 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2810 ### Event 36644 (3D9C1AF2) **Date:** 10/25/1974 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) [Carl Higdon](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/1974-10-25\_HigdonCarl.html) is found in an obvious state of mental confusion near the Medicine Bow National Forest \(Wyoming\).

Carr says there are three witnesses, but they must remain unnamed. He says that the US government will end the coverup, admit that UFOs are really spacecraft from other worlds, and it will happen soon—before the end of the year. Curt Collins writes, “Part of the reason Carr’s story took hold was that it was so familiar, people wanted something like it to be true, and that it seemed to come from an authority figure, a university professor with official governments contacts and sources It also struck a chord with the public, capitalizing on their distrust of the government following the Vietnam war and Watergate scandal.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UFOs and 12 Little Men,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96732653/)” Fort Lauderdale \(Fla.\) News, October 12, 1974, p. 1; “[Symposium Hums with UFO Talk,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96780583/)” Tampa Bay Times, November 4, 1974, p. 1-D; Curt Collins, “Ufology 1974: The Flying Saucer Symposium in Tampa,” The Saucers That Time Forgot, May 25, 2018; Curt Collins, “[Robert](https://thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com/2018/05/robert-spencer-carr-and-hangar-18.html) [Spencer Carr and Hangar 18,](https://thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com/2018/05/robert-spencer-carr-and-hangar-18.html)” The Saucers That Time Forgot, May 29, 2018; Curt Collins, “[Inside Hangar 18](https://thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com/2018/06/inside-hangar-18-with-dr-robert-carr.html) [with Dr. Robert Carr,](https://thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com/2018/06/inside-hangar-18-with-dr-robert-carr.html)” The Saucers That Time Forgot, June 1, 2018; Curt Collins, “[The Day after Saucergate,](https://thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-day-after-saucergate.html)” The Saucers That Time Forgot, June 4, 2018 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5100 ### Event 36674 (239B2A71) **Date:** 11/4/1974 **Time:** 07:40 **Location:** 3+/ I195 EAST / FALL RIVER, MA **Description:** 5 huge metallic disks below clouds.

He seems to be about 6 feet 6 inches tall and dressed in a shiny, one-piece garment with green, red, and white markings, and a pair of ski boots with square toes and heels. A helmet covers his face, but he seems to be looking for something. The box has a control rod with colored stripes. The man moves a bit further away to the east on his box.

She glanced up and saw on top of her house, at roof top height, a "man in a spacesuit" sitting on a 0.6 meter wide box-like object that was swinging back and forth, apparently looking for something. The man was described as tall, heavy set, and wearing a shiny one-piece uniform with green, red, and white markings and large square boots. He wore a helmet with a visor that covered his face. He appeared to be dark complexioned. The man sat on the object, holding a rod like device rocking slowly to and fro. He then moved slowly towards the east where a vivid white light hovered. When she saw the light she immediately felt a wave of heat coming from it. The humanoid then flew slowly towards a nearby cemetery, followed closely by the bright light. He appeared to circle the area several times before disappearing from sight. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Verga Maurizio, ITACAT database; Albert S.

He snaps a photo of it as it hovers in the air about 1,600– 3,300 feet away. He looks around to see if there are other witnesses, but when he looks back the object is gone. The photo shows a circular object with an estimated diameter of about 65 feet with some cloudy filaments hanging from its base. Investigators suspect it may be a rare instance of a small cumulus cloud that has developed from a black smoke ring. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wim van Utrecht, “[Jellyfish UFO Photographed](https://www.caelestia.be/viborg.html) [over Denmark,](https://www.caelestia.be/viborg2.html)” Caelestia, May 17, 2008 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5107 ### Event 36696 (60C096BB) **Date:** 11/19/1974 **Time:** 18:00 **Location:** UZES, FR **Description:** 1 observer. 2.2M sphere/orb/globe 35M away lands.

He pursued them, running down a farm road, and came upon one of the objects resting on the ground at the edge of a woods. Its brightness dazzled him so that he had to cover his eyes. Having the feeling that someone was watching him, he turned and saw a strange figure just behind him. He his astonishment he turned run, but ran straight into the figure and was knocked to the ground. He picked himself up and took off running again, thoroughly frightened. The figure was small, reaching only to Lance's chest, but was stocky. It had no neck and had a "pushed in" nose similar to a Pekinese. The color of its skin was "bluish" like "a bruise." The teen reported the encounter immediately to his father, who took him to the sheriff's office where a complete report was made. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Feugen is flying his own Aeronca Champion aircraft on a bright day over Shabbona, Illinois, and he is checking his position on the aeronautical map to determine if he was still on course. When he looks up, he notices that the magnetic compass is rotating counterclockwise at a rate of four revolutions per minute. He looks to his right side and sees nothing but the town below him. When he turns to his left, he sees a disc or ellipse flying parallel to his aircraft at the same speed \(75–80 mph\) and altitude, pacing him at 120° at an estimated one-quarter of a mile distance. He estimates its size as 120 feet long and 30 feet thick. After pacing him for 8–10 seconds, the object tips slightly and he sees that it is not an ellipse but round in shape. As it tips up at an angle, it accelerates to a fantastic speed toward the east and is out of sight in less than one second. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Pilot](http://www.nicap.org/741128dekalb%5Fdir.htm) [Says Compass Affected](http://www.nicap.org/741128dekalb%5Fdir.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5109 ### Event 36718 (F663CEC1) **Date:** 11/28/1974 **Description:** A pilot, Hugo W.

It was after dark and the cars were using their headlights. Jacques suddenly saw a man at least eight feet tall in the light of his car's headlights, standing by the roadside. This being was milky white in color, as if wearing a tight white coverall, and his round head was without hair or facial features. Panic-stricken, Jacques drove on past; then, reconsidering, he turned around and drove back. He followed the same route but he saw nothing more of the man. Meanwhile Pierre, noticing that Jacques was no longer following him, had gone back to look for him. He saw a white headlight beam and a red light pass in front of him in the distance, apparently on the road, but silently, and it disappeared before reaching an intersection. Then Jacques showed up in his car. When they compared their stories and retraced his route, it was discovered that Jacques could only account for eight of the 11 minutes he had been gone. He was therefore interviewed later under hypnosis. In a hypnotic trance he recalled that he had gotten out of the car and watched the being for 3.5 minutes, and had felt that he was benevolent. He also said that there had been a big yellowish white light in the field, which "quickly disappeared." The being suddenly vanished, after which the witness returned to his car and to his conscious recollection of events. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He traveled in all directions in a mountainous region. Around 5 pm he saw, at 500 m, a strange cylindrical object. The witness estimated that it had a length of 100 m and that it was moving at 150 m above the ground. Its color was a bluish green. The object seemed to slow down, then stopped in a vertical position above a road. At the top of its middle part, the object emitted a powerful orange-colored light beam that rotated and blinked like a police beacon. It clearly emitted a whistle composed of a long sound and three or four short sounds. Shortly afterwards, a hatch opened under its middle part and three luminous balls of blue, red and grayish white color fell first in a free fall, but soon changed into an ascending and slow flight. When the three balls disappeared from his view in the distance, the witness was astonished to find that in the meantime the carrier vessel had also disappeared. (1974, end of year) **Reference:** A.

The object hovered at a low altitude and moved up and down. On several occasions a light approached their vehicle at high speed and stopped about 20 feet away. These shooting lights were quite bright but dimmed upon stopping, then disappeared. The occupants of the vehicle felt a cold sensation when the lights approached. One of the witnesses saw two human-like figures walking near their car. They were wearing silvery outfits with face masks and helmets. Each helmet had a single antenna. As the UFO left the witnesses felt a strong rush of air and something strike their vehicle. At that moment they felt a strong sensation of heat. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It was 8:30 PM. He was almost home when his attention was drawn to an object on the left side of the road. He stopped a few meters away from the craft. It was a kind of transparent bell-shaped vehicle. There was a curious figure inside, illuminated by a diffuse light source. The upper body was visible. The occupant had their hands raised (...) Their straight hair (3 cm) stuck out from either side of their head like a rag doll's. Their body was covered in natural fur of a ginger brown color. (...) Their ears, straight like a calf's, were no less than 8 cm. The being was thin and their height seemed to not exceed 180 cm. Due to the fog, Bosak could not see if the craft was on the ground or floating. (vog: but he saw all the details reported above?) He could not make out the lower body of the occupant either. (...) Their face was hairless, Bosak was 2 m away from the craft and the creature was looking at Bosak. He put his car back in motion and when he passed by, the strange vehicle seemed to project itself directly towards the witness. It then became very dark in the car and the witness heard a rustling sound as if something was brushing against the car.

Bosak](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/93993563/william-l-bosak) is driving back to his house southeast of Frederic, Wisconsin, on County Road W when he sees an object reflected in his headlights on the westbound side of the road in front of him. It is a disc-shaped UFO, the bottom half obscured by the fog. But what holds his attention is something inside the object’s “curved front of glass.” Inside stands a figure with its arms raised above its head. He thinks the figure is as scared as he is because its eyes are protruding. It is generally human in shape, but its body is covered in dark tan fur except on the face and chin. Its head hair seems to be swept back, and the calf-like ears stretch out about 3 inches. The mouth and nose seem flat. Bosak speeds past the object and his car lights suddenly go dim. He hears a whooshing sound and the UFO is lost to view. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Occupant Case in Wisconsin,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201975%2001%2000%20-%20January-February.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 23, no. 4 \(Jan./Feb. 1975\): 1, 4; Jerome Clark, “[The Frightened Creature on County Road W,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201975%20V%2021%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 21, no. 1 \(June 1975\): 20–21; Clark III 557–558; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1974-12-02-usa-frederic.htm), October 20, 2006 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5113 ### Event 36731 (1364E3F5) **Date:** 12/2/1974 **Description:** Stephen Jenkins of Croydon, Greater London, England woke up at 3 a.m. to hear clearly audible footsteps on the stairs.

Slowing down to look, his headlights illuminated an object with a curved, transparent front, behind which could be seen a figure visible from the waist up, with arms upraised over his head, as if in terror. The figure seemed to be a little taller than a tall man, and had a square face with hair "sticking straight out from the sides." It had long, narrow ears that stuck straight out, brown furry arms, and a hairy torso. The eyes were large and protruding. Frightened, Mr. Bosak sped up past the object, which was surrounded by a kind of fog. As he passed, the car "darkened, as if in shadow," or his headlights dimmed, and the witness heard a soft whooshing sound. No ground traces were found at the site the following day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They have no wings, tail sections, or engine nodules. Both are dull gray, like galvanized sheet iron. The larger one is in front, with a slightly smaller one about 600 feet behind. Charlton thinks they are about a half-mile away, but he can hear no noise or see any smoke. When the objects are about abreast of the car, a sliding door opens on the larger one near the front end. A large, shiny sphere \(like polished aluminum\) about 15–20 feet in diameter emerges, moves toward the smaller object, and enters it after a door opens near the rear end. After they move out of sight in a few minutes, Charlton sees two F-111s take off in their direction from Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Harry Charlton, \[[Letter](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1981%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV2.pdf)\], CUFOS Associate Newsletter 2, no. 5 \(May 1981\): 3. **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5010 ### Event 36757 (7FA91FA5) **Date:** 12/22/1974 **Location:** USA, Fairfield (Ohio) **Description:** (Translated from French) At 10:30 PM, Mrs. Page (in her eighties) had just gone to bed, but she was still wide awake when she was drawn to a bright light coming through the partially raised window shade of her bedroom. (...) Looking outside, she clearly saw an oval-shaped object "somewhat boat-like" hovering just above her neighbor's house, about 125 meters away. The object was large. Green and white lights lined its perimeter. On one side were three small square windows through which shone white lights. The object remained in view for a quarter of an hour, rising and falling slowly in the sky. The sky was clear when Mrs. Page saw the object move slowly in a straight line towards the church which was on the side, a block away. Then it positioned itself above the center of the church and resumed its vertical up and down movement. "It stayed above the church for maybe half an hour," Mrs. Page would say. That's when she saw two dark silhouettes above the windows of the craft in what seemed to her to be a transparent dome. She opened the kitchen door to get a better view. It was cold and she didn't stay, but while the door was open, she hadn't heard any noise. Finally, the UFO moved in a straight line, leaving the church towards the north, and suddenly gained tremendous speed. "The silhouettes I saw in the craft were those of two small men. I could see them up to their waists. Their arms were constantly in motion. They went back and forth from one end of the craft to the other and seemed to meet in the middle," she said. **Reference:** Leonard STRINGFIELD: "General UFO Alert", ed.

The act also provides individuals with a means by which to seek access to and amend their records, and it sets forth various agency record-keeping requirements. Each agency must file an annual report on its FOIA requests to Congress. Citizens can also petition courts to render decisions on whether or not to release documents from agencies. FOIA soon disproves the longstanding denial of interest in UFOs by the CIA, FBI, and military agencies. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Privacy Act of](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy%5FAct%5Fof%5F1974) [1974](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy%5FAct%5Fof%5F1974)”; ClearIntent, [p. 5](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/4/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5120 ### Event 36772 (821E9085) **Date:** 12/31/1974 **Locations:** Pickering, Ontario; Lake Ontario **Description:** Night.

(Source: Organization: OzEmail Pty Ltd - Australia) A taxi driver from Adelaide came to find Colin from the ufology organization, asking him if extraterrestrials eat potatoes? Because for the last 30 days of this period he received every morning an envelope without address, white, containing cash and written instructions. It was mentioned a place in the hills of Adelaide, where, every evening at 6:15 pm he had to deliver a ton of potatoes in 20 bags of 50 kilos. The first time such an envelope reached him, he did not believe the story, but as the money attached to the envelope was real, he left with a van to deliver the potatoes to the place and time indicated. He then left, ambushing with the van in a secondary road, under the cover of trees, to see what would happen. He fell asleep around 9 pm and did not wake up until the sun's rays the next morning. He went to see the delivery place: the potatoes were gone! After this first delivery, he thought he would never hear anything from the anonymous customer again. But when he got home, there was a new envelope, with thanks, money, and the order of a new ton of potatoes. This lasted a whole month. Then the man met Colin to tell him the story. Colin asked to see the instructions, and the taxi driver took them out of his pocket: all were typed on a typewriter. The paper seemed quite old and yellowed, the typewriter characters looked like an old mechanical machine. Then Colin accompanied the driver to the delivery place, with a ton of potatoes. At the place Colin found burn marks on the ground and his counter indicated a certain degree of radiation. Colin set up the camera and with the driver went to ambush on the secondary road. He saw nothing all night, but in the morning, the potatoes were gone! Colin accompanied the driver-deliverer of potatoes for nine evenings, and never, nothing happened, while the potatoes were vaporized. On the ninth night when Colin accompanied the driver, the camera had photographed an orange ball in the sky, while the two men had not seen anything visually. In the morning of that day, the taxi driver found neither envelope nor money in his mail. In 39 days, 40 tons of potatoes had thus taken the key of the fields ... The driver had received nearly $9000 for his services and for the goods .. [note of vog: which was quite well paid in my opinion: because in FB it makes 450,000 fr. of 1975, while the potatoes at the wholesale price were worth about 5,000 to 6,000 francs per ton, or for the whole between 200,000 and 240,000 francs.] (Around 1975) **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2893 ### Event 36777 (BA231830) **Date:** 1975 **Locations:** Quincy, Illinois; Seguin, Texas **Description:** MUFON moves its headquarters from Quincy, Illinois, to Seguin, Texas. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5122 ### Event 36778 (EA4C60B0) **Date:** 1975 **Locations:** Point Pleasant, West Virginia; Ohio River; Silver Bridge **Description:** [John A. Keel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%5FKeel) publishes The Mothman Prophecies, an investigation into sightings of a winged creature called Mothman in the area around Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966–1967. It combines these accounts with his theories about UFOs and various paranormal phenomena, ultimately connecting them to the collapse of the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River on December 15, 1967. \(Official investigations in 1971 determine it was caused by stress corrosion cracking in an eye bar in a suspension chain.\) Other entities that Keel chronicles are not-quite- human individuals \(men in black\) who intimidate witnesses and seem linked with UFOs. Sometimes, he writes, they threaten witnesses who have not told anyone else about their sightings. Usually they wear dark suits, sometimes with turtle-neck sweaters, and have dark complexions and Oriental features. Others are pale and bug- eyed. Their behavior is frequently odd, as if they are operating in an environment alien to them. In many cases they drive black Cadillacs or other limousine-like vehicles. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** John A.

Eric Slater is flight security controller at the Francis E. Warren AFB Tango-1 missile launch facility southeast of Wheatland, Wyoming. He sees a bright white light coming over the mountains from the Romeo-1 launch facility northwest of Meriden, hugging the contour of the landscape. It stops about 3 miles away and hovers for 1–2 hours. At one point a light beam shoots down from the UFO into the valley below. Then it comes straight for Tango-1. Slater sees it has a dome on top and small, alternating red-and-blue lights on each side. It only leaves when two F-4 Phantoms from Denver enter base airspace to pursue it. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nukes 336–337 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5133 ### Event 36789 (AB95DAC0) **Date:** 1/1975 **Location:** USA, Manhattan **Description:** (Translated from French) After closing his shop in the evening, George O'Barski drove home passing through North Hudson Park. The car radio began to crackle with static. Low in the sky, a bright object passed the car, buzzing, and stopped 3 m from the ground, beginning its descent. O'Barski observed a 9 m long vessel illuminated by a row of windows. A door opened and a dozen small, hooded figures in winter sports attire, all the same color, descended by a kind of ladder. Without paying attention to him, they dug in the ground, collecting soil, roots, and leaves which they put in bags before quickly returning to the UFO which took off and quickly disappeared. The next day O'Barski found the traces on the ground. Budd Hopkins, who collected this testimony, found another witness to the event: Bill Pawlowski, the doorman of a nearby building, was intrigued by the lights coming from a large dark mass. The Wamsley family reportedly went out into the street to watch the spectacle. Frank Gonzales, meanwhile, reported an identical incident occurring a week earlier. **Reference:** Marie-Thérèse de BROSSES: "Enquête sur les enlèvements E.T." - Plon 1995, p. 66 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2827 ### Event 36790 (3E1015C4) **Date:** 1/1975 (approximate) **Location:** CARLYLE, ILL **Description:** Big yellow 'bunch of moons" clusters and paces auto.

Manolo stopped the car. At the presumed impact site, on the other side of the road, at the crossroads, there was a glare like that of a stadium projector. The witnesses saw the object in the shape of a truncated cone, 2 m high and 3 m wide, emitting a yellowish light, but downwards it seemed to emit streams of light towards the ground, which it did not seem to touch. Suddenly it went out and darkness became total. Not for long, because immediately afterwards 4 identical objects, apparently aligned and separated by barely a few centimeters, lit up one after the other. The witnesses' reaction was according to their personality: one wanted to stay and watch, another to approach, another to leave immediately. This is what they did, but only for 50 m, then they stopped again. Finally they continued their journey slowly. When they arrived at the barracks they informed the superiors. The military personnel found on the observation site a fallow field, a burned area 40 m long and 4 m wide. **Reference:** Stendek n° 19 - March 1975 - p.3-9 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2818 ### Event 36795 (184C0F86) **Date:** 1/1/1975 **Location:** BOND CO, IL **Description:** Location approximate. 100m x15m yellow / orange saucer.

He stops the car and all four get out and watch a bright yellow object just above the ground some 1,300 feet away where the light has fallen. It has the form of a truncated cone and emits white jets of light toward the ground. The light goes out suddenly and four others appear in a straight line, lighting up in succession. Driving on toward Burgos, the soldiers stop two more times to watch the lights. Investigator Malo Martínez later finds two parallel scorched areas where there are numerous randomly spaced holes where the grass has been burned all the way to the ground. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Aqui Vimos el OVNI,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Spain%20and%20Catalonia/Stendek%20%28CEI%2C%20eISSN%202604-1383%29/Stendek%20-%20Vol%2005%20No%2018%20-%20December%201974.pdf)” Stendek, no. 18 \(December 1974\): cover; Pere Redon, “[Burgos: Primer Caso de 1975,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Spain%20and%20Catalonia/Stendek%20%28CEI%2C%20eISSN%202604-1383%29/Stendek%20-%20Vol%2006%20No%2019%20-%20March%201975.pdf)” Stendek, no. 19 \(March 1975\): 3–9; Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, [A Catalogue of 200 Type I UFO Events in](http://www.cufos.org/books/Catalogue%5Fof%5F200%5FType%5FI%5FUFO%5FEvents%5Fin%5FSpain%5Fand%5FPortugal.pdf) [Spain and Portugal](http://www.cufos.org/books/Catalogue%5Fof%5F200%5FType%5FI%5FUFO%5FEvents%5Fin%5FSpain%5Fand%5FPortugal.pdf)[,](http://www.cufos.org/books/Catalogue%5Fof%5F200%5FType%5FI%5FUFO%5FEvents%5Fin%5FSpain%5Fand%5FPortugal.pdf) CUFOS, 1976, p. 53; Pere Redon, “[The Landing near Burgos,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 2 \(August 1977\): 22–24, 27; Swords 433 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5135 ### Event 36800 (EC532555) **Date:** 1/1/1975 **Location:** 20 miles northeast of Palm Springs, California **Description:** Just before sunrise.

He then saw an object that seemed to be made of chrome metal reflecting the sunlight, coming from the north. He braked, pulled onto the shoulder and the object passed to the right side of the car. It made a noise like when the wind blows through a shutter. It had the size of a large car, flew at 100m distance and at very low altitude. The car radio produced a discharge when the object flew over. The thing was disc-shaped, swollen in the upper middle part. **Reference:** Cuarta Dimension, #21, 22, 23, 1975 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2819 ### Event 36816 (207835C4) **Date:** 1/3/1975 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Observation by Commander [Michel Asseline](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/AsselineMichel.html) on the Air France New York-Paris flight, south of Jersey Island.

The witness started to drive slowly towards the crossroads. The object began to descend very slowly in a gliding motion. It was matte black and resembled a hot air balloon. Continuing its slow descent towards the ground, it took the shape of a crescent, with the points facing down and emitting a slight black smoke to its right. The witness stopped at the intersection, the object descended to 4 or 5 meters from the ground, stabilized for a second or two, then inclined towards the buildings of the headquarters while taking a slight ascent. As it passed between the trees and the buildings, the witness could see two protrusions on its lower part. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet ..." - éd. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 529, 530 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2820 ### Event 36825 (F96D5C9A) **Date:** 1/4/1975 **Location:** BRAZIL, Maranao **Description:** (Translated from French) The Alves Ferreira family was lying down. During the night a violent light suddenly shone on the house and passed, leaving a pungent smell of burning. The chairs caught fire: for the family it was obvious, a UFO had hit the wall of the house. The next day, Antonio, the 13-year-old son, was playing in the garden when he saw a UFO the size of a "Volkswagen" emerge and emit a beam of white and hot light towards him. A hatch opened, a ladder came out and two creatures descended to the ground. Antonio was frozen in place and without understanding how he found himself inside the machine, surrounded by masked beings whose appearance terrified him. The ship flew off and landed in a place Antonio did not know. "A multitude of people were waiting for us".

He was taken to a white hemispherical building where a humanoid asked him questions in an unknown language. Antonio remained silent. Irritated, the humanoid looked at him fixedly and as if by a click Antonio understood and answered in the same language. Really absurd questions: what is the speed of cars on earth, what do earthlings eat etc. Suddenly, the humanoid punched Antonio in the chest. A red spot appeared, and reappeared with each subsequent "contact". He was brought back around noon. He began to passionately draw dark-skinned entities with large pointed ears, slanted eyes, their helmets from which an abundant brown hair escaped, their uniforms, their ships seen from the inside and outside.

In all, Antonio would have made 11 trips to these aliens. Their writing is somewhat similar to Chinese ideograms, the streets are covered with conveyor belts: the whole panoply of science fiction comics. There money does not exist, there is only one animal, the "antitolilai". The aliens ask to offer them a dog, a cat, a parrot and in exchange Antonio receives a metal statuette representing one of them, medals and a gun. Antonio returned these gifts, because the neighbors accused him of possessing works of the devil. The ETs did not return the animals offered. Unusual detail: for a 36-hour stay of Antonio with these ETs, he was replaced on earth by a "clone" of which the parents would have noticed.

(Marie-Thérèse de BROSSES: "Enquête sur les enlèvements E.T." - Plon 1995, p. 283 to 285) The Aliens would have told Antonio Alvez Ferreira that they had to keep him for thirty-six hours. So that his family could not worry about his absence (the entities usually have no such scruples!) they sent them a double in the meantime instead of the real Antonio! Better (or worse, depending on your choice): on a screen aboard a UFO, Antonio could follow his double confronted with his parents, who would have realized quite quickly that bilocation was not their offspring ..

The curtains were drawn. (...) Suddenly, a high-pitched voice, like a song, broke the silence. Jane dropped her book, and listened. (...) (Her husband Ray) was awake: she heard him walking quickly on the landing at the top of the stairs. At that moment, the singing stopped. "What the devil is going on?" Ray cried out. And without further ado he grabbed the phone and called the police. (...) Agents searched the house and the entire yard, and found nothing. (...) Early the next morning, Jane, unsatisfied, carefully examined the ground under the window facing the lawn. Astonished, she saw a half-circle depression in the grass. The arc, about twelve meters long, went up to the vertical of the ends of the branches of a large oak. (...) (January 4, 1975) **Reference:** Leonard STRINGFIELD: "General UFO Alert", ed.

It was 4 o'clock in the morning. He was suddenly blinded by an incandescent light that paralyzed him. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out. A force literally sucked him up to the edge of a saucer. Three beings who had no hands at the end of their arms then pulled his hair. He fainted. When he regained consciousness he was in Buenos Aires, 600 km from Bahia Blanca. (GARREAU and LAVIER: "Face aux extra-terrestres" - DELARGE 1975 - J'ai Lu, p. 173, 174). (Jean FERGUSON: "Les Humanoïdes..." ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p.100, 101) He was suddenly blinded by a pulsating light while he heard a kind of whistling resembling a radio wave. He said that the air and even the street seemed to vibrate violently. He felt lifted off the ground. At three meters high, he looked down and fainted. He woke up in what seemed to be a bright, very illuminated sphere. Three silent, somewhat greenish creatures were near him. They pulled out tufts of his hair, but he felt no pain. Four hours after being sucked up into the air in a street in Bahia Blanca, he woke up dazed on the side of a road in Buenos Aires more than 500 miles from his home. Near him was the bag containing his work clothes and the newspaper he had bought that morning. **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDEL: "The World's Greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

He then saw, 120 meters away from the house in a field, a strange craft: he only saw the dome with a yellow, shining porthole, the rest being hidden by a hedge. He was struck with stupor and a few seconds later the object rose up, spinning, until it reached 100 meters high vertically. It seemed to be composed of 3 or 4 levels, and in the upper part there were 5 portholes the size of a bowl. Three 50 cm tall legs seemed to be connected to the center of the base to form a seat and they retracted into the craft when it left. He estimated the size to be 15 meters by 3 meters, oval-shaped. Without the legs, the height could have been 4 meters. It left to the left at a great speed. Duration of the observation: 30 seconds. The child returned in a state of shock, unable to say a word due to his fear. Ground traces and analyses were carried out. **Reference:** J.C.

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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Pedro Romaniuk, FSR, November 1975, p. 39; David F.

Ten small \(3.5-feet tall\), helmeted figures dressed in coveralls emerge from the UFO, dig up soil, and collect it in bags for about 3 minutes before returning to the craft, which takes off with a humming sound. O’Barski returns to the site the next day and finds holes that had been left. Hudson County Police Officers Thomas Feldhan and John Mackanics investigate and file reports.

This leads to an unlikely adventure involving Swann’s remote viewing of a secret extraterrestrial base on the hidden side of the Moon and his “shocking” experience with a sexy, scantily dressed female alien in a Los Angeles, California, supermarket. He concludes that extraterrestrials are living on Earth in humanoid bodies. Swann deduces that there are many extraterrestrials, that many are “bio- androids,” and that they are aware their only foes on Earth are psychics. Later, Swann and Mr. Axelrod take a flight to an unknown northerly destination, deduced by Swann as possibly Alaska. Along with two twin bodyguards, Swann and Axelrod attempt to secretly watch a recurrent UFO appear and suck up the water of a lake. Axelrod discloses that the silent, growing, oscillating triangle is simultaneously scanning the area and eliminating any animals, and that the silent beams emanating from the object are “blasting deer or porcupines from the woods or something.” The bodyguards realize they are discovered and the group is attacked by the UFO. Swann is thrown to safety by his colleagues and sustains a minor injury. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Ingo Swann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingo%5FSwann\#Ufology)”; Ingo Swann, Penetration: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human Telepathy, Ingo Swann Books, 1998, [pp. 23–61](https://archive.org/details/ingoswannpenetration/page/n31/mode/2up), [85–](https://archive.org/details/ingoswannpenetration/page/n91/mode/2up) [100](https://archive.org/details/ingoswannpenetration/page/n91/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5147 ### Event 36907 (9D915E6F) **Date:** 2/1975 **Time:** 22:30 **Location:** Wood County, TEXAS **Description:** Early to mid-February.

The brilliant orange mass compresses itself from football-shaped to basketball-shaped over a period of 10 minutes then suddenly disappears. Another witness who is walking a German shepherd dog around the same time reports that the dog reacted very nervously to something in the woods. The boys return early the next morning and find that some trees, ranging 5– 20 feet in height, have been sheared off and some are coated with a carbon-like substance. NICAP investigators have dirt and wood samples analyzed at a scientific laboratory and find that the trees are only superficially burned on their bark but that the fire is oil-based. They suspect the glowing object is a low-temperature fuel fire. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Converging Ball of Light Mystifies Witnesses,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/109%20APRIL%201974.pdf)” UFO Investigator, April 1975, p. 1 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5150 ### Event 36936 (86261F6E) **Date:** 2/10/1975 **Description:** At 7:00 a.m. a silver metallic sphere descended over Foligno, Italy made a ninety-degree turn at ground level, and then shot away fast. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Maurizio Verga, ITACAT: Italian UFO Catalogue **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_801 ### Event 36937 (679818EE) **Date:** 2/10/1975 **Description:** Later that evening at 6:00 p.m. a man in Poulderat, France Messr.

The interested party returned home on foot. He saw three little men come out of the craft which did not touch the ground, observed them and was thrown to the ground by a powerful flash from the upper part of the saucer which then rose whistling very loudly. The witness became blind and mute from the shock of the observation. When, regaining his speech after 4 days, the witness explained his observation, he declared to have been disturbed by incessant beeps in his ears since the morning of February 12. Just before the observation these beeps were so loud that he thought his eardrums would burst. He then felt a burning breath and felt paralyzed. That's when he saw the craft in the shape of a large hat, which shone intensely. It had an aluminum color and was hovering 1.50m from the ground. A three-step ladder appeared from below, it inclined at 45° but did not touch the ground. Then a kind of Michelin man, plump and shiny, came out and was carrying a shiny object 30 cm long in his hand. On the stairs he seemed comfortable, but on the ground he moved his feet together. A second, then a third man joined the first. The first one scratched the ground, the witness did not see that he was putting earth in the shiny bag that the second one was holding out to him. All three had antennas on their heads on each side, the witness saw them in profile. To face him, one of the men pivoted and his antennas moved. That's when the powerful flash came that threw the witness to the ground. Faster than they had descended, the men went back up into the craft and the object left whistling. The witness does not know how long he stayed on the ground, does not remember having been blind and mute. Note that between February 19 and 25, each time the gendarmes brought the witness to the observation site, he fainted. Later he said that the cause was "beeps" heard as soon as he approached this place. **Reference:** J.C.

A ladder with three steps appears on the underside, and a small being like the “Michelin man” emerges. He is holding a shining object. Two other beings emerge, all with antennae on their heads. A fourth is visible through a porthole. Then Séverin is hurled onto his back by a powerful flash of light. The beings run up the ladder and withdraw it, then the UFO takes off, emitting a loud whistle. For several days he has blurred vision, impaired speech, and a medical diagnosis of shock. The Gendarmerie investigate the case and judge him to be mentally sound. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lt.-Col.

They approached and saw the UFO on the ground. It had "Oriental" inscriptions unknown to the boys. A ladder came out of the craft and a silver entity with a large head, quite strange, appeared. Inside they saw another identical creature sitting, with its hand on a lever. As the children were about to flee, the entity that came out of the craft spoke to them with a voice, like that produced by a record spinning too fast on the turntable. They fled and called the parents of one of them. The latter came out and saw the luminous object but did not approach it.

Glenn E. Bradley sees two large cylindrical objects like grain silos floating above Matachewan, Ontario. Both are shining white floodlights downward to the ground and have bright lights at the top. They are traveling to the west at about 30 mph. Bradley begins following them in his pickup truck. Outside the lights of the town he notices that the two silos are accompanied by smaller UFOs about 50 feet in diameter, all darting about at high speed. They appear to be entering and exit the larger silos. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Silos over Ontario,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1985%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV6.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 6, no. 1 \(Feb./March 1985\): 5–6 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5153 ### Event 36976 (5DF81463) **Date:** 2/23/1975 **Description:** At sometime between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. two seven-year-old boys named Kono and Yamahata watched a luminous orange UFO approach Kofu, Japan while making a "ticking" sound. It landed on three ball-shaped legs in a nearby vineyard. The object was a domed disc, five meters in diameter and six feet high. The boys got very close to it, and discovered the surface of the object was silver colored and had strange words embossed on its surface. A ladder extended out of the craft down to the ground, and a humanoid creature slightly over four feet tall disembarked. He wore a silver uniform and carried something that looked like a gun. His skin was dark brown and he had large pointed ears, but his large head had no facial features: no eyes, nose or mouth. It merely had wrinkles on the "face" and three silvery two-inch long "fangs" where the mouth should be. Both boys could see one more smaller humanoid in the cockpit holding a control lever. The being that had emerged reached out and touched one of the boys, patting him twice on the shoulder and uttering words "like a tape recorder running backwards." The boy who had been touched sat down, paralyzed either by the touch or fear, but his companion took him on his back and carried him from the vineyard. They then ran to one of the boy's homes and informed their parents, who could at first see the orange light pulsating in the vineyard. Then it disappeared as they watched. Two concrete posts were found pushed over at the landing site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** CUFOS files, report dated July 14, 1975; APRO Bulletin, November-December 1976, p. 5; David F.

It was in the last week of February, while his wife and he were watching an opera on television around 3 pm. Suddenly the image began to flicker and fade. At the same time, both of them heard a hard, sharp, piercing noise - a sound of "cut glass". (...) and lasted for about 5 minutes. Frightened, the W.s got up and looked out the window. They saw nothing out of the ordinary (...) A strange glow was coming from the china cabinet facing the window. Approaching it, Mrs. W. saw that this light - multicolored like a rainbow - was being radiated by a silver salt shaker and pepper shaker placed among the china plates. (...) The two silver objects were burned. The upper half was covered in black powder, but the lower half still sparkled. (...) Then Mrs. W. had suddenly opened the door of the cabinet, seized the two objects, still glowing. For a moment, she had held them out at arm's length, then had run across the room to put them in the sink. "At the moment she passed in front of the window, the luminescence on the lower part of the objects stopped, the piercing noise stopped, and the television image returned to normal". (...)

Two of the UFOs move closer and hover, then recede, intermittently obscured by clouds. Each has a pulsing red light on its base. The main larger object is an elongated disc with a row of twinkling red lights around the rim. After a bank of clouds go through with a passing storm, the object reappears, glows brightly, and suddenly zooms toward the witnesses at “phenomenal speed.” It stops abruptly about 2,900 feet away at a height of 490 feet, its lights dimming. It projects a brilliant, cone-shaped light beam toward the lake and sweeps it toward the terrain, illuminating the side of a mountain. Then it sweeps back across the lake beneath the object and fades out. The lake’s surface glows a fluorescent blue-white. The object then shoots away to the northeast. A second object, which has been hovering to the north toward Mount Penny, speeds off in the same direction. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UFO and Light in Tasmania,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 22, no. 6 \(April 1977\): 30–31; Story, [pp. 344–345](https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofuf0000unse/page/344/mode/2up); UFOEv II 219–221; [CUFOS case files](http://ufohistoryfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/249C.pdf) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5154 ### Event 36997 (8EDAD050) **Date:** 2/26/1975 **Description:** At about 8:45 p.m. a professional man and his companion were on a fishing holiday at a lakeside camp on Lake Sorrell, Tasmania. The main witness was also a former Royal Australian Air Force aircrew member. He saw three glowing objects in the northeast sky, one smaller than the other two, and watched them for some time since they appeared unusual. Then he noticed they were not moving in the same direction as the clouds. Two of the objects moved closer to him and hovered, then receded, intermittently obscurred by clouds. Each had a pulsating red light on the underside. The closer object also had a row of red lights around the rim that were either changing from red to white or rotating. After several minutes the clouds, which had temporarily obscurred the UFOs, started to glow and he saw one object emerge and travel in an easterly direction, stopping over the north shore of the lake. The second object was visible further to the north, stationary over Mount Penny. The main object was now very clearly defined with the red pulsating light very strong. It remained in the area for 8 to 10 minutes. After a bank of clouds went through with a passing storm, the object reappeared, glowed brightly, and suddenly zoomed toward the witnesses "at phenomenal speed." It stopped abruptly 900 meters away and 150 meters up. A brilliant, cone-shaped light beam was projected down toward the lake and swept across the terrain, illuminating the side of the mountain. Then it swept back across the lake beneath the object and faded out. The surface of the lake glowed a flourescent blue. The object then shot away to the northeast "at a colossal speed." The second object sped off in the same direction at the same time. Radio interference was reported at the time. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, July 1975, p. 1; FSR, April 1977, p. 30; Geoffrey Falla, BUFORA Vehicle Interference Project Report, case 73; Richard H.

She felt the strange impression that these shadows "came out of her" and that a click happened in her head as if a part of her was going elsewhere. (vog: was she, then, the extraterrestrial?) Numerous poltergeist phenomena occurred in the house: a lamp oil glass disappeared from the kitchen table and reappeared wearing aluminum foil after the witness observed that the dimensions of the room and the light seemed to be modified; the cover of her bed undulated like a snake; the bed vibrated; a pencil moved by itself. All these phenomena happened when the witness was alone. One day she suddenly thought that the responsible for these phenomena could be two African masks adorning her room. She removed them and the phenomena stopped. [vog: you didn't know that these African masks come from another planet?!!] (February 27, 1975) **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L.

The device appeared in front of him, coming to meet him in the axis of the road. It had an indescribable mass of metallic gray color and occupied the width of the road (7m40). The object passed at a dizzying speed, skimming the cabin and at the same time there was a violent flash. The appearance lasted only a few seconds and disappeared immediately. Witness emotionally shocked who spent the rest of the night in the hospital. **Reference:** Robert ROUSSEL: "Ovni, the end of the secret" - Belfond 1978 - p. 37 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2834 ### Event 37002 (FD62C2BF) **Date:** 2/28/1975 **Time:** 15:15:00.1 **Location:** 37.1062 -116.0563 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

He states in the “earlier years” some bodies were taken to WPAFB but later, bodies were taken elsewhere depending on where CR occurred; he states some bodies are being flown to a “secret naval installation” on an island in the Pacific Ocean. He also states he witnessed a CR in northern New Mexico in 1962, a silver disc that skidded in the ground; he states bodies were small, dressed in silver skin-tight suits and taken to Holloman AFB along with the craft; segments of the craft were then taken to Los Alamos afterwards. A CIA source told ufologist Robert Barry a CR took place in NM the same year. * _[Retrievals of the Third Kind presented at MUFON 1978, Leon Stringfield](https://github.com/richgel999/uap_resources/blob/main/1978_Mufon_Symposium_Stringfield.pdf), p155_ **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_156 ### Event 37055 (0F499FEB) **Date:** 3/15/1975 **Location:** FRANCE, Dourlers "Espérance" (Nord) **Description:** (Translated from French) At 10 pm Mr. Sporta arrived 100 m before the intersection of Espérance and was drawn to an unusual light. In a meadow to his right there was a strong illumination, he slowed down and stopped 50 m from the intersection, turned off the engine, applied the handbrake, but left the headlights on. He got out and could clearly see a saucer shaped like a camembert box topped with a dome. On the ground it was 4 to 4.5 m in diameter, brown-khaki in color, the narrow and high dome was lighter. A strongly luminous nebula was emitted, forming a very bright, white envelope that allowed the grass around it to be seen for a radius of about ten meters. No sound was emitted. Then, multicolored glows appeared on the entire body of the UFO, spinning together giving the impression that the entire craft was rotating slowly at first, then faster. The brown color of the body was no longer discernible, the mass rose gently vertically in a stable manner. At about twenty meters altitude it suddenly took a horizontal trajectory that brought it over a wood, where after accelerating, it quickly disappeared **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L.

Charles came back from church and rushed in saying to his mother to look outside; it was then 9:45 PM. "We were going towards the window," said Mrs. DeJong, "we saw three huge golden balls in the field, in front of the house, about 750 to 800 m away." These balls still hovered for a minute, dropped four or five smaller balls towards the ground and then disappeared. Afterwards, eight huge golden balls flew close to the ground, at 1.5 to 2 m altitude, for a few minutes, and then imploded. But the surprise was not yet over: there was still a large red ball on the ground, looking like a setting sun. **Reference:** Ufo JOE on the Internet in June 1997 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2838 ### Event 37057 (E5825C95) **Date:** 3/15/1975 (approximate) **Location:** LEXINGTON, SC **Description:** 2 observer(s).

The object is a box-like mass, 8 feet high and 9 feet wide, with a row of flashing white-to-yellow lights about 3 feet above the ground and a circular mass above it. As they stop the car, the object emits a tremendous bang like a shotgun. They are startled and drive on, feeling that the circular mass is watching them, then they return to the original location, but the girls in the back seat are terrified. They drive 9 miles further and find a road construction crew and tell them about the UFO. The two men convince one of the workers to return to the spot, but the object is gone and they find unusual ground marks. On March 25, two investigating officers from RAAF Base Townsville examine three oval-shaped areas, one roughly circular area, and one rectangular area, all apparently recent and produced by a heavy weight or pressure. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Swords 405–406; Bill Chalker, “Physical Traces,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, pp. 190–192 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5159 ### Event 37075 (2C6452F5) **Date:** Late 3/1975 **Location:** PORTO RICO, entire country **Description:** (Translated from French) Residents see a "strange bird" flying in the air and simultaneously in the villages there is suspicious slaughter of various animals.

He got up and saw through the double curtains of the bedroom a red luminosity. He even heard some kind of indistinct murmurs. His stepson who lives at the back of the house, intrigued by the commotion, turns on the light in the courtyard, looks out the window and sees a rectangular mass of intense red, 4.50m long, 2m wide and 2m high, moving around. It progresses at 40 to 60 cm above the ground, hopping. It continues on its trajectory, becoming round with a green and blue color, with a predominant electric blue. At 60m from the witnesses, the first witness' wife and her two daughters join the two men, and the object lands on the left side of the road, taking on a green-white hue. A few moments later the object moves again close to the ground and lands at 80m from the witnesses, on the right side of the road, now being green and spherical. The dogs calm down, the stepson turns off the light in the courtyard and goes back to bed without responding to his stepfather's calls and without witnessing the rest of the observation. The intensity of the sphere decreases and becomes comparable to that of our electric lamps. The witness wants to go out but his wife prevents him. He stays at the window for another half hour, but as nothing happens he goes to bed. At 4:40 the street lights turn on, the dogs start barking furiously again, the five witnesses get up quickly, the object has already moved and is approaching close to the ground in the form of a green sphere emitting a sound like a pot. Then, suddenly, when it reaches the witnesses' home, the phenomenon disappears. The first witness and his wife complain of sore eyes. Strange tracks of "paws" 14cm long, 11cm wide with "3 toes and a spur" are discovered the next day. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." - éd.

Frightened, the dogs ran and jumped onto the top of the dining room table. The woman opened the curtains and saw a red glow outside and then heard strange, indistinct murmurs and voices. Her son-in-law woke up and looked out a window to see an intensely red rectangular mass about 4.5 meters long and two meters high. It flew half a meter above the ground in a strange hopping motion. It continued on its trajectory, becoming round and greenish-blue in color. Two other family member joined the first two and watched the object move about 80 meters away, now becoming a green spherical form. The dogs calmed down and so the son-in-law went back to bed. Soon the intensity of the sphere lessened, while the remaining witnesses remained watching out a window for the next half hour. At 4:00 a.m. the streetlights brightened and the dogs began barking again. At this point the UFO, now a green sphere, approached the house rapidly and then disappeared. One of the witnesses suffered from eye irritation the next day. Ground traces and "footprints" were found in the vicinity of the house. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees en France **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1773 ### Event 37089 (B528205C) **Date:** 3/31/1975 **Description:** Nine hours later, at 9:00 p.m. local time, a merchant in Japan felt a strange urge to go out for a walk on the beach. Guchi Shinda, age 42, went for this walk along the beach in Kawanoe City, Shikoku Province, Japan when he started to experience a sensation of weightlessness and saw what looked like multicolored electrical discharges around him. Suddenly, about 30 meters away, a short white creature appeared. The being had red eyes and a mouth and was wearing a white inflated "astronaut" suit and a round white helmet. It floated just above the sand, looking towards the witness who heard a loud sound resembling "electronic music." He apparently passed out and did not see the humanoid depart. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Through the curtains he saw something bright moving quickly, but being alone he called a friend living in the building to come join him. At 10:45 PM, not having waited for his friend's arrival, he suddenly pulled the curtain and saw, a few centimeters above the cooling tower, a bright yellow object about 12 meters in diameter, stationary and swaying slightly. Frightened, he closed the curtains, interrupted the music program to broadcast on the airwaves the story of his adventure. However, his nerves had been severely tested and he had to be treated for some time afterwards. **Reference:** STENDEK **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2842 ### Event 37133 (8497306D) **Date:** 4/6/1975 **Time:** 17:20 **Location:** NORTH / PEMBROKE, NC **Description:** Cop and 5. 5 night lights / close formation. 100MPH.

Mike saw a UFO about 1500 feet north of the road. It was flat on the bottom and dome-shaped on top, and was on or just above the ground. It shone with a pulsating silvery-gray light. In another five minutes of driving they saw what looked like a seven-foot tall "tree trunk" near the road. It was about 100 feet away, and Mike saw it moving slowly. He then drove away toward the west. Reaching Wausau, they parked the car behind a restaurant and both fell asleep at around three a.m. When they awoke at 6:30 a.m. the car was in a different location in the parking lot, both were dirty, and a quarter of a tank of gasoline was gone, which suggested to them that they had driven back to the location of the UFO, but had no recollection of doing so. In subsequent months Mike reported having trouble with his thinking, and his memory was poorer than before the incident. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

There was no way for anyone to get out there without going through the studio, and Lopez had seen no one come in. Curious, he went to the window and saw a "glowing figure" outside that ran and hid behind one of the columns atop the hotel structure. Nervous, he called the station manager Jose Manuel in the hotel. He then went back to the window and saw a luminous oval object 40 feet wide, no more than 4 feet from the hotel tower, performing a slight rocking motion in the air. He was so stunned that he pulled the curtains from the curtain rod. Going back to the controls, he cut into the music broadcast to describe to his listening audience what had just happened. About this time, Jose Manuel arrived at the studio. The disc jockey was in such a state of shock that he had to be taken to the hospital and sedated. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The phenomenon was observed twice (1975, around April 17) **Reference:** AFP **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2843 ### Event 37156 (741A6E27) **Date:** 4/18/1975 **Location:** PORTO-RICO, Ponce **Description:** (Translated from French) San Lucas hospital's concierge, Mr. Orlando Franceschi, saw something pass by the window in the back courtyard around 8:00 PM. Thinking it was a stray dog, he went out with a shovel: he saw a monster, 1.5 meters away from him. It was 1.3 meters tall with big ears and a big nose, a slit for a mouth, two black spots for eyes, vaguely resembling a monkey, walking like a zombie. The witness quickly gave it a shovel blow to the chest, making it retreat, then a second blow with another retreat. As he was about to give a third blow, he fell off balance and couldn't get up: the creature was gone. In the night, five young people coming back from Glenview had seen a strange dwarf to which they had thrown stones. Near Franceschi's house, a dead rooster was found the next morning. A week after the event, the witness "heard voices". He heard them seven times in a row and they told him that on May 31st, churches should remain open all day so people could pray. If this didn't happen, even worse things would happen. In fact, nothing happened at all. **Reference:** Stendek **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2844 ### Event 37157 (D286C4DA) **Date:** 4/18/1975 **Time:** 19:50 **Location:** PIANO CHIESA, ITL **Description:** 2 observer(s).

December 22, 74) Lya waits for Professor Hernandez, sitting in her car and they go to Queretaro, get out, walk a hundred meters, to find themselves in front of a small saucer of 3 meters, landed. Lya manipulates a small box that she holds in her hand, and the saucer opens, they board. Hernandez sees the lights of the city disappear, then realizes they are in orbit, he sees several satellites in space. The conversation is ecological, talks about climate changes and their cause. They talk about the ozone hole, deserts and virgin forests. She asks him to stop nuclear testing. Then she lands and takes the professor back to his car. She announces her departure for a group of extraterrestrials called in her language the Xhumz (note from vog: she read "The Cycle of Tchaï" published in 1968 and 1969 by Jack Vance!) and who have invaded our earth for 6000 years. They are responsible for abductions and animal mutilations. She also explains that the white race on earth comes from Maldek who gave birth to the world of Sion. They are responsible for the disappearance of the Atlanteans. (note from vog: she does Pangermanism and anti-Semitism!) In his diary Professor Hernandez will note several times how his contacts with Lya have changed his way of being and thinking. He will write e.a. "when I talk to her about my life experiences, she believes I'm crazy and I'm going to end up in a psychiatric asylum" On February 2, 1984, Hernandes mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace (vog: was it looked for in all the madhouses?).

They drove together in a car to an isolated area where he had had previous close encounters. They parked and walked about 100 meters on foot to a saucer-shaped craft about three meters in diameter. Lya took out a small, handheld device, and an opening on the craft became visible. They got inside and embarked on a journey. Hernandez soon realized that he is orbiting the Earth, and he was able to see several satellites in outer space. There conversation was mostly about ecological concerns and the coming climatic changes. They talked about changes to the ozone layer, deserts, forests, etc. Lya told him that the aliens insisted that all nuclear tests must come to a complete halt. Hernandez was later brought back to his vehicle. He was then told that their group of aliens was leaving Earth, and was going to be replaced with a more aggressive extraterrestrial race, who would be mostly responsible to forced human abductions and animal mutilations. Professor Hernandez mysteriously disappeared on February 2, 1984 and has never been heard from again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Initially yellow, the phenomenon took on a green hue and stretched out like a ruler. It then maintained both colors: green in the front, yellow in the back. The object moved like a piece of gum being stretched and shrinking in fits and starts. One of the witnesses observed a small trail of balls following and persisting for a few moments behind the ruler. The object moved faster than an airplane, but slower than a shooting star. Its height on the horizon was 20°, and the angle of vision between appearance and disappearance was 90° to 100°. Apparent dimensions at arm's length: during phase 1 (triangle): 5 mm for the thickest part and 18 mm in length. During phase 2 (ruler): thickness less than 10mm, length 30 mm.

This object seemed to want to land at a short distance from them. They moved towards the supposed landing site and saw through the hedges 3 or 4 m from the ground a sparkle. At 23:17 they got out of the vehicle not seeing anything particular in this area. Almost immediately they heard a slight rustling of wings and noticed that a machine, whose shape and color they could not distinguish, was rising quickly from east to west, showing two faint red luminosities horizontally distant from each other by about 60 cm. The estimated distance of the object was about thirty meters. At 23:20 the object regained its bright yellow color and stabilized at an altitude they could not appreciate. The apparent diameter was 20 cm. During the prolonged immobility they observed it with binoculars, and saw two fins of 10 cm one above, the other below the disk which seemed to be dotted with black spots. At 23:25 they went in search of other witnesses. Around 23:45 the object quickly disappeared towards the west. **Reference:** J.C.

In front came a third saucer at high speed, just diving under the plane. There was a strange noise, like a shock. The pilot realized that the saucer was trying to lift the plane and the pilot tried rolling movements, but the controls did not respond. He nevertheless managed to establish radio contact with the Mexico control tower at 12:15. The three objects raised the Piper 200 m and slowed its speed to 40 km/h. Vertically from Tlalpan, the object on the left went in the direction of the volcanoes, immediately followed by the one on the right. The pilot does not know what became of the third saucer. On approach to the airport, the aircraft responded again to the controls, except for the landing gear which refused to come out. After 40 minutes of attempts, finally the gear came out and the plane was able to land without further damage. It is 13:34.

While passing over Laguna de Tequesquitengo in Jojutla, Morelos, he feels a strange vibration in his airplane. Then he sees to the right, pacing alongside, a 10-to 12-foot-diameter disc with a dome on top. Another appears to the left of the plane, and a third disc approaches head-on, dropping beneath the plane. Carlos feels a jolt as if the object has impacted. He pulls the landing gear lever, but it fails to operate. The plane feels as if it is pulled or lifted, and the controls refuse to respond. Although badly shaken, Carlos notifies Mexico City by radio, describing what is happening. At the same time, air control radar is showing unexplained objects near his plane that are capable of sharp turns, unlike normal aircraft. Finally, their blips merge on the radar screen and speed away toward Popocatépetl volcano. After the objects leave, Montiel is able to lower his landing gear manually and land safely. Aviation personnel who know him testify to his sobriety and trustworthiness. A week later, de los Santos is invited to discuss the sighting on a TV talk show. As he drives to the interview, a large black Cadillac limousine pulls in front of him on the freeway. An identical car appears behind, forcing him to the side of the road. Four tall, broad-shouldered, pale-skinned men in dark suits jump out and approach him, still in his car. Speaking Spanish in a mechanical tone, one warns him to keep quiet about the sighting “if you value your life and your family’s too.” He breaks his appointment, and does so a month later after another visit by the men in black before an interview with [J.

The object approaches him quickly, the light on its front changing from amber to red. When it hovers over his pickup for 10–20 seconds, the lights go out and the engine goes dead. He can see two occupants through a clear dome on the top of the UFO. They are bald with long prominent ears and long noses. The bottom of the object is “highly polished metal” that casts a reddish glow. Olenick hears no engine noise, only a shriek of wind. The object takes off straight up and vanishes instantly. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gary Graber, “Two Occupants in Craft,” Skylook, no. 99 \(February 1976\): 3–4; Herbert S.

There was another identical looking craft on his left. A third disc approached his airplane head on, and he felt a jolt, as if his plane was being lifted. The Mexico City Air Trafffic Control radar showed the UFOs making sharp turns. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard F.

1975 - At 9:15 p.m. Alois Olenick, 48, was driving westward on Mogford Road to a nearby store in southern San Antonio, Texas when he saw an amber-colored object rise up from a grove of trees 900 yards away. It then approached his 1959 Chevrolet pickup truck, dropping in altitude, and the main light on the front of the object changed from amber to a blindingly bright, cherry-red light. When it was directly over him it beamed a spotlight on him, and at the same time his truck's lights and engine died, and his truck was nearly buffeted off the road by a strong wind. "When the craft got directly over the top of my pickup," Olenick said, "my lights went completely out and my engine was dead."

He got out and saw a globular craft with two conical protrusions on either side that could have been a central ring (making an overall Saturn shape). The bottom was of "highly polished metal" with a reddish glow. When the UFO tipped at a 37-40 degree angle toward him, he could see that the top half was transparent and that it contained two humanoid occupants, visible by a reddish internal light. They were 5-feet tall or less, with bald heads, large pointed ears, long noses, and slit-like eyes. Their skin appeared smooth and grayish in complexion. They seemed to be handling controls. He said, "They appeared to be just as interested in me as I was in them. One of the occupants, the one farthest away from me, appeared to be the pilot and had his hands on what looked like controls. He was looking up and away from me. The other occupant looked directly at me...and appeared to be observing me. I got a good look at both of them. They weren't human beings like we see here."

There was no sound of a motor coming from the object, but there was a shriek of wind like a cyclone below the craft. Then the UFO turned its lights off and took off staight up, with a gust of wind that buffeted his pickup, and vanished almost instantly. There was an odor "like burning copper or electrical wiring" (he was a sheet metal worker) that persisted inside the truck for some time. His eyes were affected, and he had to wear dark glasses after the effect for some while as a result. (Sources: David F.

(...) Suddenly an abnormal noise had occurred in the immediate surroundings. It was a buzzing, similar to that of a swarm of bees. Having turned around, the young boy had seen an immobile object, about seven meters high, above his neighbor's vegetable garden, some 25 meters away. (...) According to Chuck, the UFO had started to go up and down like a bobbing cork in the water. At that moment the ground had vibrated. There were two distinct sources of light on the object. One, radiant and green, came from a rectangular section, under the craft, near the front. (...) The rectangle, about three meters long by one meter twenty wide, was faceted or rather had rows of circular lenses, but the whole gave off a stable and green light. (...) The other light came from the tail of the craft which narrowed down to a needle point. It shone by pulsations, with flashes of brick red. (...) On the top, towards the front, there was a kind of dome without a source of light, without portholes or other particularities. (...) The porch lamp of the villa and the lights coming from the windows were reflected on the body of the craft, which thus appeared of a beautiful metallic green. (...) "Then a ray of light came out of the green rectangle. It was a darker green, perhaps olive green and it lit up the bushes in the neighbor's courtyard. (...) It was a beam of light, like a laser". (...) The beam came towards me and touched me. It was as if someone had thrown a bucket of very cold water at me? I suddenly felt frozen. I could not move anymore (...) I was like cast in plaster (...) "I did not lose consciousness, but I had strange thoughts coming from outside" (...) "I saw mathematical equations apparently without sense, and I remember having seen the omega symbol" (...) "Then the ray went out and I fell face down on the ground". (the UFO had turned off its ray but was still there) "The buzzing became more intense, then there was a very high pitched metallic sound, through which I heard another sound, regular, like a drum beat. (...) The craft suddenly turned around, pointing vertically towards the sky, tail down. It stayed in this position for 4 to 5 seconds, then the brightness of the tail intensified, and everything became like a confused cloud". Chuck still remembered a soundless purple flash, followed by three or four seconds of silence, then a loud clap of thunder. The UFO had gone. (...)

(Finistère) **Description:** (Translated from French) At around 11:45 PM, returning from a hay errand in a tractor, André François, a farmer, observed a luminous ball about 60 cm in diameter. He parked the tractor in the barn and sat on a hill to observe the thing, which was about 250m away, for 5 minutes. When it began to rise very, very slowly, he called his wife and for another 5 minutes they observed together the slow ascent of 1m up to 100m as it moved away to the NNO in complete silence. Then, returning home, his wife went to bed. The farmer went back out and still saw the ball at the same altitude, when after a minute he received two violet reflections directly in his eyes. It hurt so much that he could only see black and he was very scared. (Robert ROUSSEL: "OVNI, la fin du secret" - Belfond 1978, p. 48, 49) André François, a farmer, was returning to Quémestéfan when his attention was drawn to the northwest by a strange light. Intrigued, he approached and was able to better make out the configuration of the phenomenon. "It looked like a cylinder about 60 centimeters in circumference. The craft was very bright. At first it was stationary, then it moved on a horizontal trajectory that I estimate to be 60 meters. Its speed was constant and regular. Then, before disappearing, it emitted two violet rays that completely blinded me. Its altitude was about 15 meters." **Reference:** Jean François BOEDEC: "Les OVNI en Bretagne, Anatomie d'un Phénomène", ed.

It moved slowly without making any noise above a field of broom. It stopped after a few minutes, a dark band seeming to come from the back of the object on the right side, which was the blurriest, unrolled downwards on the left side.

Three identical lights were placed one below the other on each side of the walls. A non-blinding white light was emitted at the base of the cylinder. The object was above a cement post. The object pivoted and the witness only saw a vertical row of orange lights. Then the object moved at the speed of a car for 200 meters, stopped just before disappearing behind the roof of a house and made the same journey in the opposite direction, stopping above the post. There it then made a vertical jump and moved away to the west. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "OVNI, le premier dossier complet..." - éd.

The interior of the car becomes hot, the engine stalls, and they roll to a stop. Although there is no smell in the air, the family feels that they can taste something like gasoline. Then they see an object hovering above the road ahead of them. It seems 650–980 feet distant and 65 feet in the air. It looks round, is colored a metallic grayish-white, and has its own irridescence or glow. The diameter is close to the width of the road, perhaps 16 feet. They stare at the object for 2 minutes. Suddenly, in a spiraling take-off, the object speeds away to the south. The husband is a car mechanic, and he finds nothing wrong with the car. He gets back in, starts the car, and they go home without further incident, although the object still is visible several more minutes as a diminishing light. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UFO Reports from Around Australia,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Australia/ACOS%20Bulletin%20new/ACOS%20Bulletin%20-%20Number%2012.pdf)” ACOS Bulletin, no. 12 \(December 1977\): 11 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5185 ### Event 37331 (F8046F88) **Date:** 7/1/1975 **Time:** 21:20 **Location:** HAMDEN, CT **Description:** 2 observer(s) / 20 second(s).

The provincial police arrived to investigate and took samples of a strange blue-green substance. According to the ufology group investigator, Thomas Grey, this farmer had seen a UFO topped with a luminous dome in his field while he himself was busy on a tractor doing a spreading. Two days later, while inspecting his tobacco field, he finds a circular area where all the plants were burned. The police found no other trace of vandalism. The soil samples with the blue-green material were analyzed and it appears to be an unknown silicone-based oily substance. A similar incident occurred in another farm in the area in 1962. However, in this case, Mr. Borda had not alerted the police and was surprised to see a limousine registered in Arizona heading directly to the damaged area without asking for his permission. Angry at this intrusion, he followed them and found the three occupants busy taking samples.

The calculation of the speed of the different fragments led to the estimation that the explosion occurred at 10 minutes past.

When the witnesses tried to approach the figure a shiny red beam of light hit one of them, and the man who had been struck screamed in pain and fell to the ground. He recovered quickly, and then all four of the witnesses fled the scene.

The weather that was cold and damp and all of them were feeling a bit under the weather. They sat around a table located opposite the stairs and quietly ate their lunches. All of a sudden time seemed to stand still. The noisy and busy coffee bar, occupied by 80 people, became absolutely silent, when everything froze in place like a still frame from a motion picture. People were twisted in strange and unstable positions, frozen while performing movements, and their bodies looked comic. Richard remembered witnessing a cloud of steam suspended motionless in a dynamic configuration above the expreso machine. He also remembered seeing a waitress pulling out hot cakes from the oven, and sustaining their heat in her motionless hands. In the entire cafe only the four of them seemed to be unaffected, thus having the occasion to observe what was actually happening. At the top of the stairs leading down to the coffee bar from street level an unusual man appeared. He was about 1.75 meters tall and looked to be about 19 years old. He was dark, slim, thin, with olive skin and black wavy hair. His clothes looked normal, but displayed taste and elegance. Everything about him looked strikingly perfect. The man was surrounded by a beautiful white glow, especially around his head and chest. The light seemed to come not from him, but from the air that surrounded him. He glided down the stairs without moving his legs. He actually floated in the air slightly above the level of the stairs. Then he moved to the counter and stood first in the queue. As soon as he got there, everything started to happen normally again. People continued their actions from the point when they had been suspended in motion. Everything looked as though nothing had happened. The man bought a glass of fruit juice and sat at the last free chair available at a 12-person table. He acknowledged the witnesses attention with a smile. They wanted to talk to him and find out more about his unusual arrival, but there was no easy access to his chair. So they decided to leave the coffee bar and wait for him upstairs at the only way out. After five minutes of waiting and not seeing him pass, Richard went back down to discover that he had gone, yet there was no other exit from the coffee bar. The group was also quite surprised to find that their various ailments, which included the flu and a migraine headache, were gone. About six weeks later they spotted him again. He stood at the top of the stairs at the same coffee shop again, intent on entering the cafe. He moved his head in their direction as a kind of greeting. His clothes were the same, except that this time he was surrounded by a faint green glow. When he appeared nothing actually happened. He walked down as normal people do (his steps somehow lighter than normal humans) unnoticed by anyone but the witnesses. He again bought a glass of fruit juice and again sat in the same place. A few times he acknowledged their attention by a friendly look. This time they decided to interrupt him and find out who he was, so they wanted to stand up and get closer, but none of them could move. When finally they did manage to stand up, they directed themselves out of the coffee bar seemingly against their will. Pat tried desperately to turn back, but her efforts failed. After a short while Pat decided to return back inside the coffee bar, only to find that the mysterious stranger had already gone. They never saw him again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

They were 100 m away from the village of St Julien la Brousse when they saw a dark silhouette walking towards Lamastre. It was a human-like figure wearing a large robe. The silhouette changed from dark to white. The entity's movement gave the impression of gliding. In a turn, it disappeared. Then, to their great terror, they saw it come back at great speed, still gliding. The young men ran to the village, knocking on several doors that remained closed, except one. They told the old man their adventure and asked him to host them for the night. Without success. They sat on the terrace of a closed café facing the washhouse. They saw a round, red-orange, very bright light, the size of half a full moon, leaving a white smoke. (July 15, 1975) **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L.

At the top he sees an apparently landed object. About 40 feet wide, it is comprised of a 7-foot round base and surmounted by a clear plastic–like, hemispherical dome. Large round lights about 5 feet in diameter are spaced evenly around the base, about 7 of which are visible, shining in strange colors. Each seems to be recessed into the silvery, metallic base. Clearly seen within the dome is a 7-foot-tall, 15-foot-wide, metallic unit, Two “jelly-like” entities are seen next to it, one on each side. They are approximately 7 feet tall, a whitish-translucent color, amorphous, and constantly changing shape. Inside each entity are hundreds of 6-inch, white, disc-like forms, similar to doughnuts. When another of these entities floats toward the object, the boy flees the scene and unsuccessfully tries to persuade his father to take a look. Returning alone, the boy sees the object carrying the entities disappear by pulsing in and out and changing color rapidly to match those of the surrounding sky and grass. It then “merges” into them. Immediately afterward, the boy suffers acute shock and what a doctor diagnoses as hysterical blindness in one eye that persists for months. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Andrew Collins, “[Jelly-like Entities at](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2024%20N%204.pdf) [Machynlleth,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2024%20N%204.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 24, no. 4 \(January 1979\): 14–16 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5190 ### Event 37398 (0AFCBA78) **Date:** 7/22/1975 **Description:** On Wyfla Hill in Machynlleth, Powys, Wales a young man saw a domed disc-shaped object that blended into its surroundings. It was estimated to be 40 feet in diameter with large round lights five feet in diameter around its base. It was near the ground only fifty feet away from him, and he could see inside the UFO that there were what looked like non-humanoid, jelly like entities. The light on top of the object and those inside the base began to glow and pulsate in a strange mixture of colors, that exactly matched the background scenery. The object went into the background like a chaleleon, and in a few moments was no longer visible. The witness suffered from psychosomatic blindness and other personality changes.

It seems to be made of “some sort of metal, not unlike aluminum,” is dull gray in color, and resembles an inverted soup plate. The strange contraption is approximately 50 feet in diameter and appears to be suspended over the small village of Zwischbergen, Valais, Switzerland, some 328–1,640 feet away. One of them succeeds in taking a color slide of the phenomenon. Immediately after the photo is taken, the object starts to move and glides behind the trees, where it disappears from view.

The observation was made on board a fishing boat whose home port is the island of Yeu. The captain was at the helm when he noticed that his boat was being followed by a luminous disc of metallic appearance. The size of the object was estimated at 5 meters, although its distance from the boat could not be appreciated. The object was topped with three antennas, one of which carried a green light. It swayed in the air and approached the boat when the latter turned off its lights. The captain, who was alone at the helm, woke up his crew who in turn observed the object. A strong smell of sulfur was so strong that the captain checked that his box of matches had not caught fire. After two hours of observation, the object became red and moved away at very high speed, faster than any plane could do. A few days before, another fishing boat from the island of Yeu had observed a similar phenomenon in the same area.

On July 29th he finally dared to enter the saucer (without a pilot). The next day, July 30th, the UFO took off with Magocsi, flew over Canada, New York and the ocean towards Egypt. Finally the UFO landed, probably in Syria. Magocsi got out, noticed a military column with tanks and heard artillery fire. So he got back on board and when he was at 3000 m altitude, he was chased by three "Arab" planes that shot at the UFO. But the UFO sent out a blue ray that made the planes explode. The next stop was Tibet. There Oscar was introduced to an "extraterrestrial" convent. (vog: ouf! I could feel this enormity coming...) He received instruction there, as there were other people present, whites, Asians, blacks. The next day he was taken back to "his" UFO, which immediately set off towards South America. At the height of Peru, other UFOs joined them. The journey ended at Mount Shasta in California around 11 pm. (continued on August 2nd, 1975).

He received a beam of light in his face. (Janet and Colin BORD: "Modern Mysteries of the World" - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 351) Danie van Graan approached what he initially thought to be a caravan in his field, but it had no wheels. He heard a buzzing and saw four strange occupants in the object. A light beam hit him, he was disoriented. The intensity of the sound increased and the object took off quickly. Traces were discovered on the ground, as well as gray powder, and the vegetation was affected. (Science et Vie, special edition: 50 years of UFO, Atlas of Unsolved Cases, p. 60 to 63) At dawn on this foggy July 31, Danie van Graan headed towards the water reservoir surrounded by a 3 m high earth wall, when he saw the roof of a caravan in the sheep enclosure. He knew that sometimes government prospectors come to search there (uranium) and surprised that they had not asked for his permission, he headed towards the thing, to offer a cup of coffee to the visitors. That's when he saw that the caravan had no wheels, but rested on three crutches. He saw four men inside the object and was struck by the slowness of their movements, their small size (1 m high), their thinness and their paleness. They wore a cream-colored jumpsuit with a hood pushed back from the head. They had blond hair, slanted eyes, prominent cheekbones, and a pointed chin. Three of them seemed to be dealing with an instrument, the fourth was near a panel with flashing triangular lights. Intermittently the device emitted a low buzzing. When Danie had approached to about 3 meters, he heard the sound of a click. He saw that the four occupants were looking at him and a beam of light hit his eyes. He was swaying, felt like he was drowning, nauseous and tried to escape the light. The beam suddenly stopped and Danie then realized that he was bleeding from his nose. The buzzing intensified and the UFO took off at a dizzying speed, brushing the windmill at a few centimeters. In 20 seconds the device was invisible, on a 45° trajectory. The vision problems (double vision and lazy vision in the morning upon waking) lasted for several months. **Reference:** Cynthia Hind, Mufon Ufo Journal n° 353 page 15 - Sept. 97 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2862 ### Event 37418 (4A9CCC0E) **Date:** 7/31/1975 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) At Loxton \(South Africa\)\[ZA.html\], Danie Van Graan approaches what he first believes to be a caravan in his field, but it has no wheels.

He approaches to within 15 feet of it. Through a large window he can see 4 people, one standing near a panel of flashing colored lights, the other three apparently looking at some device. The entities are about 5 feet tall, thin and pale, and are wearing whitish coveralls with hoods hanging down around their necks. They have fair-colored hair, slanted eyes, and sharp, pointed chins. They all suddenly look up at him, and van Graan hears a “tick” noise as a light beam hits him in the face. Ill and confused, he tries to avoid the beam. His nose bleeds and he starts vomiting. The humming increases to a sharp whine, and the object takes off at a sharp angle. Later investigation reveals 4 marks on the outside perimeter of a circle 30 feet in diameter impressed in the ground, with crisscrossed central markings. A deposit of small, green granules is found near the center; analysis shows this to be carbon dust, grit, shale with feldspar inclusions, and thaumasite. Nothing grows in the affected area later. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** UFO EvII 493–494 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5192 ### Event 37424 (5B1C8F40) **Date:** 7/31/1975 **Description:** At 7:30 a.m. in Loxton, Northern Cape, South Aftrica Mr. Van Graan saw an aluminum or silver colored oval-shaped object on the ground.

A light beam hit him in the face, causing eye trouble and a nose bleed. The UFO took off with a loud whine. Five equidistant leg marks were left in ground. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Cynthia Hind, UFOs--African Encounters, p. 1; David F.

Together with a third younger witness they went off to the landing site, located among some old mineshafts and slag piles. They found the object hovering motionless about five meters above the ground, in front of a stand of trees, some 300 meters to their left. It looked like a plate turned upside down with a dome on top, with alternating red and orange lights blinking around the rim. The dome was red and the underneath portion was yellow, and it made no sound. They next saw two humanoid figures standing 30 meters directly in front of them. The beings were about 1.50 metes tall, and they were moving slowly and stiffly in the direction of the young people. They held their arms as if they were "glued to their bodies, and their legs were motionless as they glided smoothly along just above the rough terrain. Although they were brightly illuminated by a white light, they had no discernable features. After about a minute the young people, who had been petrified with fear, "found their legs" and beat a hasty retreat home. They told their parents what they had seen, but no one believed them. Next day the young people went back to the site. Although they could not find any footprints or other ground marks in the area covered by the beings, they did find the ground blackened and grass charred at the point over which the object had hovered. Two months later, when the investigators examined the site, the blackened area was still visible. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Joel Mesnard & Jean Marie Bigorne, Lumieres dans la Nuit, December 1980; David F.

They saw a lit object that was initially quite far away. The object quickly descended and approached their truck. Leaving the vehicle in front of the Victor's garage, the witnesses rushed into the house. Imelda's mother was alerted by their screams. (...) "The thing I saw was round, with 4 equidistant arms, like a landing gear. The central round section was bigger than a car but smaller than a house. Between the 4 arms there were 4 small protuberances similar to antennas coming from the center of the circle and on each one a headlight was mounted, similar to those on the top of a police car, with the difference that the lights were red and green and they were spinning." (...) testimony of the first witness. Mrs. Victor: "I ran into the street and saw this gigantic round flying machine with 4 antennas forming a kind of landing gear and, coming out of it, all these blinking white and red lights... It was metallic gray and it was immense. It was there motionless in the sky. It was much higher than the trees." Mrs. Victor's husband witnessed the last part and said: "It was very big and I saw it just as it was moving away. I could see from the panel where all the lights were to the top, it had the shape of a triangle. At the moment it disappeared, the object was going very fast in the NNE direction, heading towards San José.

The temperature in his car rose to that of a warm summer day and his radio was dead so he couldn’t call for help. The bright beam from the UFO was conical in shape with a bottom diam. of 4–5 meters and a top diam. at the UFO of 10 meters. Two dome-like protrusions were visible on the underside of the UFO that was hovering at about 20 meters altitude. He activated a special camera on the patrol car which automatically took 3 pictures of the UFO. As the UFO sped away he regained power to his car. The developed film which was later turned over to the Danish AF showed the light source of the UFO on it. No report or analysis has been available from the AF to date. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** [Pea Research](https://www.academia.edu/9813787/GOVERNMENT_INVOLVEMENT_IN_THE_UFO_COVER_UP_CHRONOLOGY_based) (B1-F p281) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_680 **See also:** 3/4/1969 ### Event 37479 (D3E6AEFF) **Date:** 8/13/1975 **Location:** Alamogordo, NM **Description:** Staff Sgt. Charles L. Moody, USAF, drove out to the outskirts of town late one night to watch for meteors. As a disc-shaped UFO descended toward him, he tried to start his car to get away but it wouldn’t start. He heard a high pitched whining sound from the UFO and saw shadowy figures in it and felt numbness, after which the UFO departed. After driving home he found he couldn’t account for 1.5 hours. The next day his back was inflamed and he discovered a small puncture wound over his spine and a few days later he developed a body rash. As months passed he regained memory of the missing 1.5 hours. He remembered that he had been in the UFO and in telepathic communication with small 4'8" humanoids. They had whitish gray skin, large heads, large eyes, small slit-like mouths and mask-like features. He had been in a drug-like state on a table and they had poked a rod like device into his back. After this they escorted him about the ship and later dropped him off at his car. **Type:** ce4 event **Reference:** [Pea Research](https://www.academia.edu/9813787/GOVERNMENT_INVOLVEMENT_IN_THE_UFO_COVER_UP_CHRONOLOGY_based) (B1-F p282) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_681 **See also:** 3/4/1969 ### Event 37480 (C3F93EF0) **Date:** 8/13/1975 **Location:** LOS GATOS, CA **Description:** Several observer(s).

Charles L. Moody, stationed at Holloman AFB, is out in the desert near Alamogordo, New Mexico, awaiting a meteor shower. He sees a metallic disc drop from the sky some 300 feet in front of him. It is about 50 feet long, 20 feet wide, and faintly luminous. It stops descending at 20 feet altitude and begins approaching Moody. Uneasy, he gets in his car and turns the ignition on, but the engine is dead. Moody can see an oblong window in the UFO and shadow figures moving within. He hears a high-pitched sound like a dental drill for a short time, then he feels numb. The next thing he knows, the UFO is ascending and disappears from sight within seconds. The car starts and he drives home, where he notices the time is 3:00 a.m., representing about 90 minutes he can’t account for. Moody gets a pain in his lower back in the afternoon. Soon he is put in touch with APRO’s [Jim Lorenzen](http://robert-barrow.blogspot.com/2007/05/remembering-coral-lorenzen.html)[,](http://robert-barrow.blogspot.com/2007/05/remembering-coral-lorenzen.html) who calls him on August 21. Moody now has a heat rash on his lower body. His memories about the incident eventually return, and the Lorenzens visit him in 1976 at an overseas post where he narrates an abduction scenario with shortish, human-like aliens with big heads and wearing coveralls. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** L.

Suddenly, air traffic controller Joe Savage sees flashing lights closing in on him in a collision course. When he advises Riddle to take evasive action, the object turns orange and shoots up to 5,000 feet, where it hovers. Riddle looks behind him and sees another light trailing him a mile or so away. When he swings around, he sees it shimmering like a diamond and as big as a jetliner. Two blue beams come out from the sides.

Two witnesses were in a tent, the others in the cars: the tent was separated from the cars by a curtain of trees. Between 2:30 and 3:00 the witness came out of the tent and saw 15 meters in front of him, four phosphorescent masses, two to his right, two to his left: two meters high, one meter wide each. Believing himself to be the victim of a hallucination, he called Patrice Labonne, who in turn observed the strange phenomenon. Frightened, the two of them rushed towards the cars. Starting a car, everything began to light up: all the electrical equipment began to behave like a warning in action without any intervention, to make the phenomenon stop, he turned off the engine. Marylin Morin declared that the moon (which had set at 2:02) was behind a single elliptical cloud in the sky. It was of an opaque hue and a kind of trumpet, similar to a water spout, descended towards the ground behind the trees. The high-voltage line that crossed the place emitted a loud buzzing, no more night insects made noise, but the dogs barked and the roosters sang during the presence of the elliptical cloud. Three luminous points arranged in a triangle above the ground: the trumpet descended on its left side. The next day a substance ", similar to lime, formed an ellipse on the ground: it disappeared as soon as the sun appeared. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/J.L.

At around 2:30 a.m. Bernard suddenly felt uneasy, and saw four luminous "forms". He called Patrick, who also saw them. Both men felt they were being observed. Afraid, they woke the rest of their friends. Suddenly all six of them saw a huge light and then a red cloud that ascended into the sky and transformed into a black, compact cigar-shaped object. The being-like forms were described as about 1.75 m in height, each with two eyes in the upper part. The forms were white in color, and they moved very slowly, like on rollers. As the witnesses walked away they looked back, and saw two of the forms in a tree. At this point the witnesses attempted to approach the beings, but were prevented by an "invisible" barrier. After the gray compact cigar-shaped object left, the grass at the site was found to be desiccated, and matted down in a spiral fashion. A white, oval-shaped stain resembling chalk was also found, but disappeared with the morning daylight. During the incident the witnesses noticed there was an unusual silence in the area, but dogs were heard barking in the distance. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lumieres dans la Nuit, May 1977; David F.

Police stations in the area of Albany, New York, receive numerous calls about UFO sightings. State Trooper Michael Morgan is dispatched to the scene of one of the sightings, where a police detective is observing a blimp-sized object hovering at 500 feet over Lake Saratoga. As the reddish, glowing UFO flashes on and off, two smaller objects approach and merge with it. Air traffic controllers at Albany Airport locate the object on a radar scanner. After a few minutes, the two smaller objects break away and leave in the direction from which they had come. The first object moves toward the two policemen who see a brilliant white light shining from the center of its base as it passes over them. Silently, the craft turns and moves away slowly. Suddenly, the UFO disappears. After tracking the target for 45 minutes, the radar operators lose contact with it. However, within a short time, they receive a call from the pilot of a military airplane who warns them that he has just seen a red fireball 1,000 feet above him headed toward the airport. The controllers locate the object just as it enters the 50- mile range of one of their radarscopes. The anti-clutter device is thrown to ascertain whether or not the blip is a radar angel, but the image still comes through clearly. The controllers estimate its speed to be 3,000 mph. About five miles outside Albany, the target vanishes. The controllers speculate that it has either accelerated to a speed of 5,000 mph or has executed a seemingly impossible vertical maneuver at high speed. During the same time as the Albany sightings, large discs and bright lights are seen at low altitude less than 50 miles north over the South Glens Falls area and as far north as Lake George. The case is investigated by [Ernest Jahn](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/137696266/ernest-thomas-jahn), who contacts the Smithsonian Institution in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They are unable to give any explanation for the sightings. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Margaret Sachs, UFO Encyclopedia, Putnam, 1980, [pp. 10–11](https://archive.org/details/ufoencyclopedia00marg/page/9/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5197 ### Event 37520 (D51EA9D7) **Date:** 8/21/1975 **Location:** Kimball, Nebraska **Description:** Law enforcement in Western Nebraska pursued a low-flying helicopter for around five hours, suspecting its involvement in recent cattle mutilations in Colorado. The helicopter, detected by Air Force radar in Cheyenne, Wyo, was flying between 100 to 150 feet above the ground, possibly trying to evade radar or find a landing spot. It briefly hovered over a Strategic Air Command missile site near Bushnell before fleeing. Though authorities came within half a mile of the helicopter and observed it, they couldn't discern any identifying marks. The chase ended when the helicopter headed towards the Colorado border and vanished. Investigations are ongoing. **Type:** mystery helicopter **Reference:** [newspapers.com](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-alliance-times-herald-mystery-helico/130400298/) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_957 ### Event 37521 (F2B3F66E) **Date:** 8/21/1975 **Time:** 22:00 **Location:** LOGAN CO, CO **Description:** Cops chase unidentified helicopter.

This was immediately met with general hilarity. (...) Then they all decided to go out onto the sidewalk, near the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nabucet. They just had time to join the previous witnesses when suddenly an "object in the shape of an overturned ashtray" appeared above the "Gouffès" wood. This object was hovering at the height of the roof of a nearby house: it was moving quite slowly and then suddenly stopped a little further away. That's when the witnesses saw a "beam of light coming from the craft, like a flashlight" but much more powerful, of a raw, very bright white color. (...) the observers agree to describe this beam as cut off at its end. (...) The phenomenon lasted a few moments without a sound and nothing could be seen except for some bright points. And suddenly, as if the light source was cut off, everything went out! (Jean François BOEDEC: "Les OVNI en BRETAGNE, Anatomie d'un Phénomène, ed. Fernand Lanore p. 67) At 8:55 pm, about ten people saw an object in the shape of an overturned ashtray above the Gouiffès wood. The object emitted a beam of light that seemed to be looking for something. **Reference:** Philippe SCHNEYDER: "Ovni, premier bilan" - ed. du Rocher 1983, p. 85 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2868 ### Event 37525 (3D9077CB) **Date:** 8/22/1975 **Time:** 19:00 **Location:** VITRY-EN-ARTOIS, FR **Description:** 2 boys.

A short distance further they saw a light in a field a few hundred meters from the road. They stopped to look, and they could see an ovoid object on the ground, lit from within by a yellowish white light. It was approximately 3-4 meters long, and to its right were two human forms about two meters tall that stood side by side. The figures were completely illuminated by the light from the object, so none of their features could be made out. The figures began walking very quickly toward the young men. Frightened, they took off on the motorbike and continued their journey. Several kilometers further on they saw the object ascend into the sky at an angle. Perhaps because of their astonishment and fear, they were unable to locate the exact site of their experience when they went back with investigators later. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Sandra Larson, age 32, and her daughter Jackie, age 15, were being driven from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota by Jackie's boyfriend when they heard a loud rumbling, thunder-like noise and saw eight glowing orange spheres descend from the sky. The objects stopped in mid-air, and three of the objects shot back upwards. This being had a luminosity around its head and shoulders, and it had long metallic-appearing arms.

About 50 yards away on their left, they watch 8–10 orange, glowing objects heading south to east. One is distinctly larger than the others. The lights descend in a straight line at a 30° angle until they stop over a grove of trees. Suddenly one of the objects splits in half and others shoot away. At this point, the witnesses feel peculiar sensations of being unable to move. Jackie finds herself sitting in the back seat \(she had been in the front seat with the others\) and the lights are gone. The witnesses drive on to Tower City, North Dakota, where Sandy notes the time is 5:23 a.m., an hour later than it should have been. Through a mutual friend, Sandy eventually contacts ufologist [Jerome Clark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome%5FClark), who puts her in touch with psychologist [R. Leo Sprinkle](http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2021/11/leo-sprinkle-has-died.html), who has used hypnotic regression in abduction cases. Sprinkle conducts three hypnotic sessions with Sandy and Jackie Larson on December 4–6. Sandy remembers a 6-foot-tall entity that looks like a mummy, various medical procedures, and a journey to a place with sand. She has further regressions with Sprinkle in January and February 1976, and she describes an otherworldly journey with three beings on a UFO. Clark writes: “What makes the Larson story interesting, in retrospect, however, is its anticipation of many abduction motifs which, though barely noted or entirely unknown in 1975, had become repeatedly demonstrated aspects of the experience by the late 1980s. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 675–678; Lorenzen, Abducted!

It flew at only 25 meters altitude at a speed of 200 kph, and made sudden stops. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 11389, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 316 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5371 ### Event 37546 (65DA9F44) **Date:** 8/26/1975 **Description:** near Buffalo, North Dakota - Sandra Larson, age 32, and her daughter Jackie, age 15, were being driven from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota by Jackie's boyfriend when they heard a loud rumbling, thunder-like noise around 4:00 a.m. and saw eight glowing orange spheres descend from the sky. The objects stopped in mid-air, and three of the objects shot back upwards. Sandy had a peculiar feeling as though the car was motionless, and at the same time Jackie suddenly found herself in the back seat with no memory of how she got there. When they got to a gas station they discovered that an hour of time was unaccounted for. Later, under hypnosis, Sandra recalled having been "floated" from the car into a UFO, where a six-foot tall being (1.8 m) with a mummy-like head bandaged up in tape, with the eyes remaining visible, had performed some sort of surgical operation on her on a medical table. She had the sensation that even her brain had been briefly removed. This being had a luminosity around its head and shoulders, and it had long metallic-appearing, mechanical arms. Its body was like "brown vinyl." No communication with the being was recalled. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jerome Clark, Saga UFO Report, August 1976, p. 21; Skylook, March 1976, p. 10; David F.

The dome was 20 feet in diameter and only 35 feet away. A fluorescent blue light came from inside it. He walked away, but then heard a humming noise and looked back to see that the "tent" was encircled by multicolored rings. It began to rise and fall, and luminous portholes were now visible on the craft. A car stopped and Mr. Elfe, a friend, came through the woods calling for him. He also saw the UFO. The people near the object were described as resembling small "puppets," and were surrounded by something gauzy. There was an almond smell in the air that made Mr. Costa sick. His friend helped him back to his car. The next day he returned to the spot and found a circle of approximately 20 6-inch holes. There were also some pieces of a white woven material, "like spider web, but very strong." The witness recovered some and took it home. He also took home some of the trampled pine needles, which still had the almond-like scent. When he put these in a cardboard box next to some potted plants, the plants died three days later. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Suddenly I saw a strange craft hovering vertically above this house and about 50 m in altitude. This craft was coming in my direction. It had the shape of a shell, its color was very light green, when it passed in front of me the craft dazzled me as if looking directly at the sun. On its passage it left a trail that could be a kind of condensation and not smoke. It emitted absolutely no sound, its passage probably lasted only half a second. Its speed seemed slightly higher than the majority of meteors that can be commonly observed in space \(...\). It seemed to me that the cylindrical craft at the back measured 2 m in diameter and about 3 m in length. It apparently had no windows or other visible openings. There were also no fins or other superstructure on this craft. The back was flat and light green in color as well as the entire body in the shape of a shell. (August 29, 6:25 AM) **Reference:** J.-C.

He is flying at 3,500 feet and is already on the landing approach to Jerez, when he receives a call from the Seville air traffic center asking him if he can see any aircraft over Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz, where they have a radar target. The crew is seeing a “round light, brilliant red in color and with yellowish edges” in the area, so they are ordered to get closer. When they are 4–5 miles from Sanlúcar, the red ball ascends vertically from 1,000 feet to some 10,000–20,000 feet. Numerous residents of Sanlúcar also see the object from cafes.

During this exchange he was given a number of apocalyptic prophecies, and was then handed a cube-like device (or crystal) with instructions that if anyone should demand it, he should surrender it immediately.

After watching television for a while she went to sleep in a room at the front of the house. Suddenly, she woke up and found two beings standing near her. They were wearing silver suits and had small slits for eyes, nose and mouth. Their suit covered their whole body as if it had been painted and molded rubber. The surface was smooth and without wrinkles. She felt very calm when she saw them. They seemed to communicate telepathically, asking her to "come with them". (...) One of the two lifted Mrs. Victor by the elbows. Together they went to the front door. Mrs. Victor felt like she was flying. She clearly saw the flat roof, the garage. She saw the stars above her and a UFO hovering. It was identical to the one she had seen in Gilroy. They floated inside, passing through the heart of the object through its material and followed a ramp that went up at least three levels. One of the beings stayed with her, leading her into a circular room with an emerald floor, illuminated by a milky white light. The walls were silver, smooth, with large round instruments. She had a feeling of immense beauty. To her left was a door. Suddenly something traumatic happened. She was blinded by a white light, remembers nothing else and prefers not to know the end of the story. She woke up in her bed and realized it was day.

The girl's mother also saw the object, which had "four large landing gear like arms coming out of it." On this night Mrs. Victor (a doctor by profession), woke up to find two beings in silvery suits standing near her in her bedroom. They had small slits for eyes, the nose and the mouth. She felt very calm. They asked her telepathically to go with them, and she found herself floating up into a hovering UFO. As she floated up she clearly saw the roof of the house and the stars. Inside, she had a sensation of intense beauty, with emerald colored floors. The walls were silvery, smooth, and with large round instruments. She was then blinded by a white light, and the next thing she remembers she woke up in bed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Suddenly, a very tall gray figure with bits of white hair appeared in front of the car. It had luminous oblong shaped eyes and what appeared to be white whiskers. The humanoid figure seemed to be in total "control" and had a "majestic" air to him. It also had a long tail that narrowed towards the end. The driver swerved to avoid hitting the creature, and temporarily ran off the road, so they did not see the humanoid depart. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** CUFOS case files, report dated May 6, 1976 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6045 ### Event 37630 (E31763C7) **Date:** 9/19/1975 **Time:** 22:30 **Location:** LES MUREAUX, FR **Description:** 22M red-orange cylinder/cigar-shape zigzags going east up River Seine / 5M altitude.

Two soldiers of a Chinese People’s Liberation Army unit stationed in Jianshui County, Yunnan, China, encounter a huge saucer-shaped object circling above their heads and emitting beams of soft orange-colored light. One of the men runs into the camp to sound an alarm, while the other stays to watch it. A few minutes later, the camp commandant and about a dozen armed men run up to the barracks entrance and find no trace of the soldier who had stayed behind. The commandant orders all officers and enlisted men to search, but they do not find him. A few hours later, four soldiers taking over sentry duty suddenly hear the sound of someone moaning behind them. They see the missing man, who has reappeared. His eyebrows, beard, and hair have grown extremely long. When he fully regains consciousness, his memory is completely gone. His wristwatch shows that it had stopped long ago. His weapons and watch are found to be slightly magnetized. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Paul Dong, “[Extracts from Paul Dong’s](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201984%20V%2029%20N%206.pdf) [Feidie Bai Wen Bai Da](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201984%20V%2029%20N%206.pdf) [\(Questions and Answers on UFOs\),](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201984%20V%2029%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 29, no. 6 \(August 1984\): 17; Clark III 653 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5205 ### Event 37651 (313C2824) **Date:** Fall 1975 **Locations:** Toppenish, Washington; Ahtanum, Washington **Description:** 4:00 a.m. A couple driving east toward Toppenish, Washington, see a bright white light that appears overhead and slightly ahead of them.

The flood-lit area suddenly goes out and the light speeds up in the sky and disappears.

One night, the rancher's daughter was in the house alone. She saw a helicopter fly over a field about 100 yards away. It flew down below a building on the property, then flew to within 100 feet of the house. The sound seemed "muffled". The rancher was convinced that at least one of his mutilated cows had been dropped (into a pool of water) from above. **Type:** mystery helicopter/mutilation related **Reference:** Ref. 140 [The Choppers - and the Choppers, Mystery Helicopters and Animal Mutilations, Thomas R.

Recent mutilations have appeared across several Colorado counties, with 58 cattle reported dead and mutilated, often found with vital organs missing and no blood traces. Wild theories have suggested devil worshipers or even extraterrestrials might be involved, though no evidence supports these claims. This phenomenon isn't limited to Colorado; states like Texas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Arkansas have reported similar cases. Concurrently, there have been numerous reports of unidentified and often silent helicopters, leading some to speculate a connection between the two mysteries. Authorities and organizations, including the FBI and the Cattle Raisers Association, have tried to curb the mutilations and investigate the helicopters to no avail. Amidst the rising panic, the Army has even advised helicopter pilots to maintain altitudes above 1,000 feet to avoid being shot at by alarmed ranchers. These events mirror a similar wave of cattle mutilations and mysterious helicopters in 1973. **Type:** mystery helicopter, cattle mutilations **Reference:** [newspapers.com](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-daily-news-mystery-helicopters/130401246/) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_958 ### Event 37656 (B331031E) **Date:** 9/25/1975 **Description:** A member of the U.S. Air Force, at home on leave in Mountlake Terrace, Washington was awakened by barking dogs at 5:50 a.m. He saw a bright red sphere about a foot in diameter hovering 12 inches off the ground in front of his parked car. Beside it stood a man about 6' 5" tall. The witness next heard a high-pitched, beeping sound that made him feel as if he were going to faint. He awakened his wife and the beeping sound immediately stopped. When they looked again the sphere and the figure were both gone. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Coming from different directions, about ten witnesses converged towards the field in their cars. The motorists were about 500 m away when the engines of their vehicles stalled, their headlights went out and their car radios suddenly went silent. The witnesses approached on foot, amazed and a bit worried at the sight of this mysterious hovering craft, about twenty meters above the ground and whose countless portholes emitted, they report, a not very dazzling light. An officer of the reserve, witness like the others, saw a kind of cone detach itself from the central dome of the UFO, take altitude, pirouette like a top, then land again on the base hull which disappeared into the night sky in five seconds, leaving behind a kind of fluorescent cloud which did not dissipate until after about ten minutes. No trace: no footprint or trace of combustion. **Reference:** "Historia" special issue no. 46 of 1976: Flying Saucers, p. 58 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2872 ### Event 37661 (1C37AD2C) **Date:** 9/26/1975 **Time:** 12:20 **Location:** LOS ANGELES, CA **Description:** 20 observer(s).

The multiple projections occurred at intervals of about every 20 seconds. The brightness and luminosity were quite bearable."

Hikawa didn't see them. Among the figures Furuya saw were some resembling girls, about one meter tall, dressed in white. Pointing them out to his companion, Hikawa still was unable to see them, and turned on the car's headlights. When this happened the figures faded away, but their car was abruptly pulled backwards several times by an unseen force, eventhough the hand brake was on. Frightened, the two teenagers left the area. Hikawa suggested that the figures may have been "spacemen", and the pair returned to the scene later, where the same mass displacement effects occurred to the car again. Again fearful, the pair drove home. The car subsequently malfunctioned and required repairs, the result of a broken piston. Peculiar "hoof like" marks were observed on a window in the car following the encounter. There were no reports of UFOs seen. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Unsettled by this unusual phenomenon he made a mental effort of resistance and after a certain time the vision faded.

Suffern's sister called him to say that her barn seemed to be on fire. Robert went out and saw nothing. Shortly after, taking the car to check on the livestock which seemed to be restless, he saw in the middle of the road an object of a matte aluminum surface, with an irregular and wavy texture, without any lights. Its height was around 2.50m, its width between 3.60m and 3.80m, in the shape of a saucer, resting very close to the ground. He accelerated and the object took off.

To return home he took the road along the lake, when he saw the creature: it pivoted and without any effort jumped the fence and disappeared into the meadow. It was stocky, broad-shouldered, moving like a monkey or a dwarf, full of agility. Its head was covered with a helmet, its costume was of a single piece of silver-colored material, but the helmet was whiter. Back home, suddenly the sound of the television disappeared and the screen went black. He went out and saw behind the barn an orange fluorescent light that followed the contours of the terrain to head towards the lake. (Flying Saucer Review, vol 22 n° 1 1976, p 18-19) (...) there was a kind of black ribbon that was spinning around the vehicle and a small platform at the lower part. The object was parked on the road that leads to the lake. He only saw the object on the ground for a few seconds, as it rose vertically, without noise, smoke or steam. Mr. Suffern turned around in his car to return home. When he arrived at the top of the hill, he had to brake abruptly to avoid colliding with "some kind of creature" that was not taller than the height of the car's bumpers. It had two arms and two legs and it was wearing a costume of light metal, deflated. It had a helmet on its head, a bit lighter than the color of the costume. The creature turned around, took two or three steps, and jumped a fence. It disappeared from his sight. When he returned home, he could just barely see the saucer hovering near his house, before it left beyond the lake. The witness was badly shaken by this experience. **Reference:** NUFORC, "Looking Back" by Bob Gribble **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2875 ### Event 37712 (F4E49642) **Date:** 10/7/1975 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) [Eric Gairy](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/GairyEric.html) speaks at the 30th session of the [UN](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/UN.html) General Assembly.

When he turns around and starts heading to his own home, a small figure wearing a helmet and silver-gray walks in an “ape-like fashion” in front of his car, causing him to hit the brakes. It runs into a field. Suffern gets out and puts his hands on a post and he seemingly becomes weightless, making it easy to jump over the fence. Later that night he sees an “orange fluorescent light” in the pasture of his property. Moments later, he receives two phone calls telling him not to interfere. On October 12 at 3:00 a.m. Suffern receives a phone call from a “Lt. Colin Hunter” from the White House and leaves a number to call him back. He calls the number later and talks to a military officer claiming to be Lt. Col. Waters. A month later, he and his wife are given a thorough examination by Canadian military doctors. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1975-10-07-threemilelake-canada.htm), September 13, 2006; “[The Robert Suffern](https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread504922/pg1) [UFO Encounter,](https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread504922/pg1)” Above Top Secret forum, September 26, 2009; John Greenewald, “[Suffern Three Mile Lake](https://www.theblackvault.com/casefiles/suffern-three-mile-lake-incident-ufo-lands-road-white-house-reportedly-calls/) [Incident: UFO Lands on Road, White House Reportedly Calls,](https://www.theblackvault.com/casefiles/suffern-three-mile-lake-incident-ufo-lands-road-white-house-reportedly-calls/)” The Black Vault, July 6, 2017; Clark III 358 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5208 ### Event 37715 (D0C084D1) **Date:** 10/7/1975 **Description:** Robert Suffern of Three Mile Lake reported that a UFO landed about 13 miles northwest of Bracebridge, Ontario on this night, and he almost ran over one of its occupants with his car. Mr. Suffern said the craft was about 12-14 feet across, nine feet high, and circular in shape. "There was a black strip running around the circumference, and what looked to be a small platform at the bottom of the vehicle." Mr. Suffern said he found the craft while driving around to investigate "a glow in the sky" seen by his sister, and who telephoned him to say she thought his barn might be on fire. The UFO was parked on a road that led to the lake. A few seconds after he saw it, the ship lifted straight up from the road in front of his car. "There was no dust raised, no apparent thrust, nothing," he said. "It went straight up and over the trees."

Mr. Suffern turned his car around and headed home. However, when he reached the top of the hill, he had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting "some sort of creature." The being was the height of the car fender. It was humanoid in appearance and wore a globe-shaped helmet, and walked like a midget. The helmet was slightly lighter in color and the "spacesuit" was like tin foil that had been crushed and flattened out. The creature turned, took three or four steps, vaulted over a fence, and disappeared. Suffern raced back to his house and arrived in time to see the object hover near his home before crossing the lake. He was badly shaken by the incident. "It's all right to think what you would do…but when it actually happens, you are scared because you are dealing with the unknown." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bob Gribble, "Looking Back October 1975", National UFO Reporting Center website **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6634 ### Event 37716 (AB53C4D1) **Date:** 10/7/1975 **Location:** El Paso County, COLORADO **Description:** A UH-1 "Huey" helicopter crashed in a remote area of the Fort Carson Military Reservation, killing 5 men and injuring five.

However, Lt. Col. S.K.

Near Newcastle, on the early morning of Friday, October 3rd, around 3:00 AM, Raymond "Spud" Jones was awakened by a "high-pitched whine, like a jet turbine starting". Neighbors heard it, too. Other neighbors reported to Jones later that day that they had noticed a cow of his lying in a pasture. On Monday, Oct.6th, Jones found the carcass, which had been mutilated. He notified Sheriff Willis Larson. Then, on the night of Tuesday, October 7th, Larson had just returned from delivering specimens from the cow to a crime lab in Cheyenne when, at 8:45 PM, a woman called to report an object that looked like and sounded like a helicopter was hovering over a ridge NE of Newcastle. The sheriff knew the local airport mgr., John Bockman, had a helicopter. But a phone call to Bockman was answered by him; he said he would go out to look for the craft. Larson drove to the top of an adjacent ridge. He told the Univ. of Wyoming BRANDING IRON (10-14-75): "I reached the top of the ridge and saw an object to the west, near Highway 85 North," the sheriff said. "It was an orange, wedge-shaped object, resembling a helicopter in appearance. The tapered end had a bright red light. I was confused and looked at it through the binoculars," he said. "It was making sudden, jerky 'Z' movements, very fast, I thought. I called my wife and asked her to call Bockman to look at it." Bockman was already looking at the object, however. He reported it in the same position as the sheriff. The object descended and Larson lost sight of it. Bockman continued to observe it and saw it go down and its lights go out. "I called for a special deputy to take my position and dispatched another deputy to the south so we could bracket the object in a triangle," said the sheriff. "I then went to the airport. The mail plane was landing at the airport just as I arrived. Bockman pointed the object out to me. Thirty seconds later it went up and disappeared, just like shutting out a light. Later, as we were returning to town, a sudden bright flash lit the sky, like a flashbulb." An hour and a half later, the same lady called and reported the object in the same location. "I went out to check on it again, and the sky was split by five sudden flashes, in very quick succession, centered in the northeast," said the sheriff. Later, a glowing light would appear in the eastern sky, and would be viewed by many residents. Lights rising over trees were reported by campers, brilliant flashes were reported by a motorist, and home owners saw strange lights. Obviously, something strange was happening in the sky around Newcastle on the night of October 7.

E. Dison, age 43, and her daughter were driving home at one o'clock in the morning in Cahaba Heights, Alabama when they saw on the dark side of the road two 8 foot tall beings wearing wearing silvery boots and tight fitting clothing of a dull silver color, and helmets. The front of helmets were luminous or light reflecting. The one nearest them had an arm up, pointing at the sky. The second was looking up at the sky. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ed Planz, CUFOS files, report dated September 1976 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7153 ### Event 37791 (60E6CCCD) **Date:** 10/26/1975 **Description:** In Happy Camp, Siskiyou County, California just after midnight Steve Harris, San Gayer, and Carl Jackson returned to the spot of their "creature" sighting earlier that evening, accompanied by Helen White and Rick Pool. They shone spotlights around, but saw nothing. Then Steve fired his rifle several times. Immediately they heard a loud "wow-wow-wow" sound, and turned around to see in their spotlights the dark, non-reflecting forms about 5 feet tall. They were vaguely human shaped, with a glow around the edges, and about 30-35 ft away. These forms were moving about slowly, but staying at the same distance. They seemed to absorb the light from the flashlights without reflecting it, but occasionally an entire shape would start glowing slightly. No details could be made out. After several seconds, during which Helen failed to use her Polaroid camera, Helen and then the others began to feel a choking sensation, "as if the oxygen was being depleted from the air." After another three or four minutes of this, all five of them piled into their Ford Bronco and drove away. Looking back, they saw a glowing orange disc-shaped object rise up from near where they had been. It was about 40 feet in diameter, and it followed them at a distance of 150 feet and right above the treetops, until they reached the highway. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Retired Sgt. Stephen B. Eichner was on duty when a strange object hovered over the Loring ammunition dump. Eichner told how he and fellow airmen had seen a football-shaped reddish orange object, three or four car-lengths long, hovering over the Loring ammunition dump. He said the object suddenly vanished, then reappeared some distance away at the end of a runway. Numerous other visual and radar sightings were made at Loring. Air Force planes were scrambled in a luckless attempt to track down the object. Eichner said it made no noise and could not be mistaken for a helicopter. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1981/11/03/suit-seeks-to-lift-secrecy-veil-from-agencys-ufo-documents/c6ab8756-7268-4a3a-a657-316a5bcc4e80/) **Reference:** [Debrief](https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/35674/the-bizarre-mystery-of-unexplained-aerial-incursions-over-loring-air-force-base) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_682 ### Event 37793 (A3F7C1B4) **Date:** 10/27/1975 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) A buzzing UFO, emitting a white stroboscopic light and orange and reddish lights, approaches within 300 m of a nuclear weapons warehouse of the Loring Air Force Base \(Maine\).

Briefly puzzled, they decide to go for a drive to nearby Thompson Lake. A short distance down the road, their vehicle abruptly turns onto a back road leading into Oxford, Maine. Gray no longer has control of the steering. Two minutes later, they pass through Oxford, a trip that normally takes 10 minutes, and down the eastern side of Thompson Lake. A mile south of Oxford, they see a herd of cows resting on the ground and shaking their heads from side to side. A few seconds later, they see two white lights on their left in a cornfield. The lights suddenly rise into the air. Gray stops the car, rolls down the windows and listen for the sounds of an engine, but the lights are soundless. Now they have a good view of a huge, cylinder-shaped object 20–30 feet away. Around its body are green, blue, and yellow lights that suddenly go out when the object ascends above a row of trees. Gray starts the car and roars down the road, followed by the UFO. The next thing they know, they are a mile farther down the road, the car stopped. Their eyes feel like they are on fire and appear orange. The UFO is visible in the eastern sky. They drive into West Poland, Maine, turn around, and go back the way they came. After a few minutes the UFO disappears, and they decide to go south again. For no reason, Gray turns onto a gravel road leading to Tripp Pond, where the engine stalls and the radio goes out. They can see the cylinder-shaped UFO in the sky about 500 feet away, which moves farther away as soon as they notice it. Some 45 minutes later, two disc-shaped objects with colored lights appear, and a thick fog rises out of Tripp Pond, engulfing the car. The radio abruptly turns on, and as they drive further, they receive a mental impression indicating that “We’re not done with you yet. We are coming back for you.” It is now 6:30 a.m. At 7:00 a.m., they arrive at Stephens’s parents’ house in Oxford, suffering from burning eyes, sore throats, and aching teeth. They are not speaking coherently. Gray has some hallucinations later in the day while watching TV. Maine ufologists [Shirley Fickett](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/86027173/shirley-c%5F-fickett) and [Brent Raynes](https://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/raynes-brent-6818/) soon hear about the case and meet with the two on the evening of October 28. Many unusual events take place that night and the next day, so Fickett contacts hypnotist [Herbert Hopkins](http://realmib.tripod.com/hopkins.html)[,](http://realmib.tripod.com/hopkins.html) 58, in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. He conducts eight hypnosis sessions between December 1975 and March 1976. Gray becomes upset early in the investigation, so only Stephens’s testimony is complete. It indicates an abduction scenario similar to other cases. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Brent M.

[Danny K. Lewis](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/57611703/danny-kay-lewis) is patrolling the weapons dump at Loring AFB \[now Loring International Airport\] near Limestone, Maine, when he sees an unidentified aircraft approaching the north perimeter at an altitude of about 300 feet. It has a red navigation light and a white strobe light. The craft enters the perimeter of the base. In the control tower, S/Sgt. [James P. Sampley](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/208914490/james-paul-sampley) of the 2192nd Communications Squadron is on radar duty and gets a return from an unknown target 10–13 miles east-northeast of Loring. Sampley makes numerous attempts by radio on all available communications bands, civilian and military, to contact the craft, but he gets no response. The unidentified craft circles and comes within 300 yards of the restricted nuclear storage area at a low altitude of 150 feet. Back at the weapons dump, Lewis notifies his Command Post at the 42 Bomb Wing that an unknown aircraft has penetrated the base perimeter. The base is immediately put on major alert status, a Security Option 3, and Security contacts the tower. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** ClearIntent, [pp. 16–26](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/16/mode/2up); Nukes 361–363, 369–371 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5215 ### Event 37804 (69290136) **Date:** 10/27/1975 **Locations:** Loring AFB; Limestone, Maine; Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, Syracuse, New York; North Bay, Ontario; Grand Falls, New Brunswick **Description:** 8:45 p.m. Sgt. Grover K. Eggleston of the 2192nd Communications Squadron is on duty at the Loring AFB \[now Loring International Airport\] tower near Limestone, Maine, when the call from the Command Post comes in. He observes the unknown target. Six minutes later, Eggleston notes that the target appears to be circling approximately 10 miles east-northeast of the base. This action lasts for 40 minutes when, suddenly, it disappears from the screen. Either the object has landed or it has dropped below the radar coverage. The Wing Commander arrives at the weapons storage area 7 minutes after the initial sighting. Immediately other units of the 42nd Police begin pouring into the area. Security vehicles with blue flashing lights are converging from all over the base. Through the Loring Command Post, the Wing Commander requests fighter coverage from the 21st NORAD Region at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, Syracuse, New York, and the 22nd NORAD Region at North Bay, Ontario. However, fighter support is denied by both regions. The Wing Commander then increases local security posture and requests assistance from the Maine State Police in trying to identify the unknown craft, which they presume is a helicopter. They make a call to local flight services for possible identification, without results. The 42nd Security Police conduct a sweep of the weapons storage perimeter inside and out. An additional sweep is made of the areas that the craft has flown over. All actions produce no results. The craft breaks the circling pattern and begins flying toward Grand Falls, New Brunswick. Radar contact is lost in the vicinity of Grand Falls, 12 miles from Loring. Canadian authorities are not notified. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[UFO Circles Weapons](http://www.nicap.org/751027loring%5Fdir.htm) [Storage Area](http://www.nicap.org/751027loring%5Fdir.htm)”; ClearIntent, [pp. 16–26](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/16/mode/2up); Nukes 361–363, 369–371 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5216 ### Event 37805 (9848FB9D) **Date:** 10/27/1975 **Description:** David Stephens and Glen Gray were driving at around 2:30 a.m. on a rural highway between Norway and West Poland, Maine when David discovered that the car was no longer responding to the steering wheel. It turned of its own accord onto a back road full of potholes, but they felt no bumps, which suggested the car was being levitated. They came to a cornfield where two lights were visible four feet from the ground. As these lights rose silently to treetop level, they realized that they were coming from a very large, gray cylindrical object, "as big as a football field." They were then enveloped in a blinding light, leaving them both unconscious. They regained consciousness only when the car had reached West Poland. They turned back, and the car automatically turned onto a road leading to Tripp Pond (also called Thompson Lake). The UFO was there, waiting for them, about 150 feet up. Another UFO only one-quarter as big, soon joined by a second, maneuvered over the pond, showing red, green, and blue lights. A smoke or fog then rose from the pond and concealed these two objects, so they could then see only the larger object, which showed a long window and three bright lights. Finally it rose vertically, together with the smoke. They drove to David's parents trailer, by which time both were feeling sick, with chills, swollen hands and feet, and orange whites of the eyes. They lacked balance and coordination, and felt lightheaded. Stephens experienced intense thirst, and both men slept very deeply. Hallucinations and poltergeist-like activity troubled them for the next few days.

Later under hypnosis, Stephens recalled that when they had encountered the bright light he had somehow been taken from the car into a round, metallic looking room with a small round window, from which he could see the car below. A Grey being 4.5 feet tall, wearing a long black robe that seemed to be made of paper, entered the room. It had a bald, mushroom-shaped white head and slanting "white" eyes, a small flat nose, and no mouth. The hands had a thumb and only three long fingers. By telepathy, this entity told Stephens not to be afraid. He was taken into a brightly lit adjoining room where there were four other beings. Here he was told to undress and lie on a table. Blood samples were taken, and a square machine with dials scanned his body. The Grey humanoids also took a button from his clothes. Finally, he put on his clothes, and was somehow transported back to his car. The beings told him they would see him again. The two men had experienced three hours of missing time. Both were ill for three days, and had a number of paranomal experiences, including a stocky Man in Black (MIB) who visited Stephens and told him not to talk about what had happened to them. Even when hypnotized he resisted revealing when the beings told him they would return. Their physiological effects included chills, swollen feet and ankles, eye discoloration, difficulty swallowing, and sore teeth. The Stephens family subsequently observed UFOs on numerous occasions. Investigation began the next day, and hypnosis sessions followed between December 1975 to March 1976. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Shirley Fickett, FSR, July 1976, p. 14; Brent M.

They shone spotlights around, but saw nothing. Then Steve fired his rifle several times. Immediately they heard a loud "wow-wow-wow" sound, and turned around to see in the spotlights three dark, non-reflecting forms about five feet high, vaguely human in shape, with a glow around the edges, 30-35 feet away. These forms were moving about slowly, but staying at the same distance. They seemed to absorb the light without reflecting it, but occasionally the whole shape would glow slightly. No further details could be made out. After some seconds, during which Helen failed to use her Polaroid camera, Helen and then the others began to feel a choking sensation, "as if the oxygen was being depleted from the air." After 3 or 4 minutes of this, all five of them piled into their Ford Bronco and drove off. Looking back, they saw a glowing orange, disc-shaped object rise up from close to where they had been. It looked to be about 40 feet in diameter, and it followed them at a distance of 150 feet just above the trees until they reached the highway. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact, p. 165; David F.

Frederick Pappas and 5 crew members. The tanker at 2,700 feet has visual and skin paint over Lake Huron for about 20 miles heading southeast. The light hovers and moves up and down in an erratic manner. The tanker follows the object for 1–2 hours, but never get close enough to see anything other than a single, steady orange light. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[UFO Chased by KC-135 Tanker](http://www.nicap.org/751029wurtsmith%5Fdir.htm)”; Nukes 371– 372; Skinwalkers 124 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5219 ### Event 37844 (E26FC82C) **Date:** 10/30/1975 **Description:** At about 10:10 p.m. a KC-135 U.S. Air Force tanker returning from a refueling mission, flying at a speed of 200 knots, and an altitude of 2000 feet, sighted at least two nocturnal lights and mystery 'choppers' around and over the Wurtsmith AFB in Oscoda, Michigan, a Strategic Air Command base. The objects breached security areas, and hovered over the nuclear weapons site. Base personnel thought they saw the running lights of a low flying craft they thought was a helicopter, except that it hovered and moved up-and-down erratically near the base perimeter. One white light was pointed downward, and two red lights were visible near the trailing edge. Airman Michael J. Myers, an air policeman on duty near the main gate, saw several unidentified lights near the western edge of the base. The object turned north and appeared to lose altitude. Between 10:15 and 10:25 p.m. base security police at the back gate of Wurtsmith reported to the command post that an unidentified "helicopter" with no lights had come over the back gate and hovered at a low altitude over the weapons storage area. Radar was also tracking low-flying objects intruding into the base, and the incoming KC-135 confirmed seeing two UFOs that sped away each time it attempted to close for identification. The UFOs flew away at 1,200 mph. One shot away to the west, the other went north. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard H.

Residents have reported sightings of what appeared to be a dirigible-shaped craft, and subsequent inquiries with Goodyear and Ft. Indiantown Gap officials confirmed that neither had airships in the area at that time. John Adams and his two companions reported seeing a UFO with "rods" or "projections" extending from its underside, which was luminous white in color and appeared to bounce in its flight path. Another resident from North Lebanon Township reported seeing two unmarked helicopters hovering over a cornfield, initially believing they were state police helicopters possibly searching for escaped convicts. Another couple from the same area reported a small glowing object flying in a zig-zag pattern across the field. These sightings raise questions about what might be occurring in Lebanon County. **Type:** ufo sightings, mystery helicopter **Reference:** [newspapers.com - part 1](https://www.newspapers.com/article/lebanon-daily-news-further-ufo-sightings/130402916/) **Reference:** [newspapers.com - part 2](https://www.newspapers.com/article/lebanon-daily-news-further-sightings-of/130402940/) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_960 ### Event 37847 (FA0AB633) **Date:** 10/31/1975 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) As the day before, UFOs fly in formation above a weapons warehouse of the [USAF](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/USAF.html) base in Wirtsmith \(Michigan\).

Witnesses in Medford, Minnesota, including Helen Kay, see a brilliant orange-red light go behind a building, where they suspect it has landed. At the location, they find a bare spot, 12 feet square, of burned grass and ashy residue. At some distance away they see a red ball of light above the trees and try to catch up with it by car but it eludes them. Soil samples from the alleged landing site are submitted to geologist [Edward J. Zeller](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/188639525/edward-jacob-zeller) at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, who subjects them to an examination using thermoluminescence and finds the readouts normal for the center of the trace but severely elevated at the edges. He suspects that the edges have been subjected to hard ionizing radiation, but this is not conclusive. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UFO Sighting Noted,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/12654935/medford-mn-ufo-landing/)” Fergus Falls \(Minn.\) Daily Journal, November 5, 1975, p. 22; Edward J.

The next thing he recalls, he found himself standing beside a domed object, with steps leading up to a door. He climbed the steps and was invited in. The interior was a single round compartment, 24 feet in diameter and 8 feet high, with a small control panel. There were eight crewmembers inside, but only one spoke to him. This man was five feet tall, stocky and of dark complexion, and elderly looking. He wore brown coveralls with no shirt. Speaking in English, he told Mr. Jackson that they came from the planet "Planteh." They have been preparing "a neighboring planet" for colonization by Earth people, and Jackson was asked to help then recruit colonists; perfect health was offered to him in return for his assistance. After 90 minutes of conversation Jackson left the craft, which took off with great speed. Then he found himself in his trailer. He told his 16-year old son of the experience. The case appears to have episodes of distorted reality or missing time. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1975-42, citing Frazier Moore, Fort Myers News-Press **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7436 ### Event 37877 (24F18721) **Date:** 11/3/1975 **Description:** At 11:45 p.m. the two witnesses, Christian Talbot and Susan Mondor, were driving on an old dirt road in Saint-Dominique-de-Bagot, Quebec, Canada on a very bright starry night.

Both witness could only catch a glimpse of the stranger, described as somewhat "caveman" in appearance, with dark hair and a beard, pointy ears, and "demonic" facial features. The top half of its body was greenish and the bottom half was pale white. This strange creature ran by the car and disappeared into the woods. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Early in the evening, loggers in a truck were driving on a forest road when they saw a UFO hovering. Mike Rogers, 28 years old, stopped the truck. One of the loggers, Travis Walton, jumped out of the truck and ran towards the UFO, his comrades shouted for him to come back, but he did not listen. He threw himself flat on the ground in the bushes and crawled towards the object. He then heard a shrill noise, stood up, and a bright beam of light from the object hit him in the chest, he lost consciousness. The driver drove off in a hurry, stopping a little further away, the bright light between the trees gradually disappeared. They returned to look for Walton, but there was no trace of him. He reappeared after 5 days, exhausted, upset, having lost his memory. Under hypnosis he spoke of a medical examination on board the craft.

He gets out to watch it for a few minutes as it makes a rushing sound, then it disappears. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, p. 185 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5225 ### Event 37896 (2A068038) **Date:** 11/5/1975 **Locations:** Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest; Snowflake, Arizona; Mogollon Rim Road; Old Verde Road; Turkey Springs; Heber, Arizona **Description:** Just after 6:00 p.m. [Travis Walton](https://ufocongress.com/travis-walton/) and six fellow log cutters finish a long day of thinning undergrowth in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona. Heading up Mogollon Rim Road, Walton soon notices something shining among the branches off to the right. The others see it too. They turn up Old Verde Road toward Turkey Springs. The spaces between the trees flash by too quickly to make out what the object is, but a clearing reveals a yellowish glow that washes across the road in front of them. The driver speeds up to get a closer look. They reach the clearing, and about 110 feet away a glowing disc hangs in the air, making a high- pitched buzz and floating motionless between the trees, only 15 feet off the ground. The truck slams to a halt and Walton opens his door to get a better look. There is no sound. One of the cutters shouts: “My God! It’s a flying saucer!” Walton then steps out of the cab and walks toward the object. The others beg him to get back in the truck, but he feels compelled to get a close-up look. He approaches the craft cautiously, glancing back to the truck now and then as his friends continue to plead with him. Coming within 6 feet, Walton stops and stares up at its glowing underside. Suddenly, the silence gives way to what Walton later describes as the thunderous swell of a turbine engine. A narrow beam of light fires from the bottom of the disc and strikes Walton in the chest. It lifts him up, then knocks him unconscious to the ground like a thunderbolt. In a panic, the rest of the crew speeds away toward the main road, terrified. When the men regain their senses, they return to the clearing to rescue Walton, but the craft is gone and so is Walton. Despite a thorough search of the area, they find no trace of him and drive home. When they report what happened, the authorities discount the men’s tale as a ridiculous attempt to cover up a murder and launch an extensive search for Walton’s body. They search for several days and find nothing. Walton reappears outside Heber, Arizona, on November 10 and corroborates their story, with the addition of what happened aboard the spacecraft. Walton awakes in a hospital-like room, observed by three short, bald creatures. He fights with them until a human wearing a helmet leads him to another room, where he blacks out as three other humans put a clear plastic mask over his face. He remembers nothing else until he finds himself walking along a highway, with the UFO departing above him. In the days following, The National Enquirer awards Walton and his coworkers a $5,000 prize for “best UFO case of the year” after they pass polygraph tests administered by Cy Gilson of the Arizona state police \(repeated in 1993\), the Enquirer, and APRO. A private investigator named John McCarthy tests Walton using an outdated procedure with a polygraph in 1975 and finds him deceptive. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Travis Walton UFO Incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis%5FWalton%5FUFO%5Fincident)”; Lorenzen, Abducted!

He got up and when he was with the dog he saw a ball like a big balloon coming from Guebwiller. The UFO was whistling like a siren. It eventually landed in his parents' cabbage plantation, 50 m from the house. It was round, about 2 m high, with a belt of square, luminous portholes and topped with a dome. Three hatches opened up below and three legs unfolded to land. At one point the dome lifted and a form emerged that looked like the head and torso of a human. The form turned towards him, then went back into the craft and the dome closed. At the same time a claw came out from under the craft at the end of an arm and this claw took three cabbages in three times, which it brought back up into the machine. The craft began to rumble, rose up, folded its legs and took off diagonally towards Reguisheim. This lasted 15 minutes. (November 6, 1975) **Reference:** J.C.

Underground, in the launch control facility, two officers note the signal, but there is no TV surveillance topside. A missile security helicopter checks the area and Sabotage Alert Teams consisting of 4–6 men are ordered to proceed to the areas. One SAT team drives down the highway and onto a dirt road that leads to the K-7 area near Judith Gap, Montana. About a mile away, the team sees an orange, glowing object. As they close to within half a mile, they can see that the object is tremendous in size. They radio to the launch control facility that, from their location, they are viewing a brightly glowing, orange, football field-sized disc that illuminates the missile site. The SAT team is ordered to proceed into the K-7 site. However, they refuse to go any farther, clearly fearful of the intimidating appearance of the object. It begins to rise, and at about 1,000 feet, NORAD picks up the UFO on radar. Two F- 106 jet interceptors are launched from Great Falls and head toward the K-7 site. The UFO continues to rise. At about 200,000 feet, it disappears from NORAD’s radar. The F-106s are never able to get a clear sighting of the several UFOs, which play cat-and-mouse with the aircraft, extinguishing their illumination when they approach, and re-illuminating after the fighters return to base. All members of the SAT team are directed to the base hospital, where they are psychologically tested. No one can identify the object, but the members of the SAT team obviously have been through a traumatic experience. Targeting teams, along with computer specialists, are brought to the launch site to examine the missile and the computer in the warhead. When the computer is checked, they find that the tape has mysteriously changed target numbers. The reentry vehicle is then taken from the silo and brought back to the base. Eventually the entire missile is changed out. Radar and visual sightings continue for the next 31 hours. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Malmstrom AFB Incident \(1975\)](http://www.nicap.org/babylon/malmstrom75dir.htm)”; ClearIntent, [pp. 27–29](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/26/mode/2up); Richard Sigismond, “Four Huge Orange Discs and the Case for the UFO,” IUR 8, no. 2 \(Mar./Apr. 1983\): 7–8; Thomas E.

These circular tracks were six inches across and nearly an inch deep, as if made by a heavy biped taking long strides, which ran for some distance. He wanted to photograph them, but because it was getting late in the afternoon he decided to come back later. He returned with a friend on this afternoon. Before they located the tracks they saw two quasi-human figures about five feet tall, dressed in dark blue or black, emerge from a copse of woods 50 meters away. These beings had very long arms and were taking extraordinarily long strides. They began to ascend a very steep slope, and the mineralogist's friend ran after them, but the beings climbed the slope so quickly that they easily escaped from view and were lost in some bushes ont he hill. The main witness reported that no human athlete, in his opinion, could have duplicated their performance. A few seconds later a white station wagon with dark painted windows came into view on a little traveled road further up the slope, then took off again at high speed. Immediately afterwards, a small blue car did exactly the same thing. Although the bushes blocked their view, the witnesses believed that these two vehicles had picked up the humanoids. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

About ten employees working at the Lebon factories had the opportunity to observe, at the place called Davant Nouzon, in the direction of the "Maroc" or "Chesnois" quarters, an unusual object in the shape of a disk composed of two plates seeming to be glued together with the lower part dark, of a blackish color. It stabilized, remained still, allowing to observe that the upper part was of a grayish color and a series of white flashing lights on the edge, with a kind of fixed red light at the base. It seemed to be stationed about ten meters above the treetops. After a good quarter of an hour it rose slowly, progressively moving towards the northwest. The sky was clear, sunny. It was smaller than the diameter of the moon and one could see a kind of small halo around it.

Suddenly they saw in the sky in front of them, an immense object in the shape of a saucer. The object was red-orange. It was spinning above their heads (...). One of the two guards went into the camp to give the alarm and the other, Zhang Ke-Tao, stayed in front of the door. A few minutes later, when the battalion commander arrived with his men at the entrance, the soldier who had stayed outside had disappeared. (...) They searched for him meticulously: in vain. A few hours later, 4 soldiers (the guard had been reinforced) were surprised by a moaning coming from behind them. They turned around and to their astonishment they saw their missing comrade sighing at the foot of the door. They headed towards him to lift him up, and all were astonished to see that his eyebrows, his hair and his beard were long as if several days had passed. When he woke up the soldier had lost his memory, he remembered nothing. Another astonishing phenomenon: his watch had stopped, but as it had no calendar, it was impossible to know how many days the soldier had spent "elsewhere".

Despite the base's powerful B-2 bombers, they are unequipped to peacefully intercept the unidentified chopper, which hovered over the base for 35 minutes, disappeared towards Canada, and then returned hours later. Major Richard E. Quimby, the base's public information officer, stated they didn't have the means to force the helicopter down during its appearances. While Loring is designed for nuclear deterrence and lacks its own helicopters or interceptor aircraft, it can seek assistance from other Air Force units or the Royal Canadian Air Force. Shooting the mystery copter wasn't considered as it displayed no hostile intent, had no approved flight plan, and remained unresponsive to communication attempts. An ongoing investigation involving the FBI, the Air Force's security police, state police, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has yet to uncover the helicopter's origins. **Type:** mystery helicopter **Reference:** [newspapers.com](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-burlington-free-press-mystery-copter/130402515/) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_959 ### Event 37978 (8DB4930F) **Date:** 11/16/1975 **Location:** SOUTHEAST / GREAT FALLS, MT **Description:** Ranch.

They stop the car and get out to watch for a while. Frightened, they drive into town to notify the police. The police chief describes Erenberger as “terrified, nearly hysterical.” An officer accompanies the two students back to the location but sees nothing unusual. Erenberger tells a reporter from the Cedar Rapids Gazette that they were only 30 feet away from one of the lights, which was only 25 feet off the ground. She makes a drawing of a domed object for a high-school newspaper. UFO investigator [Kevin D. Randle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%5FD.%5FRandle) interviews Erenberger on November 27, and she tells him there is a bright light coming from a 30-foot-wide disc-shaped object with a huge glass dome. She thinks she can see two humanoid shapes behind it. But Vardeman separately tells Randle that he only sees lights in the distance and nothing else. Randle also talks to an additional witness, [Richard Manson](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81833790/richard-carl-manson), who has seen a red light about the same time. Randle concludes that the lights come from aircraft landing at the Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport and that Erenberger’s details are confabulations. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Coed: ‘No Doubt about What I Saw,’](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96881701/)” Cedar Rapids \(Iowa\) Gazette, November 19, 1975, p. 3C; Kevin D.

A white light blinded him. L.B. tried to get away, but the UFO, emitting a kind of buzzing sound, kept close to the truck. "It was about 10 meters above my windshield," the unfortunate driver said. L.B. arrived home and woke up his wife and three teenage children. They all noticed the UFO hovering above their house. Its shape was now that of a disc. Soon it rose up again and stopped, still emitting the same buzzing sound. The police were called. Two patrol officers confirmed the presence of the UFO; one of them shone his spotlight on the object as it approached the truck. The dog kept barking as long as the UFO hovered above the house.

Each attendee paid $2 for the lecture. Marshall Herf Applewhite, one of the speakers, spoke about becoming a creature capable of transitioning to another world. Applewhite made references to UFOs and clarified they weren't discussing another religion. He also drew a parallel between the biblical account of Jesus' ascension and UFOs, suggesting that Jesus was a figure from the "next" world showing humans how to overcome death. The attendees were diverse, but many left before the lecture's conclusion. The event faced a delay due to a disagreement over photographing the speakers. **Type:** cult activity **Reference:** [newspapers.com](https://www.newspapers.com/article/tri-city-herald-ufo-two/130387026/) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_961 ### Event 38001 (0FA05C96) **Date:** 11/21/1975 **Description:** On this night a shining round object with a blinking light moved quickly from north to south in the eastern sky from Forest Grove, Oregon.

Glowing different colors, it hovered silently ahead of their car, which had slowed down to a crawl despite all attempts by Mr. Vidal to speed up. The object was cone-shaped and the bottom appeared to rotate rapidly, "like a drill." It was so large and so close that it filled most of their windshield, and remained in position near their slowly moving car for what they thought was 15 minutes, after which it rapidly climbed away and disappeared from view. They reached the town of Culiacan at 7:00 a.m., about two and a half hours late, and the missing time could not be accounted for. After they returned to their home in Santa Ana, Mrs. Vidal began to have a series of nightmares in which she dreamed she had been abducted by a UFO. In another dream she was levitated from her bed by a group of shadowy, small entities using some bright fluorescent lights. Her husband, awakened by her cries, awakened his wife, and she had scratches on her arms and legs that she could not account for. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

A second driver reportedly also saw the UFO. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Middle River (MN) Record, January 7, 1976 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7963 ### Event 38025 (AEE96A56) **Date:** 11/28/1975 **Time:** 03:30 **Location:** MOSCIANO SOUTH ANGELO, ITL **Description:** 2 observer(s).

He saw a bluish beam coming out of the water and turning like a lighthouse, falling back and repeating five times with an interval of 2 seconds between each emission. After observing the thing, despite his fear, the fisherman decided to set his lines. He moved towards a reference point that a friend kept near the trammel stakes. He then noticed that the blue beam was moving, covering a meter with each flash, up to his height. (...) He then directed the flashlight towards the glow that he no longer saw, but saw a luminous trail coming out of the water and leaving at a dizzying speed towards the open sea. Strangely, the flashlight went out quickly, despite the new battery. (November 30, 1975) **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "OVNI, le premier dossier complet..." - ed.

One weekend, I came home, and my father shared an incident with me. The previous Tuesday, several students from Toledo Jr. High School, where he was principal, had acted strangely all morning. Some teachers noticed and informed my father. He thought it odd and spoke to the three affected children, two boys and a girl, all living in the same area east of Toledo, near Pioneer Mountain. They seemed reluctant to share, so my father didn’t press further. On Wednesday, the girl was absent, but the boys continued their strange behavior. Thursday, the girl returned, and along with a fourth child from near Pioneer Mountain, all acted even more bizarrely, seemingly scared of everything. Finally, one of the boys decided to tell my father what had happened.

On the night of Monday, they had seen strange lights on the north side of the mountain, accompanied by odd noises. He further claimed a spaceship had landed near his house. The next morning, the ship was gone, leaving only a large patch of burnt grass. The parents advised their children to keep quiet for fear of ridicule. But on Wednesday night, the ship returned, this time with apparent extraterrestrial beings in shiny suits, collecting plants and even taking a cow with them. They seemed scared but didn't approach the beings. The following morning, the beings were still present. At this point, my father had each child confirm the story independently. One child, witnessing it for the first time the previous night, added they had stolen chickens and rabbits, describing the beings as log-like figures with limbs.

Thinking the children had misinterpreted some event, my father called the police. Jerry, the Toledo police chief whom my father knew, accompanied by a local newspaper editor, decided to investigate. Upon reaching the location, they noticed an odd atmosphere – every house was shut, and no dogs were outside. Venturing further, they saw a UFO with three small beings around it, collecting items. The journalist tried to take photos, but his camera malfunctioned after one of the beings pointed a "magic device" at it. The beings continued their collection undisturbed. The two men later spoke to locals who advised them to stay indoors when "these things" were around. They shared that aside from the cow, the beings didn’t take much.

They were the same type she had seen on August 26th: about six feet tall, brown vinyl like bodies with metallic looking arms, and mummy-like heads bandaged up in tape (with the eyes remaining visible). They floated her out through the bedroom wall to a field several blocks away, where they took her onboard a UFO. When she was taken from the craft they were in a desert landscape with white sand, lit by a celestial body resembling the moon. She was taken into a square building where a humanoid--she thought of him as a scientist--interrogated her using telepathy. Then she was taken home, again floating through a closed door into her house. She thought about taking a bath, and the entities asked her what "soap" was; she took them to her basement and gave them a cup of laundry detergent. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

One was male and the other female. He had seen the male before. They were both nearly human in appearance, except they had yellow colored eyes, high cheeks, flat noses, and wide thin mouths. The man was also bald, and the woman appeared to be wearing a wig. While the man was over 6 feet tall, the woman was somewhat shorter. Their skin seemed translucent it was so pale, and their fingers were exceptionally long, especially the middle one, but their legs were unusually short. Feeling strangely unable to resist them, he went with them into his back room and undressed. The woman went over his body with a small metallic device, then undressed and had sexual intercourse with the witness, making animal sounds during the process. At one point he was told by the beings that they had lost the will to resist evil, so they needed to interbreed with humans. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** letter in CUFOS dated March 11, 1978; David F.

One of them jumped--in one bound--to the middle of the roadway, a distance of about 15 feet, and the leap appeared to happen in slow motion. The man then slowly raised both his arms above his head. Le Duc swerved his car and passed within two or three feet of him. The man was between seven and eight feet tall and very thin, with long arms and matted reddish, shoulder-length hair. His very long face had a long pointed nose and pallid white skin. The upper lip was pulled back to show teeth, while the lower lip was very thin. He wore a black one-piece garment with white bands at the wrists and ankles and a patch of white at the neck. He also had on black boots. The other two men were dressed in a similar manner. The man in the road held something reddish purple in his left hand, "with a wire on it." Le Duc kept driving, but shortly afterwards saw an elongated luminous object behind his truck, which blinked on and off several times. Soon a bright light illuminated his truck's cab and surroundings, and stayed with the truck until Le Duc reached his home. Another source, UFO investigator Greg Long, reported that at the same time that Le Duc had this encounter with the strange men on the road, the apparition of a very close friend who had been recently killed in a car accident appeared to be sitting in the passenger seat. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David W.

A man is driving his truck on a gravel road along Toppenish Ridge in the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington State when he sees a cow and two calves running toward him as if fleeing from something. Moments later he sees three figures in the ditch. One jumps up on the road, covering 15 feet in a single slow-motion leap, its arms above its head. The witness describes it as a skinny, 7-foot-tall man with a narrow, pale face and long, pointed nose. It is dressed in close-fitting black clothing and boots. On its chest there is a white trapezoid insignia. The entity is carrying something purple it its left hand that has a wire on it that runs down its arm. The other two creatures remain on the side of the road. The witness speeds up, swerving around the figure. A few moments later, a bright, elongated UFO appears behind him. The interior of the truck is flooded with light. Suddenly he becomes aware of a “shadow” in the passenger seat. From the shape of the head and coat, the man “knows” it is a friend of his. The friend looks at him, leans forward and looks up at the light, falls back, wipes his eyes, and vanishes. At that moment, the light disappears. The next morning, he learns that his friend has been killed in a shooting. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Greg Long, Examining the Earthlight Theory: The Yakima UFO Microcosm, CUFOS, 1990, pp. 56–60; Clark III 281 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5239 ### Event 38072 (1087F29D) **Date:** 12/15/1975 **Time:** 23:00 **Location:** LAITRE-SS-AMANCE TO/FROM LANEUVELOT, FR **Description:** 2 observer(s).

Suddenly his radio begins to hiss and crackle, and flashes of light spark out, dancing across the windshield. As he looks out through the steady rain, two angular, ice-blue lights pass slowly across his field of view. Moments later they are gone, the sparking stops, and the radio works again. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, “The Twelve UFOs of Christmas,” Fortean Times 374 \(Christmas 2018\): 29 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5250 ### Event 38123 (1109ED85) **Date:** 1/5/1976 **Location:** FRANCE, Domène "Les Mortes" (Isère) **Description:** (Translated from French) A 10-year-old boy, Jean-Claude Silvente, who was alone at the place called "Les Mortes" saw, around 6 pm, a luminous object of conical shape, about 2.50 m high, resting on the ground and emitting various glows: its appearance was preceded by a hissing sound. The engine having opened, he saw a yellow light inside and a man 2m tall came out, wearing a tight and luminous white suit. He had yellow hair and on the top of his hands a "green circle". The boy did not see his face, nor his feet, his legs seemed stiff like sticks, he walked like a somnambulist with his arms outstretched. When a door opened silently on the left of the device, a kind of undulating carpet descended slowly to the ground after a click, it was on this inclined plane that the tall being appeared. He stretched out his arms towards the child who fled, while hearing a loud noise behind him, like a flush. (Continued on January 6, 1976). (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 591, 592) A child saw an entity come out of a luminous device. It was tall, with long hair and a shiny and tight garment. The face was not visible. It advanced towards the child, both arms outstretched towards him, the latter fled, terrified. **Reference:** Erich ZURCHER: "Les apparitions d'humanoïdes" - ed.

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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** 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.

Their car began driving as if it had a mind of its own, reaching 85 MPH even though Mona was hitting the brakes. A glowing red UFO descended and emitted a bright light into the car with a gaseous hazy quality. The UFO stayed close to the car and the women described it as enormous, metallic and disk shaped with a dome on top, a ring of red lights around its mid section, and a yellow, blinking light on the bottom. When the chaos subsided, they were in the car still driving down the road at a normal speed, but they were covered with burns. Upon reaching Mrs. Smith's home, they realized it was 1:20 a.m., meaning they had over an hour of missing time. They contacted the police, and soon their story hit nationwide headlines. UFO investigators began studying their case eagerly, and found a number of strange verifiable phenomena. Mechanical and electrical devices often stopped working in their presence, and Mrs. Smith's pet bird went wild with fear in her presence, and no longer would allow her near it. All took polygraph tests administered by the Lexington Police Department. All passed. Under a series of hypnotic sessions, the women all recalled being abducted by alien beings on a spaceship, and probed in many uncomfortable ways. Elaine Thomas died two years after the abduction, of unknown causes. The women have sought no fame or fortune from their UFO experience, and have tried hard to be left alone. **Type:** abduction **Reference:** [Website: "The Night Sky II", Article: Stanford UFO Abductions](https://www.thenightskyii.org/stanford.html) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_904 ### Event 38128 (8C3B8050) **Date:** 1/6/1976 **Location:** FRANCE, Domène "Les Mortes" **Description:** (Translated from French) (cf: January 5, 1976) Around 6 pm, Jean-Claude Silvente was discreetly accompanied by his future brother-in-law Marcel Solvini to get milk: indeed, following the events of the previous day, his mother thought he might have encountered an unbalanced person. Solvini was standing on the opposite sidewalk. On Jean-Claude's left was a garden bordering the road, separated from him by a fence. Suddenly, right in front of a tree, less than 4 m away from him, he saw the silver silhouette, without a face or feet, perfectly still. The boy screamed in terror, his brother-in-law crossed the road but saw nothing. The humanoid had gone out. The child, in a real panic, rushed home. His mother, sister, and brother-in-law went to the site: there was nothing, when suddenly they saw a light source turn on above the house, bright like a rugby ball, staying in place at 1m50 from the ground. It made no sound. Taking fright, the two young girls quickly went home. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." ed.

They were near Stanford \(Kentucky\), returning to Liberty on the narrow and winding Route 78. A red UFO, possibly 30 m in diameter, appears in the sky to the East. It is topped with a bluish-white dome with a blinding light. The UFO sends out blue beams of light and one of them illuminates the car. Louise, the driver, stops the vehicle. Mona tries to get out but is paralyzed. Louise restarts the car and, as the two protagonists approach a tunnel carved into the rock, the car loses control, speeding at 140 km/h on a straight, long, and traffic-free road that has nothing to do with the real Route 78. The trio feels an intense heat.

The following days, all three of them will suffer from burning sensations and weight loss. The three friends will go through a lie detector test. During a hypnosis regression, Mona Stafford will give a detailed description of an abduction in which her body was covered with a painful liquid and a tube inserted into her stomach.

It grows larger, then descends rapidly to the right of the car at tree-top level. As it hovers, they can see a disc shape with round windows with rotating, blinking red lights around each of them; yellow lights stretch below these, and a luminous blue dome is on top of the object. The UFO moves closer, flips on its side, and shines three beams of bluish-white light on the road, and another into their vehicle. Smith, apparently dazed, gets out of the car, but Stafford pulls her back in. There is a “dead silence,” their skin tingles, and they start getting severe headaches. They find the car has started back up on its own and is moving at 85 mph with no help from Smith. Stafford feels as if it is being pulled. Moments later, they find themselves 8 miles away, just outside Hustonville. When they get home to Smith’s trailer in Liberty, Kentucky, around 1:25 a.m., they find they are missing about an hour and a half of time. All three of them experience odd physical and psychological symptoms. The women are hypnotized by ufologist [R.

The man was standing on the sidewalk only 30 yards from his house, in the same posture as before, but only 12 feet away from him this time. He spilled the milk and ran. His sister’s boyfriend, who had been following him, saw nothing. But when they returned to the same spot Jean Claude, his mother, his 17-year-old sister, and ther boyfriend all saw a red “headlight” dive down from the sky at them “as if it would land on them.” They ran away in panic to a nearby police station. At 8:20 p.m. a cigar-shaped UFO with lights on the bottom flew slowly over the town of Laissaud, Savoie, France. It periodically emitted beams of light downwards for 5 minutes, then zoomed away to the north. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) 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.

It had the form of a "coffee pot", a 50-60 foot high cylinder with a narrow waist, the upper portion larger than the lower one, and was about 40 to 45 feet in diameter. From the bottom a bright white light turned on, which illuminated it. The top surface seemed to be vibrating, and on each side near the top was attached a relatively small vertical helix, which also vibrated. A door opened in the upper portion, and three beings that looked like “robots” resembling “aluminum diving suits,” 6.5-7.0 feet tall, descended. They had square heads, disproportionately small legs, and in lieu of arms, a telescopic “pole” about 7 feet long, mounted on their chests. These entities moved about near the UFO for about ten minutes, walking in a mechanical manner and wagging their poles up and down. They then re-entered, and the machine took off, disappearing at a rapid speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gil Bil Helaar, Skylook, May 1976, p. 4; David F.

Believing it to be pranksters, Masseron looked out the window and saw, a few tens of meters away, a luminous object in the shape of an egg, either on or very close to the ground. This object moved in a spiral trajectory, emitting a stridulation that increased as it moved away. Wanting to know more, Masseron went outside. He now heard a kind of message similar to one received by a walkie-talkie, with the characteristic crackling. He didn't understand the message but heard a voice saying: "...L.P.X... L.P.X... L.P.X" On the left, something moved and caught his attention. It was the black silhouette of a man of average height, running across the path in a crab-like fashion: the axis of his body oriented along the extension of his right leg. He passed between the fence and an unoccupied caravan. Next to it in the other caravan was the Zamora family, sleeping. Mrs. Zamora was awoken by voices: "What am I doing?" "You do like me". She eventually opened the window and heard a message identical to the one received by Masseron. Strange footprints were left. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L.

The figure was seen in profile from the waist up. There was no discernible face, and the back of the head was flat and corrugated. The glow from the head extended above the bushes that were 7-8 feet high, and extended about 9 inches from the body, with a less luminous silvery outer glow that extended another 9” beyond that. The teen ran to a friend’s house; then they got two other friends, and armed with a 22-caliber rifle he returned to the site. When they encountered the figure again one of them shone a flashlight on it, and it fell backwards behind a ridge. When the flashlight was pointed away the figure rose up again, and remained in view for 3-4 seconds before slowly ducking back behind the ridge. When it came up a third time, he shot at it twice with the .22 aiming over its head; it slowly descended for the third and last time. One of the witnesses was unable to see the being. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Having passed Matias Barbosa, Herminio, tired from the journey, stopped on the side of the road to rest. He dozed off while his wife kept watch. Half an hour passed and Bianca saw through the windshield what she took to be a very pretty glowing balloon. The balloon approached, went dark, and disappeared. Suddenly it lit up again, directing a beam of light towards the car which then went dark again as the balloon stopped. Thinking it was an airplane in trouble about to crash into their vehicle, she screamed, and Herminio woke up with a start. Both of them then experienced a strange feeling of lightness, a kind of emptiness. (...) The car was sucked up, and they found themselves with it in a circular room. (...) Two young people helped them out of the car and then there was a medical examination and a message for contactees. Then there were other contacts.

Her car radio went wild, and she felt like she had been hypnotized. Near Vandenburg AFB **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 12150, citing MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 273 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_450 ### Event 38190 (6072BFAF) **Date:** 1/23/1976 **Description:** At 5:15 p.m. a 17-year-old witness had gotten off the bus in Bolton, Lancashire, England and was returning home to her housing development. She then saw an object with two lights, one amber and the other red, over the Rumsworth Reservoir. The object suddenly streaked toward her and came to hover directly over her. The metallic looking UFO was about 25 feet in diameter and shaped like an octagon, with one amber light and a flashing red light. It had a curved base and a flat top. It rotated on its axis, and the witness's teeth vibrated as if ultrasonic sound waves were emanating from the object, causing her pain in her mouth. Also, pressure on her shoulders knocked her down, and she attempted to scream but was unable to. She ran home terrified. Later under hypnosis it was revealed that she had suffered a 45 minute period of missing time and could vaguely recall an abduction experience. She could only recall being inside a room with a tall blond or albino woman who wore a long gown. She was told by this woman “not to be afraid” and felt that information was being inserted into her brain at high speed. She was also given several apocalyptic messages. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, FSR, May 1976, p. 32; Bolton Evening News, January 24 & 27, 1976; John F.

The being was wearing a diving suit of yellow-orange color with a round-topped helmet and a rectangular face plate. Atop the helmet was a whitish light. He could only make out the upper portion of the figure because the bushes blocked his view. After driving on, he went and notified the police, who investigated on the following day and found freshly broken branches at the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Scared, he started running while the light approached and moved away from him several times. Finally, the craft landed 6m away from the witness: it looked like a telephone booth, 2m wide and 4m high, dark green, with a dome or rotating beacon on top emitting red and white flashes. Just below the dome were semi-circular wings 50cm long, and the whole thing was resting on a tripod. A door opened on its hinges, releasing a ramp and two human beings 2m tall emerged, wearing tight and phosphorescent frogman suits. Their wide belt had a buckle that emitted blinding red and white rays. These beings approached the witness up to 4m, who, dazzled, covered his face with his hands and couldn't see their faces. They spoke an incomprehensible language for Carasco, but with a perfectly human tone. Again scared, Carasco ran away while the beings returned to their craft which immediately took off obliquely. This maneuver was accompanied by the emission of a photographic flash and smoke that stained his cheek, palms, hair and jacket: the whole right side of the witness, who at that moment, fainted. Without knowing how, he found himself in front of his house in a state of confusion so his parents called a doctor. **Reference:** STENDEK n° 24, June 1976 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2904 ### Event 38198 (FAFE155F) **Date:** 1/28/1976 **Time:** 00:30 **Location:** BENACAZON, SPAIN **Description:** UFO beams going down. 2 pseudo-human/entity strike with a disabling beam observer(s).

It was dark green, rectangular, and taller than a telephone booth, and it stood on three legs. From this landed object emerged two men 6’6” or more in height, who came to within 12 or 15 ft of the witness. They were clad in dark but luminous tight fitting clothing resembling rubber or plastic, with wide belts whose buckles emitted blindingly bright and hot flashes of red and white light; he could not see their faces, but noticed that they had shoulder-length blondish-white hair. The witness put his hands over his face, but could not stir from the spot. He heard the men talking in a language he could not understand; then he began to run. The UFO rose and flew over him, emitting something that burned him; he lost consciousness until at 0230A he found himself at the door of his house in Benacazon. He had to be hospitalized for shock. In the hospital he was found to have strange sooty black marks on his right cheek, on the palms of both hands, on his shoulders and on his right arm; these began to disappear after 7-8 hours. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Joaquin M.

The object was at least 60 feet long, and had flashing red and white lights on one end and a dark ring around the middle section, which also had portholes. His car stopped running, and he got out to check the engine. He next saw two men, about 200 feet away, walking toward him. They wore silver sparkling one-piece uniforms with a diagonal black stripe, and a round white central emblem. He wanted to get back into his car but felt paralyzed and unable to move. As the men approached, he saw that they were bald and had close set squinting eyes, a grayish white complexion, and something that lookede like folds or gills under their ears. Their mouths were very small and their noses “puggish.” One of them questioned Sands in English, but he did not hear the words coming from the being's mouth. It spoke in a slow, “robot-like” voice. The voice asked him, “What are you doing here?” and he replied, “I am an entertainer.” The next question was “What are your means of communication,” which he was at a loss to answer. Four or five other questions were asked, which he has chosen not to reveal. They said that they would see him again. Turning to go, the leader brushed his fingertips over Mr. Sands hand, which seemed to release him from the paralysis. They walked away, and the car started again. Many observers reported seeing rust-colored cigar shaped objects over the Las Vegas Valley that night. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, March-April 1976, p. 1; David F.

After watching for a couple of minutes, he goes outside. The object comes down behind a small bank on the far side of a sports field opposite his house. He crosses the field, climbs the bank, and sees from about 82 feet away, a dome-shaped object emitting a bright-white to yellow light from three or four windows. When he looks through the object’s windows he can see a tall cylinder \(that he likens to a ship’s compass mounting\), motionless gray shapes \(like car seats with headrests seen from the rear\), and perhaps entities. He hears a humming noise. The object takes off to the east with the noise increasing in volume. It climbs away at 60° and recedes to a point source and disappears. The total duration is 6–7 minutes. The next day he returns to the spot and notes the rough grass beyond the sports field has been scorched in a circular patch. This grass later dies. On October 24, 1977, the Tasmanian UFO Information Centre takes soil samples of this area that are examined by Geoff Stevens using a thermoluminescence test. His investigation reveals no significant, systematic differences in the thermoluminescence content of soil and mineral particles taken from within the affected area, and control samples taken from outside this area. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Geoff Stevens, “Thermoluminescence Measurements of Soil Samples Affected by a UFO,” CUFOS Bulletin, Spring 1978, pp. 1, 3–6; Keith Roberts and Geoff Stevens, “[The Kettering, Tasmania, Landing: A Study,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2024%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 24, no. 3 \(November 1978\): 18–21; “Tasmanian Landing in 1976,” IUR 31, no. 2 \(June 2007\): 21 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5260 ### Event 38284 (38F051B7) **Date:** 2/25/1976 **Description:** The first humanoid report on this day occurred in Kettering, Tasmania.

When she looked up she saw an object moving slowly at treetop level “a few thousand feet away.” Her husband came out and saw it, two. It had a translucent dome on top and gold lights around its periphery. Above the dome was a deep red flashing light, and there were holes in the bottom out of which a blue light shone. Mr. T. estimated its size as 80 feet in diameter. It descended among some trees in a wetlands area near their home. They watched it for two hours, until 9:30 p.m. The man and his two sons then got in their van and drove to a point closer to the object. They noticed an unnatural silence, but could not get a good view. When they returned home Mrs. T. was missing. After searching the house, they returned to the living room when she suddenly showed up. Her speech was slow and slurred, and she claimed that she had been in the bedroom. At 11:30 p.m. the couple went to bed, but they woke up at 12:45 a.m., finding that they had somehow exchanged positions in bed. Both felt nauseous, and the back door of their house was found to be open. The next day an investigator visited them and discovered three wedge-shaped holes in the ground and broken tree branches where the UFO had evidently landed near the house. A few days later the couple vaguely remembered being taken onboard the craft during the hour before they woke up. The husband clearly recalled “being in a galley area where they were eating. An extraterrestrial was sitting there with his head on his hand looking up at me as if saying, “What are you doing here?” This being had wrinkled whitish gray skin, high cheekbones, a high forehead, and eyes that were three or four times bigger than human eyes; he was also bald. He was looking at the man with an expression of “disdain.” Under hypnosis the wife remembered much more. One kind of alien was about four feet tall, a second group, “the doers”, were about 5.5 feet tall; and a third type with huge eyes and pupils like that of a cat, was 6.6 feet tall. The couple said the beings communicated with them by telepathy, and that they believe that “their minds have been probed by extraterrestrials since the March incident.” **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Stopping and cutting the contact, he saw an oval object placed vertically with two kinds of dark red portholes spaced about 40 cm apart on the edge, from which very bright lights were escaping. The witness felt a fear like never before. The object being blinding, he protected his eyes with his hands. When he looked again, the object had disappeared. Before going home he entered an establishment shouting "I saw a monster! I saw a monster!" still hiding his eyes with his hands. His eyes were stinging as if someone had thrown sand at him. He made a statement to the gendarmerie and the gendarmes confirmed the state of shock of this witness. **Reference:** M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." éd.

At that moment a bright green light descended on the white car, which was then enveloped in a thick white fog, and its headlights went out. After two minutes, the fog dissipated and a woman got out of the car to wipe the windshield with a yellow cloth that seemed to be covered in a white substance. A few moments later the woman was about to get back into her car when the headlights came back on by themselves. Surprised, she threw away the yellow cloth which immediately caught fire. She got back into her car and continued her journey towards Nundle, under the astonished gaze of the witnesses who saw a strange object disappear at an incredible speed into the clouds.

It is at this moment that a small white car approaches them, and they get out of their car in the hope of asking for directions. A bright yellow-green light suddenly descends from the sky, hiding the approaching car, then disappears. The vehicle veers off the wrong side of the road and is then enveloped in a white mist. The car stops, lights off. A woman gets out and wipes the windshield with a garment. Then she throws the garment to the ground, and it catches fire. She was gone before the stunned couple could react. As the car passes them, they notice it is covered in a thick white substance that was not unlike white paint. There is it everywhere except for the windshield where it had been wiped off.

She is about to get back in when its lights come back on by themselves. She throws the cloth on the roadside, drives a short way, and the yellow cloth bursts into flame. When the white car passes the couple, they notice it is covered in a thick white substance, except for the windshield. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Bill Chalker, “[Road Hazard Down](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%205.pdf) [Under?](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 22, no. 5 \(February 1977\): 28–32; Bill Chalker, “[Postscript to the Nemingha](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%203.pdf) [Case,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 3 \(October 1977\): 22, 27 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5265 ### Event 38336 (7EB2861E) **Date:** 3/24/1976 **Location:** GUADELOUPE, Pointe-à-Pitre **Description:** (Translated from French) Around noon, the gendarmerie was informed by H.G., manager of the La Bekere restaurant in Capesterre de Marie Galante, that two bright spheres of approximately one meter in diameter had been discovered on the beach of La Feuillère. The gendarmes noted that these spheres were buried quite deeply, at the edge of the breaking wave and partially covered by the sea water, 14 meters apart from each other. A very thin metal coating covered them, with a thickness of about 0.5 mm. On one of the spheres, the coating seemed to have melted, revealing another very resistant metal that could not be scratched with the tip of a knife. The gendarmes, in order to continue the investigation, waited for instructions and kept watch until nightfall, and cleared the things the next day. It turned out to be two half-spheres that fit perfectly into each other and seemed to have been welded together with a material resembling plastic. At 10 o'clock, the mayor arrived on the beach, claimed ownership of these things for the municipality, and despite the prohibition, had them removed to be exhibited in the municipality. **Reference:** J.C.

Around 10:30 pm they arrived at the village of Angüés, where they made a short stop and filled up with gas. They then set off on a straight 3 km stretch of road. It was then that they realized something very strange was coming towards them. It was a strange light coming at a speed of about 55 km on the other side of the road. But they could clearly see that it was not a vehicle: there were no headlights or wheels and it was moving in a wave-like motion. It was pear-shaped, 3.5 m tall and 7-8 m long and was about 50 cm off the ground. The object thus passed them in the opposite direction and, turning around, they saw that it left a kind of trail of sparks, like a firework. The wife then saw the object quickly ascend into the sky. "Look, look there!" said the husband. The two of them then saw the object ascend surrounded by a brilliant light. They then already arrived at the village of San Roman, without having passed through Lascellas, and arrived home at 10:50 pm, a good quarter of an hour earlier than expected, although they knew the route and the time it took to cover it very well. But the encounter was beneficial: the couple felt better, in better health, more serene, and even the car ran better than before and braked more quickly. **Reference:** Encuentros con el misterio, OVNIS EN LA CARRETERA, Article appeared in the magazine ENIGMAS, Javier García Blanco **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2913 ### Event 38367 (C2372A7B) **Date:** 4/2/1976 **Time:** 01:00 **Location:** SOUTHEAST / HUESCA, SPAIN **Description:** Engineer and lawyer.

Norman Collinson is driving home along the M62 and M66 motorways near Bury, Greater Manchester, England. As he turns north onto the M66 he observes a white disc of light moving very fast, crossing the path he is traveling. The object is heading toward Knoll Hill, east of Bury. The UFO makes a right- angle turn onto a south-southeast heading. Puzzled, the officer stops his vehicle and gets out to look at the light. As he does so, the light stops and hovers nearby. It then begins to perform a series of spectacular right-angle box turns, after which it moves off in the direction of Heywood, with Collinson following it in his car. The object stops a second time and again repeats the angular movements before streaking away at a tremendous speed. The incident is reported to the MOD and Manchester Airport. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles and Peter Warrington, “[Police](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%202.pdf) [Encounter at Bury,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 2 \(August 1977\): 13, 15 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5270 ### Event 38371 (64EEA83F) **Date:** 4/2/1976 **Description:** Mr. Bazargani from Chalus, Iran was walking through a forest near his home on this day in 1976 when he had a UFO stop directly overhead.

At about the same time in another part of the city, Luis Barroso Fernandes is preparing to travel to a site a few kilometers away on his donkey cart. He soon hears a buzzing sound, and a flying object 10 feet in diameter positions itself above him. It slowly descends in front of his cart about 100 feet away. The device emits a beam of light that strikes the donkey and Barroso, who immediately become paralyzed. A door opens on the UFO and two small beings emerge. One holds something like a flashlight and aims a beam that strikes Barroso in the face, causing him to lose consciousness. He wakes up in a different spot, dizzy and suffering from a burning sensation on his face, and a headache. The left side of his body is reddish, and he has difficulty getting into his cart and getting it moving. He asks his wife to take him to Dr. Antônio Moreira Magalhães, who prescribes a tranquilizer. He continues to feel sick, his eyes burn continuously, and the left side of his body is red. A few days later, his hair turns gray and he suffers memory lapses. After his symptoms worsen and other doctors fail to help, his family checks him into a psychiatric hospital in Fortaleza. His condition deteriorates, and he dies in April 1993. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Elias Bruno, “[Brazil: The](http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2012/04/brazil-barroso-case-1976.html) [Barroso Case,](http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2012/04/brazil-barroso-case-1976.html)” Inexplicata, April 29, 2012; Clark III 180–182; Brazil 179–184 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5271 ### Event 38375 (6B80DEA9) **Date:** 4/4/1976 **Time:** 21:20 **Location:** IPSWITCH AND ESSEX, MA **Description:** 3 / car and more/others.

As he walked, he saw a UFO in the sky that quickly descended and stopped above him. He was then unable to move, while 4 entities emerged from the saucer and took him inside the craft. He said he spent some time being examined by these entities before losing consciousness. He regained his senses early in the morning, not in the woods but in a deserted terrain. He had to walk all morning before finding a dirt road leading to the town of Isfahan. He had been put back on land 480 km south of his walking place. Barzagani was examined by doctors from the Red Lion and Sun Society Hospital in Isfahan. He was declared physically and psychologically healthy. The SAVAK, the national police of Iraq, investigated the case, and during the investigation they learned that villagers from the surroundings of Isfahan had seen a disc-shaped object in the sky.

Occult historian Gareth J. Medway suggests that the whole thing is a hoax by Shiels, who has a reputation for hoaxing. Medway notes that witnesses claiming encounters with the legendary monster “were either Doc Shiels, or friends of Doc Shiels, or relatives of Doc Shiels, or reported their sightings to Doc Shiels \(and to no one else\), or else wrote letters describing what they had seen to newspapers and were never interviewed by anyone.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Owlman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owlman)”; Robert J.

He drives closer and sees an object as high as a two-story house and 250 feet across with an orange-white light at the top and six bluish-white lights on the side. It is 500 feet away and about 100 feet off the ground. He thinks he can see, though an open side panel, something moving inside it. The object has several partially extended legs and a long, black, hose-like appendage. Suddenly the object rises straight up. He sees some kind of flash and his car lights go out, the motor stops, the radio goes dead, and he becomes dazed. A second police car arrives, noticing that the car door is open, and takes the witness to a hospital, from which he is released four days later. Some people in the area have difficulty with TV reception at the same time as the encounter. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Sighting Reports,” CUFOS News Bulletin, June 1976, pp. 5–6; Patrick Gross, “[George Wheeler’s Close Encounter, 1976](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/wheeler76.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5275 ### Event 38403 (D5189436) **Date:** 4/22/1976 **Description:** At 11:10 p.m. in Elmwood, Wisconsin police officer George Wheeler encountered a huge, 250-foot wide, silvery lens-shaped UFO hovering only 100 feet above the ground and just 500 feet away from his car.

When the UFO flashed a blue color his car's headlights, motor, and two-way radio failed. He was stunned by the flash and experienced a lapse of consciousness. He didn't remember anything else until someone stopped and asked him if he need help. He was hospitalized from April 23 to April 27. Another independent witness, Frederickson, saw a UFO land that night in Elmwood. There was also TV interference reported in the area. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Eau Claire (WI) Leader-Telegram, May 14, 1976; Jack M.

The lookout calls his attention to a green light dead ahead through light fog three miles away at 10° above the horizon. Radar reports no target and the sonar room hears no engines. The crew watches the green light dip to 30–40 feet above the surface and approach the ship. The lieutenant orders a course change to starboard, and the green light becomes much larger, making a comparable turn to port in order to pace the ship. The ship and the object both make subsequent turns, with the light now only 50-60 feet away. Suddenly a large blip appears on the radar scope. The destroyer returns to its original heading and the light stations itself on the port beam. When the captain comes on deck, the light circles the ship twice. Then once again off to port, it becomes a brighter green, tilts at an angle, and submerges. The next day the captain tells the crew not to discuss the incident. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald R.

All of Fidel's friends fled in panic, so he was left behind alone. With a mixture of fear and curiosity, Fidel approached the object and then crouched behind a stonewall to watch the enigmatic craft. Suddenly a row of lights became visible inside an opening in the craft. Fidel was able to see numerous multi-colored lights, monitors and other unidentified apparatus inside the craft. The craft was topped by a crystal dome and inside the dome several very tall, human-like figures could be seen moving about. He then saw three tall man-like figures appear from behind the object, not very far from his location. The humanoids were over two meters tall and wore tight-fitting white uniforms with belts and boots. They all had light blond, shoulder-length hair. Their faces were human-like but with large almond-shaped eyes. In single file the three tall beings walked to a potato field where several pounds of potatoes were stacked high in a pyramid. After looking at the potatoes for a few seconds, the beings then stared at the witness. At this point Fidel heard unintelligible words inside his head, as if the humanoids were attempting to communicate with him telepathically. A few seconds later the beings suddenly vanished in plain sight. At the same time, the object rose up from the ground emitting a steady buzzing sound. As the object disappeared into the distance, several additional towns people arrived to see the object disappear into space. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The document says the efforts of independent researchers are “vital for further progress,” implying the Agency may have monitored U.S. citizens’ own investigations into UAP. Four years later, D/NFAC wrote to DCI stating DCI working groups were analyzing unexplained events and Soviet science and technology “enigmas.” An official CIA history of involvement with UAP downplays Agency interest in UAP in the 1970s and 80s and makes no mention of the Agency’s interest in independent researchers or DCI working groups. * [https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/cia/ufos/C05515622.pdf](https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/cia/ufos/C05515622.pdf) * [https://archive.org/details/CIA-RDP05S00620R000300730012-6/mode/1up](https://archive.org/details/CIA-RDP05S00620R000300730012-6/mode/1up) * [https://www.cia.gov/static/105bd8290b90de13ee136fecc9fe863f/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf](https://www.cia.gov/static/105bd8290b90de13ee136fecc9fe863f/cia-role-study-UFOs.pdf) >**_Note_**: This teletype was written one year after the Senate Church Committee and House Pike Committee began investigating domestic surveillance and domestic propaganda performed by CIA, FBI and NSA in 1975. Despite knowing it was being investigated for abuses, the CIA still wrote in 1976 that U.S. citizens’ investigations into UAP would provide value to its own intelligence collection activities, possibly indicating the Agency was considering further abuses to monitor civilian UAP groups. **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_160 ### Event 38420 (04473F7E) **Date:** 4/30/1976 **End date:** 5/1/1976 **Description:** The Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal is launched at a specially convened conference of the American Humanist Association.

Night was falling, the sky was cloudy, the weather was warm and stormy. Suddenly he saw about fifty small beings, frog-like. They were standing, some facing him, others in profile. They did not seem to be aware of the witness's presence. They were green, did not seem to be wearing a suit, their arms were hanging down their body and reached halfway down their legs. Their hands were webbed like frogs. Their head seemed to be wearing a mask or a diving suit with two big red eyes (diameter 10 cm) resembling road signaling lights. Their size was about 1 m 15, their build average. They were making no gesture. The witness immediately turned around and went back immediately to his brother's and told him about his adventure. (M.

(Erich ZURCHER: "Les apparitions d'humanoïdes" - ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 230) The witness's attention was drawn to the red glows of the eyes, so he immediately turned around. Finally, as he was leaving, he saw on his left, about 3 or 4 meters away from him, another one of these creatures, identical to the previous ones, also totally motionless. The witness was very scared and, in panic, quickly fled the scene.

He heard a voice telling him: "We will come to get you on May 4, 1976 at 7 o'clock in the morning, at Mata Burro (a passage connecting the two sides of a fault) of a farm. He was indeed at the Agropecuaria Planalto livestock farm on May 4. He disappeared at 7 o'clock in the morning. His entourage, who had not taken his first warning very seriously, began to search for him alone, then asked for the help of the police. (...) He was located at 6 pm by an army plane 50 km from the place where he had disappeared; he had a broken ankle and could no longer speak. (...) When he regained his speech a week later, he said he had been taken aboard a craft and that on his return he had broken his ankle by jumping from a height of 4 meters, the craft that was bringing him back not being able to descend any lower to drop him off.

Going to bed he put on the radio, which he usually did to fall asleep to music. Around 2 o'clock in the morning, there were a lot of crackles in the radio, which Trevor first attributed to the poor quality of his device. Then his dog, a German shepherd, started barking. Trevor got up to see the reason for this agitation. Through the glass door in his room, he saw part of his garden, where someone of average stature (1 m 75) was in a silver suit, wearing a dark visor helmet, and a box of 30 x 30 cm attached to the chest, by straps. The box bore an inscription. The apparition had normal proportions. So Trevor went out with the dog, but the creature also advanced towards Trevor, which made him turn back quickly. Through the window he saw the creature rise, although it had no motorized device, but a little higher in the sky a cigar-shaped object was waiting for it and it entered it. The cigar was silver and a red light came out of the back, a green light was above it. The object was above the trees to the west and when the occupant had entered it, it left in the direction of the north. **Reference:** Keith Baskerfield - TUFOIC **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2918 ### Event 38472 (3813611C) **Date:** 5/31/1976 **Time:** 02:00 **Location:** DAW PARK, SOUTH AUSTRALIA **Description:** 1.7M man / silver suit / yard.

Some 80 feet away near the Pont du Martinet bridge she sees an orange light in the form of a “dome.” She experiences fear and covers her face with her hands. After what seems a few seconds, the light disappears. Driving home upset and afraid, she misses a familiar sign and drives a mile out of her way. When she arrives home, it is 4:00 a.m. Under hypnosis on July 22 \(repeated on August 18\), she tells of meeting two waist-high dwarves with large eyes, dressed in black overalls. They carry her toward the light, which she enters through an iron door. Inside a high, round room, they place her on a table, putting handcuffs on er hands and feet. After an examination, she is returned outside and the craft departs straight up noiselessly. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[L’Etrange Rencontre d’Hélène Guiliana,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/France/Ouranos/Ouranos%20-%20Nouvelle%20Serie%20-%20no%2018%20-%201er%20trim%201977%20%28Scan%20CEPS%20%2B%20AAMT%29.pdf)” Ouranos, new ser. 18 \(Jan./Mar. 1977\): 5–7; “Foreign Forum,” IUR 1, no. 2 \(December 1976\): 10 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5281 ### Event 38502 (7A6D5F0C) **Date:** 6/11/1976 **Description:** Pizancon, France - Driving home at 1 a.m., Helene Giuliana, age 20, found that the engine of her car had stopped and the headlights went out.

They initially had several hours of missing time, but were able to recall their experience through the aid of hypnotic regression. They recalled that there were three 5.0 to 5.5 foot tall humanoids, matching the description of short Grey humanoids, wearing helmets. They were given physical exams and communicated with via telepathy. They had body marks and rashes subsequent to their encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard Sigismonde, CUFOS field investigation report dated July 12, 1976; UNICAT database, case # 197, citing Richard Sigismonde; David F.

At the time, a member of my family was the victim of a serious accident that inflicted severe burns all over his body. He lay in a critical state between life and death, enduring terrible suffering. The father and mother of this person were at my parents' house that evening, expressing their faith in God as to the outcome of this misfortune. This pitiful scene, of this father and this mother, confronted with this terrible accident, had truly moved me. The atmosphere becoming unbearable, I decided to take my friend home. All along the way, an inner tearing weighed on me more and more. Was reality only the result of random events, without order or purpose, where human existence would be fortuitous and without finality? Faced with this existential anguish, from the depths of my being, while looking at the starry sky, a question arose: if there is an order, a purpose, something that guides creation, making us something other than miserable beasts, give me a sign? \(In short, the kind of question we all ask ourselves at least once in our lives\). As incredible as it may seem, as soon as I finished my request, a luminous disc, or a globe, of a size larger than the full [Moon](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/Moon.html), crossed a good portion of the sky \(about 60° on an arc of 180°\), in just 2 to 3 s. The disc seemed to be at about the same altitude as that taken by commercial transport airliners, about 10,000 m. These details give the object a considerable size and speed. I quickly alerted my friend so that she could look at this disc, of pale phosphorescent green color, crossing the zenith at a phenomenal speed. She had just enough time to see it disappear, leaving behind a trail of multicolored particles. This myriad of particles persisted for about a minute after the disappearance of the object, giving us the opportunity to observe attentively the trail of multicolored points slowly fading. We were both stunned, as you can imagine. The surprise was even greater for me, since the manifestation answered the expression of a sincere desire!

He speeds up to 90 mph toward a crossroad where he can pull off the highway. The object catches up to within 165–250 feet and its light strikes his car, the engine and lights going out immediately. He guides the coasting vehicle to the road shoulder, gets out, and catches a glimpse of the object as it disappears behind the horizon. It resembles a glider with a ray of light coming from it that swings back and forth as it passes his car. It makes a slight whistling sound and appears to be about 50 feet long. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UFO Rapporter Danmark,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Denmark/UFO%20Nyt%20%28SUFOI%29/1976/UFO%20Nyt%20-%20No%205%20sep-okt%201976.pdf)” UFO-Nyt, 1976 no. 5 \(Sept./Oct. 1976\): 186–187; Herbert S.

His driver Francisco Esteves was driving. They were heading to Galdar. (...) Doctor Padron was the first to spot, at about ten meters from the road, a large, luminous globe the size of a three-story building, perfectly circular, of a gray-bluish color. It was transparent, as the two men had the impression of seeing the stars through the craft. The object was a few meters above the ground. The witnesses distinguished two human-like silhouettes in the center of the object and these beings could have been 1.8 meters tall. They were wearing brightly red clothing. Their faces had a distinctly human aspect, in the sense that their complexion and appearance resembled those of the men from here. They were wearing a kind of fabric band around their head, in the manner of a turban, which concealed their ears (...) and which was radiating a luminous halo or aureole. The most curious thing were the hands of these creatures. They were a kind of pointed stumps ending in wings that the beings were slowly moving as if they were hands. (...) The creatures were busy with feathery appendages on what could have been a dashboard. (...) While the two witnesses continued their observation, the car radio went off and at the same time they felt an intense cold sensation while the outside temperature was very mild. Meanwhile, the sphere began to rise slowly and it seemed to grow bigger as it gained altitude. (...) (Jean FERGUSON: "The Humanoids..." - ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p.41, 42) About fifty serious witnesses including a doctor and three astronomers, suddenly saw, around 10 pm, an enormous transparent sphere of light blue color, through which one could see the stars, descending towards them until it remained hovering about one meter above the ground. Inside this sphere one could see two strange characters, with big bright eyes, wearing red suits and seeming to be busy in front of some kind of dashboard, as if they were trying to repair something that wasn't working and without paying attention to all the witnesses who were looking at them with curiosity. Finally, after hovering above the ground for a few minutes, the mysterious craft took off and disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. **Reference:** Maurice CHATELAIN: "The Messengers of the Cosmos" - Laffont 1980, p. 177, 178 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2921 ### Event 38527 (94D3632D) **Date:** 6/22/1976 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Launch of *Saliout 5*.

The taxi radio cuts out. Inside the light, which is actually like a transparent soap bubble, they see some panels and two enormous beings on a platform. The humanoids are some 9–10 feet tall, wear black diving helmets and red tight- fitting coveralls, and are moving levers about. Their hands are enclosed in black cones. The backs of their heads are disproportionately large, and their legs are short. The taxi driver switches the headlights on, and the UFO rises as a bluish gas is emitted from a tube and expands the size of the sphere to a 20-story building. The driver turns the car around and goes to a nearby house. The inhabitants say their TV set just blacked out. They continue watching through a window. When the sphere stops expanding, they hear a high-pitched whistle and the object speeds off to the northwest. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** J.

It is transparent with a bluish-white hue. The crew of the corvette Atrevida watches the object for 40 minutes, during which time a foreign tourist takes a photo. 400 miles to the south, the crew of the ship Osaka Bay also sees the luminous phenomena in the shape of a sphere. Maj. Antonio Munáiz Ferro-Sastre investigates the sightings for the Spanish Air Force and rejects the hypothesis that the light is from a naval missile launch.

The taxi's radio stopped working and the witnesses felt very cold. Inside the sphere, which was transparent, they saw two humanoids about three meters tall, wearing reddish, tight-fitting clothing. The driver switched on a spotlight and pointed it at the object, which rose up about 30 feet and emitted a bluish gas. It then grew as large as a 20-story building, though the two humanoids and their control panels remained their original size. After a few minutes, the huge object flew away, giving off a whistling sound. People in a nearby house reported that their TV had stopped working during the sighting. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 412, citing FSR, Vol. 23, No. 3 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3605 ### Event 38534 (89192BCA) **Date:** 6/22/1976 **Description:** In the town of Galdar on the island of Las Palmas also in the Canary Islands, at 10:30 p.m., an electric-blue semi-transparent sphere with two tall entities inside was seen hovering for 20 minutes. The object then changed size enormously, growing in size to the equivalent of a twenty-story building. On that same night a photograph of another UFO was taken near Maspalomas on the neighboring island of Tenerife. A close encounter with a UFO emitting beams of light also occurred earlier in Bothwell, Tasmania around 7:30 p.m. local time. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** FSR, November 1976, p. 33; FSR, October 1977, p. 7; ACOS Bulletin, December 1976, p.24; ABC, June 27, 1976 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3606 ### Event 38535 (A468A732) **Date:** 6/23/1976 **Location:** BRAZIL, Aricanduva **Description:** (Translated from French) Around 11:30 PM, José Alves Coutinho, 18 years old, was returning home after evening classes. Suddenly he saw in the sky a very bright light coming towards him and stopping a few meters in front of him. He tried to run away but felt paralyzed in place. The light dimmed and a small being with a big head, big eyes, pig-like nostrils, a small mouth, big ears and a completely bald skull emerged from it. José instinctively moved towards this strange being, felt himself lifted off the ground higher and higher until he was floating above the electric poles and lost consciousness. When he came to his senses he was lying on a table inside an enormous unknown craft that seemed to be 200 meters long. He was surrounded by 9 humanoids, 3 of them female. On a screen they showed him his parents and his fiancée who were looking for him everywhere, believing him lost forever. The humanoids explained to him that on their planet there were no sexual relationships and that children were created in laboratories for specific functions in their society. (...) He lost consciousness again and when he came to his senses he was lying in a bed in the hospital of Tatuape, a nearby town of Aricanduva. He learned that he had been missing for 24 hours and his father had finally found him lying in the garden behind his house in a very bad state. (...) The ballpoint pens he had in his pocket had become radioactive.

It is bald, has no eyebrows, and wears a tight one-piece bluish-gray suit with an emblem on its chest. Coutinho rises into the air toward a huge cigar-shaped object, in which he undergoes an abduction experience. Coutinho is still missing the next morning. A friend finds his books and notebooks scattered on the street and brings them to his parents. A police search fails to find him. In the evening of June 24, Coutinho is discovered lying on the steps of the garden door in a semiconscious state. He is cold as if he has been there some time. He is later revived at a nearby hospital. The police officer who carries him to the ambulance later feels a strong irritation in his arms.

After calming her down and comforting her, her mother listened to her story. She had seen an object land in a field near the house. Terrified but fascinated, looking through the hole in the hedge, she saw two people in silver clothes come out of the object and start arranging various equipment on the ground. These people were small and "angular" and had big pink eyes. Gaynor thinks it was a man and a woman. The craft they had come out of was a little over 10 meters long and less than 2 meters high. Around the craft there was a band of yellow windows, and on top of the object there was a flashing light in the shape of a box. When after a big half hour the object flew away, it made a high-pitched buzzing sound. Gaynor told her mom she was cold and very scared, because she was sure the two people had seen her. **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDEL: "The World's Greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

Leonard](http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/leonard%5Fgeorge%5Fh) publishes Somebody Else Is on the Moon, which records his observations, drawings, and NASA photos of lunar pipes, conduits, gears, gas nozzles, flares, huge rigs for sifting through dust, hovering vehicles, odd lights, and electromagnetic towers on the lunar surface—all of it indicating alien mining operations. Leonard argues that NASA secretly knows of alien activity on the Moon. It is possible that Leonard has written the book as a spoof. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** George H.

The tips of each wing appear to be resting on the discs, and its propellors are not turning. The three objects pass overhead and move beyond the hill behind him. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Michael D.

The vehicle's lights and engine failed, and the car's interior began to feel very hot. A red light beam struck the road in front of car, and it was then that they saw a 40-foot wide, scallop-shell shaped object sitting on legs. The craft had windows, and through the windows they could see seven-foot tall entities inside that had big eyes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1634, citing Jean Ferguson **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4692 ### Event 38647 (FEB32E91) **Date:** 8/6/1976 **Location:** Canada, Parc de la Gaspésie **Description:** (Translated from French) Freddy Chiasson recounts: "I was crossing the Parc de la Gaspésie in a thick fog. It was then that something very strange happened. A very bright red beam, coming from the sky, pierced the fog and began to sweep the road in front of the car at the same speed we were driving (...) It had well-defined contours and its point of impact on the asphalt in front of us formed a perfect circle of about fifteen centimeters. (...) The light accompanied us for a few kilometers. (...) Then suddenly, in a curve, this beam began to rise towards the sky in sections. Large sections, however. (...) But just as the light of the beam was almost completely gone, my youngest son showed us on the side of a mountain to our left, a rather intense glow. (...) This glow had something really unnatural about it: there was thick fog, and this glow was of an unbearable whiteness. (...) It stopped above the road, far enough in front of us for me to have time to brake and stop. (...) We got out of the car. My wife complained of having a very bad headache. We had aspirin in the car and I went to get it for her. (...) We decided to go to this device to see what it was. We quickly covered the distance that separated us. As soon as we were close enough, we were very surprised to see an object resting on feet. It had the shape of a scallop shell and it took up more than the width of the road. (...) about twelve meters in diameter and five meters in height. The very solid hull seemed to me to be made of dull metal. The glow seemed to come from square windows like those of a boat and arranged around the object. (...) The silence was impressive, except for a dull noise at regular intervals as if two pieces of wood had been rubbed together. (...) We approached our faces to the openings which were large enough, a little less than a meter square and the more we approached the more the light seemed to diminish. We were able to look inside. My wife gave one of those screams! It was a scream of fear. I followed her finger, because she wanted to show me something. Through the window which seemed to me to be made of soft material, I saw a massive face with large, round, fixed eyes. (...) We ran towards the car. (...) I tried to start the car, but nothing moved. I felt feverish. (...) After a few minutes, my sons and I decided to go out again, my wife tried to hold us back, but we went out anyway. I followed my sons. (...) We were still ten steps away when two beams of low intensity and similar to the one that had preceded us on the road appeared. They were distinct and perfectly oval with the same diameter from beginning to end. The two beams came from behind the device. They were of a bluish-greenish hue. (...) The two beams of light approached and Morris shouted "There are two!" I wiped my eyes because I was crying. I saw my two sons standing stiff in front of me. That's when I "saw" them properly. They turned off their beams. They were not beautiful. They did not move, I looked at their eyes: terrible eyes, round, fixed. They wore a kind of policeman's outfit, but more fitted. No hat and a bald head. They must have been about 2.10 m tall because they were taller than Morris who is 1.80 m. (...) We were like frozen. All this time I wanted to vomit. (...) Then Rony turned on his heels and started running towards the car. I followed him. (...) In the car I vomited again, then I felt better. I wanted to back up, but the car wouldn't start. In front of us there was an unbearable light and all four of us had to bend down as low as possible because we felt a dying heat. My wife started to pray. The heat became unbearable. Then it gradually dissipated. I tried to start and to our great relief, the car left. I drove slowly. There was nothing on the road anymore. We felt unbearable itching that lasted about ten hours."

The beam paces ahead of them for several miles, then collapses and withdraws upwards. A dazzling white light then approaches and stops ahead. Strong heat builds up in the car, so the father stops the vehicle. The headlights and radio fail, and the engine dies. All four get out and walk toward the object, which now appears as a scallop-shaped craft on landing legs, stretching across the road. The wife notices a massive “face” looking at them. Two 7-foot tall beings are apparently floating near the UFO, dressed in close-fitting, khaki-brown suits. The witnesses flee back into the car. The object moves away in a flash of light and burst of heat. The car starts again. All four suffer from itching for the next 10 hours. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jean Ferguson, Les Humanoides: Les Cerveaux qui Dirigent les Soucoupes Volantes, Leméac, 1977; NICAP, “[Gaspesian Park,](http://www.nicap.org/reports/760806quebec%5Freport.htm) [Quebec: Humanoids/E-M Case](http://www.nicap.org/reports/760806quebec%5Freport.htm)”; Michael D. Swords, “Messing Around with the Force,” IUR 31, no. 4 \(March 2008\): 29–30 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5306 ### Event 38653 (242B6C51) **Date:** 8/6/1976 **Description:** At around ten o'clock in the morning Freddy Chiasson, age 52, his wife Claire, and their two sons Morris and Rony were driving across Gaspesian Park, Quebec, Canada in a thick fog, heading toward Matane. Suddenly, a beam of red light coming from the sky struck the road ahead of their car. Despite the thick fog, this beam had very sharp edges, and formed a circle 6 inches in diameter where it struck the road. It paced their car for several miles, always staying the same distance ahead, then broke up into several “sections” which shut up into one another, like a collapsible telescope, and rose back upwards in a coherent light fashion. They then saw a dazzling white light to their left, which the witness estimated to be a half mile away. This light approached them and stopped over the road some distance ahead of them. Mr. Chiasson stopped the car. They then felt a very strong sensation of heat, and the car’s headlights and radio went out. Next the car's motor died, and it could not be re-started. They could smell a peculiar “acid” odor that irritated their nasal passages.

They got out of their car and walked through the fog toward the fuzzy, intense light ahead. When they reached it, they found that it came from an oval, scallop shell-like object that was wider than the road and resting on legs. It was about 40 feet wide, 15 feet high, and made of a dull metal with four square circumferential windows three feet wide, out of which light was pouring. They could hear a dull sound, like wood rubbing on wood at regular intervals. Mrs. Chiasson approached the windows and let out a scream when she confronted a large face in the window with big round eyes. The sight made Mr. Chiasson feel like vomiting. All four family members ran back to their car, which still could not be started. After a few minutes the two youths again walked through the thinning fog toward the object, followed by their father. When they had got to within ten paces they could see that the light inside had gone out. Two beams of blue-green light appeared, coming from behind the UFO toward the witnesses. Mr. Chiasson felt sick, his eyes watered, and he vomited. Then the light rays went out, and they saw two beings standing or floating beside the object. They were about seven feet tall, bald, and looked very ugly to the witnesses because their appearance filled them with feelings of terror. They wore brown khaki uniforms, like a police officer's but closer fitting, and were holding tubes about a yard long. The beings were stocky with wide shoulders, which were “too high” and round bodies. Their square-chinned, straw yellow faces had big, round eyes without eyelids and thick red lips. Neither Mr. Chiasson nor his sons saw noses or ears, and they may not have had any. They stood still, but turned their heads as if examining the witnesses. After this confrontation which seemed to last for minutes, the three male witnesses fled back to the car, where Mr. Chiasson vomited again. After this there was a burst of light in front of them followed by another wave of unbearable heat that made them all crouch down in the car. This intensified for a short while, and then gradually passed. When they got up they could see that there was nothing ahead of them, and the fog had practically dissipated. The car could be started at this point. At the place where the UFO had been there was a slight luminous vapor. For about ten hours afterwards, all four of the Chiassons suffered from intense itching. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It stops above a group of 3 people: 2 old women, Anita and Geralda, and an illiterate farmer of 30 years old, Cicilio Higinio Pereira. Terrorized, the trio flees. One of the farmer's sandals tears, so he kneels down to try to repair it because the stones of the path hurt his foot. Suddenly \(he will later tell the ufologist Hulvio Alexio\) the object is above him. It looks like a huge open umbrella. The light it emits becomes so intense that the smallest detail of the ground becomes visible. The UFO descends and the farmer has the impression that he would just have to raise his arm to touch it. Imploring God and his saints, Cicilio rolls on the ground in the hope of escaping the luminous apparition. But it follows him and he feels momentarily lifted off the ground. A cold wind accompanied by a buzzing and a smell of sulfur envelops him. The UFO still hovers for a moment, enough time for Cicilio to glimpse inside - through a "door" that briefly opens - 2 or 3 silhouettes of a little more than 1 m tall. Then, in a few seconds, the UFO disappears. Getting up as best he can, Cicilio goes home, dazed and shaken by nausea. He spends the rest of the night vomiting. From that day on, the illness never leaves him. Unable to do anything, he mostly stays in bed, prey to extreme weakness and deep apathy. A little more than 2 months after his encounter with the UFO - which he nicknamed, for an obscure reason, "the train" - and despite a brief remission of the illness, he dies. His family immediately burns the body, as no doctor practices in the area. In the absence of an autopsy, it is therefore impossible to determine the cause of death. However, exhaustion and vomiting suggest the action of a fatal radiation for the man.

She wakes up her husband Francisco, who goes to the window and sees an object with six reddish lights that appears to be on another wing of the hotel. One of its lights seems to be directed straight into their bedroom. They go back to sleep. In the morning, Francisco looks out the window and finds there is no hotel wing where he thought the UFO was. He realizes that the object must have been huge to masquerade as two floors of the hotel. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Ignacio Darnaude, “[Spies in the Supernumerary Attic?](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 3 \(October 1977\): 20–21 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5310 ### Event 38665 (F4D7164A) **Date:** 8/10/1976 **Description:** Sr. Francisco Tejero, age 44, his wife Teresa Lacave, and their friends Jose Valles and wife Pilar Osborne Domecq were on holiday at the Hotel Da Balaia in Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal and had gone into the hotel bar for something to eat at around 5:00 p.m. They saw two men and a woman there who were engaged in a discussion, but at the same time seemed to be watching the witness’s party most intently. The two men were short in stature, “with European features but very dark.” They seemed to be between 40 and 50 years old, yet their hair was far too white in color for being middle aged. Suddenly two strange flashes of light came from the direction of this mysterious trio, like the flashbulbs of a camera, and although they observed no camera, the two Spanish couples had the strong impression that someone had just photographed them, perhaps with the aid of a minature, concealed camera. What's more, the two couples began to feel an indescribable malaise, so they quickly finished their drinks and left the bar to go have dinner. Later that night Teresa awoke with a start, and to her great astonishment she observed that on the curtains of the hotel window (which was open on this hot night) there was a very vivid luminous rectangle, “like a TV screen.” She immediately thought of the strange “spies” in the bar, and her next thought was that maybe they had entered the bedroom and were going to rob them or do them some kind of mischief. She turned and shook her husband vigorously. Her husband jumped out of bed and went to the window. In his account he said: “It was as though I was in some sort of trance, as if I had been hypnotized by someone. Outside, all was utterly, infinitely peaceful.” He was moving around like an automaton. He looked out the window and saw a rectangular thing, with six reddish lights on it, resting on another wing of the hotel which made an angle with the main face on which their window lay. All was dark underneath the “thing”, and nothing else was to be seen. He remained there motionless for awhile, gazing at the structure or “attic” with a sense of irritation because one of the lights was directed right into their bedroom. He then turned around and went back to sleep. In the morning they were astonished to find out that there was no other wing of the hotel running out at an angle. There was no building, or structure of any kind whatsoever. There was simply no “attic.” Their rooms were on the top floor of the hotel. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ignacio Darnaude Rojas-Marcos, FSR, October 1977, p. 20 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4825 ### Event 38666 (66FBAA72) **Date:** 8/11/1976 **Time:** 12:10 **Location:** MIDDLETOWN, CT **Description:** 50+cops.

After 3–5 minutes, the object comes closer and takes a fixed position off the left wing. The object is oval-shaped and very bright yellow in its center with an indistinct flame-orange boundary. Suddenly the Piper goes into two rapid 360° clockwise rolls from which the pilot must recover manually. He discovers that he has dropped about 500 feet during the roll-and- recovery maneuver. When he next checks his instrument panel, he discovers that his magnetic compass is spinning in a clockwise direction so fast that he can’t read the number in its square window. Looking outside again, he sees that the UFO is still behind him, suggesting that he has lost the same amount of altitude. The pilot climbs back to his cruise altitude and calls on the radio to flight control at Hannover airport. The air traffic controller tells him that the radar shows both his airplane and another object nearby. The controller says that an aircraft will be sent to investigate. Little more than 4 minutes later, two USAF F-4 Phantom jets arrive on either side of him travelling 400–500 mph. The jet on the right side is slightly lower, closer, and ahead of the jet on the left. The pilot is certain they are American planes. Just as the jets arrive, the UFO accelerates forward and then upward at about a 30° angle above the horizontal and turns right, passing in front of his aircraft. It quickly outdistances its pursuers and is out of sight in a matter of seconds. The compass eventually returns to normal operation after the UFO departs. The pilot is interrogated after his landing by “military men.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Richard F.

Anderson, who was riding a lawn mower, saw by its powerful headlights a figure first standing, and then running on the golf course, so he pursued him on his riding mower. He saw that the man’s helmet lit up and his belt first start glowing reddish, but then glowed green, yellow, pink, and orange, while the antenna on his helmet flashed bright red. Anderson had now closed to within ten feet of him, and could see that he was about seven feet tall and had a long nose. Suddenly, an energy beam shot down in front of the mower, causing it to stop, and the figure next turned around and looked at Anderson. Within a few seconds a small “scout ship” descended and opened a 3 foot by 3 foot door, which had flashing panels of light inside. The tall figure floated up into this doorway, and “the craft glowed bright blue, red, and orange and then took off.” The footprints of the man were measured to be 20 inches long, 8 inches wide, and five feet apart where he had been running. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Keta Steebs, Sturgeon Bay Advocate, March 31, 1977; David F.

According to the four men, hypnotic regression allows them to recall being taken aboard a circular UFO and being “probed and tested by four-fingered beings with almond- shaped eyes and languid limbs.” In a later interview by the St. John Valley Times, Charles Rak changes his story, saying he did see strange lights during the camping trip, but the abduction part of the story is a total fabrication, and he went along with the narrative for financial gain. The other three members of the group stand by the abduction story. According to Jim Weiner, “Jack, Charlie, and I, after all these years, are still in agreement with the Eagle Lake event as we \(three\) remember it. We also accept the results of the hypnotic regression sessions and subsequent polygraph tests as supportive of an abduction scenario.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Raymond E.

Above this ball were many luminous points that twinkled forming a half circle. The phenomenon was observed at a low altitude. Then between Ernolsheim and Monswiller they observed a white-yellow ball emitting a bluish and reddish light 2 or 3 m above their car, the same phenomenon was observed above the passenger's house by two young people and by the parents. Around 1 o'clock, the gendarmes of Saverne, alerted, observed it as well. Adjudant Le Martret and gendarme Paichelier of the Bouxwiller brigade on patrol stopped at the intersection of the D 105 and saw in the direction of Mulhausen a triangle from which bursts of fire escaped from the base which lit up and took the shape of a ball, changes occurring every 3 to 4 seconds. Gendarme Paichelier, after 15 minutes of observation, took out a Dacora camera and took two photos (they will be completely black). (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 628, 629) Around 01:00 an object surrounded by multicolored rings approached the car of the two witnesses, 4 or 5 m from the ground and followed them when they made a U-turn. It moved silently and changed shape: from the egg to the elongated cigar becoming dazzling.

Anderson stopped his lawn mower. Two figures emerged from a door in the craft and floated down to the ground on a “band of light.” The craft then took off. Both figures carried flashlights 3 feet long. They came up to Mr. Anderson and one of the beings extended his hand, which the witness shook. He said, “We come in peace. I am Sunar from Jupiter. This is Treena; she comes from Saturn.” The witness shook Treena’s hand while Sunar allegedly explained that they were here on a scientific mission, gathering specimens. Treena took off her outer spacesuit, and appeared in a close fitting, light green one-piece suit; the top was of “some glistening metallic material,” but the pants were dull. She also wore slippers. Her skin was light tan, her eyes blueish gray, and she had shoulder length hair. She was 5’2” tall. Sunar did most of the talking; he had copper colored skin, and said he was over 200 years old. The witness was told that the man he had chased on a previous closer encounter was Muton, from Mars, and that Sunar had once met Baha’u”llah, the founder of the Baha’i religion. After about 20 minutes of conversation, Treena put her spacesuit back on, and gave Anderson an envelope made of yellow nylon cloth, which she asked him not to open for nine days. The craft returned, and the two UFOnauts ascended to it on a beam of light. The craft was estimated to be 30 feet wide at the bottom, and 60 feet high. As soon as daylight allowed, the witness photographed the footprints of Treena and Sunar in the dirt. Later, upon opening the envelope, the witness found a gold-colored, engraved amulet inside. There is no mention of what he did with it, or whether he still has it. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

When he looked out the window he saw a deep orange luminous globe blinking on and off and slowly zigzagging in the sky. He watched it for 10-15 minutes, feeling a “pull” from it. Then when it blinked he suddenly found himself inside it, where two greenish beings sat with their arms over a table with little black knobs. They were busy manipulating the knobs while a third being stood in front of the boy. The third entity was about an inch taller than the boy. The beings appeared not to have any eyes, nose, mouth, or neck, and instead of fingers they had pincers like a crayfish. They had two small projections on the top of their heads. Their legs did not end in feet, and when they walked it sounded like "a wooden legged pirate.” The skin on their cheeks and arms was bumpy and rough like an alligator, and there were scales on their bodies. They did not utter words, but “hummed like Morse code.” After what seemed like about five seconds the boy found himself back in his house, and ran upstairs. Later that same night, at about five a.m., his 11-year old sister awoke and saw a blue light outside her window. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Dr. Ron Westrum, CUFOS case files, report dated November 12, 1976; David F.

He described everything he saw onboard the craft as very quaint and simple, not at all sophisticated looking. He also saw what appeared to be a star-map on a wall. Inside the craft he met human-like occupants of different statures. Some were over two meters tall, but others were much shorter than that. The women were generally shorter than the men; they were described as beautiful and well built, wearing form-fitting outfits, which seemed metallic in texture. He traveled onboard the “spacecraft” for what seemed like a short distance, and did not go to another planet. He was shown a guest room where he was allowed to sleep comfortably. Later, he was given four crackers to eat and a small glass of a substance resembling wine. He was told that what he ate would last for four days. Among many things the humanoids told him was that they believed “in a higher being.” **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He turned around and saw a huge, bright, multicolored sphere of light rising from below the treeline. When one of the men shined a flashlight at the object, it began to approach their canoe slowly. A tube-shaped beam of light was emitted from the object and hit the water. The object and the beam of light began approaching the four men and all four of them began to paddle frantically toward shore, trying to get away. At this point they lost all conscious memory of what happened next. Later, under hypnosis all four remembered being levitated up from their canoe and into the hovering craft via a hollow tube-like beam of light. Inside the they encountered several short dark gray-colored humanoids with large oval-shaped heads and huge, black, almond-shaped eyes. They all wore metallic uniforms and were described as somewhat insect like. The men were made to undress and sit on a plastic like bench. The humanoids then looked into each of the men’s eyes and mouths with a pencil size rod with a light on its tip. Then each was made to lie on an exam table where each was examined with several handheld and large scanning machine like instruments. Samples of bodily fluids were taken from all four men. Later, after several hours, they were floated back down into their canoe. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Raymond E.

A witness in Bethel, Alaska, hears a high-pitched whine and looks out at the tundra where a small \(2.5–3-inch diameter\) white beach ball seems to be moving just above the ground. After a while it tilts so that she can see it is a disc with a rotating “platinum-shiny” area in the middle. The object arcs upward, then back down, and seems to disappear into the ground, whereupon the whine stops. She can find no ground markings. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Michael D.

As he approaches the house, he spots a flying object in the shape of a deep dish that rotates slowly counterclockwise. The upper part of the object is flattened, and a luminous light on top varies according to the speed of the craft’s movement and vacillates from red \(high speed\) to orange, from yellow to light green, and finally to white. When the craft is still, the intensity of the light diminishes. The object itself is gray in color and nearly 10 feet in diameter. The UFO moves toward Klein, passes 33 feet above his head, and then hovers in front of him about 16 feet from the ground. A bright, red light shines from the center of its base, through which three small beings about 3 feet tall slowly descend. The humanoids form a line across the entire width of the road and prevent him from passing as the UFO moves behind him some 33 feet away and 26 feet above the ground, close to some trees. The beings open their arms in an apparent blocking gesture, communicating with each other in an unfamiliar language. Klein draws his knife and tosses it toward the beings; it whizzes through the air, but at one point appears to float before falling to another spot. Each being wears a staff at its waist. The crew member in the center reacts by waving his staff toward Klein. The staff fires a beam of bluish-white light that hits Klein in the left thigh. He faints on being struck and is later found by his neighbors. His leg is paralyzed, so he goes to Azambuja hospital in Brusque, where doctors find no sign of injury. He recovers after a few days. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Os](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20136-145%20-%201981-1982.PDF) [Tripulantes da Serra do Moura, Novo Trento, Brusque, Estado de Santa Catarina,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20136-145%20-%201981-1982.PDF)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 136/145 \(Sept. 1981/April 1982\): 10–12; Clark III 218–220; Luis Lopez, “[Quase 40 Anos Depois, Homem Relata](https://refletir24.rssing.com/chan-45623680/article1021-live.html) [Experiência com Extraterrestres em Brusque, SC,](https://refletir24.rssing.com/chan-45623680/article1021-live.html)” Novos Insólitos, May 12, 2016; Brazil 194–198 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5324 ### Event 38753 (9B085968) **Date:** 9/3/1976 **Location:** Fence Houses, Durham, England **Description:** 9:00 p.m. Two women, one 63 and the other an 18-year-old relative, are returning from a family visit in Fence Houses, Durham, England, when they see a peculiar object resting on a mound of earth in a section of mining wasteland. They walk toward it, feeling a sort of attraction, and see that it is an oval object about 3 feet high and 5 feet long and standing on chrome or steel runners. The main compartment is glasslike with an orange section on top. When they reach the object, they sense the wind and traffic noise have stopped. The older woman touches the glassy side, which feels warm. At this point two strange entities are seen within the craft with long white hair parted down the middle, large eyes, and claw-like hands. They are both the size of a large doll, perhaps 1–1.5 feet tall. Frightened, the two women hurry away, noting that the street noise has returned. The object then takes off at great speed, making a humming noise. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** William D.

After a while it tilted so that she could see that it was a disc with a rotating, shiny, platinum-colored area in the middle. The object arced upwards, then back down, and seemed to just disappear into the ground. As soon as it entered the ground, all sounds stopped. On inspection, she found no ground marks or evidence where it had disappeared. Following this incident by about a month, the same witness and a little dog were on her porch facing the area of the sighting. She went inside for a couple of minutes and the dog wandered off. She immediately began to search for her dog, following its tracks in the fresh snow, but she couldn’t find her. “It was snowing. And her little tracks went out there and she just disappeared? She weighed maybe five pounds max, so possibly some owl or something could have gotten her, but there wasn’t,,,any other disturbance in the snow.” Since these events the witness feels that she has had a few very unusual light-projecting experiences, which have resulted in vivid dreams or out of body experiences. The contents of her experiences are difficult to describe. She has the feeling of movement, and there are these enormously huge, very bright shining objects that are suspended in space, all around her. They are all different kinds of geometrical shapes and forms, but they are immense. She also has had the feeling like being in an invisible corridor that she is moving down. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Michael D Swords, “Unusual Experiences From the Timmerman Files”, International UFO Reporter, Summer 2002 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5604 ### Event 38755 (03453C68) **Date:** 9/3/1976 **Description:** At around 1:00 a.m. a woman was alone at her home in Ravenna, Italy when she heard a noise outside. When she looked out she could see an red oval-shaped object on the ground between two houses. Nearby were four or five small spheres. Standing in front of the ovoid object was a tall being, dressed in what appeared to be body armor and a helmet with a protuberance in the center. She was distracted for a moment and lost sight of the being, and when she looked back she saw the object take off at high speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It had a large glass like compartment in the center, and a bright orange dome on top. It was 5 feet long and 3.5 feet high. As the witnesses approached it, they noted that the wind and the traffic on a nearby road both seemed to stop, and they later discovered that their watches had stopped. One of the witnesses ran her hand over the object; it felt very smooth and warm. Suddenly two humanoid entities “the size of dolls” appeared beside it; they had long white hair parted down the middle, large eyes, and claw-like fingers. Apparently frightened by the witnesses, they put both hands up to their faces. The witnesses were not sure what happened next, but after experiencing a period of missing time the next thing they remember is that the object took off at great speed with a humming sound. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, FSR, April 1977, p. 3; David F.

The object had a rotating lower half and a bright light on top which seemed to change colors. The UFO flew over the witness, then came to a halt just ahead of him. It projected an intense beam of red light from its base. Inside this beam three small beings levitated slowly to the ground. The three small humanoids took up positions across the road, blocking Joao's path. The object then glided over to a clump of trees nearby. As the witness continued to walk, the three small beings spread out their arms in an obvious attempt to block him, while at the same time speaking in an unknown language. The witness threw a knife at the beings but it seems to strike an invisible wall. The being in the middle then pointed a rod like device at the witness from which a beam of bluish white light emerged. The witness apparently blacked out and was found later on the ground by his neighbors. The beings were described as heavy set and human like, wearing tight gray coveralls, and globular fishbowl helmets that covered their heads. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Walter Buhler, FSR, August 1982, p. 5; Richard F.

A flash of light illuminates the area, followed by a strange buzzing sound. He sees a bright object about 4 feet in diameter above him. The dog begins barking nonstop until it receives some type of shock, apparently from the craft, and flees in terror. The light goes out, and da Silva runs back to the bar and flattens himself against the outside wall. The object lights up again, scaring him, so he picks up a piece of wood and throws it at the object. The light goes out again and the buzzing ceases, only to be replaced by a hiss. He feels a blow to his shoulder and falls to the ground, then he runs toward his house with the object 10 feet above him. Cables and hooks descend from the UFO, accompanied by a small creature about 3 feet tall. Da Silva hits its shoulder, causing it to jump and fall, then gets into a fight with it for 15 minutes. Finally, the creature loops a cable around da Silva’s ankle and hoists him screaming into an opening on the craft. His brother-in-law hears him and sees him ascending. Da Silva manages to get loose from the cable and falls 20 feet into a plant. He runs to the house, bruised. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 1220–1221; Brazil 198–200 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5327 ### Event 38781 (A5229125) **Date:** 9/9/1976 **End date:** 9/10/1976 **Location:** Liangshan Cotton Mill south of Longwangmiao, Shandong, China **Description:** Around 3:00 p.m. A worker at the Liangshan Cotton Mill south of Longwangmiao, Shandong, China, sees a spherical object at 45° elevation about 9,800–13,000 feet away.

He goes outside to check on the circuit breaker and feels an electrical sensation. He looks up and sees an object 85 feet in diameter hovering above a TV antenna near the barn about 50 feet away. The main body of the craft is a disc shape, which appears to be rotating in a clockwise direction, with a large dome that remains stationary on top. The object makes little or no sound, and is silver or gray in color, except for the very bottom, which has a “porcelain” look about it. Two hook- like cables are hanging down. Pecha approaches until he is just under one edge. The UFO moves slowly away and retracts its cables. Two hatches open on either end, revealing a “spotlight.” He goes inside and wakes up his wife Lenda, who also sees the object. Pecha can now see two other objects over high-tension power lines a mile to the west, emitting light beams at the tops of the transmission towers. The first UFO is moving closer and passes over a neighbor’s house, shining a light on it. Frightened, Pecha grabs his two children and he and his wife speed away in their pickup. They stop at a friends’ house and draw their attention to the distant light. The encounter ends at 1:03 a.m. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Paul Cerny, “[UFO Hovers over California Farm,](http://ufohistoryfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/270C.pdf)” MUFON UFO Journal, no. 197 \(October 1976\): 3– 8; Center for UFO Studies, \[[case files](http://ufohistoryfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/270C.pdf)\]; “The UFO Finalist,” IUR 2, no. 1 \(January 1977\): 6–8; Clark III 294–296; Micah Hanks, “[Tentacles and Telephone Lines: The Colusa, California, UFO Incident of 1976,](https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2019/02/tentacles-and-telephone-lines-the-colusa-california-ufo-incident-of-1976/)” Mysterious Universe, February 22, 2019 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5329 ### Event 38791 (72BCC42B) **Date:** 9/10/1976 **Locations:** Moscow; London; Lithuania **Description:** 6:00–7:00 p.m. British European Airways Flight 831 from Moscow to London is cruising at 33,000 feet over Lithuania when a blinding, stationary light is seen on the starboard side of the airliner, apparently 10–15 miles away and 5,000–6,000 feet below. The light resembles a yellowish sodium vapor lamp and is too intense to view directly. It lights up the top of the cloud layer below. The pilot asks the Soviet authorities to identify the source, but they come back with a negative response, saying he should not ask questions. The light is visible for 10–15 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Aerial Observation of Intense Source of Light,](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC%5F0005515703.pdf)” CIA Foreign Intelligence Information Report, November 18, 1976 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5330 ### Event 38792 (159ACD19) **Date:** 9/10/1976 **Description:** Colusa, California. At 12:45 a.m. mechanic Bill Pecha and other household members noticed a complete electrical system failure in their mobile home. Next, stepping outside to check the circuit breakers, he felt static electricity and spotted a brightly lit, 150 foot domed disc-shaped object with a clockwise rotating rim hovering almost overhead, just 50-60 feet away. The object had a red light in front and other lights on either end, and the bright light that came from the bottom of the object dimmed when hovering. On the underside it had 6-8 dangling cables, and on each were two arms with hooks which retracted when Pecha stepped toward the object. The object retreated, moving slowly out over a field, with the cables still retracting. The white light underneath intensified and a cone of light was projected downward, but initially the beam was truncated before reaching the ground. The object maneuvered above a neighbor's house illuminating the ground with beams of light. Two other similar UFOs were seen in the distance casting blue light beams down onto power lines, and an arc of light was extending upward from the power lines to the objects. When the object shot away at high speed to the west, it lit up the foothills, then it rushed back over the neighbor's property again as the other two, more distant object sped away in different directions, and were gone in 30 seconds. The power came back on in Mr. Pecha's mobile home; the entire elapsed time of the close encounter was 9 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Colusa (CA) Sun-Herald, September 12, 1976; Brad Sparks, CUFOS files, report dated October 3, 1976; Paul C.

The telephone rings, and the caller identifies himself as vice president of the nonexistent New Jersey UFO Research Association. He wants to come and discuss the Oxford case. Hopkins consents, telling him to come right over. As soon as he switches on the back light, he sees a man in dark clothing walking up the porch stairs. Hopkins unthinkingly opens the door right away. The stranger is wearing a black derby, black jacket, black tie, white shirt, gray gloves, black trousers, and black shoes. The crease in his pants is razor sharp. The man never introduces himself but sits down and removes his hat. He is completely hairless, devoid of eyebrows and eyelashes, but his lips are a vivid red. The stranger speaks in a monotone. After Hopkins discusses what he knows about the David Stephens case, the man remarks, “That’s just what I thought,” and abruptly changes the subject. “You have two coins in your left pocket,” he says. Hopkins acknowledges he has a dime and a penny. The stranger tells him to take one out and hold it in his palm. He does and is shocked to find that its color has changed to bright silver, then light blue. It grows blurry and fuzzy and finally fades away in a vapor. The stranger says that no one else “on this plane will ever see that coin again.” The stranger then asks if he knew why [Barney Hill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney%5Fand%5FBetty%5FHill) died, saying “He died because he knew too much. He died because he had no heart, just as you have no coin.” He orders Hopkins to destroy all the audiotapes of Stephens’s hypnosis sessions, as well as any other UFO literature he has sitting around, or he will suffer the same fate as Barney Hill. The stranger gets up, speaking slowly, and says his energy is running low. He gets up slowly and walks down the porch steps one foot at a time. Hopkins sees a bright light outside, rushes to the kitchen window, and sees the light and the man are gone. About 90 minutes later, Mrs. Hopkins and two of their sons arrive home from a movie. He tells them what happened, and one of the sons finds a series of marks in the narrow driveway that look like a small tractor tread. They are gone the next day. Hopkins burns all his tapes, correspondence, and literature at the urging of his family. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Berthold Eric Schwartz, “[The Man-in-Black Syndrome, Part 1,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%204.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 4 \(January 1978\): 9–15; Berthold Eric Schwartz, “[The Man-in-Black Syndrome, Part 2,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2023%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 5 \(February 1978\): 22–25; Berthold Eric Schwartz, “[The Man-in-Black Syndrome, Part 3,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2023%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 6 \(April 1978\): 26–29; Clark III 863–864 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5331 ### Event 38802 (39E688CC) **Date:** 9/11/1976 **Location:** Little Britain, Ontario **Description:** Night.

Some of them call the nearby Mehrabad Airport, reaching night supervisor Houssain Pirouzi, who goes outside at 11:15 p.m. to look. With his binoculars, he sees a bright object flashing colored lights and changing positions at an altitude of 6,000 feet. Around 12:30 a.m., Pirouzi alerts the Iranian Air Force command post. Deputy Gen. Nader Yousefi also sees the object and scrambles an Air Force F-4 Phantom II interceptor piloted by Capt. Aziz Khani and 1stLt. Hossein Shokri from Shahrokhi Airbase \[now Hamadan Airbase\] to the west at 1:30 a.m. They close in on the object, but the jet’s radio and instruments give out. Only when Khani pulls away does functionality return. Squadron Cmdr. Parviz Jafari takes off in a second jet with 1stLt. Jalal Damirian in pursuit at 1:40 a.m. Some 27 miles from the UFO, Jafari picks the object up on radar, the return indicating something the size of a Boeing 707. Visually, it is flashing like a strobe with intense red, green, orange, and blue lights \(in a diamond shape\) so bright that Jafari cannot see its body. He approaches within 70 miles, then the object jumps 10° to the right, then twice again the same amount. Suddenly a smaller round object comes out of the large object and heads straight toward the interceptor at a high rate of speed. Jafari tries to fire an AIM-9 heat-seeking missile at it, but his weapons control panel malfunctions, as well as his radio and instruments. Jafari turns to the left to avoid an impact with the small object, which approaches to 4 miles distance, then stops. It returns to the large object, which emits another smaller object. Jafari is ordered back to the base, but the light follows him. During final approach, another object \(a thin rectangle with three lights\) appears at low altitude in front of his plane. Gen. Yousefi then orders Jafari to approach the light and get a look. When he is within 4 miles, the radio and instrument panel go out again. The light disappears from view after Jafari lands. Base Commander Gen. Abdulah Azerbarzin claims the complete investigation records are turned over to the US Air Force, which insists it only has one memo from USAF Lt. Col. Olin R. Mooy, who sat in on one of the pilot interviews. A US Defense Intelligence Agency evaluation rates the case High \(of major significance\). The sighting is apparently tracked by a US Defense Support Program satellite. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[1976 Tehran UFO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976%5FTehran%5FUFO%5Fincident) [incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976%5FTehran%5FUFO%5Fincident)”; NICAP, “[Iranian F-4 Phantom Jet Chase, Radar/Visual/E-M/IAD Signal](http://www.nicap.org/760919tehran%5Fdir.htm)”; “Foreign Forum,” IUR 1, no. 1 \(November 1976\): 2; “The U.S. Government and the Iran Case,” IUR 3, no. 1 \(January 1978\): 6–7; “Review of Iranian UFO Reports,” IUR/Frontiers of Science 3, no. 2 \(Jan./Feb. 1981\): 14–15; “[Now You See It, Now You](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1982-83%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV3.pdf) [Don’t!](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1982-83%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV3.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 3, no. 1 \(February 1982\): 3; Center for UFO Studies, \[[case documents](http://cufos.org/cases/1976%5F09%5F17%5FIR%5F07%5FTehran%5FPratt%5FMultWit-Radar.pdf)\]; Kim Hansen, “UFO Casebook,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, pp. 85–88; Don Berliner, with Marie Galbreath and Antonio Huneeus, UFO Briefing Document: The Best Available Evidence, Dell, 2000, [pp. 98–104](https://archive.org/details/ufobriefingdocum0000berl/page/98/mode/2up); Clark III 624–626; Kean, [pp. 86–92](https://archive.org/details/isbn%5F9780307716842/page/86/mode/2up)[,](https://archive.org/details/isbn%5F9780307716842/page/86/mode/2up) [149–150](https://archive.org/details/isbn%5F9780307716842/page/148/mode/2up); Swords 340–341; Good Above, [pp. 318–321](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/318/mode/2up), [497–500](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/496/mode/2up); Good Need, [pp. 302–303](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/302/mode/2up), [315–317](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/314/mode/2up); A.

The Iranian AF scrambled an American F-4 for intercept. As the F-4 was vectored towards the brilliant UFO, all communications and instrumentation were suddenly lost. As the pilot broke off pursuit, all aircraft functions returned to normal. A second F-4 that was scrambled began closing in on the UFO at greater than Mach 1 and was closing on the UFO at 150 nautical mph., but the UFO accelerated and stayed ahead of the F-4 (confirmed by Radar). Multi-colored flashing lights were visible on the UFO. The moment the F-4 pilot tried to lock an AIM-9 missile at the UFO he lost all weapons panel and communication control. The UFO launched two smaller UFOs, one of which began to follow the F-4. After evasive action by the F-4, the smaller UFO returned and united with the larger UFO. The other smaller UFO seemed to have landed on the ground so the pilot flew down to investigate it. The landed UFO appeared to be 12feet in diameter. As the pilot descended the light from the landed UFO went out and he lost sight of it. The DIA termed this sighting as “an outstanding report. This case is a classic which meets all the criteria necessary for a study of a UFO phenomenon.” And, “an inordinate amount of maneuverability was displayed by the UFOs.” **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** [Pea Research](https://www.academia.edu/9813787/GOVERNMENT_INVOLVEMENT_IN_THE_UFO_COVER_UP_CHRONOLOGY_based) (["Above Top Secret" by Timothy Good](https://archive.org/details/abovetopsecretwo00good/page/n7/mode/2up) p497, TEHRAN, B1-F p288, B1-G p72) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_691 **See also:** 10/2/72 **See also:** 9/20/76 ### Event 38823 (B26052C4) **Date:** 9/19/1976 **Location:** OLDEN, SOGN, NORWAY **Description:** Shiny UFO seen.

They were vectored in by ground radar, and the UFO was described as a brightly luminous domed disc the size of a Boeing 707. A small object was shot by the larger disc toward the plane. First, the aircrafts' inertial navigation systems fluctuated and their radio communications were lost. When the pilot of the first aircraft, Houssain Perouzi, tried to fire one of his missiles at the UFO, their jet lost control of all its instruments. The second jet just lost weapons control. The disc was changing colors and shape when first detected; it next engaged in a series of sharp maneuvers. A third object descended vertically and landed in a desert area. The entire incident lasted two hours. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, September 1976, p. 1; Richard H.

There were three or four on top of the object, three smaller yellow lights below that, and two at the bottom of the object that looked like portholes. The minimum distance to the object was one mile.

They immediately contacted the control tower because the UFO was hovering in front of them, but it then moved in another direction. The minimum distance to the object was only 200 meters. The white light (reported to be blue by the tower) accelerated fast to the north. The close encounter lasted 45 seconds. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Phenomenes Spatiaux, December 1976, p. 14; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 40; UNICAT, case # 789; Charles Bowen, FSR, April 1977, p. 31 & June 1977, p. 1; John Wallace Spencer, World Atlas of UFOs, p. 107 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6098 ### Event 38840 (BA249034) **Date:** 9/20/1976 **Location:** IRAN, Lake Tabriz **Description:** (Translated from French) A university researcher (in history) and his wife were abducted by two entities that emerged from a UFO that had just landed near their car.

The object was 12 feet square and 6 feet high, and it was the color of an incandescent lamp. No additional structure could be seen. He watched it for about seven minutes. Human-shaped shadows could be seen moving around inside. The object departed slowly at first, then shot away at great speed.

The object consisted of a main bright blue body surrounded by 5 to 7 horizontal red and white lights. These lights detached from the object and exploded in a huge flash of light. A TAP plane en route to South Africa saw the UFO cut its route and force it to change direction. This maneuver was observed with surprise by the two control tower employees. One of them took binoculars and estimated that the object disappeared at a speed 3 times higher than that of a jet. "The National Enquirer" of November 30, 1976, published about this incident: The 707 passenger plane almost collided with a crazy UFO. There were 101 passengers on board who all believed in an imminent collision. The co-pilot Armindo Pinto made a desperate maneuver and the captain Eloy Weigert saw the UFO so close that its silhouette filled 3/4 of the window. This encounter took place very shortly after the takeoff of the plane, flight 241, in Lisbon at 02:10. Two other planes of the same company had a less frightening experience with an identical UFO.

A few seconds later, one of them reports seeing a pulsating white object in the sky. He can see flashing red and blue lights between the pulsations. It is about 10 miles north of their position and close to the launch control facility itself. The UFO is hovering about 100 feet above the building and looks like a “fat cigar” about 50–60 feet long. It begins to move away but stops close to one of the missile silos. Over the next 2 hours or so, the UFO hovers near several more missile silos. The security guards are terrified and refuse to approach any missile site that has the UFO over it. Sometime around 4:30 a.m., the object zooms away and disappears in seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nukes 340–343 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5344 ### Event 38850 (5F2D559C) **Date:** 9/24/1976 **Locations:** Lake Red Rock; Otley, Iowa **Description:** 2:30 a.m. A conservation officer and his wife watch a dark object fly over Lake Red Rock near Otley, Iowa.

The short humanoid creature then ran with little short paces across the road and up Westfield Grove. Its head was “squashed” like a tomato, and it had no feet or toes; its legs extended straight to their extremities; similarly, its thin arms were lacking hands and fingers. There were no facial features visible, neither ears nor hair. None of the other boys appeared to have seen it, and most of them made fun of Paul when he told them. One of them, Michael McDermott, did assist Paul in a search for some evidence of the little creature, and they found a set of 30 small circular footprints leading from a puddle along the route taken by the being. McDermott claimed he heard a faint whistling sound and someone calling Bennett’s name. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It was a dark brown-green oval shape, with six intense orange lights and topped with a small red light. It was approaching them at an altitude of about 45 to 50 m and at a distance of 200 m.

He sees yellow and red lights about 2 miles ahead on the north side of the road. As he moves closer, he finds that the lights are actually two objects suspended in the air above a marshy area behind some woods about 300–400 feet north of the interstate. They are soft rounded triangles with red glows at the tip of the triangle and yellow pulsating lights protruding from the blunter ends. The objects are apparently metallic, about 20–25 feet in their longer dimension, and hover without making a sound. Thompson gets out of his car to watch. A truck approaches and one object rises vertically and zooms away. As the truck is abreast of his position, the second object ascends and flies directly over them. A CUFOS investigator examines the marshy area two days later and finds an oblong area, 40 feet by 20 feet, devoid of cattails and heavy grass. Inside the oblong is a smaller, irregular area where he finds exposed soil is and a few round holes the size of a quarter. He takes soil samples, which are sent to University of Kansas geologist [Edward J. Zeller](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/188639525/edward-jacob-zeller) for thermoluminesce testing. The soil from the site center shows essentially no thermoluminescence, indicating t had been subjected to strong heat. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** [CUFOS case file](http://ufohistoryfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/259C.pdf) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5352 ### Event 38920 (25AE747E) **Date:** 10/23/1976 **Location:** Winchester, MA **Description:** About 7:15 p.m. A couple driving saw a row of very bright rotating lights rising above the trees, then stopping and hovering.

As he approached, he realized that it was a dumbbell or cigar-shaped UFO about 15 meters long, hovering in the air about 100 meters altitude. After he had passed it by it began to follow him, and the UFO passed over his car so as to be in front of him. He signalled with his headlights, and then saw in the middle of the dumbbell a rectangular “screen” or window feebly lit by an orange light, in which the silhouettes of two occupants appeared, as if looking at him. He came to the village of Hobling and drove to his house, and the UFO was now hoveriong above his garage, so he pointed it out to his wife who was home at the time. She went and brought him the binoculars, but just as soon as he was about to use them the UFO “turned out its lights.” They next heard a dull humming sound. At the spot at which he had first sighted the UFO three circular landing marks were found; each consisted of two tangential double circles of crushed grass, the outer ones about three feet larger in radius than the inner ones, and the entire area was about 50 feet wide. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lumieres dans la Nuit, November 1977; David F.

When the cars stopped, the drivers got out and stood watching the craft making various maneuvers. After the UFO sighting a person who claimed to be from the "spaceship" asked for a medical examination at the clinic of an eminent and respected 43-year-old doctor. The doctor did perform the exam and was shocked at his appearance. His skin was milky white, and apart from a few black strands on his head there was no other hair on his body. He insisted that humans on our planet were very low on the scale of evolutionary development, and that we had yet to discover the three more planets that exist in our solar system. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Timothy Good, Alien Contact, p. 89; David F.

It went out of sight for a short while and Britt went indoors, but his son Richie continued to watch. The object reappeared, rotating and emitting red, green, and blue lights. Then it flew down towards Richie and stopped near the porch. Now it began to give off a white light. The craft was aluminum colored, about the size of a large automobile, and had a set of small triangular windows above, which formed one large triangular window. In this window stood a being with pale white skin, apparently unclothed,with no other facial features except two large dark eyes. It had no neck, and its hands were claw-like. Richie began to scream for his father, but when his father rushed out there was nothing left to see. Richie had to be treated for hysteria, and he could not talk about what he had seen until the next morning. In the morning Mr. Britt noticed a 15 x 20 foot area in front of the porch where there was no frost on the grass. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Florence (SC) Morning News, November 11, 1976; David F.

Two of the boys next noticed an object resembling a telephone booth and emitting a red and white light descend towards the walled in field, so they ran to the field and saw it land behind some bushes on three legs. An oval-shaped opening became visible from which a red light shone. Then two very tall human like figures emerged. The figures wore tight-fitting black diving suits and wide bright belts. The figures walked slowly towards the wall, and the two boys could now see bright shiny eyes but no other facial features. One of the humanoids banged on the wall several times, and then both walked to the center of the yard. One of them then pulled out a long thin object from a sack he was wearing on his side and pointed it at the wall, and a long thin beam of light came from the device and hit the wall several times; at one point the beam turned white. Moments later both figures walked back to their craft.

It was about the stature of a 12-year-old child. The being was wearing a blue gray cape with a white collar, and a black cap like that of a Pierrot. This figure then disappeared “progressively,” beginning with the right side. An immediate search of the area showed nothing. The witness’s dog, which was in the car, moaned at the moment of the observation, and was sick for the rest of the day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

There was an immediate failure of the electrical system at the school, which was based on 12V batteries, and a sudden blast of hot air was felt by the several witnesses, including the main witness, Isabel Cardozo de Alvez. At the same time a red sphere of light was seen by a man and a woman, Silva and Camargo, in a residential area of the city. Its close approach caused a loss of consciousness for five minutes. Afterwards, their physiological effects were: sleepiness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and eye irritation (photopthalmia). **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UNICAT, cases # 514 & 515, citing CIOVI **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7309 ### Event 38945 (4C823CC3) **Date:** 10/31/1976 **Description:** At about 6:00 p.m. the witness was being driven back home by her husband on his motorcycle, and was going west on Figueroa Avenue in Los Angeles, California. As they drove in front of a hotel, she looked up and saw a metallic disc-shaped craft, shooting up from behind the buildings. The object remained at a height of 100 feet as it traveled in a straight line, occasionally dipping by 30 feet. Rounding a curve, the sun shone on the object, and it appeared to turn transparent. Inside, she was able to see three or four human like figures. Two of them were looking at her, and they were leaning over a console or platform. She commented that the men looked very handsome. She gave them the peace sign, but they did not respond, displaying no emotion just curiosity. The couple attempted to follow the object but eventually lost sight of it. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He made contact with a big cylindrical kind of disc-shaped object, then a second huge craft. He watched the two craft for 2-3 minutes before he entered a semi-conscious state, followed by his alien abduction experience for the next 12 hours. After the abduction he was plaged by nightmares, and his watch was affected. The watch was 10 hours slow. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Leo Sprinkle **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7342 ### Event 38947 (8829D413) **Date:** 11/1976 **Location:** ENGLAND, near Winchester **Description:** (Translated from French) Mrs. Joyce Bowles, 42, was driving late at night in the countryside near Winchester, accompanied by her friend Ted Pratt, 58. Suddenly, she felt the car being lifted up in the air, before coming to a complete stop. The two people scanned the dark night of the deserted avenue. Then Mrs. Bowles started screaming in terror. An enormous creature with pink eyes was staring at them through the windshield. "They were horrible eyes, bright like the sun," she remembers. "They belonged to a well-built man dressed in a silver jumpsuit. Just before we saw him, there was a sound, like a rattling of chains. After examining us, he went back to a cigar-shaped craft hovering above a field just a few meters away from us. We could see that there were three other people inside. The one who had stared at us entered the craft, which promptly disappeared." Mr. Pratt, for his part, said "I was scared when the car started shaking, but when the creature looked at me, I felt strangely calm. Maybe it gave me the strength to take care of Mrs. Bowles, who was in a lamentable state. It was a nerve-racking experience." **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDEL: "The World's Greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

She sees a bright light outside and calls her father. From their balcony they watch an intense white light speed across the sky from northwest to southeast and disappear in the mountains. The father thinks the light is spinning. At the same time a French physicist is driving 7 miles away near Voreppe. He sees a luminous disc brighter than the full moon and stops his car to watch it. The object is white in the center, bluish-white at the periphery, and is surrounded by an intense green halo. It is moving silently southeast but stops for a few seconds before moving off 30° from its previous course at a much greater speed. It passes in front of the Massif du Taillefer before it disappears behind Mont Néron. The sighting lasts 20–25 seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacques Vallée, “[Estimates of Power Optical Output in Six Cases](https://www.scientificexploration.org/docs/12/jse%5F12%5F3%5Fvallee%5F1.pdf) [of Unexplained Aerial Objects with Defined Luminosity Characteristics,](https://www.scientificexploration.org/docs/12/jse%5F12%5F3%5Fvallee%5F1.pdf)” Journal of Scientific Exploration 12, no. 3 \(1998\): 352–354 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5359 ### Event 38966 (2BFEFB37) **Date:** 11/6/1976 **Description:** A cattle mutilation was discovered on a ranch northeast of Canby, Minnesota. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** George Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, p. 605 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7508 ### Event 38967 (A115302B) **Date:** 11/8/1976 **Time:** 20:50 **Location:** NORTH BELMONT, NC **Description:** 2 girls / 14. 8m saucer / edge.

When it stopped the second time they saw a light in the sky in the direction of Badajoz, “like a flare,” which lit up a wide area beneath it. After about 20 seconds it vanished. A third sentry, Jose Hidalgo, joined them and accompanied by a guard dog they went to search the fuel stockpile area. They had gone about a thousand feet when they experienced a localized “whirlwind,” which alarmed them and caused them to load their rifles. Then they heard a sound like branches being broken in the direction of some nearby eucalyptus trees, so they released the guard dog. The dog charged off toward the trees, but after a few seconds came staggering back and whimpering. Four more times they ordered the dog to go to the trees, but each time he came back in the same manner. Then Trejo glimpsed a green light out of the corner of his eyes, and when he turned around he saw a luminous humanoid figure at least ten feet tall, only 50 feet away. The thick, luminous figure seemed to consist entirely of small points of light, and more intense around its periphery. The small head appeared to be covered by a helmet. The arms seemed to be crossed, and legs and feet could not be seen. Trejo tried to fire his rifle, but was unable to because he felt a sudden sensation of weakness, and collapsed to the ground. The other two men then caught sight of the entity and fired at it. Between the two of them they fired 40-50 shots. At the instant the firing began the apparition vanished. The other two men helped Trejo to his feet, and at this time all three heard the whistle again, coming from the direction of the eucalyptus trees. It lasted for 10-15 seconds and then ceased. At dawn 50 men searched the area. They found nothing. Particularly mystifying was the fact that they could not find a single spent cartridge case. Moreover, the adobe wall of the base, which was just behind where the being stood and should have been pockmarked with bullet holes, showed not a single bullet pockmark. A few days after the incident Trejo lost his vision, and then fell unconscious. He was hospitalized, but his hospital tests showed nothing abnormal. About two weeks later he again lost his vision for about 15 minutes. He was hospitalized for a month and during that time suffered from severe headaches. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Juan Jose Benitez, FSR, February 1978, p. 3; David F.

They were alarmed and ran home. Looking back, they saw a nine foot tall milky white figure wearing a diamond shaped red helmet, who came floating out of the woods about 150 yards away from them. Under the helmet its head appeared to be blackish gray, and its short legs seemed to have no feet. It stopped and seemed to look at the boys, then floated on and disappeared behind a nearby billboard. The entire incident lasted about 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The car is subject to electrical interference as the engine roars, and the lights seem to shine brighter than usual. They spot what appears to be an orange, cigar-shaped craft, 15 feet in length, with three entities behind a window. As they watch, a bearded humanoid wearing a silver suit comes out of the object, walks to the car, and looks in on the witnesses. He then disappears and the couple are able to drive off. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Leslie Harris, “[UFO and Silver-Suited Entity Seen near](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%205.pdf) [Winchester,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 22, no. 5 \(February 1977\): 3–6; Richard Nash, “[UFO and Occupants](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%205.pdf) [Reported near Winchester,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 22, no. 5 \(February 1977\): 7–8; Jenny Randles, “[Questions and](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%205.pdf) [Comments on the Nash Interview,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201976%20V%2022%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 22, no. 5 \(February 1977\): 8; Frank J.

They turned down a narrow lane and immediately their car began to "shudder and shake as though it were coming to pieces." The car was pulled diagonally off the road. When the car came to rest they saw a glowing, orange, 15-foot-long cigar-shaped object about 5 yards in front of their car, hovering 12-18 inches from the ground. They were both badly frightened and the driver turned off the engine.

The UFO appeared to have jets beneath it from which a vapor was issuing. In the top left portion of the craft was a window, through which they could see the heads of three men. A 6 foot tall man with a slim build, wearing a silvery suit, emerged by passing through the side of the object. He had long blonde hair, a dark beard, and his skin was pale. Just as he approached the woman noticed a "whistling noise." Reaching the car, the man bent over, placed one hand on the roof, and looked inside. His eyes were pink "like an albino rabbit," and were so penetrating that when the woman looked away she could still see spots of light as an after-effect. She also felt that the man transmitted some kind of influence that caused them to remain calm. The being stood at the side of the car for 2 minutes, then moved away to the rear of the vehicle. He did not reappear, and when they again looked forward the UFO had disappeared. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Leslie Harris, FSR, February 1977 (Vol. 22, No. 5), p. 3. **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7676 ### Event 38987 (56CE0AEE) **Date:** 11/15/1976? **Location:** NEAR TOMIO, FINL **Description:** Fireball going east from Sweden.

The two giant humanoid figures were maybe 8 or 9 feet tall, and standing close together as though they were hugging. They appeared to be of a pine green color. No traces could be found the next day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Milford Chronicle, December 9, 1976; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1976-80 (A1512 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8237 ### Event 39028 (34B687C9) **Date:** 12/6/1976 **Description:** At 5:30 a.m. a married couple were heading west on Sterling Road in Davie, Florida to drop off his two children, ages 4 and 1 ½ years, at a local daycare center. As he was passing a bicyclist he noticed a fireball in the northwest sky falling fast. After a minute the husband pulled over and shut off the car, to say a prayer because he thought he had seen an airplane crashing. He sat there for several minutes, then he and his wife observed a huge dull, grayish metallic object that was heading slowly towards them. The object was immense, made no sound, nor emit any smoke or exhaust that could be noticeable from thermal fluctuations of the air around it. The object appeared to be oblong or cigar-shaped, more than 250 feet long and more than 30 feet high. There seemed to be some sort of whitish light atop and a light at each end, front and rear but not white.

As it approached their vehicle his wife leaned her upper body out of the window to look up at it, while he watched it from behind the windshield inside. As they kept asking what it was, he noticed that the entire interior of the car had become illuminated. He then also noticed that his four-year old daughter leaning on the back window looking up. He then looked at his interior light and saw that it was not lit. He again looked out his side window and it was still pitch black outside the car. He did his best to get a fix on the structure of the craft, that was now less than 50 feet from them. The surface did not appear to be metallic at all, but it had a rough, sandy texture similar to that of shark skin. He could not locate any seams on it or anything that would suggest conventional construction methods.

The object became stationary and they sat staring at it for minutes. Then he saw a small, child-like figure fun in front of the headlights from the left. It started to climb over the metal road barrier, but hesitated and turned toward him. It wore no shoes, belt, tools, weapons, or any other accessories. His first thought was to jump out and grab the being to throw it in the car trunk, but a mental voice told him not to move or he would be harmed. He tried to lift his arm and was horrified because it looked like it was cut off where the light ended inside the car. He looked again at the small figure again and had the thought that he could easily overpower it. A voice again warned him that the stretch cloth suit the figure was wearing carried 40,000 volts of piezo-electrical current. The small being then hopped over a fence and entered a field of a horse farm. His last memory of the incident was of looking behind his car and seeing a somewhat different shaped object about one mile south of his location, moving slowly at first but then accelerating so fast that it appeared to just vaporize. He then drove off without speaking another word to his wife, and at the daycare center they realized that they had been at the site for over 40 minutes. He also lost his eyesight for almost two days after the incident. The witness also claims that, after several years of nightmares, he discovered that the occupants of the craft he had seen were from a parallel universe. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center; Albert S.

At 1:30 a.m. in Ponte de Lima, Portugal, a 2-meter tall dark figure, wearing a one-piece robe that fell to the ground in a straight, featureless line, and having no signs of arms or legs, glided over the street in front of two school teachers, a married couple in their fifties. Their dog hid behind them, then retreated. The figure was in view for five minutes, the entire time it took them to walk to the man's sister's house. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT case 1810, citing Joaquim Fernandes, Insolito magazine, May 1978, pp. 14-16 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8308 ### Event 39035 (706D11EE) **Date:** 12/10/1976 **Description:** A complex abduction scenario occurred that evening in central France. Antonia (last name withheld), 68, was driving to her home near Limoges. She had entered a small woods that was strangely illuminated by a white light. When she turned a corner in the road that light became a lenticular mass of brilliant light about 30 feet wide and 10 feet high, resting on the road ahead. When 20 meters from it she stopped and tried to back up. Instead the car was pulled forward onto the right shoulder of the road. In the midst of the light she felt her head forcibly turned to the right. She perceived an arm appear that described an arc through the air from front to back. All at once the lights went out, and her car motor and headlights died. She heard a slight click, and a sound like a sliding door opening. Two white luminous rectangular shapes about a meter in height seemed to appear in front of the hood of her car. She then felt two electric shocks running from head to toe, and lost consciousness.

She awoke to the sound of a pistol-shot and something striking against her car. She thought she heard a voice say in French, "Oh, we have killed her!" Her outside mirror on the driver side had been broken off. She tried to get out of the car but had no sensation in her legs. The sensation in them began to return, but her feet were slewed over toward the right side of the car, where they had not been before. Looking around, she realized the car was now about 100 meters beyond the place she had lost consciousness. She turned on her headlights, and saw a metallic gray flying saucer hovering motionless 3 meters above the road, 3-4 meters ahead of her. It had two lights sunk into the lower portion, and also two darker 8" squares, and was at least 30 feet wide. Her car engine suddenly started up spontaneously. Immediately the UFO's lights went out and it silently took off. She felt the car buffeted with a shock wave as it left. Antonia drove home, arriving 55 minutes later that she should have. Her dogs shunned her, and she could not sleep that night.

(Continued.) In the morning she discovered a tear in her skin between her vagina and anus. On washing out her genital area she found that her vagina was stuffed with an earth-like substance. A vaginal infection subsequently resulted from this. Her memory of the event, including the missing time, gradually returned. For two weeks she suffered from insomnia, and vivid images repeatedly came into her mind.

She recalled being in a circular room, dark except at the center. There was no visible source for the light. In front of her, suspended from the two ends by metal pipes from the ceiling, was a green table in the shape of a half-cylinder, convex side up, about five feet long. She was forcibly placed and twisted about into various extreme and painful positions upon this "vaulting horse" ("cheval d'arcon"). Two figures stood looking at her. Not very tall, they wore close-fitting coveralls. One had a narrow, black mustache, wore a black skullcap, and his uniform had an "officer's collar." They had elongated, slanted eyes. The one with the cap smiled "tenderly" at her; the other looked evil and malevolent. She could also hear others "murmuring" that she could not see. She remembered seeing a hand holding an instrument like a toy windmill, a spiral vane on a stick that had sparkling points of light. In the dark wall were visible two dimly lit, small portholes, less than 8 inches in diameter. Later, she felt herself standing, being moved about as if someone was dressing her, then being thrown down onto something hard.

When Antonia had her car's mirror replaced, the mechanic was surprised to observe that her car was strongly magnetized. The investigator, who spent a great deal of time working with the abductee, rejects fabrication or psychopathology as explanations for her experience. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1869, citing Revue des Soucoupes Volantes #5, February 1978, pp. 5-11 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8309 ### Event 39036 (D5856288) **Date:** 12/12/1976 **Location:** FRANCE, Meylan (Isère) **Description:** (Translated from French) Julien Hermann began his shift as a guard at the "Merlin-Gérin" factory at 6 o'clock in the morning. "A few moments later, in my office, turning my head to the left, I clearly saw through the window a human form of a size of 1.65m to 1.75m and of a fluorescent green color, surrounded by a multitude of small green twinkling lights on its profile. This form was about twenty meters away. I clearly distinguished its legs and arms which it held along its body. On the other hand, I could not see the face, nor even the head and shoulders, but it seemed to me to perceive in the night like a motorcyclist's or astronaut's helmet which formed an aureole towards the head. This human form remained motionless in the center of a luminous circle visible on the ground, of an orange-yellow hue, of a diameter of about two meters. I cannot say if the feet of this human form were in contact with the ground or not, as well as it seemed impossible to me to realize if it was facing me or presented its back. I felt a cold sweat and my radio which was functioning began to crackle and crack. I then rushed outside, going around the corner of the building. I saw the form again still motionless in the same place. Suddenly, it vanished on the spot." This scene lasted from 5 to 7 minutes. **Reference:** Pierre DELVAL: "Contacts of the 4th Type" - De Vecchi 1979, p. 66, 67, he dates it September 12, but it was a Sunday morning, the other authors say "December" I opt for this date **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2933 ### Event 39037 (3AE6B5C0) **Date:** 12/12/1976 **Time:** 07:20 **Location:** MEYLAN, FR **Description:** Glowing figure / very long arms.

Although he told his wife, who did not believe him, he did not make an official report because he feared professional repercussions. The next day, he learned from reading the local newsapaper that two other people reported seeing a "spaceman" looking into their car in Chilcomb, near Winchester, England after their car engine failed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** http://www.colinandrews.net/UFO-PoliceSergeant-SilburyHill.html **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8671 --- ## Year: 1977, 1266 Event(s), (Back to Top) ### Event 39090 (803C6D13) **Date:** 1977 **Location:** Scottsdale, Arizona **Description:** CAUS (Citizens Against UFO Secrecy), a non-profit freedom of information activist group that advocates for the release of classified information regarding UFOs, is founded. **Type:** non-profit organization **Reference:** [Wikipeda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Against_UFO_Secrecy) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_692 ### Event 39091 (B1C631BB) **Date:** 1977 **Location:** Ellsworth AFB **Description:** Former USAF Sergeant, Mario Woods, claims that Richard Doty was present at the debriefing of his 1977 UFO incident over a nuclear silo at Ellsworth AFB. **Type:** debriefing **Reference:** [link](https://twitter.com/RyanSprague51/status/1612522327488487435) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_694 ### Event 39092 (BDBE6CCD) **Date:** 1977 **Location:** Soviet Union **Description:** V.

Lawson](https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/corona-del-mar-ca/alvin-lawson-4373974), along with technical writer John DeHerrera and physician William C. McCall, carries out a study in Anaheim \(California\) Memorial Hospital to determine if the abduction stories told by “real” abductees under hypnotic regression resemble the stories told by others who are asked to imagine an abduction under hypnosis. After the experiment, carried out by student volunteers, Lawson declares that the imaginary accounts are all but identical to the real accounts. He then formulates a Birth Memories Hypothesis, which argues that abductions are nonphysical, archetypal fantasies in which the witness’s birth memories play a central role. However, Lawson’s methodology and results are later critiqued severely. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Alvin H.

M.S. of the 97th Bomber Wing claims while serving at WPAFB in 1977, he made the acquaintance of a Maj. Gen. whose last name begins with the letter “T” assigned for security work in the Logistics Command; his daughter dated M.S. M.S. claims Gen. T. Told him a UAP crashed in the Southwest in 1957, four bodies were recovered and badly burned but their silver spacesuits were not damaged and fused to the flesh, and sent to WPAFB for deep freeze; the heads were larger than the bodies but facial features were erased by the heat; a CR team got into the craft through a fissure in the shell; it was transported by rail using cover as “classified rockets” to WPAFB. M.S. claims Gen. T showed him a TS document about a UAP landing at Nellis AFB in 1968 reading “Large UFO hovered over Nellis AFB for three days. Three small alien craft were observed separating (or being ejected) from the parent craft. One landed on the Air Base grounds. Sent to greet the landed craft was a Colonel with security detachment properly armed. There was no mention of an attempt to assault the craft. While waiting for a sign of intent, a humanoid was observed to disembark from the UFO craft, which was described as ‘short and stocky.’ Then a beam of light was directed at the Colonel. The Colonel was instantly paralyzed, according to the report. Orders then came from the officer next in command for his troops of the security detachment to fire, but their weapons were mysteriously jammed. The Colonel was recovered and hospitalized.” Leonard Springfield claims he corroborated the existence of Gen. T. At WPAFB through the Accounting and Finance Section records. Stringfield also claims another Intelligence source corroborated the 1968 Nellis AFB incident. * _[Retrievals of the Third Kind presented at MUFON 1978, Leon Stringfield](https://github.com/richgel999/uap_resources/blob/main/1978_Mufon_Symposium_Stringfield.pdf), p27_ **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_161 ### Event 39105 (3C917BB2) **Date:** 1977 **Description:** Attorney Daniel P.

If true, this contradicts findings of **Blue Book** delivered to Congress and the American people stating a lack of physical evidence was a key reason why UAP were not worthy of future study. * [https://web.archive.org/web/20150703123417/http:/www.presidentialufo.com/old_site/marcia_smith_story.htm](https://web.archive.org/web/20150703123417/http:/www.presidentialufo.com/old_site/marcia_smith_story.htm) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_162 ### Event 39106 (C6896231) **Date:** 1/1977 **Location:** PERU, Huanaco Province **Description:** (Translated from French) A young student who had fallen into a marsh was helped by 4 scaly creatures, 90 cm tall, with 3 fingers on each hand.

On the left they observed an elliptical metallic object at 300 meters distance, about twenty meters above a sloping field. It was illuminating a foggy mist around it and towards the ground. Red and blue sparks were coming out from under its base. A dark mass like a rod was located above and to the left of the craft, which was stationary. After 8 to 10 minutes of observation, Mr. Perez decided to flash his headlights. At that moment, the craft slowly rose vertically, first without sound, then it started at an incredible speed towards the north, made a 180° loop heading south towards Châteaudouble. **Reference:** M.

Terrified, he saw a being shorter than him that floated beside him at the same time. He tried to grab the wall and banister but could not get a firm hold. His next memory was of being in the driveway being floated down the road surrounded by several gray-colored figures. He tried to get away but his legs just cycled aimlessly in mid-air.

They saw on top of a nearby hill a strange looking bulky figure that was dark and motionless. It resembled an eight-foot-tall box with a round head on top and legs that appeared too thin towards the bottom. A strange sound, resembling several dogs barking into a microphone, seemed to emanate from the figure. The two witnesses became afraid and locked themselves in their house. They next heard a sound like someone was dragging something outside on the sand path that encircled their house. The sound stopped at the edge of a nearby pine grove. This was too much for the 24-year-old woman, who suffered a nervous collapse. Investigators found a small radioactive spot at the foot of the hill, plus other ground traces in evidence. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

A second later she saw two 2 m tall ufonauts, dressed in white and wearing helmets, arrive at the edge of the roof, examine the ground, the street, and the sky, and return to the craft which immediately took off. Traces on the snow-covered roof: an oval surface of 6 m where the melted snow had refrozen, two other oval traces, and four footprints from the center to the corner of the platform. (Inforespace No. 36 pp. 17, 18 and No. 53 p. 23) Time: 1:15 a.m. approximately. Duration: 45 seconds maximum. Place: At Montreal, on Casgrain Street, at the corner of Beaubien Street. Witnesses: Mrs. Malboeuf and three other people. The site, in the heart of Montreal and close to a major geological fault, is at the height of a three-story house, on Casgrain Street, south of Beaubien Street. Our main witness, Mrs. Malboeuf, is in her fifties and lives in an apartment on the ground floor, with her son André, aged twenty-five. It is customary for her to get up at night, unable to sleep due to bronchial coughing. That night, however, she saw a white and luminous shape slowly emerge against a sky not covered. The object was coming from the block of houses located immediately at the southeast corner of Casgrain and Beaubien Streets. The object was coming from the north at about 5 meters above the roofs. Her astonishment was immediate: she knew nothing similar to this kind of oyster with lights. The object, which seemed white at first sight, seemed to her to be made of silver metal. Its shape, oval, very flattened and bulging only on the top, had at its base a series of four or five white lights, not very strong in intensity, and which seemed to continue all around the "oyster". She very distinctly saw the object reach the alley and reach above the house which begins, in the alley, the continuous series of dwellings, on the other side of the street. Yet, the UFO stopped as soon as it reached this point and, without any transition, descended directly, she believes, on the roof. The object was quickly hidden by the edge of the facade of the apartment, on the third floor, by the effect of perspective. It only took a second for two characters to appear, obviously coming from the object stopped at the moment.

Mrs. Malboeuf did not see them come out of this object, however. Soon, the two men reached the facade of this house and reached, one behind the other, diagonally, the corner of the roof of the adjoining apartment. At this point, for the witness, they seemed to be side by side. They seemed to her to be very tall and very thin, two meters perhaps, with long arms, without their walk seeming abnormal. She could not distinguish their face. She says that their head was covered with a tight "bathing cap", reminding her of the frogmen. These two characters, with a lot of naturalness, looked towards the ground and towards the street, a little around them, longer towards the sky, and returned on their steps. As soon as their head was no longer in the field of vision of the witness, the object rose about 7 meters and headed towards Bellechasse Street at the same speed as on arrival. It was not until the next day around 6 p.m. that she spoke to her son about it, as he had not slept at home the previous night. André went around the block of houses, found a way to get on the roof, and went there. For this, it takes a man with a good dose of audacity and more than the strength of a child to achieve this goal. At that moment, his breath failed him, his nervous state increased, and he kept this tension for several days. André was in the presence of a large ice surface with a depression towards the center with an average diameter of 6 meters. Two other small oval ice surfaces were placed near the large one; he went down and told his mother of his discovery. Naively, he had a glaring proof that could convince everyone that a flying saucer had come... But André did not know that in the matter of UFOs nothing is more negligible than a proof for those who refuse to know the subject. Saturday, January 8, around noon, the photographer Gilles Lafrance of the Montreal newspaper came. The two men went up to photograph the large snow circle. The articles, accompanied by the photos of Gilles Lafrance, which were then published in this newspaper and also in the Sunday Express, support in a positive tone the story of Mrs. Malboeuf.

Her son André goes over to the rooftop in question and finds a large, elliptical-shaped crust of ice, about 18 feet in diameter, on top of the snow. He also finds four small footprints only 6.5 inches long. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Marc Leduc and Wido Hoville, “[Un UFO sur une maison,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/UFO%20Quebec/UFO%20Quebec%20-%20No%2009%20-%201977.pdf)” UFO-Quebec, no. 9 \(1977\): 6–10; Yurko Bondarchuk, UFO Sightings, Landings, and Abductions, Methuen, 1979, pp. 62–66 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5399 ### Event 39158 (DF63650A) **Date:** 1/6/1977 **Description:** At 1:15 a.m. Mrs. Florida Malboeuf, about 50 years of age, was sitting at her window on the Rue Casgrain in the city of Montreal, Quebec when she saw an oyster shaped, flat bottomed metallic object with a row of white lights around its base. It came flying in from the north and landed on the rooftop of a three-storey apartment building across the street from her, only 60 feet away. Immediately two figures appeared on the roof, they were over six feet tall and thin, with long arms and they wore white one-piece uniforms with their heads covered with tight "bath helmets."

A moment later they disappeared, and the UFO rose from the roof about 20 feet, and then flew off to the east. Her son Andre went over to the rooftop in question and found there a large elliptical shaped crust of ice, 0.8 inches thick, and about 18 feet in diameter that was on top of the snow, evidently formed by the local melting of the snow. In relief on this plaque and going toward the façade of the building, were four small, narrow footprints only 6.5 incheslong. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Horse farmer [William McCarthy](https://www.fosters.com/article/20081009/GJNEWS%5F01/710096205) is looking out his window at the falling snow when he is surprised to see a hole in his pond in the town of Wakefield, New Hampshire. The pond, 105 by 75 feet, was frozen solid just the day before. He goes outside for a closer look. The hole is perfectly round and cuts smoothly through 14 inches of ice. Eight inches of slush surrounds the hole. Peering into the hole, McCarthy sees something that looks like a one-foot-square box. He races back to the house and brings family members over for a look. Then he goes to the barn to pick up a rake, hoe, and pole. Back at the pond, McCarthy sees that the box has sunk three feet into the muck at the bottom. Frustrated in his attempt to retrieve the object, he calls a friend, Bob Palmer, who arrives around 2:30 p.m. Concerned that they might be dealing with radioactive satellite or aircraft debris, Palmer notifies the police, who soon arrive in the company of a local Civil Defense representative. The Geiger counter indicates a reading alarmingly above normal \(3 roentgens per hour versus normal background radiation of .001 roentgen\). The McCarthys are warned to stay away from the water, and the CD man and the police leave to inform their superiors. By 4:00 p.m. the circle of slush has expanded to 10 feet. When McCarthy observes the pond in the morning, he discovers a second hole, this one about 50 feet from the original. Not long afterwards, someone from the attorney general’s office warns McCarthy not to let his animals drink from the pond; he reappears later in the day to express concern about possible water seepage. He also directs McCarthy and his family not to discuss the affair with anyone else until the official investigation is completed. The next day the pond is frozen over again. Disregarding warnings, McCarthy walks out on it and looks down through the clear ice where the hole has been and to the pool bottom. A fresh 6-inch-wide trench stretches from beneath the first hole all the way to the second. To all appearances, the object that entered via the former has left via the latter. State police escort all but the officially connected off the farm. Investigators try unsuccessfully to drain the pond, then see a 6-by-3-foot opening where the original hole had been. Distant observers think they see the searchers retrieve a black object and place it inside a van, which quickly leaves the area. By the end of the day, a statement from the governor’s office declares that more sophisticated equipment has found no abnormal radioactivity in the pond and the surrounding area. The black object, the authorities contend, is a container filled with soil and stone samples collected for analysis. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[What’s Going On?

At first it is about 2 miles away at treetop level; now he can see red lights on the object. A bit unnerved, Maki goes back to the lodge and positions himself behind it. The light moves out of sight, and Maki goes back to work about 15 minutes later. Soon the light returns and it is below him on the same ski run, shining brightly. He decides to go home in his pickup truck. One week later, around 11:00 p.m., the same thing starts happening again, but Maki decides to run home right away. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Kenneth Schellhase, “UFOs on the Ski Slopes of Northern Michigan,” IUR 7, no. 2 \(March 1982\): 10 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5405 ### Event 39176 (D41821B3) **Date:** 1/16/1977 **Location:** Moscow, Russia **Description:** On a clear and cloudless morning a giant flying saucer appeared over the southwestern part of Moscow, Russia.

The UFO was very bright, had a rectangular shape, surrounded by a round luminous halo, of a raw slightly yellowish white. Losing sight of the thing due to the path followed, he then found it again and the witness arrived at his home from where he continued to observe the UFO on foot. It flew over the Tihange nuclear power plant, and then stopped abruptly and turned back. During this unexpected maneuver, the witness felt for the first time worried. The object stopped above the power plant, higher and to the left of the long chimney. The witness then called his wife and children, and all of them could see for about ten minutes the strange spectacle, however only seeing the UFO as a rounded shape and the size of a tenth of the lunar diameter. **Reference:** Inforespace n° 44 of 1979, p. 17, 18 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2946 ### Event 39180 (CA3F468D) **Date:** 1/18/1977 **Time:** 01:00 **Location:** BUSSIERES-ST.-GEORGES, FR **Description:** Observer(s) thrown / bush. 3 luminous globes overhead. 75 minute(s) / missing time.

Almost immediately they spot another hazy object hovering above the adjacent K. B. Dixon woodyard. It begins moving forward at a slow pace then stops above a ventilation pipe in the Dixon factory wall. As it hovers the haze disappears, and the object’s features become more distinct. It is larger than a double-decker bus and shaped like a rugby ball. All three are able to see through a row of windows on the side that reveal a corridor inside. On one end is a tube-like structure or pole. Soon it moves over some community gardens and hovers briefly at about 6 feet altitude, lowers its “pole,” and appears to suck up a polythene bag. Both objects now move off to the west. The sighting duration is 5–10 minutes. The witnesses are terrified during the event, experiencing a cold sensation sweeping over them and a prickly irritation in their eyes. They develop sore throats and colds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Robert Morrell, “[UFOs over Bridlington Factories,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 3 \(October 1977\): 8–10, 21 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5407 ### Event 39197 (E2859395) **Date:** 1/21/1977 **Location:** Yscloskey, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana **Description:** 8:45 p.m. Robert Melerine and Irwin Menesses are doing some hunting along a dike canal about one mile northeast of Yscloskey, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, one in a boat and the other walking along the shore. Melerine sees a bright red light in the sky. Suddenly the light seems right around him as the boat is engulfed in the glow, which extends to the surrounding landscape. There is no noise, and the light flies away into the woods. Menesses is already back at camp and has not seen the light. They both get into the boat and move down the dike canal, using the outboard motor. The light reappears and moves closer to them. Although the motor is running the boat is not moving, seemingly held in place. Then the light quickly leaves and the boat lurches forward with great force, causing both men to fall. The light again flies at low level into the trees and continues on until they lose it. They estimate that the light is about 15–25 feet in diameter, roughly circular, faceted, and strikingly fast when it moves toward them. Both men report nausea, stomach aches, and fever for 2 days after the incident \(it is flu season\). **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Mysterious Hovering Light Observed by Yscloskey Men,” St. Bernard \(La.\) News, January 26, 1977; “Mysterious Hovering Light Still a Mystery,” St. Bernard \(La.\) News, February 9, 1977; Ted Peters, “[Warm Light](https://vdocuments.mx/mufon-ufo-journal-1977-2-february.html?page=3) [Stops Everything!](https://vdocuments.mx/mufon-ufo-journal-1977-2-february.html?page=3)” MUFON UFO Journal, no. 111 \(February 1977\): 3–6 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5408 ### Event 39198 (0AC95283) **Date:** 1/21/1977 **Locations:** El Dorado Airport; Bogotá, Colombia **Description:** Night.

At the same time, airport radar operator Jorge Jimenez watches a target moving at 27,340 mph in a zigzag motion. Ferreira watches the light change color in response to his turning on his landing lights and head south after 3 minutes. Jimenez sees the target cut 90° to the south at the same time. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 2, no. 7 \(July 1977\): 2; UFOEv II 135 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5409 ### Event 39199 (72B5DD77) **Date:** 1/22/1977 **Location:** BRAZIL, Itapua (Viamao) **Description:** (Translated from French) At around 9:15 PM, Felizberto A. Martins, Acclino Disconzi, and Armindo B. Jacobsen, all from SOPAMA of Porto Alegre, saw a large, bright object at an elevation of 20°, three times the apparent size of the moon. It was oval, with its top part red and its bottom part displaying all the colors of the rainbow. After 30 seconds of immobility, the object moved west in a spiral motion and faded away after 5 minutes on the horizon. Five more minutes passed when an identical object appeared on the horizon and stopped vertically in the same place as the first phenomenon. This second (or the same) UFO was quite close to the witnesses, about a hundred meters away. It stayed still for a minute and then moved west. This UFO was observed for 7 minutes. **Reference:** Inforespace n° 35, p. 32 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2947 ### Event 39200 (19AD3636) **Date:** 1/22/1977 **Time:** 19:30 **Location:** CHALMETTE, LA **Description:** 6 / car.

When we arrived in front of the hospital of our town, we saw people gathered in front of the entrance, shouting. (...) A woman told us to look at the sky to the north and we saw a big glowing plate with an apparent diameter of more than 40 cm. The object was 200 m away from us, it seemed to be skimming the crest of the mountain. It flew slowly in our direction (...) Emitting a yellow light, it followed a spiroidal line without any noise. It passed over us, followed by a trail of nearly 30 m long. At that moment, the whole valley was brightly lit and the hospital was bathed in a yellow glow, something nobody had ever seen. The most astonishing thing is that the flying object, having made a turn, came back and passed over the hospital again. Everyone was very scared. (...) We rushed inside the buildings and we didn't dare come out until the valley was back in darkness. **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials". Ed.

A circular UFO with intense multicolored flashing lights, emitting waves of heat, circled the small community and landed on the banks of the Turbio River, causing panic. Two small human like figures, walking stiffly, could be seen moving about inside the object "slowly and in a robot like fashion" for the next five minutes. When a crowd of people armed with flashlights approached, the object took off when someone shone a flashlight on the object's interior.

The ground was covered in snow. He suddenly saw a rectangular object of 12 m by 3 m in color red flying over a row of trees 100 m away from him, at an altitude of about 40 m. The object was dazzling. The witness observed while driving and suddenly saw the UFO quickly depart towards the N.O. He arrived at his home: it took him 45 minutes to make a journey that normally takes 7 minutes. The departure and arrival times were confirmed by his fiancée and his mother. Under hypnosis, Lee explained that he was taken aboard the UFO, in a round room of 6 m in diameter and was put in the presence of rectangular entities, resembling jerrycans, the smallest one being 2 m tall, the largest one 5 to 6 m. Kinds of arms were coming out of the rectangular "bodies" that were burning and stinging while being cold, as if covered with a rough skin. (International Ufo Reporter vol. 2 no. 4 - 1977 p. 6, 7 reported by Inforespace, Belgium) A 19 year old young man, returning from his fiancée's and on his way home, driving in a Jeep, said he encountered at low altitude, a luminous object of red color, hovering in the sky next to the road. His next memory is of arriving at his home, with burning and stinging eyes, and calling his mother. The mother confirms that her son suffered from inflammation of the eyes and skin of both legs. There were also electromagnetic disturbances at the level of the Jeep. **Reference:** investigation by Leonard H.

He was in his pickup truck and had his dog with him. In the vicinity of Cookeville, Tennessee his dog began to act strangely, and Fender felt "like someone wanted to talk to me." Obeying an impulse, he turned off onto a side road. He noticed a long balloon-like thing that stretched along one side of the road for a distance of about a mile or so. It was white and silky in color and texture. He then saw another one on the other side of the road. Curious, he pulled over and stopped his car. His dog was by then acting quite agitated.

Suddenly, without any transition, he found himself inside a solid white oval-shaped room, or enclosure, approximately 50 feet long. He sensed, rather than observed, five humanoids gathered around him. They were small in size and they stared at him. One was to his immediate left. They began to question him about a number of things, most of which Fender was unable to remember. They also gave him certain information: they told him they "were emissaries of peace" and that they could enter Earth's atmosphere only at this point---or "window"--along the road, that this spot would "become the future home of space travel." They also told him of dire events including major catastrophes that would come about in the near future.

He was shown various scenes as though he were floating far above them, of areas of mass devastation. These included scenes of farmlands he identified as being in England, which were devoid of any life. After approximately 15 minutes he suddenly found himself back in his truck with no idea of how he got there. Along the roadside there was no longer anything unusual to be seen, and his dog was behaving normally again. He felt very strange and disturbed by the experience. Arriving at Madison an hour later than he expected, he was unable to account for the lost time. There was a good deal about the experience that he was unable to recall. He was so upset about it that within a week he drove to Washington, D.C. to report the incident officially. He went to the Department of Defense where he claimed he spoke to Defense Secretary Brown himself. His story was met with little enthusiasm. There was more to his story than he was willing to divulge to investigators, he claimed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Next he found himself inside the object with no recollection as to how he got there. He was examined by the beings, and told telepathically that they were on "a mission to study life habits" on Earth. They also told him that their craft was from a larger ship located outside the Earth's atmosphere. While on board he stuck his hand into a chamber, which cause "all sorts of lights to go off." Finally, he found himself outside an apartment complex in Concord, where for 15 minutes he was paralyzed and unable to move.

November 1966) Mrs. Bowles, still accompanied by Mr. Pratt, was in the car when they heard a sharp whistle and at the same time the car had engine stalling. Mrs. Bowles remembered: "Suddenly we were both in this machine. One of the space men was the one who had examined us. Everywhere lights were blinking and flashing. The man told us that this was his domain, whatever that might mean. One of his colleagues took out a paper with all kinds of lines on it. In the center there was a circle surrounded by rings. All the men wore boots with the tip curved upwards. These boots were luminous, as were their silver suits. They wore a belt and in the middle of it a shiny stone, and the man closest to me pressed this stone or touched it. Ted thinks it had to do with exchanging messages. All this stopped quite suddenly. We found ourselves sitting in the car, which was stopped. It was near a river, we were completely lost. A large beam of light shone on the car, then diminished as it moved away into the sky.

She and her grandmother, Mrs. Alice Buckner, went our to the yard at 7:30 p.m. for a better view and saw it hovering over a small tree less than 50 feet away. It was capsule shaped with a cylindrical vertical axis, and transparent on the side facing them with dark vertical bars. Through the transparent surface they could see a flame-like light and a human-shaped figure, gray all over gray, that looked puffed up like a balloon. It had ridges or rings running round the appendages, like the Michelin Man. She could not see any hands or feet. This figure in an inflated suit was about four feet tall and was standing crouched over in a space only barely big enough for him. The light was coming from between his feet. Mrs. Buckner walked directly beneath the object and tried to touch it but it was hovering two feet too high. She could see there was a faceplate in the being's suit, and she could barely make out some sort of face behind it. The object began to ascend, and soon passed out of sight to the south. Ms. Stovall saw three helicopters with glowing red cabin lights flying very low over the adjacent school grounds. The investigators were unable to find any plausible source for these mystery aircraft. Mrs. Dessie Turner, a neighbor, also saw the object while it hovered, and estimated that it was 6.5 feet high and 2.5 feet in diameter. She thought she could see a shadowy figure inside. She also saw the helicopters. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It illuminates the room briefly then goes out. The light is coming from an egg-shaped object about 8–11 feet wide that has landed only about 50 feet away behind a chicken coop. It is bright white with a green or blue center. For 2–3 minutes they can see and hear nothing, until the object flashes again and takes off. Three days later Gorsek notices a “glimmering dust” at the landing site and the marks of five landing gear. An analysis is performed but with ambiguous results. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Milos Krmelj, “[UFO](http://www.noufors.com/Documents/Books%2C%20Manuals%20and%20Published%20Papers/MUFON%20Journals/mufonufojournal-19779-september-130429023849-phpapp02.pdf) [Landing in Yugoslavia,](http://www.noufors.com/Documents/Books%2C%20Manuals%20and%20Published%20Papers/MUFON%20Journals/mufonufojournal-19779-september-130429023849-phpapp02.pdf)” MUFON UFO Journal, no. 118 \(September 1977\): 6–8 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5424 ### Event 39271 (057DA3CF) **Date:** 2/11/1977 **Description:** Police officers Creel and Luke had a close encounter with a UFO in Flora, Mississippi. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, March 1977, p. 3 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_833 ### Event 39272 (17549367) **Date:** 2/13/1977? **Time:** ~19:00 **Location:** LASPEYRE, FR **Description:** Silent 5M walnut-saucer follows student / mopod/motorscooter/motorbike to farm.

After going away once, it reappears right over him, illuminating him and a large area around him. He races his tractor at top speed \(15 mph\), maneuvering under struts and wires so it can’t get at him. Assistant Manager Jake Malone hears the tractor gearing up outside and sees a huge brilliantly lit object the “size of a boxcar” following Maki up the slope. When he reaches the top, the UFO hovers, silently bouncing up and down, about 500 feet from the lodge. Maki estimates the object is about 60–80 feet long.

On another occasion the witness saw a robot-like creature exploring the area after it came out of a landed craft. There were other independent witnesses of UFOs descending over the area. The witness saw a craft land in the same area a week later. Landing traces were found at the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The light is first spotted as they are driving northwest of Llíria in Valencia province, Spain, and follows them through the town of Vilamarxant. The car experiences some engine and light problems and des not seem to be able to accelerate.

The object moves away when a second auto approaches from the opposite direction.

February 4, 1977) Mrs. Coombs, with three of her five children in the car, was returning home around 8 pm when one of her sons noticed a light in the sky that seemed to be heading towards them at great speed. As the children began to scream in fear, Mrs. Coombs put her foot down as she feared the "thing" was intending to pass through the windscreen. But the UFO passed over the vehicle, made a U-turn and began to accompany the car, while Mrs. Coombs reached 80 mph and maintained this breakneck speed for 10 minutes. The object was no bigger than a football, glowed with a yellow light and projected a vertical white beam. Finally the car arrived near the house, but the engine stalled. Becoming hysterical, Mrs. Coombs got the children sitting in the back out and with them ran to the house. As she was telling her husband about the event, the eldest of the children saw the UFO disappear.

The object emitted an extremely high-pitched, piercing tone of constant intensity. Lothar ran along the outside wall of his kitchen and threw himself on the ground behind some small bushes in front of the backyard fence. The whole area was brilliantly lit now. Next Lothar heard a short whistling sound, and felt a slight draft of air. He saw, appearing from nowhere, two strange alie- looking beings directly behind him. The figures were no more than 1.10 to 1.30 meters tall. The beings had somewhat human-looking bodies, but their long arms reached almost below their knees. Also conspicuous were their oddly cramped-looking fingers, reminiscent of those of spastic children. They wore somekind of frill around the neck - somewhat like a harlequin - with some 6-7 light green "star like serrations," but he could not make any other clothing. Their skin appeared to be paler than human skin. Their hairless heads were completely round, as were their clearly defined mouths. No nose or ears could be seen, and neither did they appear to have necks. The strange figures were rocking their torsos slowly back and forth. Their eyes were slanted and large like those of a cow, and they stared unflinchingly at the witness, who was now paralyzed with fear. He was so terrified that he beat upon the glass of the closed door, instead of opening it. Abruptly, the UFO and the entities then vanished "like a light being switched off." At least six other independent witnesses saw mysterious lights and objects over the area on the same date. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The light enlarges to a thin cigar-shape, 4–5 times the width of the moon, after rushing toward him in 5 seconds. He cycles away, frightened, and has to be driven home in tears by friends. His friends and family see the object as a “star” that sets in the west in 25 minutes. Possibly Jupiter. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Case 2-4-19,” IUR 2, no. 4 \(April 1977\): 5 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5433 ### Event 39309 (5376EF64) **Date:** 2/26/1977 **Time:** 18:00 **Location:** VALLON-EN-SULLY, FR **Description:** U-shaped object makes 2 triangular loops. 90° and 135° turns and away. **Type:** sighting **Reference:** LUMIERES DANS la NUIT (LDLN), Paris.

Nearby them was a UFO about the size of a car that appeared to be transparent. When he approached to within 500 feet they quickly entered the object, and it ascended silently into the sky. When it took off the light made his eyes irritated. He drove to the landing site on his scooter but found no traces. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** J.

He sees a shimmering oval object ahead of him and silently hovering about 15 feet above the highway. It is yellowish cream around the outer edge, darkening to more yellowish in the middle. He passes directly underneath the object, which does not appear to be solid. Two miles further, Siegal sees three entities, 5 feet tall and shaped like bowling pins, in the glare of his headlights. They are arranged in a row along the left side of the road and have bulbous heads, narrow necks, and flared bodies. Unable to stop in time, he crashes into the group but feels no impact. They simply disappear as they touch the car’s bumper. Looking in his rear-view mirror, he sees all three of them reappear behind his car, shrink to a small size, and vanish. Siegal calls the RCMP from a nearby friend’s house. They find skid marks, but no traces of blood or any impact marks on Siegal’s car. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 166, 221–223 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5435 ### Event 39320 (5C150B19) **Date:** 3/4/1977 **Description:** Three UFO reports are recorded on this day in 1977 from Great Britain.

The second figure was walking away from an object that looked like a water tank, about 10 feet across and 10 to 15 feet tall, with red lights going around it. The UFO was about 50-60 feet from them. Mrs Stites said that she saw two people on the hillside carrying "basketball sized lights," and that the UFO at one point flew over the truck. They turned the truck around and drove away in great fear. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** St Louis (MO) Post-Dispatch, May 1, 1977; David F.

The UFO either landed or hovered close to the ground for five minutes, but no noticeable landing traces were found at the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ann Druffel, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1978, p. 12 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1341 ### Event 39328 (72190F76) **Date:** 3/7/1977 **Location:** ENGLAND, Winchester **Description:** (Translated from French) (cf: February 7, 1977) Mrs. Bowles was this time in a car with a friend Ann Strickland, very skeptical about Joyce Bowles' claims about space men. It was pitch black, they were driving on a deserted road, the car engine lost power and stopped. "We both got out, and then we saw this oval, luminous shape, making a faint humming sound." said Mrs. Bowles. "A man came out and came towards me, hands outstretched. He looked Ann up and down: she was terrified. So was I, but I didn't show it. The man started speaking in a foreign language, then changed to speaking a little English. I answered "yes" but I'm not sure it was the right answer, as I didn't understand him. Then he said something to me that I understood very well, but I can't tell anyone, I wouldn't dare. He looked like a space man like the ones I had already seen, but he had longer hair, it fell down his shoulders like a woman's hair. I saw like curls at the bottom of his legs, and he was wearing some kind of gaiters. His touch was warm like a human being's. As soon as he had said what he had to say to me, he turned around and went back to the Thing. We saw it take off into the air and go off with a high-pitched humming. Ann and I were on our way to visit friends, but we went straight back to Winchester, home. Mrs. Strickland, 65, said: "I didn't hear what the man said to Joyce and she refuses to tell me, for a promise she made him. I had like a black out: too surprised and shocked to see him there, and scared too. These are no longer things for my age." After this encounter Joyce Bowles had health problems: respiratory infection, and her hands so swollen she couldn't take off her ring. **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDELL: "The World's Greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

René Giraud and navigator Capt. Jean-Paul Abraham, flying a Dassault Mirage IV supersonic bomber over Chaumont, Haute-Marne, France, see a huge UFO. The light appears bigger and bigger as it approaches their aircraft from the rear right. The pilot is flying at Mach 0.98 and makes a turn to the right and then to the left to make sure the light is not a reflection of some sort in the cockpit. As he does these maneuvers, both crew members can distinguish that the light is on the front of a dark, solid object. Despite the evasive maneuver, the unidentified object manages to stay exactly behind them for a few seconds, a very dangerous situation if the unknown object is hostile. Then the object makes a turn to the northwest at an estimated speed of Mach 2, and flies away to the left of the Mirage IV. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Kean, [pp. 123–124](https://archive.org/details/isbn%5F9780307716842/page/122/mode/2up); Good Need, [pp. 304–305](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/304/mode/2up); Patrick Gross, “[Mirage IV Jet Bomber Encounters UFO, France, March 7, 1977](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/giraud77.htm)”; “[L’Observation d’OVNI du](http://ovni-extraterrestre.com/l-observation-d-ovni-du-colonel-rene-giraud-1977) [Colonel René Giraud \(1977\)](http://ovni-extraterrestre.com/l-observation-d-ovni-du-colonel-rene-giraud-1977),” OVNI et Extraterrestre, November 10, 2014 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5436 ### Event 39337 (36F5DB52) **Date:** 3/7/1977 **Description:** At nine p.m. Mrs. Jane Bowles was driving with a friend, Mrs. Ann Strickland, along a country road near Winchester, Hampshire, England when their car stopped and a brilliant glow "like a white sun" lit up the area around them.

Suddenly the airplane starts a gradual, smooth \(15° bank angle\) turn to the left by itself. Within 5–10 seconds both captain Neil Daniels, 57, and the flight officer turn and look to their left side and see an “extremely bright white light at about their own altitude.” It is perfectly round and almost 3° arc in apparent diameter. Daniels estimates its distance to be about 3,000 feet and probably as big or bigger than a DC- 10 in size. Its intensity is like that of a flashbulb. Boston Center calls them and asks, “United 94, where are you going?” Daniels replies, “Well, let me figure this out. I’ll let you know.” Then they notice that “the three compasses were all displaying different readings. The FO’s compass was within 20° arc of the compass in front of the captain and was not rotating. It was then that the FO uncoupled the autopilot and flew the airplane manually.” Meanwhile, the UAP “followed right along with us” for about 4–5 more minutes then “it took off and picked up speed very rapidly and just disappeared, over about 15 seconds, back towards our 8:00 o’clock position and slightly upward.” Daniels asked ATC if they have any radar traffic in the area and they reply, “no.” Later, ATC tells Daniels, “So whatever it was, we don’t know. But it did cause a disruption in the magnetic field around the aircraft to the point where it did pull the aircraft off course.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Richard F.

He walked to a friend's house to tell him but was not believed. About half a mile further on he noticed that he could not see the lights of farmhouses to his right. Looking closer, he saw that they were obscured by a large dome-shaped object, dark in appearance, about 30 to 40 feet in diameter and 40 feet high, that was resting in the adjacent field. Around its underside there was a dim glow of light. As he watched he heard footsteps, and looking around only a few yards away was a figure "like a skinny human six-foot tall." The being looked "like an old man" with high cheekbones, and had large round eyes resembling those of a fish. Over its mouth was a box like device with a tube leading over the shoulder. It was wearing a one-piece suit that looked semi-transparent. Taylor took a swing at the figure and ran for home. On arrival he found his dog acted strangely toward him, snarling and barking, and had to be put outdoors. The dog behaved normally the next day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

As they are getting ready to take a photo, the floor of the desert around them suddenly brightens. They see a large mass of light rise from behind a distant range of hills and hover for many minutes just above the horizon. Quickly, they turn the camera on its tripod toward the light and take a time exposure. Several minutes pass and suddenly the light moves rapidly to the north and disappears in the distance. The trail of light on the photo shows the light’s departure. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[1977 Nocturnal Light Photograph Reported,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1980%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV1.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 1, no. 1 \(May 1980\): 1; “[Tucson](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1980%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV1.pdf) [1977 Nocturnal Light Remains Unidentified,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1980%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV1.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 1, no. 4 \(August 1980\): 2 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5446 ### Event 39373 (91B6A180) **Date:** 3/15/1977 **Description:** At 8:30 p.m. Mrs. Joan Le Clair and four other local people saw a UFO hovering over some nearby trees in West Jacksonport, Door County, Wisconsin.

The woman had a brief recollection of seeing several tall humanoids without mouths, who communicated with her telepathically and showed her a book. She later recalled that the craft was flat, streamlined, and black in color. A beam of light was shone on the couple and apparently took them inside the UFO. The eyes of the aliens were reportedly black and shiny but rounded towards the nose and did not blink. The aliens were about six and a half to seven feet, thin, with delicate bodies, and very long fingers. They wore skintight one-piece diver outfits like wetsuits. Their heads were completely hairless. The inside of the craft resembled a doctor's office: it was very bright white and warm. The wife was made to lie on a very cold table, where she was strapped down and observed many instruments, one of which made a buzzing sound. The woman had been involved in previous close encounter incidents. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He claims that the four phalanges are a characteristic - for all those who show this peculiarity - of his extraterrestrial origin. Another example is Marcos Pinel from Seville who invented the magnetic energy system which earned him 320 million pesetas paid by the Swiss for the exploitation patent. He is therefore of extraterrestrial origin, but he is also human, with the peculiarity that he can always count on the help "of the others" to heal people, to predict lottery winning numbers, etc. At the age of 13, thanks to his extraterrestrial parents, he was able to make a trip to the United States where he stayed in Louisiana and where tall extraterrestrials with red hair and childlike faces taught him a lot of secrets. When he returned home a week later, he got the beating of his life from his biological father. **Reference:** Article by Ignacio Darnaude Rojas-Marcos of April 14, 1982, and article in ABC - Spain "En pocas palavras" Tuesday 21.6.1982 page 31, article by Benigno Gonzalez **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2956 ### Event 39401 (23D836A0) **Date:** 4/1977 **Location:** MEXICO, Topilejo **Description:** (Translated from French) On the federal highway from Cuernavaca to Mexico, Victor Gastorena Guerrero and Pablo Mujica Garcia, among other witnesses, suddenly saw a huge blue object in the sky. They lost sight of it for a moment but soon stopped to follow the trajectory of the craft. They saw a dark blue cylindrical beam of light coming out of the UFO. In an instant, the beam touched the ground, enveloping the vegetation and a rest area of about twenty square meters. The brightness was so strong that it seemed that this area had disappeared. The object rose and moved away quickly towards the northwest. A few moments later, the witnesses got out of the vehicles to see what had happened to this strange phenomenon. To their great surprise, the whole part of this environment, including the vegetation, was completely frozen. The plants, leaves, flowers, and grass were covered with frost as if each element was wrapped in a flexible glass. It was so aesthetically perfect that it was a visual enchantment. Witnesses tasted this ice without detecting any difference with the ice from a freezer. The area emitted an intense cold that extended to the witnesses. **Reference:** report by Fernando J.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977- (NICAP: 07 - Entity Cases) **Reference:** [NICAP Listing by Date PDF](http://www.nicap.org/NSID/NSID_DBListingbyDate.pdf) **Source:** NICAP_DB, **ID:** NICAP_DB_4767 ### Event 39409 (4A32DC89) **Date:** 4/4/1977 **Description:** Tucson, Arizona - A 52-year-old woman was watching jackrabbits by moonlight on the Veterans Administration Hospital grounds at 1:30 a.m. when she heard a whirring noise and looked up to see a luminous white UFO coming down for a landing. It was ellipsoidal in shape with fuzzy contours, and landed approximately 30 to 40 feet away. The top of the object was a soft luminous pink, and something like a horizontal periscope or boom protruded form the right side. The object was about 40 to 50 feet in diameter and about 20 feet high. The whirring ceased when it landed, but she saw no landing gear. Then a human like figure, well over six-foot tall with very broad shoulders, walked toward her from the UFO. She had not seen him emerge through a door in the craft. He wore a silvery one-piece uniform that was tight-fitting, like a frogman's wetsuit, and he had on mitten-like gloves. He spoke to her, saying "I am Onleel, I want to talk with you, come with me." She saw only his eyes and no other facial features. The eyes were large and dark. The voice was probably telepathic and it seemed to come from his eyes. She felt compelled to obey. The next thing she remembers she is inside the ship, with no recollection of how she got onboard.

She followed Onleel through a main central room and through a doorway to a smaller room. In the room are three or four other beings, in general similar to Onleel but smaller in size, between four to five feet tall. They wore brown one-piece suits with boots. Two were seated at a control panel, while the third stood before a screen. They paid no attention to her. She had the impression that might have been female, but there was nothing about their shape to suggest this except their smaller size. The fittings and furniture were all of "spun aluminum" and there was a bright light that illuminated the interior that came from no visible source.

Continued: In the smaller adjacent room Onleel sat the witness down and offered her an aluminum cup with liquid resembling milk. She declined the drink. Then Onleel asked her a number of questions, some of which were of a highly personal nature, indicating that he must already know a great deal about her. He asked her what she would do in various hypothetical situations, and he discussed with her aspects of reincarnation. When asked how she would react to the prospect of facing death, she responded by saying she would accept it. He told her that she was "one of the developing ones---there are many of you scattered all over the planet," and he said they "would be coming back for her." The witness asked when and why, and he answered, "it is not for you to know."

His voice came out in a metallic monotone, like it was computer generated. After the quiz, which lasted perhaps 20 to 30 minutes, she found herself outside the object with no recollection of how she got there, dazed and upset. She was on the street outside the VA Hospital grounds near her own apartment. She got home at about 2:30 a.m. There were many things about her experience she is unable to remember. She had been wearing a new pair of shoes, and that morning she noticed that they were covered with what looked like desert dust and burrs. In a way this confirmed for her the reality of her experience, that it had not been a dream. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It was about five feet in diameter, with eight "pods or legs", windows or doors all around it, and an antenna on top. The interior was a bright red, and it contained six three-foot-tall occupants who had long slit-like eyes, ape like noses, and no hair. The skin of their faces seemed very wrinkled. They wore gloves. Mrs Fortier could hear "a garble of voices" talking, like a bunch of CB voices, and felt a great deal of heat come from the craft. She watched it for about 15 minutes, after which it rose straight up and flew off to the south. When she got back in the house she found her face and legs red from the heat. Her dog, which reacted noticeably to the object, would still not let her go near the area a month later. No traces were found at the landing site, which had been muddy. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Dorothee, Quebec, Canada was in her kitchen at seven p.m. when she saw a strong light come in her back window. When she raised the blind she saw a disc-shaped object with a dazzling, pulsating white luminosity, about 35 feet in diameter. It was hovering several yards above a tree 35 feet tall. It bore a pulsating red luminous domed cupola on top without windows. Around its lower periphery revolved yellow, green, blue, and red blinking lights. She heard a buzzing sound like a huge swarm of bees.

After watching the UFO for perhaps 15 seconds, she ran to her bathroom and hid. Two minutes later the noise and the light ceased. She went out on the street in front of her house where she found a 13-year-old boy, Jos Madison, pointing a carbine at the sky. The now silent disc-shaped UFO was hovering 100 feet up in a tilted position. Jos did not fire his gun, but called to his friend Alair Narby, also 13 years old. Jos's two sisters also joined them and watched the UFO, which was now moving from place to place above the houses by jumps too rapid to observe. It then stopped in place for more than five minutes, during which Mrs. Madison came out and also observed it.

Now after sunset, the UFO moved off toward the Nadon River, where it again dashed back and forth. The two boys followed it to the Nadon field by the river, in which there was a temporary pond formed by melted snow. They saw the UFO approach the river, flying very low, and it skimmed over the pond producing a loud sizzle of boiling water. It then landed behind a slight rise. It then emitted a very strident sharp sound. After four or five minutes a humanoid being appeared, visible from the waist up because of the terrain. He had a helmeted head, shiny red and metallic shoulders, and was seen from the rear. He appeared in front of the object. Above his head was a red light, apparently floating in midair. He looked to the right and left, then bent down and was not seen again. Shortly afterward the disc rose, lit up, and at an altitude of about 65 feet resumed its erratic movements. Darkness had fallen and the boys returned home, finally running because it seemed to them the UFO was following them. They temporarily suffered partial deafness, perhaps from the UFO's noise. At least three families on the block experienced total interference with their TV reception during this time. At the landing site different tracks and what appeared to be footprints were found. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Marc Leduc, UFO Quebec, April 1977, issue # 10; HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-74, citing Marc Leduc **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1870 ### Event 39421 (CE916AC2) **Date:** 4/7/1977 **Time:** 20:50 **Location:** EDMONTON, ALTA **Description:** Several kids / schoolyard.

The second was a seven to eight foot tall humanoid figure, who floated in the air with arms out and legs bent back, like a "free fall parachutist." There was only about 35 feet between the man and the observer. No features could be seen on the figure's face, and it wore a uniformly silver-gray "boiler suit." It remained motionless in the air for more than 25 minutes. Then both the being and the ovoid object began slowly moving off, gradually disappearing from view in the distance. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

As the husband looked for a diaper in the car he glanced out a window and saw a twelve foot tall hairy creature with fierce glowing red eyes. The creature uttered some guttural sounds and made an apparent aggressive move towards the car. They drove off quickly, but the creature chased their vehicle as they attempted to flee. It pounded angrily on their car and dented it, flinging its arms up and down. The following night the couple saw a similar creature perched near a tree that was overlooking their mobile home. The creature took several steps towards the house and was shot at by the husband several times, at which point it seemed to jump up and disappeared in plain sight. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Schmid notices the first of four “lightning-like lights” in an otherwise clear sky. Ground radar calls the plane’s attention to a target 15 miles away at their 1 o’clock position. The crew sees two targets briefly at that position but only on radar. Then all three of them see another flash. Maastricht radar watches the target fall back east of the plane and rush at high speed back to a 1 or 2 o’clock position only 3 miles away. There is still no visual contact. A few minutes later, a third silent lightning-like flash is seen just in front of the airliner. Maastricht radar watches the target playing with the plane behind its tail and right wing, where the fourth flash is seen. A military radar places the speed of the target when moving fast at Mach 4 or 5. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 2, no. 6 \(June 1977\): 2 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5458 ### Event 39448 (6A24E587) **Date:** 4/15/1977 **Time:** 19:00 **Location:** ALSAGER, CHESHIRE **Description:** Ex-RAF Test Pilot and 1 / (seen thru) binoculars.

It was between 3.5 and 4 feet tall and had a small, slender body with a very large melon-shaped head, showing no features except two large round orange glowing eyes. Its skin was gray, "like the color of a shark," and it had large hands and feet with digits that appeared to wrap around whatever supported them. It turned its head slowly to stare at them. Bill drove away quickly, but his companions had not seen it. An artist, he made a drawing later for investigators, now widely reproduced in many sources. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Its eyes looked like two lighter circles in the center of its head. A sketch of the creature matched the one made the night before by a 17-year-old man who saw the creature on top of a stone fence next to Farm Street. There was a third sighting of the creature the following night by two teenage girls driving down a road in Dover. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Pauline had seen it first, but she said nothing about it to her husband until he himself saw it. "It must have been over seven-foot tall, because we could not see its face." It was described as three feet wide, surrounded by a luminous glow. Its box shaped helmet framed a dark square area in which no face was visible. They called the BUFORA investigator Randall Jones Pugh, and the police immediately, but the figure had gone before they arrived. Mrs Coombs and her family had been involved in two other UFO incidents prior to this encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Hugh Turnbull, FSR, June 1977, p. 6, citing Western Telegraph, April 28, 1977; David F.

At a point 1.2 miles east-northeast of the Baxter sighting the previous night, they saw a small figure crouching on all fours, facing their car, in the lefthand lane of the road. It looked like a hairless, beige-colored small ape, but with a very large, oblong-shaped head. It had two large round eyes in the center of its head, which glowed green in the car's headlights. No nose, ears, or tail could be seen. They drove past within eight feet of the creature, which Abby observed closely for about five seconds. Her companion, occupied with driving the car, only glimpsed it briefly. Neither of them knew of the other earlier sightings at the time. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-22 (A1724), citing Loren Coleman, Joseph Nyman & Walter Webb; Jerome Clark, Fate, March 1978, p. 50 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2261 ### Event 39488 (61DD5272) **Date:** 4/24/1977 **Location:** GREAT BRITAIN, Milford (or Broad) Haven (Wales) **Description:** (Translated from French) (cf. February 24, 1977) Pauline Coombs and her husband Billy were watching television. Around midnight (around one in the morning) as they were about to turn off the TV, Billy saw through the window (Pauline Coombs suddenly looked towards the window) that the courtyard lamp was not working and that the neighboring farm was plunged into darkness, which was unusual. (these facts are not mentioned in the English report) At a hundred meters (in the frame of the window stood a monstrous being more than 2 meters tall) from the house appeared a strange bright shape: it was impossible to discern what it could be, and the young woman was frightened. The couple then clearly saw a large figure in a silver suit approaching the bay window as if he wanted to observe what was happening in the house. He wore a helmet with edges that fell over his shoulders. (He wore some kind of helmet with a luminous visor, a tube coming out of his mouth and going towards the back of his head) His hands were gloved, his feet shod in heavy boots, his face hidden behind an opaque window. He did not insist, turned around and disappeared into the night. (When the creature, with slightly luminous clothing, touched the window, it began to vibrate loudly) The giant had a very slow gait. The dog, during all this time, was crouching in the farthest corner of the house growling softly. (from this visit the Coombs couple kept two tangible memories: the rosebush near the house completely trampled, and a television completely burned. Six months later they had to euthanize their dog who had never recovered from his fear. They called the police right away.) (Jacques DEGAS - Nostra - 28.4.1982) (for the underlined precisions: Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDELL: "The World's Greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed. Hamlyn 1995, p 140, 141) They saw outside a giant being who must have been nearly 3 meters tall, because his head, which could not be seen, was hidden by the top of the window which was still 2.50m from the ground. This stranger was knocking on the window and the two spouses were terrified, as was their dog Blackie who had gone to hide in a corner. Billy called the police, but when two policemen arrived the giant had disappeared. The next day they discovered giant footprints 60 cm long that led them to a place where the grass was flattened and half burned, forming an almost perfect circle.

Corporal Armando Valdès then moved away in the direction of the light, when another (or the same) suddenly appeared much closer. Taking a few steps forward, Valdès gradually disappeared for a few minutes before the UFO also disappeared. A quarter of an hour later Valdès reappeared gradually and exclaimed "Muchachos" before collapsing unconscious. In this quarter of an hour his beard had grown as it would have done in several days, his watch had advanced fifteen minutes and indicated April 30! **Reference:** J.C.

At this point a bright light envelops Valdés and he apparently vanishes in a mist in plain view of the others. The soldiers frantically begin searching for him but are unable to find him. At around 4:15 a.m., Valdés suddenly reappears. He has a strange look on his face and he gives out a sinister laugh, asking several times where his mother is. Then he says, again in a very sinister sounding voice, “You will never know who we are and where we come from.” The others notice that he appears to have a week’s growth of beard, whereas he had been clean-shaven just an hour ago, and his digital watch indicates the impossible date of April 30. He is almost in hysterics and one of the soldiers has to slap him, at which point Valdés faints. One of the other soldiers, Raúl Salinas, who has been standing a few feet in back of the others, notices a strange humanoid creature behind some nearby rocks. He describes it as half animal and half human; no facial features are visible, but it seems to be wearing a helmet and is carrying a red light. Salinas is stunned to see the creature appear at several places simultaneously. He thinks that there might be several humanoids. He does not mention this to the others at the time, since they are already scared, but the others do not see the humanoid or humanoids. When Valdés wakes up he cannot remember where he has been. In 2013, Valdés, now an evangelical pastor, admits that no one on the patrol saw aliens—only that they saw something that frightened them. He claims he only left the group to go urinate. Many ufologists now feel that the Chilean government encouraged the abduction scenario to mask the presence of troops and horses in northern Chile in the event of a war with Argentina or a regional conflict. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Caso Cabo Valdés](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caso%5FCabo%5FVald%C3%A9s)”; “Foreign Forum,” IUR 2, no. 7 \(July 1977\): 2; “[The Chilean Abduction,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201977%2007%2000%20-%20Vol%2026%20No%201.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 26, no. 1 \(July 1977\): 1, 3; “Cabo Valdés se confiesa: ‘Nunca me abdujeron,’” La Cuarta, February 18, 2018 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5468 ### Event 39498 (AEB1694D) **Date:** 4/25/1977 **Description:** At 3:50 a.m. eight soldiers on a military patrol on the Pampa Lluscuma, Chile suddenly saw a bright light nearby. The soldiers' dog and horses remained still while the lights hovered nearby. The leader of the group, Corporal Armando Valdes, ordered the other soldiers to put out their campfire. The two large lights were about 800 meters away, and hovering close to the ground. Cpl. Valdes approached the lights, ordering them to identify themselves. At this point a bright light enveloped Valdes and he vanished in plain view of the others. The others began frantically searching for him but they were unable to find him. At around 4:15 a.m. Valdes suddenly reappeared. He had a strange look on his face and he emitted a sinister laugh, asking several times where his mother was.

It is assumed the Chilean military conducted various medical tests on Valdes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

(...) As she was returning, around 8:30 pm, from the match (or where her 19-year-old son had played) accompanied by this boy and the other children (18, 10 and 3 years old) the mother saw large circular lights above the coastal hills towards the southwest. As they pulsed and blinked, they rose one after the other and then seemed to approach the ground between the observers and the horizon. (the 10-year-old boy drew the configuration: a large cream-colored object surrounded by 6 smaller objects in green, red and blue).(...) When they reached the intersection with a road called Old Redwood Highway, one of the objects seemed to detach from the group and suddenly dive towards the pavement and approach within 12 meters. (...) the road was flooded with light, the intensity was painful. The mother drew the object which she estimated the diameter to be 15 meters. It had several portholes and two beams of light emanated from it.(...) The eldest daughter had also drawn an oval object with its red glow. She added an important detail: a face observing them through the windows. The silhouette resembled a frog head. (...) The mother, the 18-year-old daughter and the 10-year-old boy were taken with nausea and the boy vomited. The 19-year-old son and the 3-year-old girl had no physiological disturbances. (...)

Stringfield](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard%5FH.%5FStringfield)’s Situation Red: The UFO Siege! is published, supporting the thesis that the US military has acquired extraterrestrial hardware and possibly bodies. The book immediately prompts dozens of alleged first- hand witnesses of crashed UFOs or alien bodies to contact Stringfield with their stories. One of his informants is a medical doctor \(“Doctor X”\) who says he has conducted medical tests on alien cadavers at a major medical facility in the eastern US. Stringfield is later able to visit Doctor X and a colleague of his, Doctor Y, who has examined an alien tissue sample under a microscope. The aliens are said to be 3.5–4.5 feet tall, weighing 40 pounds, with large heads. They have slender torsos and long, thin arms. Their skin is tan or gray, elastic, and reminiscent of reptilian skin. A colorless liquid is present in the bodies; there are no red cells. The eyes are slanted without pupils, and they have heavy brow ridges, apertures in place of ears, small noses, and slitlike mouths. They have no teeth. Doctor X avoids Stringfield’s later questions. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Leonard H. Stringfield, Situation Red: The UFO Siege!

Two policemen are dispatched, and they see a “large bright red light” on the eastern shore. They exit their vehicle and notice an object like a “bell tent” about 900 feet away that continuously pulsates from dull to very bright red for the next 2–3 minutes. The UFO seems to be hovering silently. Then the object appears to “dissolve on the spot.” The officers decide somewhat reluctantly to go across the lake and investigate. Then one of them looks up and briefly sees a thin, large, white crescent hanging in the sky. This also dissolves on the spot. Reaching the location of ground zero, they find nothing except a strong burning smell. They make a report to the local UFO group, the Essex Hotline, and investigator Barry M. King interviews one of the officers that night. The next day, one large bush is found damaged: flattened in the center and slightly burned. A gorse bush appears to have borne a heavy weight, because almost all the limbs are snapped off the central branch and displaced in an outward-radiating splay. No radiation or magnetic anomalies are found. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Barry M.

It carries flashing red, green, white, and blue lights located in circles around the rim. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 3, no. 2 \(February 1978\): 2 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5477 ### Event 39526 (ABB85C23) **Date:** 5/3/1977 **Location:** Wilcox, Pennsylvania **Description:** 9:20 p.m. A woman in Wilcox, Pennsylvania, sees a large silver sphere with many blue lights around its equator. The object hovers close to the west side of her house, casting a spotlight on the ground. It begins moving and disappears straight up in one second. Her two dogs refuse to go near the spot afterward and are fussy about eating. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Case 2-6-53,” IUR 2, no. 6 \(June 1977\): 3 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5478 ### Event 39527 (C26102DD) **Date:** 5/3/1977 **Description:** At 3:55 a.m. police in Hainault Forest, England took an emergency telephone call. The caller said that some strange UFO was over the forest near the small lake. Two policemen were directed to the scene. Arriving, they proceeded along the lake road and noticed a "large bright red light" across on the eastern shore. They stopped, exited their vehicle, and then observed a "bell tent" shaped thing, about 300 yards distant. This object pulsated continuously from dull to very bright red for the next 2 to 3 minutes. The UFO seemed to be hovering silently. Then, as they watched apprehensively, the object appeared to "dissolve on the spot". Because the thing was no longer visible, the officers somewhat reluctantly decided to go across the lake and investigate the spot. As they were doing this, one of them looked up and briefly saw a thin, large, white crescent shape hanging in the sky. This "apparition" also dissolved on the spot. Reaching the location of ground zero, as best they could tell, they found nothing at all, except a strong smell of burning. No cause could be determined. A report was immediately made to the local UFO investigator [The Essex Hotline], and field investigator Barry King came out and interviewed the officer that very night. In daylight, one large bush was found to have damage: it was flattened in the center and slightly burned. The gorse bush appeared to have had a very heavy weight set on top of it, and the result was to break almost all of the limbs, including snapping off the central branch. The pattern of breakage was to displace the branches into an outward radiating splay. No radiation nor magnetic anomalies were found. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Barry M.

Investigators: Ron Schaffner and Betty Parks. "We were walking the dog, and she got excited about something. She ran off and I followed her. When I caught up to her, we smelled this putrid smell, like rotten eggs. As my friend circled around, we suddenly saw this creature, 9 feet tall and weighing at least 500 pounds. It had brown, dirty hair and eyes that seemed to be white. Its arms were so long, they almost touched the ground. The creature chased us from under the bridge, across the soybean field, all the way near our house. It was standing behind us and taking very big strides. When we got to the main road, we no longer saw it." When they got home, having told their parents about the event, the police were immediately called. The police officers accompanied the boys to the sighting location, but the young witnesses did not want to get out of the car. For an entire week, one of the boys also refused to open the window of his bedroom.

It appeared to come from a nearby woods. When they approached and saw a domed cylindrical object near the ground about 300 meters away. It had a steady red light on top of the small dome. The object was metallic in color and about 30 feet long, and it had a red band encircling the lower section. The girls believed the object was hovering two feet above the ground---the same height as a fence situated between them and the object. They could not see any landing gear. To the right of the object was a very tall, thin "man," partially hidden by some bushes. He stood at least six-foot tall, and his arms were disproportionately short. He wore a silver coverall uniform. When he started to move toward them, the girls became frightened and fled. When they reached a safer distance, they turned around and saw that the man had disappeared. The object then began to ascend, moving off in three jerky "stepped up" maneuvers, and finally ascending vertically at a terrific speed. They hurried home and told their parents, who said they had heard the humming sound. The police were notified, and a circular area of scorch marks was found at the site, with minor damage over an area of about 100 yards including singed trees and underbrush. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, FSR, January 1978, p. 7; Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland: The Secret History of Scotland's UFO phenomenon, p. 120; David F.

David Edwards is flying at 28,000 feet over the Bay of Biscay off the coast of France at a speed of Mach 0.86 when they observe bright lights coming from the west. The lights resemble aircraft landing lights, but they soon blink out leaving a large orange glow with a bright-green fluorescent spot. An object emerges from the glow, moving to the west, climbing at an angle of 45°, and leaving a thin contrail. The radar operator reports jamming-type interference. Camera film from the aircraft’s radar records a “strong response” from the direction of the sighting, consisting of three separate radar returns at varying distances, the third made up of three targets all 600 feet wide. On the film the UFO appears as an “elongated shadow.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Good Need, [pp. 305–307](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/304/mode/2up); UFOFiles2, [pp. 92–94](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n153/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5492 ### Event 39610 (28CBCE3B) **Date:** 5/26/1977 **Location:** Detroit, Michigan **Description:** 8:45 a.m. Two witnesses in Detroit, Michigan, see three blue teardrop-shaped objects moving in a V- formation.

Two men emerged from a hovering machine less than 25 meters away and headed towards them. They were different from the men previously encountered by Ted Pratt. "They had sandy-colored hair, and they were wearing solid and metallic suits" he said. "They said they were there to help humanity, something about war. They were scared of our mania to destroy ourselves and pollute the atmosphere. They stretched out their hands and took ours. I was very scared. They were making signs with their hands, but I didn't understand. They said goodbye and returned to their craft. It took off and disappeared into the sky. We were there completely shocked. I suppose we had met them for ten minutes. Mrs. Bowles adds: "They pressed a small silver disc into my right hand. Later I had a special white mark there. They said they would come back, but I don't want that anymore. I feel like a marked person. It's not good to talk about it with people, nobody believes me". **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDELL: "The World's Greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

He notices he is losing power as he rides up a small hill. A car is just starting to pass him, and it too is slowing down. Suddenly, both bike and car are enveloped in a nearly blinding, fuzzy, ultraviolet light. Henshall feels his bike being pulled up the incline and notices steam pouring off his back and legs, which are getting unbearably hot. The motorcycle and car stop just as the misty violet glow overhead vanishes. The car driver tells Henshall that he lost all engine power for 30 seconds and yet was pulled forward. The metal side of the motorbike is far hotter than normal and impossible to touch without risking serious burns. The brakes are found to be so badly worn that they need a complete resetting. When Henshall returns home, his mother notices that his face is sunburned and hot to the touch. He also experiences nausea for a few days. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Brian Straight, “[Vehicle Stop near Barnard Castle,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2023%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 5 \(February 1978\): 6–7 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5497 ### Event 39630 (2E53909E) **Date:** 6/6/1977 **Description:** A disc with red, orange, and green colored lights hovered for 20 minutes over the Wangara Valley, New Zealand.

A 16-year-old motorcyclist saw two purple objects for 30 seconds along the side of the road. A pinkish-purple object, shaped like an oval meat dish, suddenly appeared over his cycle and an approaching car. The engines of both vehicles began to lose power. Both vehicles were dragged twenty-five feet along the highway not under their own power. The motorcyclist also felt increased heat and the motorcycle's metal body became hot to the touch. The object then suddenly disappeared. The next day, the brakes on the cycle were found to be abnormally worn. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** FSR, February 1978, p. 6; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 411, citing FSR **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3333 ### Event 39632 (FFD7A3FE) **Date:** 6/9/1977 **Time:** 21:00 **Location:** MT.

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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Center for UFO Studies files, report by Douwe Goaga dated February 8, 1978 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3444 ### Event 39640 (925C8B90) **Date:** 6/14/1977 **Location:** White House **Description:** President [Jimmy Carter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy%5FCarter) is allegedly given a UFO briefing at the White House and bound to secrecy.

José Francisco Rodrigues is flying a Portuguese Air Force Dornier Do 27 light plane over the Castelo de Bode dam in central Portugal. When he emerges from the clouds, he sees a dark object against a backdrop of white stratocumulus clouds, slightly to the right of his plane. Thinking that the object is a cargo plane, he banks to the left and immediately radios to ask if there is any traffic in the vicinity. Air controller Sgt. Jose Vicente Saldanha replies in the negative. As Rodrigues completes a turn to port, the object suddenly appears at his 11 o’clock position no more than 20 feet away. It is definitely not a cargo plane. The upper section, partially concealed by cloud, is black, and on the lower section there are four or five panels. The object is about 42–50 feet in diameter. Suddenly it accelerates and vanishes from what the pilot believes is an initial stationary position. The Dornier begins to vibrate violently and goes into an uncontrolled dive. Struggling to regain control, Rodrigues pushes the control column forward. Air speed increases to 160 mph then 207 mph as the ground comes nearer. He regains control when almost “touching the tree tops” and the plane lands in one piece with a badly shaken pilot. During the encounter the directional electric gyroscope \(connected to a magnetic compass\) rotates wildly, and by the time the plane lands it has deviated by 180° relative to the magnetic compass. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Willy Smith, “Unknown Intruder over Portugal,” IUR 10, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1985\): 6–8; Good Above, [pp. 154–156](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/154/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5501 ### Event 39651 (4FECBC77) **Date:** 6/17/1977 **Location:** Cotile Lake Recreation Area, Louisiana **Description:** Dusk. Five individuals—Dale Schexnaider and his wife, their two daughters, Jena, 14, and Krissy, 11, and a close family friend—are breaking camp and preparing to go home from the Cotile Lake Recreation Area, Louisiana. Just before they reach the clearing that leads to the road, the male friend begins feeling a “low frequency vibration” in his bones. Looking upward, he sees the outline of a huge, disc-shaped UFO hovering completely still, surrounded with points of light. The friend estimates it is about 75 feet across and 50 feet tall. The two daughters have been talking, but they too notice the humming noise and see the UFO. The object then floats almost directly above them, and the middle of the craft starts to glow. Several rays or beams of blue light shoot from the UFO, striking them in the solar plexus. It is an intense, electric, silver-blue, thin beam. They hear crackling sounds in the air and they can’t move. Slowly they force their heads down to see their arms glowing with electric blue light. Movement is difficult—as in a dream, slow and heavy. After about 10 seconds, all the lights vanished instantly, along with the force field. The craft begins to glide away over the treetops. The children are frantic, and the male friend is inwardly terrified. The parents are back at the camp and see none of this. The case is reported to [J. Allen Hynek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek) by a friend, and he later visits the witnesses and speaks to all three. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “A CE-II As a Picnic Guest,” CUFOS Bulletin, Summer 1980, pp. 1, 3; “An Electric-Blue Close Encounter,” CUFOS Bulletin, Spring 1981, pp. 4–5, 10, 12 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5502 ### Event 39652 (BFF05500) **Date:** 6/17/1977 **Description:** In 1977 a 29-year-old man returned home in Austin, Texas at about 2:00 a.m. He saw a light in the distance he thought was an airplane but heard no engine sound.

They went up, down, forward and stopped, all the while turning clockwise. Finally they began to go up following a spiral line and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

This object was as big as the largest existing bowls. It was turning slowly, silently, and it was surrounded by a grayish ring similar to Saturn's. The object was 40° above the water's surface and followed the course of the river. (...) When it arrived under the building overlooking the river, near the boats, we could clearly distinguish it. It was an elongated sphere and its ring was composed of ten small, equally sized, luminous balls. To be more precise, these balls were only thin, luminous saucers. (...) Shortly after, the formation began to turn faster and higher in the sky, and suddenly everything disappeared. (July 1977) **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials". Ed.

There was a low-toned hum as it moved at about 25-30 mph.

Residents claim that scars on their bodies are caused by lights in the sky that they call “Chupa Chupa” \(literally “sucker-sucker”\). Believing it will keep the lights away, residents of Colares organize night vigils, light fires, and ignite fireworks. Mayor [José Ildone](http://poetavigilengo.blogspot.com/2012/06/jose-ildone-favacho-soeiro-nasceu-em.html) [Favacho Soeiro](http://poetavigilengo.blogspot.com/2012/06/jose-ildone-favacho-soeiro-nasceu-em.html) officially requests help from the Brazilian Air Force. The operation, a historic military operation in the Amazon basin, is commanded by Capt. [Uyrangê Bolivar Soares Nogueira de Hollanda Lima](https://filmow.com/uyrange-bolivar-soares-nogueira-de-hollanda-lima-a527775/). In late 1977, several photos of the lights are recorded, but the military remains skeptical. After approximately four months, the operation is closed after the Air Force can identify no unusual phenomena. The official documents can be seen in the Brazilian National Archives. According to ufologist [Jacques Vallée](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques%5FVall%C3%A9e), a number of individuals are reportedly killed as a result of the “lightning” fired at them by the UFOs, and injuries are consistent with radiation effects from microwaves. Other ufologists claim that the lights from UFOs have sucked blood from 400 people. In 1997, two decades after the operation, Capt. Hollanda gives an interview to ufologists [Ademar José Gevaerd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ademar%5FJos%C3%A9%5FGevaerd) and [Marco](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco%5FAnt%C3%B4nio%5FPetit) [Antônio Petit](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco%5FAnt%C3%B4nio%5FPetit) where he recounts his experiences living alongside his men. Three months after the interview, he is found dead in his home “after he seemingly hung himself using the belt of his bathrobe,” attracting the interest of conspiracy theorists. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Operação Prato](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera%C3%A7%C3%A3o%5FPrato)”; Jacques Vallée, Confrontations, Ballantine, 1990, [pp. 136–](https://archive.org/details/confrontationssc00vall%5F0/page/135/mode/2up) [139](https://archive.org/details/confrontationssc00vall%5F0/page/135/mode/2up)[,](https://archive.org/details/confrontationssc00vall%5F0/page/135/mode/2up) [220–226](https://archive.org/details/confrontationssc00vall%5F0/page/219/mode/2up); Good Need, [pp. 367–368](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/366/mode/2up); Timothy Good, Unearthly Disclosure, Century, 2000, pp. 187–200; “[Caso Chupa-Chupa e Operação Prato: Entrevista com o Coronel Hollanda](https://www.fenomenum.com.br/ufo/casuistica/1970/chupachupa14),” Portal Fenomenum, June 15, 2016; Brazil 442–493; Clark III 838–857; Patrick Gross, “[Colares 1977](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/colares.htm)”; Skinwalkers 117–118 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5510 ### Event 39706 (29619461) **Date:** 7/1977 **Location:** Laval, Quebec **Description:** Howard Gontovnick begins monthly publication of UFO Canada in Laval, Quebec.

M. Wood sees two luminous, round objects, 4–5 times the size of the full moon, hovering 5,000 feet in the air over the sea off RAF Boulmer near Alnwick, Northumberland, England. Two other base personnel, a Cpl. Torrington and a Sgt. Graham, watch the objects with Wood for almost 2 hours. They are tracked on base radar and at RRH Staxton Wold. The objects separate, one moving west of the other and “as it maneuvered it changed shape to become body-shaped with projections like arms and legs.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[RAF Boulmer:](https://www.ufocasebook.com/rafboulmer1977.html) [Reports of UFO Sightings Were Hushed Up,](https://www.ufocasebook.com/rafboulmer1977.html)” Northumberland Today, January 28, 2005 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5512 ### Event 39708 (7799272E) **Date:** 7/1/1977 **Location:** ITALY, NATO base at Aviano (Ponderone) **Description:** (Translated from French) The NATO base at Aviano was closed for a parade in preparation. At 3 o'clock in the morning the USAF guard observed a strange flying object above the area known as 'Victor Alert', where, in a large hangar, there were two still secret jet fighters. The object appeared as a spinning top 45 m in diameter and very low above the hangar. The upper dome part had green and white lights illuminating the surface of the object. The guard sounded the alarm and a military team arrived on the scene. They encircled the area and launched a radar call, to see if the object could be targeted. But however, for some mysterious reason, there was no more electricity on the base and the radars could not come into action. As the incident was later reported to NATO headquarters in Brussels, UFO researchers were dismissed and told that it was actually a mistake in the observation of the Moon shining above the low clouds! **Reference:** CISU **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2968 ### Event 39709 (AF46E9B2) **Date:** 7/1/1977 **Time:** 03:00 **Location:** AVIANO, ITL **Description:** 40M disk / low altitude.

Something has set off the magnetic and motion detectors in the high hurricane-type fence protecting the compound. Simultaneously a power outage occurs at the Victor Alert facility that houses fighter aircraft, and though a back- up system immediately kicks in, minor power fluxes go on for the next 15 to 20 minutes. An American soldier named James Blake sees a large bright light hovering at a low altitude above a soybean field about 600 feet beyond the fence line of the compound. Many soldiers see the object, which appears to be domed, spinning, and changing colors. It is 150 feet in diameter and making a noise like a “swarm of bees.” USAF security and a unit from the Italian National Police are dispatched, but the object moves away before the units arrive. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Antonio Chiumiento, “[UFO Alert at a NATO Base in Italy,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201984%20V%2030%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 30, no. 2 \(December 1984\): 2–5; Good Above, [pp. 144–145](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/144/mode/2up); Jerry Rowles, “[The Mystery of Aviano,](http://www.noufors.com/Documents/Books%2C%20Manuals%20and%20Published%20Papers/Specialty%20UFO%20Publications/Personal%20Collection%20of%20UFO%20Publications/MUFON%20Journals/1996/02/February%201996.pdf)” MUFON UFO Journal, no. 334 \(February 1996\): 3–6; John S.

On its back it carried a box with red and blue lights. The box lifted and the entity flew away. The witnesses observed the lights of the box above the trees. There, they were joined by other identical lights, as if another entity was waiting for it. (Janet and Colin BORD: "Modern Mysteries of the World" - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 348) A father and his daughter were at home when they saw a small entity passing under the fence, approaching the house. The father thought it was a child and asked the daughter to turn on the outside lights. This alerted the entity, which turned around. It was about one to one and a half meters tall, dressed in green, including feet, and a helmet with a transparent part in front of the face. An antenna was fixed on it, on the back a box attached to its belt, and the entity had a tail. The stranger passed under the fence again, pressed something on the belt, and flew away like Superman, towards flashing lights further away.

It was about 40 feet away, and it slipped under a farm's barbed wire fence and walked toward a lamp post only 20 feet away. The little man was only three and a half feet tall and wore a green garment that seemed to be inflated with air. He also wore a large metallic helmet with a glass face plate encasing the head that came to a slight point on top. The helmet was surmounted by a short extension with a luminous point on top. On the being's back was a box like a knapsack. Sr. De Olmos also observed that he had only four fingers, that his feet were webbed like a duck's, and that he had a short tail, not long enough to reach the ground. In his right hand he carried a small shiny object. The witness told his daughter bring him a pencil and paper so he could make a sketch, but by mistake she turned on the balcony light. When she did the being ran back to the fence, passed under it, and then stopped and put his hand on his belt. Two red and two blue lights appeared on the backpack with two downward jets of sparks came out, accompanied by a sound like an electric drill. The being ascended 10 feet into the air and flew horizontally to a grove of trees 150 yards away. Mr. Olmos, his family, and neighbors watched the lights of the figure as he moved about the trees for 10 minutes, in company with another light. During this period the cattle on the adjacent farm "went crazy," running about and bellowing. The next day humanoid tracks were found and photographed at the site. A neighbor woman had seen a luminous object descend into the woods two days before. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Sebastian Robiou Lamarche, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1978, p. 3; FSR, April 1978, p. 9; David F.

After the brightness abated, the ranch owner, Joao Batista Souza, could see that the object was a domed disc-shaped craft, resembling a straw hat. The man hid behind a mound and watched as a door in the craft opened, and a short being about one meter in height got out. The hairy humanoid was carrying some sort of torch emitting a red light in his left hand, and some other type of "tool" in his right hand. The being's face could not be seen because it was wearing a full helmet with "antennae," but the rest of its body was completely covered in hair. At this point the rancher apparently lost consciousness, because members of his family later found him lying where he had hid and carried him into the ranch house, where he remained in bed for several days, too weak to get up. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Officer Bruner and his partner Officer Coogler were parked west of the object, which appeared to be approximately hald a mile to a mile away. Bruner and Coogler got out of their vehicle and tried to observe the object better by shinning their light on it. The object moved toward the men and the officers turned off the light because they became nervous at seeing the object's response to their light. The object then moved back to its original location. They agreed that the object appeared to have six portholes surrounding a type of framework. The two officers observed the UFO for approximately 45 minutes. During that time period, the UFO appeared to stand still in mid air, pulsate, travel at incredible speeds, and fly erratically. The officers described the UFO's apparent size to be about that of a grapefruit at arm's length. Officer Bruner was convinced that the object he saw was neither a balloon nor a helicopter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, October 1977, page 4 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4279 ### Event 39792 (80AD259B) **Date:** 7/22/1977 **Time:** 22:30 **Location:** STE.CROIX-EN-PLAINE, FR **Description:** 18M bowl saucer 50M over house.

One bright light appears on a hill 900 feet away. They hear a whooshing sound, then two lights rise into the air. They next hear footsteps from Morgan Creek about 300 feet away and see two small figures floating up and down in front of a tree. Then they see several more figures at various spots carrying what seem to be flashlights. They wear tight-fitting, “skin diver” suits with glowing green belts. One of the witnesses sees a luminous red rectangular object that approaches the creek and then backs away. At this point both witnesses develop severe headaches. Then a figure on a distant hill on a neighbor’s farm shines a light on a tombstone there, and the stone seems to rise up into the air and move back and forth. A figure taller than the others, who are less than four feet tall, stands near the light on the hill and calls out an “ooh, ooh” signal. The others all approach him and, 5 minutes later, deploy back into adjacent fields. One of them approaches the house. He comes under the second-story window and drops to the ground, as if to conceal himself, then approaches the door and rattles the handle. By this time, 3:45 a.m., the older witness has called her mother, who notifies the state police. All of the lights and figures disappear just prior to the arrival of the police, the lights in the sky indistinguishable from stars. Both witnesses believe only an hour has passed but in fact more than three hours has elapsed. They complain of burning eyes and headaches that last for two days. The witnesses find three footprints in the powdery dust of their driveway.

It was dressed in light on top and dark on the bottom. Donald took a flashlight and a revolver and went outside to shine the light on the creature. Near a tree, not far away, his flashlight illuminated a UFO which quickly sent a beam of light towards Donald and his wife, who quickly returned to their home. He had a terrible headache, his ears were buzzing and he felt numb. This witness said he saw 6 or 7 UFOs and a lot of humanoids: he could even hear them walking on the roof of his house, and even an air vent was lifted. Between them, these beings were jabbering in a strange language. All this activity lasted nearly six hours and didn't end until 5 AM. **Reference:** International Ufo Reporter vol. 2 n° 9 - 1977 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2972 ### Event 39804 (EB8DFA7F) **Date:** Late 7/1977 **Location:** ITALY, Venice **Description:** (Translated from French) To early August.

They watched six or seven humanoid beings with glowing green belts, similar to those they had seen the week before. Two of them had glowing gray belts, and one of the witnesses saw two normal sized human figures that glowed a silvery white instead of green. After observing them for an hour they woke a third witness, who saw only blue-green lights. When they shone a flashlight beam on one of the figures it disappeared, but re-appeared when the light beam was removed. It gradually became very foggy, so at 4:30 a.m. they went to bed, but the first two witnesses thought they could hear the sound of a woman screaming three times, and then a door slamming. They experienced headaches and ringing in their ears. The third witness, who heard a noise like someone chiseling rock and a high-pitched chirping sound, did not suffer from a headache. They saw no UFOs that night, but there were other reported sightings in the area on subsequent nights. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, September 1977, p. 7; David F.

The mountain is known for reports of strange phenomena. During the skywatch a total of 108 nocturnal lights are observed, 82 appearing as points of light, 7 oblong in shape, 7 spherical, one like a tilted plate, 3 discoid, one like a half-moon, and 7 other miscellaneous forms. Most are yellow, but some are reddish or blue. Occasionally the unidentified lights seem to increase in luminosity in response to signals made with a flashlight. During their presence, dogs in the neighborhood bark almost constantly. The objects disappear when conventional aircraft appear in the sky. Sounds of breaking tree branches are heard, unidentified voices are registered on a tape recorder, wristwatches malfunction, and areas of flattened grass are found. On one of the last nights of the project, Giovanni Mantero claims to have seen a strange aerial entity with a transparent face. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Margaret Sachs, The UFO Encyclopedia, Putnam, 1980, [pp. 232–233](https://archive.org/details/ufoencyclopedia00marg/page/231/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5539 ### Event 39850 (730F209B) **Date:** 8/3/1977 **Description:** In Thaxted, Essex, England a 24-year old man named Stevens was driving at around 3:30 a.m. when his car lost power from 50 mph to 35 mph despite applying full throttle.

The pathway between the two villages winds along a creek at the foot of a mountain, with lush vegetation along the way. While walking along the footpath, at around 7:55 p.m., she was momentarily blinded by a bright reflection of light. About 20 meters further on, another flash of light again shone in her face. She believed it was a bicycle headlight, but she quickly felt her strength ebb away as the light source was replaced by two strange humanoid figures: a woman two meters tall and a slightly shorter man. The woman had long platinum hair that hung to the middle of her back, but the man's hair was shorter and slightly disheveled. Their facial features were "repulsive" to the witness because the woman had very large eyes, and only two holes where her nose should be, with a slit-like mouth that moved without opening. Both figures were dressed in tunics; the woman's was a dark green color, but shiny as if made up of many tiny points of light, with wide long sleeves that went to her hands. The tunic extended to the ground so her feet were unseen. The man's tunic was a light chestnut color, and also with brightly reflecting points of light. It came to his knees, below which was a narrow, darker tunic that extended to the ground. Their skin was citron yellow in color. While the woman gesticulated with her arms, both beings remained indifferent to the witness's presence. Feeling faint, Caferina sat down on a rock and then passed out. When she came to there was no one there and it was then dark. Frightened and upset, she ran back home. It was 8:50 p.m. when she got home, nearly an hour after her encounter began.

A second object comes out of the hills to the northeast and stops directly above the first object at about 400 feet. The lower object rises up to join the other briefly, and they can see a blinking red light on top. The objects accelerate to the south and vanish from sight. Total duration is 5 minutes. \(“Case 2-9-89,” IUR 2, no. 10 \(October 1977\): wrap\) August 13 \(approximately\) — Night. At Nocero Umbra, Perugia, Italy, several witnesses, including Bruno Vitali, see a cone-shaped object “more than a meter high.” Vitali tries unsuccessfully to hit the object with his car because as he speeds forward, the object maintains the same distance. Students who investigate the site later find a stone that is intensely hot 2 days after the encounter. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 2, no. 12 \(November 1977\): 2; Mark Rodeghier, “UFO/Vehicle Very Close Encounters,” IUR 27, no. 1 \(Spring 2002\): 32 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5547 ### Event 39881 (CB22DDB2) **Date:** 8/11/1977 **Description:** In Nocera-Umbra, Umbria, Italy at 12:10 a.m. Sr. Bruno Vitali was driving home after work when his headlights picked up a shining triangular figure in front of him on the road. It was about five feet tall and not more than 30 inches wide, and was hopping in front of the car as if trying to fly away from being observed. Another man, Oscar Tega, stated he heard a very loud whistling noise at the same time just prior to the motorist's encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

A second disc approached and stopped in the air directly over the first one. The witnesses had an episode of missing time and could not recall everything that happened next. They do recall seeing a domed disc accelerate and speed quickly out of sight. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** International UFO Reporter, September 1977, p. 36; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 410; UNICAT, case # 189 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4887 ### Event 39885 (AA34DC36) **Date:** 8/12/1977 **Location:** USA, Mojave Desert, California **Description:** (Translated from French) The first model (of the space shuttle), named "Enterprise", was released from the factory in September 1976. To test its aeronautical capabilities, a test program foresaw a series of gliding flights over the Mojave Desert. The first one took place on August 12, 1977. (...) Two hundred thousand people converged to the site. (...) The show began simply with the takeoff of a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet, carrying on its back a very strange cargo, which at first glance resembled a stubby DC 9 aircraft with a delta wing. The cargo was simply the space shuttle. (...) Having reached a height of 8,000 meters, the carrier aircraft began a wide turn, descended to 6,700 meters and dropped its 68-ton cargo. This was the beginning of a five and a half minute gliding flight towards runway No. 15 of the Edwards base. (...) The shuttle stopped in less than 3 km.

The team quickly rules out a terrestrial origin or a broadcast from a satellite. Nevertheless, the signal is so powerful and unusual that Jerry Ehman, the astronomer who analyzes the data print out, annotates the signal with the word “Wow!” The Big Ear team continued to observe the same part of the sky, as have others, but the Wow! signal never returns. In 2020, using the Gaia 3D star database developed by the European Space Agency, amateur astronomer Alberto Caballero identifies a Sun-like star in the region of the sky where the Wow! signal originated. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Wow!

Leming is driving on Interstate 70 westbound about 15 miles west of the Nebraska– Colorado state border. He sees a strange object moving swiftly in the sky and pulls over to watch. It moves to the north, then veers back to the highway and runs a parallel course along the interstate. Directly over the road it remains stationary for 3 minutes, and Leming is able to take three photographs, only one of which is not blurry because the object began speeding away. He estimates it was 600 feet away, its altitude at about 500 feet above the road, positioned at a 40° angle above the horizon, and 40–45 feet from tip to tip with a downward curve at each end. Ground Saucer Watch explains the photo as a chip in the glass of Leming’s windshield, but Leming contests that. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[1977 Photograph/Sighting and 1982 Sketch Similarity,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1983-84%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV4.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 4, no. 4 \(Aug./Sept. 1983\): 1; Fred Adrian, “[Letter,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1983-84%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV4.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 4, no. 5 \(Oct./Nov. 1983\): 2–3; James R.

Moments later two figures with gold-colored faces appeared in front of the light. The light then moved to the right side near the curtains, which were the only things separating the witness from the phenomenon. Next, one of the humanoid figure started to enter his bedroom through the curtains; it had an oval-shaped head with an upside-down, triangle-shaped light on the top part of its face. The witness yelled out, causing the figure to leave, leaving a faintly luminous handprint on the curtains. Soon after this, two more figures were heard walking by. Finally, the lights and the figures vanished. Investigators reportedly found ground traces. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The inital sighting lasted just a short time, but then the UFO moved away and hovered over Mount Otero for the next two hours, turning its lights on and off, with a pulsating white halo. Traces were found: a two-meter wide circle, and several holes in the ground 8 cm diameter, and 5 cm deep. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UNICAT, case 444, citing Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Investigacion OVNI, p. 76 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5431 ### Event 39937 (AAB6D932) **Date:** 8/28/1977 **Description:** Francis Lloyd, age 24, was driving a large truck from Haverfordwest, Wales; with him was John Dwyer, age 16. Two miles outside of Carmarthern, on the A48 Highway, they had descended the Nanticaws Hill grade at 2:30 a.m. and were about to begin to climb the next hill when, at the bottom of the dip, they saw two tall humanoid figures standing on the right hand verge near the highway. The figures were at least seven feet tall, and were reddish orange in color, as if wearing celluloid suits; they had huge heads that reminded the witnesses of Guardsmen's Busbies. The figures stood motionless, facing each other slightly, and appeared to be holding some sort of object between them. They had chrome or silver-colored antennae that appeared to come out of their chests and stood as high as the tops of their heads. The two men drove right on past without stopping, and although the figures were in view for no more than six of seven seconds, they were fully lit by the eight headlights of their large rig. No craft was seen by either man. Three months later, there was a fatal car accident at the same site, killing four men. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It looked robot like, had broad shoulders, and was wearing a golden, glittering, close-fitting coverall outfit and had a broad brimmed hat, with two antennas on its head. The face looked like paper mache. They notified the carabinieri, but the figure had gone before they arrived at the scene. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

In the bushes they saw red and green lights and, intrigued, they stopped and got out of the car. A modulated and continuous sound was perceptible. They then saw a silhouette with silver-white reflections, articulated like a humanoid, first motionless, take two steps in their direction. Frightened, the witnesses got back in the car and drove towards the village. They informed other people and returned to the site around 01:00. The glows, the strange sound and the silhouette were still there. The impression was so strong that the frightened witnesses hid back in the car. Curiosity got the better of them and they returned to the site. The humanoid took two steps and they fled again. As soon as the witnesses ran away, the being retreated. This back and forth happened two or three times in 15 minutes. The 5 witnesses returned to the village to get an electric torch. They were back on site between 01:30 and 01:40 where everything was still the same. A. Capobianco then slowly headed towards the bushes up to about twenty meters from the creature and shone a beam of light from the torch. The being seemed disoriented and two orange lights (in place of eyes) started to blink. This reaction scared the witnesses again who rushed back in the car to alert the carabinieri. On the way, fearing ridicule since they had no proof of their adventure, they decided one last time to return to the site. At the top of a hill they saw like a luminous cylinder divided into vertical stripes, the top resembling a dome. At 02:00 they were back on site: nothing had changed. Again a beam of flashlight was directed at the creature, whose eyes started to blink. It seemed to invite the witnesses to come closer and indicated with one hand the sky. Immediately after, an intense beam of white light came out of the top of its head, illuminating the surroundings and blinding the witnesses. This being about 2m tall never turned its back to the witnesses and did not bend its knees. Around 03:15 the witnesses returned to the village to look for other witnesses, but in vain. They returned to the site at 03:30 but there was nothing to see, darkness reigned on the hill. **Reference:** Inforespace n° 48 of 1979, p. 16 to 19 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2976 ### Event 39941 (2C844EF6) **Date:** 8/30/1977 **Time:** 20:30 **Location:** HEALDSBURG, CA **Description:** 3 50' saucers with windows. silhouette like frogs head seen in one.. **Type:** sighting **Reference:** VALLEE, Jacques: CONFRONTATIONS, A Scientists Search..; Ballentine Books, NY 1990+91.PB (Index 63) **Source:** Hatch, **ID:** Hatch_UDB_12776 **Attributes:** **GND:** Observer(s) on ground, **CIV:** Observer(s) civilian, **NWS:** News media report, **SCR:** Classic saucer/disk/sphere shaped UFO, **MON:** Monster: Life form fits no category, **OBS:** Observation/chasing vehicles, **RAY:** Odd light/searchlight/beam/laser-like, **MST:** Missing time or time anomaly, **TCH:** New technical details/clues **Extra Data:** **Country:** "USA", **Credibility:** "6", **Duration:** "15", **Elev:** "33", **HatchDesc:** "HEALDSBURG,CA:3 50' SCRS W/WINDOWS.

They also heard an intermittent "beep-beep" sound. Continuing on foot to a nearby quarry, they saw a figure over two meters tall, wearing a silvery tight fitting coverall and a helmet. Where the eyes should have been there were two blinking orange lights. The young men fled back to Sturno, where they found three other friends, and all of them drove back to the area in a car. When they got there, all five saw the strange being advancing and withdrawing, with mechanical movements, on a steep slope. Oddly, it seemed to stand at a slant, perpendicular to the slope. Frightened, they decided not to drive the car any further into the abandoned quarry, which appeared lit up as if by a halo. Instead, they sped back to Sturno, returning again with two more witnesses. The humanoid was still there, coming and going with emissions of intermittent light from its helmet. When one of the parties flashed a light on the figure, it emitted sounds like "radio signals." It then approached the car and the sounds ceased. It came to about 15 feet away and beckoned, as though indicating for the witnesses to follow. Finally, at about 3:30 a.m., it emitted a blinding light from its helmet and disappeared. The outline of an object with portholes had been seen further down the slope. After the flash, the men fled back to the village. When they again returned both the humanoid and the object were gone. That next morning trampled bushes were foundin the quarry, along with three holes in the ground that were arranged in an isosceles triangle. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

One of the lights appeared to detach itself from the larger craft, and then descended close to the witnesses' vehicle. The smaller object was described as having several lighted windows and two beams of light. One of the witnesses claimed to be able to see a humanoid figure with a frog-like head looking out from one of the windows. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Near the object is an entity about 7 feet 10 inches tall. It has two red-orange lights in a spot where its eyes might be and is wearing metallic-looking coveralls, a possible helmet, a metallic belt, and a black box on its arm. At one point the entity shines a bright beam of light at them. The duration of the sighting is due to the original two witnesses going back and forth to a nearby village to collect additional observers. A triangle of depressions is found that indicates something as heavy as 40 tons has landed there. Some of the witnesses are regressed hypnotically and recall the same narrative. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Maurizio Verga, “[Seven](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201979%20V%2025%20N%201.pdf) [Scared Witnesses and a Humanoid,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201979%20V%2025%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 25, no. 1 \(May 1979\): 17–19, 22; 1Pinotti 205–210 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5554 ### Event 39947 (A9C0A6E3) **Date:** 8/31/1977 **Description:** At shortly after midnight two college students, Rocco Cerullo, and Michael Giovanelli, were walking from Sturno, Italy to Frigento when they saw three red lights symmetrically arranged in the midst of some bushes overlooking the road, They also heard an intermittent "beep-beep" sound. Continuing on, near a quarry a mile from Sturno, they saw a figure over two meters tall that was wearing a silver, tight-fitting suit and helmet. Where the man's eyes should be there were two blinking orange lights. The witnesses fled back to Sturno where they found three friends, and all five returned by car. The group saw the strange being advancing and retreating with mechanical movements on a steep slope. He appeared to stand at an angle perpendicular to the slope. Some rocks were disturbed and rolled down the slope. The abandoned quarry appeared to be illuminated as if by a halo, and they became frightened and went back to Sturno, returning this time with two more witnesses. The tall humanoid was still there with emissions of intermittent light from its helmet. When one of them flashed a light at the figure, it emitted radio-like sounds. When it approached the car and the sounds ceased. It came as close as 15 feet, and beckoned, as though wanting the witnesses to follow.

After the flash the group fled back to the village. They returned again later that morning, and everything was gone. Trampled bushes were in evidence, and what looked like landing gear imprints were found in the quarry with three holes arranged in an isosceles triangle. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The craft stopped to hover. It had a large white light on the bottom and a green and a blue flashing light, plus several brightly lit windows could be seen on its side. The object then shut off its lights and vanished. Later that night a woman had gone out in his yard to empty some cooking waste when she saw four little men wearing silvery outfits standing by a water faucet. They seemed to have short antennae like protrusions from their heads, large pointy ears, and were bald headed. They had small mouths and their necks were long and thin. They all had their arms crossed in front of their chest. The woman screamed and ran back inside her house to alert the others, but the little men had already gone when they came out. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

As many as 1,300 troops were involved in the event. Most were left with severe psychological trauma and "missing time" gaps. John Vasquez was courageous enough to undergo counseling, regression therapy, and hypnosis. After 15 years of personal research, John and co-author, Bruce Stephen Holms present the story along with plenty of government documentation. Readers are asked to enter this experience with an open mind. After reviewing the official documents and scrutinizing the appendix make up your own mind regarding the Incident At Fort Benning." [A description of a podcast about the event](https://kevinsmithshow.info/category/fort-benning-ufo-incident/): "Cmd. Sgt. Maj. James Norton steps forward as a witness to corroborate John Vasquez’s claims of a 1977 UFO incident at Ft. Benning in which the U.S. Army engaged UFOs in a firefight. He says he was there, was injured in the firefight, and says he has a piece of a downed UFO." **Type:** mass abduction **Reference:** [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1892264048) **Reference:** [Amazon book review](https://www.amazon.com/review/R3FY1IV0SM5N4O/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ASIN=1892264048) **Reference:** [Fort Benning UFO Incident - Kevin Smith Show](https://kevinsmithshow.info/category/fort-benning-ufo-incident/) **Reference:** [AbeBooks](https://www.abebooks.com/9781892264046/Incident-Fort-Benning-Vasquez-John-1892264048/plp) **Reference:** [YouTube](https://youtu.be/txgYi5xn0Q8) **Reference:** [YouTube](https://youtu.be/YUtEcAPMsT8) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_1021 ### Event 39950 (3F29DD53) **Date:** 9/1977 **Location:** USSR **Description:** (Translated from French) The Salyut 6 station took over in September 1977 and was still running when Salyut 7 was put in place almost five years later. Regularly occupied until May 1981, it received no less than 32 space ships, inhabited and uninhabited, including 18 Soyuz ships with crews, two inhabited Soyuz and 12 Progress cargo ships for resupply. The Progress cargo ships usually stayed at the Salyut for three weeks, after which they detached to return and burn in the atmosphere, thus freeing the docking port for another ship. It was during the fourth occupation that Leonid Popov and Valeri Ryumin set a new record for a space flight, with 185 days from April to October 1980. **Reference:** "The War of the Satellites" - Volume 3 - Pierre Kohler, ed.

On impulse, she waves at the object, which then comes closer. It seems to be made of a light greenish-gray metal with a moderately reflective surface. A blue-green light is coming out of its dome, and underneath the object is a dense, black, circular section. At closest approach, the UFO is no more than 50 feet away. She experiences a sense of timelessness, and she later cannot account for about 20 minutes of time. When the bus arrives, she feels a numbness as she fumbles for change. When she gets to the top deck, the object is gone. She develops an acute headache that lasts into the following day. Her eyes burn and water for a week afterward, and she suffers recurring gastric discomfort. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Good Above, [pp. 115–116](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/114/mode/2up), [457](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/456/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5577 ### Event 39960 (5DCF06E0) **Date:** 9/3/1977 **Time:** 22:00 **Location:** NORTHRIDGE, CA **Description:** 1 observer.

The object abruptly turns into a 3-foot-high dwarf, dressed in jacket and tie, with an ugly face. He speaks encouragingly, says he is an extraterrestrial, and gives Sandoval a complete physical examination. The dwarf steps away to admire the scenery and says, “How nice Puerto Rico is.” He then turns into a flaming blue candle and vanishes upward in a flash. Other dwarf sightings take place in the area. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, “[A New](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2024%20N%202.pdf) [Medicare?](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2024%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 24, no. 2 \(August 1978\): 9 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5557 ### Event 39964 (5FFD882E) **Date:** 9/5/1977 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Launch of *Voyager 1.* It will fly over [Jupiter](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/Jupiter.html) and Saturn then plunge into interplanetary space.

On the way he saw in a field an oblong object, bigger than a bus and suddenly a blue light illuminated the place. Three silhouettes emerged and seized him, dragging him inside the ovoid object, into a circular room: they showed him images in which he was the main character, and they took some of his blood. Without transition La Rubia found himself in a deserted street of the city, saw the metallic cigar rise in the sky. He looked at his watch: it had stopped at 2:20. He asked a passerby what time it was: in reality it was 2:55. He had pain everywhere and blurred vision but he went to work. Two days later he fell ill with a high fever and a burning sensation all over his body. He was swollen, vomiting, and had a skin rash. (Bertrand MEHEUST: In Flying Saucers - Imago 1992, p. 33, 34) The beings, of small size, were as if covered with metallic scales, their arms were without hands and ended with a kind of finger. The body ended with a kind of single leg, and Antonio had the impression that they were sitting on a kind of stool. The end of this single leg was a foot that looked like a lid. They moved by sliding. (...) all around him were several beings, all rigorously identical, aligned in two rows on each side. In the room there was no ornament, nothing, no furniture, no machines. After a while he tried to free himself and began to shout "Who are you? What do you want?" At that precise moment the beings fell against each other like lead soldiers, without making any noise. A blue light lit up the ceiling and the beings were immediately standing up, but Antonio could no longer shout. Pressing one key after another on a "piano" the beings showed him images, in the following order: Antonio naked lying in an invisible bed for a medical examination, naked standing, standing dressed carrying a bag and nervously beating an arm, a horse pulling a cart and a ragged barefoot cart driver, an orange ball the size of a balloon next to him, a dog barking furiously trying to catch one of the beings who points a syringe at the dog which turns blue and is reduced to a pulp, a flying saucer factory with thousands of busy beings, a small train without windows in a tunnel, a wide avenue that looks like a known avenue to Antonio. After this last image he was expelled from the disk, falling in the middle of this street 4 km from his home, and found himself standing next to the railway not really knowing what he was doing there. **Reference:** Pierre DELVAL: "Contacts of the 4th Type" - De Vecchi 1979, p. 117 to 124 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2978 ### Event 39989 (40B62478) **Date:** 9/15/1977 **Time:** 02:20 **Location:** PACIENCIA, BRZ **Description:** 3 robot(s)/android(s) abduction man.

Suddenly he is floating inside the UFO, surrounded by two rows of a dozen men each, about 5 feet 5 inches tall. They are wearing football-shaped helmets with a wide band running across the broad portion and are cut into mirror-like sections from which blue flashes are emitted. They seem like robots, but La Rúbia can hear them breathing.

At 2:20 a.m. Antonio La Rubia, age 33, a bus driver, was en route to work when he saw a flying saucer in a field that looked like an enormous hat. Frightened, he started to run when a blue light beam lit up the area, and he found that he could not move. At the same time, three very odd figures materialized nearby him. The figures were about four feet tall, with football-shaped heads or helmets and a tall antenna on top. The only features he could make out of the heads were a row of shiny, small, mirror-like sections around the center of the head, from which blue flashes were being emitted. The beings had stocky bodies and long, elephant trunk-like arms ending in a single digit. Their robot-like bodies were covered by a rough metallic surface he believed could have been the body surface, or skin. Their bodies were rounded at the bottom and surmounted a single leg, like a pedestal, with a rounded base.

The three creatures surrounded La Rubia, and he was captured inside an invisible glass or "bell jar." The robots floated above the ground and one pointed a syringe like device at him and he began to move toward the object. The next thing he knew he was inside the craft with no recollection of how he entered it. He was in a white "aluminum" corridor, with one transparent wall, through which he could see the field from which he had just come. Two figures went one way, the third another. He could see through the transparent wall that the object was airborne. A bright blue light came on, and he found himself in a large circular hall. There were a dozen similar entities on either side of the hall; they reminded him of children sitting in a schoolroom on single legged chairs. Up until now he had been unable to speak, but suddenly he found his voice and began screaming, "Who are you? What do you want from me?" The figures fell back at the sound and tumbled all over the floor. They lifted their single digits to the antennae on their heads and held them. These tips rotated so rapidly that only when they held them could he see them clearly.

He noticed a small box-like device standing on two poles that raised it to about the height of his chest. An antennae jutted up from each end of the box, and a receptacle stood atop it. The robot-like entities removed small devices from the belts around their waists, and placed them in this container, pushing a key on the box. When this happened, a scene would appear on the wall in moving color. The first showed Antonio, lying naked, on an unseen table, while he was being examined by a being with a small bluish light, while another being examined his head. Another "slide" was projected and showed Antonio, still naked, standing alone. Other images included a view of him dressed and carrying a shopping bag, with his teeth chattering; another showed a horse and cart on a dirt road, with a barefoot peasant wearing a straw hat. Another picture of him showed him next to an orange ball, and then next to a blue ball beside which stood another entity. The next slide showed an image of a big dog attacking one of the entities, and the being began melting from top to bottom, until it was nothing but a porridge like substance. Then in the "film" one of the entities moved toward the dog and pointed a syringe like device at the animal and it too began melting, after turning blue. A UFO "factory" was displayed in another image; then a train entering a tunnel; and a view of a busy Rio thoroughfare. One scene showed La Rubia vomiting and defecating into his clothes.

During this display, an entity approached and pointed a syringe at him; his arm was raised against his will and the syringe was stuck into his middle finger, taking a blood sample, but leaving no mark. The entity then pointed it at a wall and drew three red circles intersected with an "L". The next thing he remembered was being thrown overboard, where he found himself once again in the street, with all his belongings, as well as one of the beings. His watch had stopped at 2:20 a.m. The being then vanished, and the object ascended out of view. His head was spinning and he was burning. The time was 3:55 a.m. Anotonio was eventually taken to a hospital, where he suffered from sporadically high fevers and insatiable thirst. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It weighs a little more than 2 tons and is placed on an orbit at around 260 km of altitude under an inclination of 65°. It is a spy satellite, the fifteenth of this type since December 1967. (...) As usual, a rocket engine is fired a few weeks later, in order to send the satellite on an orbit evolving between 900 and 1000 km of altitude, its main mission is finished. It must be known that the radars are very greedy of energy, so much so that for the electric supply of this type of satellites, the Soviets have installed on board a mini nuclear power plant, powered by uranium 235. (...) The expedition on a higher altitude orbit is decided so that they do not fall back to Earth after a few months with their dangerous radioactive load. These satellites are launched in pairs, at a few days interval. **Reference:** "The War of the Satellites" - Volume 3 - Pierre Kohler, ed.

Meanwhile, a Cosmos 953, a reconnaissance photographic spy satellite, was launched from the Plesetsk base. On December 1, 1977, Cosmos 954 will be transferred to the high orbit that will ensure it a life span of five to six centuries, which is necessary for the 49 kilos of uranium on board to have its radioactivity fall below one millionth of its initial value. An atmospheric entry can then take place without any danger. **Reference:** "The War of the Satellites" - Volume 3 - Pierre Kohler, ed.

The pilot confirmed the existence of the UFO, round in shape. When he approached, it accelerated several times the speed of sound, then, making a sudden turn, it began to pursue his fighter for a few minutes. When the pilot wanted to fire, the controls did not respond: all instruments, including the radio, refused to work within a radius of 5 km around the object. He had to return to base. A second F-4 was sent on reconnaissance. Upon arriving in view of the target, an object resembling a missile dived on the plane. The pilot had to dive to escape the fire. The object stopped abruptly and immediately returned to "merge" into the UFO.

Spread out like a jellyfish above Petrozavodsk, it stopped, covering the city with a multitude of light beams that looked like rain. Shortly after, the luminosity disappeared, the jellyfish transformed into a bright crescent and left in the direction of Lake Onega. In the grey cloud cover, a semi-circular hole formed, with a light red center and blue edges. Total duration: 10 to 12 minutes. (Boris CHOURINOV: "The Two Faces of Ufology in Russia" - May 1994, p. 16) At 4 o'clock, a gigantic disc-shaped object appeared, as big as a football field. The UFO would have directed 5 beams at the city, illuminating the city for 12 minutes. Paving stones and windows would have burst and been charred. Yuri Gromov also reported that a smaller object had detached itself from the first and that both had then moved away through the clouds.

It seems to stretch out, turning into a long, glowing ribbon. As it flies over him, it looks like a cylinder with one of the ends becoming asymmetrical. The cylinder ejects small objects that fly off in different directions. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Stonehill and Mantle, Russia’s USO Secrets, Flying Disk, 2020, pp. 13–14 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5566 ### Event 40012 (6A54473C) **Date:** 9/20/1977 **Locations:** Petrozavodsk, Karelia, Russia; Copenhagen, Denmark; Helsinki, Finland; Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai, Russia **Description:** 4:00 a.m. A large “star” sending out beams of light appears moving slowly over Petrozavodsk, Karelia, Russia. It is last seen as a semicircular glow, bright red in the middle and white on the sides. The total duration is 10–12 minutes. Scientist Mikhail Dimitryev describes it as a “giant jellyfish.” The phenomenon is seen over a vast territory, from Copenhagen, Denmark, and Helsinki, Finland, in the west to Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai, Russia, in the east. Government officials from northern European countries send letters to [Anatoly Alexandrov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly%5FAlexandrov%5F%28physicist%29)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly%5FAlexandrov%5F%28physicist%29) president of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, expressing concern about whether the observed phenomenon is caused by Soviet weapons testing and whether it constitutes a threat to the region’s environment. Col. [Boris](http://www.noufors.com/Colonel%5FBoris%5FSokolov.htm) [Sokolov](http://www.noufors.com/Colonel%5FBoris%5FSokolov.htm) reveals that the phenomenon is observed from 12:00 midnight by military men along the Finnish border; when they try to report it, all their communications fail. All communications are restored after the phenomenon ceases. Since 1977, the phenomenon has often \(though not universally\) been attributed to the launch of the Soviet satellite Kosmos-955. In the same year, a preliminary report for the Academy of Sciences of the USSR contains an immense body of visual observations, radiolocation reports, physical measurements, and accompanying meteorological data. It concludes that “based on the available data, it is unfeasible to satisfactorily understand the observed phenomenon.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Petrozavodsk phenomenon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrozavodsk%5Fphenomenon)”; “Foreign Forum,” IUR 2, no. 10 \(October 1977\): 2; Gordon Creighton, “[A Russian ‘Jellyfish,’](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201977%20V%2023%20N%204.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 23, no. 4 \(January 1978\): 19–20; Good Need, [pp. 351](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/350/mode/2up); Enrique Vicente, “UFOs in the Soviet Union,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, pp. 118–119 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5567 ### Event 40013 (4059E496) **Date:** 9/20/1977 **Description:** A huge jellyfish-shaped light beamed rays to the ground in Petrozavodsk, Russia, causing damage to windows at around four o'clock in the morning.

It is about 20 feet in diameter, and Field can see two humanoid figures visible almost to the waist inside the dome. The object hovers above her garden, its light so brilliant that she puts her hands up to shield her eyes. She can feel the heat on her hands and a vibration in the ground for a second or two. The occupants have silver suits and headgear. The figure on the right appears to be operating controls, while the one on the left is looking directly at her, making a gesture as if pointing downward. Alarmed, she runs back to the house and the object speeds away to the northwest. In the following week, she develops a skin irritation on the palms of her hands. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Leslie Harris, “[Parkstone UFO and](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2024%20N%202.pdf) [Occupants,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20V%2024%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 24, no. 2 \(August 1978\): 6–8 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5573 ### Event 40032 (A3D644B0) **Date:** 9/25/1977 **Description:** At midnight a man who had had a close encounter with a bright multicolored object the previous night, was again driving on the same highway on his way to San Juan, Puerto Rico when he began hearing voices in his head. He stopped his car and flagged down a passing police officer, and he was taken to the local police station in Pedro Avila. When he felt better he left and again headed off towards San Juan, but after a few minutes he once again began to hear voices, so he stopped the car and suddenly a bright light appeared. There was a brilliant flash, and a three-foot tall figure encased in light appeared. The witness felt dizzy and got out of his vehicle. He felt a strange attraction to the little man and could not stop himself from approaching. The humanoid carried two loops in his right hand, and something resembling a flashlight that emitted a brilliant golden yellow light. The figure also radiated a blue aura that at times would briefly turn golden. The little man pointed to a nearby hovering light, and then entered it, which vanished abruptly. The man suffered from severe neck pain after his encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Their report describes: We observe from our observation point that luminous sets are evolving in the terrestrial atmosphere at vertiginous speeds... The investigators count 7 of them. These unidentified flying objects \(UFOs\) are, for some, in the shape of diamonds whose angles are lit by several lights emitting a whitish incandescent light. Some of them have a strong orange-red light in the middle, clearly visible, sending out flashes. Others, circular, give the impression of being adorned on their periphery with a concentric ramp with a good number of lights: these are white or yellowish. They get lost in the infinite. None of them change shape or color. These UFOs move making very disordered movements, ascending or descending, rotary or spiroid, at lightning speeds. They stabilize, restart abruptly... They disappear or reappear suddenly during their evolutions. During the entire observation made by the military of the [gendarmerie](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/Gendarmerie.html), no sound of engine or reactor is heard from these UFOs and we do not notice any trace of their passage. These UFOs do not come from any particular direction, in the same way that they disappear towards any point.

He only notices an orange-red sphere, surrounded by a bright and narrow halo, without noticing any activity on or around it. The mysterious craft stops at the horn of a poplar grove and fades into the darkness... Its slow maneuver lasted a few minutes.

Two research commissions are set up: the Setka-MO, under the orders of the Ministry of Defense and composed mainly of military personnel, and the Setka-AN, under the orders of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and composed of scientists. The first group has the task of studying the military aspects of the problem, such as the possible influences of the UFOs on the malfunctioning of military devices and installations; the ministry names special officers in all military units who are tasked with the responsibility of watching out for unusual phenomena. The second group studies physical effects related to UFOs and tries to understand the causes. The coordination of the first commission is entrusted to Col.

It was 8:00 PM. Suddenly I saw an object of pale blue color against a mound in a hollow: it was an object with a dome, about 2 m in diameter. In front of the object there were three figures in space suits: they were standing to my left, at 100 m. They were about 1 m tall and grayish, very visible in the light emitted by the object. I was so surprised that I turned on the headlights to see them better, but then everything became dark, I saw nothing. For a minute nothing happened, then the place lit up as before and I could see as before. I was so scared that I started the car to leave. After 50 m the car stopped and I saw on the road the 3 characters, or 3 others that looked like them. The one in the middle had something in his hand that looked like a shovel, when he turned this instrument towards me the headlights went off and the engine stopped. This character was holding the shovel with both hands, arms crossed and hands on the handle in a "T". Again it was complete darkness and I thought "this is the end". However I started the engine again, I backed up, waited 2 minutes and turned on the headlights: nothing. Nine years before, on March 12, 1969 (see that date), a similar adventure had been experienced by Kjell Näslund, director of the station, almost in the same place. **Reference:** Skandinavsk UFO information n° 1/1978 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2984 ### Event 40108 (AF619450) **Date:** 10/18/1977 **Time:** ~01:30 **Location:** COLUSA, CA **Description:** 3.5' small humanoid (or Grey) visits Indian farmer"comes often. with night lights walks / air". **Type:** sighting **Reference:** VALLEE, Jacques: CONFRONTATIONS, A Scientists Search..; Ballentine Books, NY 1990+91.PB (Index 136) **Source:** Hatch, **ID:** Hatch_UDB_12836 **Attributes:** **GND:** Observer(s) on ground, **CIV:** Observer(s) civilian, **ODD:** Atypical/Forteana/paranormal, **NLT:** Nightlights/points of light, **OID:** Humanoid: Small alien or "Grey", **TCH:** New technical details/clues **Extra Data:** **Country:** "USA", **Credibility:** "8", **Duration:** "20", **Elev:** "19", **HatchDesc:** "COLUSA,CA:3.5' OID VISITS INDIAN FARMER"COMES OFTEN.

The object moved slowly, at a uniform speed, while turning in the opposite direction to that of the hands of a clock. (…) oval, topped with a dome or something similar.

Choate then sees the red object and informs the pilot of its position. The object is flying at 10,000–12,000 feet and seems stationary. The distance is estimated to be about 23 miles away. Initially, the light is brilliant and appears to be closing rapidly. An evasive maneuver is considered but deemed unnecessary. The pilot contacts Fort Worth Center, giving the position of the object and asks if he is tracking anything on radar, but he isn’t. The size of the red light decreases, similar to a very slowly rotating beacon, and is lost to sight. The total duration is less than a minute. Choate recalls static over his headset at the time. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Near Collision with T-33 / Radio Static](http://www.nicap.org/771026abilene%5Fdir.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5597 ### Event 40142 (1F5D3283) **Date:** 10/26/1977 **Description:** During an evening of intense UFO activity in the skies above Colares, Para State, Brazil a young woman, 25-year-old Nueza Pereira Aragao, was in her kitchen with her sister reading a book.

Curious, they approached a small window and as they did, the beam shot in through the window and made straight for Silvia, throwing her into some sort of benumbed, trance-like state. Silvia, who was pregnant at the time, then fainted. Two humanoid entities then entered the house, carrying something resembling a gold flashlight; again the beam struck Silvia, this time hitting her in the left arm at wrist level. Benedito ran to a neighbor's house and was also briefly paralyzed by a light beam. Both husband and wife were later taken to a local hospital, were they both recovered. However, Benedito suffered from depression after the incident. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard F.

It flew in from the direction of the sea. Curious, the women drove in the direction of the shoreline and then crossed two fields to get to the ocean's edge. Several hundred yards offshore is a rock outcrop called Stack Rocks, rising up 80 to 100 feet from the water. They could not see the UFO but they did see two humanoid figures walking about on the rocks. They were dressed in silvery outfits, similar to a frogman's wetsuit. Their heads or helmets were extremely large and rectangular in shape, rounded at the corners, and with no observable features. They appeared to be looking for something. A "door" appeared on the right hand face of the rocks, sliding alternately open and shut like the door of a dumbwaiter. One of the figures entered this doorway and appeared to descend a stairway, disappearing in the darkened interior, and then reappearing once again. The stairway was not visible to the viewers. On his final descent the door closed and disappeared from view. To the left side of the rocks the second figure appeared to "walk" out over the water's surface, finally disappearing behind the left side of the rocks. The display had lasted for 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The car stopped and its lights went out. She lost consciousness and then woke up with several humanoids carrying her to a landed oval-shaped craft standing on legs. The Grey humanoids had flat noses, and were wearing coverall type suits. A blanket was put over her head but she was reassured by means of mental telepathy that she would be all right. She was then placed on a table in a shiny room, where she was examined by two humanoids while others nearby attended to other duties. Her watch as well as her husband's stopped just after 7 p.m. and never ran again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Sonora Daily Union Democrat, November 22, 1982; John F.

Frosch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FA.%5FFrosch)[.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FA.%5FFrosch) The letter mentions a revival of interest in UFOs and paranormal phenomena, as well as new sightings. It mentions a lack of tangible evidence to analyze and a lack of protocols for investigating UFOs as hindrances to NASA setting up an investigatory panel: “All in all, undertaking a formal study at this time appears to be fraught with peril.” Williamson sees two choices: refuse the project, or have NASA review the best cases from civilian UFO organizations and new cases.

Woods Jr., stationed at Ellsworth AFB, SD, states he flashed a spotlight at a possible UAP to attempt to communicate and it responded. Hours later, Woods and his team partner responded to an penetration alarm on the outer zone of the site, witnessed the UAP at a distance and again directly over the site. It was a red-orange sphere “constantly swirling and churning.” Woods next states they looked at the object, he felt like he couldn’t breath and looked at his colleague who had a blank stare on his face; he too could not breath. Woods flashed a flashlight at the object and the pressure went away. He next states he sees “something like shadows” outside the vehicle and hears voices in his head “Do not fear” repeatedly. He next sees five or six “small figures” walking toward the vehicle before passing out. Woods regains consciousness at dawn, after four hours have passed, and he, his team partner and their truck are near Newell Lake, miles from the site. They are found and recovered by Ellsworth personnel and debriefed by AFOSI. Woods was ordered to take a urinalysis and skin samples. Woods states he has two small puncture marks on his skin under his left armpit and above his ankle, and he often has “strange dreams of that night…every time, as something was about to happen or show itself, a great dread came over me. I would awake in a pool of sweat and afraid.” It is unclear if Congress has been made aware of possible abductions of USG personnel and certain the American people have not been made aware of this possibility. * [https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/former-usaf-missile-security-policeman-tells-of-apparent-ufo-abduction-at-icbm-site](https://www.ufohastings.com/index.php/articles/former-usaf-missile-security-policeman-tells-of-apparent-ufo-abduction-at-icbm-site) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_163 ### Event 40173 (BE839D15) **Date:** 11/1/1977 **Time:** ~16:00 **Location:** PRESTFOSS, NORW **Description:** 2+1 observer(s).

After driving several kilometers the couple again saw it, now larger and blinking, at the crossroads of Logis d'Amphoux; it seemed to be above the nearby town of Fox. They pulled their car to the side of the road and watched it for 15 minutes. Next they saw, about 200 meters behind them along the road, a small point of light near the ground, as though someone were carrying a flashlight. They turned around and drove back toward the light and observed, about 30 to 50 meters away, an unstable, two-dimensional image of a human-like entity of a phosphorescent white color, with no visible arms or legs and no features on its head. It was about five-foot eight inches tall, "advancing and retreating," and fading in and out. They compared the form to a TV image. The couple associated the lights seen earlier with the figure, became frightened, and drove off. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lumieres dans la Nuit, April 1980; David F.

One of the men remained in the patrol vehicle as the second investigated the source of the light. As the officer approached the area he observed a human like figure wearing a shiny green metallic uniform and a helmet with visor. The witness ordered the figure to stop, but it continued walking towards the source of the light. As the officer pointed his M-16 at the figure the being suddenly turned around and pointed an object at the officer. This was followed by a bright flash of light from the object, and then the M-16 carbine exploded causing burns to the hands of the officer. As the injured officer hid, the other officer arrived and he observed two similarly clad figures; he challenged both but they refused to stop, so he then fired his weapon, striking both. They were seen to fall, but 15 seconds later both stood up and fired several flashes of light at the officer, who was able to take cover and was unhurt. He then followed the two intruders and saw them enter a landed disc-shaped craft. The object then emitted a brilliant flash of green light, and disappeared into the sky. Later investigation revealed that several components to one of the nuclear warheads were missing. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Two security men, Airmen 1st Class Kenneth Jenkins and Wayne E. Raeke, are dispatched to the scene from Ellsworth. As Raeke is inspecting the rear fence line, he \(allegedly\) sees a helmeted figure in a glowing green metallic suit. It points a weapon at Raeke’s rifle and causes it to disintegrate, burning his hands and arms. Jenkins helps him back to their security vehicle. When Jenkins goes back to the rear fence line, he sees two of these beings. They ignore his command to halt, so he opens fire on them. His bullets strike one on the shoulder and the other in the helmet. The figures run over a hill and Jenkins pursues them. He sees them entering a 20-foot- diameter saucer-shaped object that shoots away over the horizon. As Raeke is air-evacuated from the scene, investigators discover that the missile’s nuclear components have been stolen.

A farmer in the Waimata Velley of New Zealand wakes up when his dogs bark loudly in their kennels. He goes to the back door and sees a landed saucer-shaped craft in a paddock about 100 feet away. It is about 50 feet in diameter and bright red with two open doors in the side. By the kennels he sees two humanoid beings about 4 feet 8 inches in height with slim builds. They are carrying one of the dogs, which appears comatose. The farmer shoots and hits one of the creatures, apparently startling them into dropping the animal. The being that is hit runs off into the bushes, and the other runs into the UFO, which then ascends vertically. The dog remains dazed for a few minutes and then becomes agitated. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 3, no. 6 \(June 1978\): 2 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5622 ### Event 40257 (78C97309) **Date:** 12/2/1977 **Description:** A Waimata Valley, New Zealand farmer had awakened at three a.m. when he heard his dogs barking in the kennels. When he went outside he saw a 50-foot in diameter saucer-shaped object on the ground, about 100 feet away from his house. It was red in color and he could see it had two open doors or ports. Near his dog kennel were two silver-suited humanoid figures of slight build, about 4 feet 8 inches tall; they were carrying off one of his dogs, which appeared to be unconscious. He got his gun and opened fire on the creatures, hitting one. They dropped the animal and the figure that was hit staggered off into the bushes while the second one entered the object, which then took off. The dog was comatose for a few minutes, but later recovered. Friends visiting the farmer later found him in a state of shock, fearful that they would return for retribution. Footprints were found at the site. The incident also occurred during a rash of UFO sightings in the area. The next evening there were reports of hovering objects in Invercargill and Gore Matura, New Zealand at 10:20 p.m. and shortly after 11:00 p.m. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, June 1978, p. 2; Xenolog, March 1978, pp. 6-13; UNICAT, case # 166; David F.

She stops and gets out to watch the UFO, which is 3–4 times the size of a B-29 in diameter and glowing blue-white. She sees 4–5 dark windows and its bottom half is blurry. Another woman, driving an AMC Gremlin, pulls up behind her. While they are watching the object, the engines of both vehicles stall. The object turns up on its edge and climbs vertically, and hovers for 10 more minutes. The second woman gets back in her car, starts it up, and drives away. The object speeds off to the west, takes on a pinkish glow, and fades in the distance. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Dan Todd, “[Large Objects Stalls Autos,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201978%2007%2000%20-%20Vol%2027%20No%201.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 27, no. 1 \(July 1978\): 4–5 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5630 ### Event 40322 (FA192304) **Date:** 12/17/1977 **Locations:** Council Bluffs, Iowa; Northern city limits **Description:** 7:45 p.m. A red, luminous object is seen by Kenny and Carol Drake of Council Bluffs, Iowa, falling to earth near the northern city limits. At the scene, they find an area covered by molten metal that is glowing orange- red, igniting the grass. Police and firemen who arrive 15 minutes later all see the fallen mass, estimated at 35–55 pounds. An investigation concludes that it is not space debris, a meteorite, or a hoax. Two of the 11 witnesses to the fall describe a round object hovering in the sky, edged by blinking red lights. The retrieved material is composed of solid metal and slag with white ash inclusions. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacques Vallée, “[Physical Analyses in Ten Cases of](https://www.scientificexploration.org/docs/12/jse%5F12%5F3%5Fvallee%5F2.pdf) [Unexplained Aerial Objects with Material Samples,](https://www.scientificexploration.org/docs/12/jse%5F12%5F3%5Fvallee%5F2.pdf)” Journal of Scientific Exploration 12, no. 3 \(1998\): 367–372; Keith Basterfield, “[Vallée–Nolan, et al., Peer Reviewed Analysis of Unusual Materials Paper Published,](https://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2021/12/vallee-nolan-et-al-peer-reviewed.html)” Unidentified Aerial Phenomena—Scientific Research, December 11, 2021; Garry P.

When he woke up, he noticed that his watch had stopped. Above him the shape of a disc of fire was disappearing. Dr. Paltsev returned home, continued to work as if nothing had happened.

With three of his colleagues he was on vacation, camping in southern Russia, when they discovered an object shaped like a disk, metallic, partially hidden in the tall grass. One of the four people threw some stones at the object: the pebbles seemed to disappear into the machine. All four then felt under the influence of a strange force. Nicolaev lost consciousness, the others, although they were staggering and weak, carried him as best they could. While two colleagues stayed with the unconscious man, the third went in search of help. The two friends left on guard fell asleep, as if by enchantment. When they woke up there were two small figures, less than a meter tall, in astronaut suits and helmets. Seeing that the earthlings were waking up, the two extraterrestrials hurried to their craft. The object shone like fire as it disappeared into the sky. **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDEL: "The World's Greatest UFO Mysteries" ed.

Hallstrom](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/54838008/floyd-philip-hallstrom) \(in a Cessna 170A\) and Jim Victor \(in a Mustang II 4954\) are flying over Santa Monica, California, at 7,500 feet when they see an object approaching at high speed. As the UFO passes about 6,000 feet to his left, Hallstrom is looking down on it an angle of about 30°–45° and its true form suddenly becomes clear to him. He is able to make out the complete form of a saucer and can see the dome, also very vividly clear, including all the windows, about 16–20 evenly spaced around the circumference of the dome, located just above the base. The dome appears to be a perfect hemisphere about 20 feet in diameter resting on the base, which is about 30 feet in diameter.

Both men became frightened and fled in panic from the clearing. During the encounter one of the men felt a buzzing sound inside his head, and later suffered from insomnia. The next day an eight meter in diameter circle was found in the ground in the clearing. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UNICAT database, case 609, citing Galaxia 2000; Albert S.

He was scared and did not look in which direction the ball went. He cannot say if the craft made any noise, as he was wearing a helmet. **Reference:** J.C.

At her destination a few seconds later, she notes a silver disc-shaped object \(“with teacups on top and bottom of saucer”\) as large as a full moon moving forward with yellow-orange trail behind as it moved. The object stops, reverses direction, moves forward again, and moves off behind a building. The trail is only visible while the object is in motion. Duration is 1–2 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Case 3-2-39,” IUR 3, no. 2 \(February 1978\): 3 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5648 ### Event 40412 (AE6FA5E8) **Date:** 1/10/1978 **Description:** A 25-year-old man name Price observed two irregularly shaped bright yellow objects in the night sky while driving near Grafton, New South Wales, Australia at around 4:00 a.m. One of the objects approached and appeared to slowly move down a mountainside. It seemed to periodically issue a "shower of sparks". This initial sighting lasted for about 20 minutes. The man then drove on but had difficulty recollecting the next part of his journey. Some 30 minutes later he observed a very bright object that looked like a "chicken coop" at a place called Bakers Creek Falls, near Armidale, New South Wales. The object was on the ground, stationary for 10 minutes, and then it moved. It was a very large elongated object with "portholes", hovering over the ground. He took photographs but they only show a blurred yellow shape.

Mr. Price next got out of his car and set off walking into the paddock to try to get closer to the object. However, as he got nearer the object appeared to retreat into an extensive fog. The witness advanced and saw the fog retreating out of the ravine. Suddenly the movement of the fog stopped and returned along its original path towards him. It quickly enveloped him, reducing visibility to less than 10 feet. The fog was accompanied by a sound similar to a vacuum cleaner. Then the fog quickly dissipated along with the sound, leaving the witness alone. He returned to his car in the morning and noticed two "shockwaves" one minute apart, as if the whole area was suddenly shaken, and then normality. The witness could not recollect up to an hour of the journey despite traveling on a twisting and turning road, which presumably required the driver's constant attention. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** ACOS Bulletin, September 1978, p. 27; Thomas E.

The figure was described as four and a half feet tall with broad shoulders and arms that hung down its sides. It wore a square helmet with two round eyeholes and gray gloves, each with three digits. The witness spoke English and French at the figure but got no reaction. After awhile the witness drove back home and on his way there spotted a large egg-shaped object on a slope in a partially wooded area. The object was dark gray in color and had bubble like windows. Ground traces were found. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F. Webb, FSR, June 1981, p. 24; David F.

A member of the Military Police pursued the craft that had flown over his car. Shortly after, the military police member saw a 1m tall being which he described as brown-gray, thin, with a large head and long arms. The policeman fired 5 times at the creature and once at the UFO above him. It shot vertically to join 11 other stationary objects far in the sky. The creature's body was found near the airstrip by the security officer and a patrol who noticed the nauseating smell coming from it, like ammonia. Later in the day, a team from the USAF base of Wright-Patterson arrived on the spot, sprayed the body with chemicals, put it in a box, loaded it in a C-141 troop transport and left.

Suddenly, an object with the shape of two plates stuck together landed near them. Frightened, they ran away, except for two of them, paralyzed on the spot. Beings descended from the craft and invited them to get on board. One of these two children was found 500 km away, two hours after his disappearance, wearing only a pair of trousers and shivering from the cold. The other boy was never found. The survivor, Manuel Roberto, said that they were taken to a room where there was only a chair or a bench, and once they sat on it, they couldn't get off. One of the creatures then showed them how to get out of it by passing their hand along one side of the chair. In this room there were eight small beings with human faces. During the UFO's landing, a power outage affected the whole town, and the company couldn't determine the cause. **Reference:** Pierre DELVAL: "Contacts of the 4th Kind" - De Vecchi 1979, p. 22, 109-110 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_2993 ### Event 40447 (5CD84501) **Date:** 1/20/1978 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Launch of the first Soviet cargo ship *Progress.* (January 20) **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1978.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2784 ### Event 40448 (8C43787A) **Date:** 1/20/1978 **Time:** 19:30 **Location:** ROMEGOUX, FR **Description:** Red-orange ball follows 3 / car.

Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, p. 774, citing Doylestown Daily Intelligencer, January 24, 1978 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_455 ### Event 40458 (5FA0AB53) **Date:** 1/24/1978 **Location:** USSR, SPACE **Description:** (Translated from French) Cosmos 952, launched on September 16, 1977, had been transferred to high altitude on October 8. On October 11, 1977, fears began to manifest themselves Cosmos 954 would logically do the same. On December 17, the anxiety begins to really show. (...) The USA contacts the USSR, in parallel the French, English, Italian, Japanese and Canadian heads of state are warned of the danger.

Because, under an orbital inclination of 5° the undesirable satellite surveys all countries of the world. Only the extreme north of Scandinavia, the northern fringe of Siberia, Canada and Alaska and Antarctica, almost depopulated regions, are spared. (...) Yet it is still not known where Cosmos 954 will fall, in the meantime it accomplishes 16 tours of the earth per day.

On January 19, 1978, the USSR ambassador informs the American authorities that there is no risk of nuclear explosion, yet the news is still not publicly announced. NORAD headquarters informs Washington on the 19th that the fall will take place on January 24, 1978. That day, in the early morning, eastern time of the USA, (...) Cosmos 954 penetrates the atmosphere around 7 o'clock, which places the impact point on Canada!

Immediately the six large carriers C 141 of the nuclear intervention team of the "NEST" take off from Mc Carren International Airport, and from the American air bases of Andrews and Travis. Aircraft of the Canadian Armed Forces, based in Edmonton, also take off, to join the search team. The last quarter of an hour of Cosmos 954, its penetration into the dense layers of the atmosphere, at 120 km altitude, begins above the Pacific, almost vertical to the Hawaiian Islands.

Then, transformed into a ball of fire, the Soviet satellite approaches the coasts of North America, at the level of the Queen Charlotte Islands, almost at the American-Canadian border. After having surveyed British Columbia, the satellite and its dangerous load travels another 1700 km, to the district of Mackenzie. The NORAD surveillance stations, which have perfectly followed this descent, locate the impact point of the pieces that would have resisted the test of fire, in the region of the Great Slave Lake.

It is not known what became of the nuclear reactor. Did it completely burn during the entry or did it reach the ground? This last possibility seems the most plausible, in the measure that the uranium core was surrounded by a thick shield, whose weight is evaluated at half a ton by Western experts. The satellite touched the Canadian ground at 6:53 Ottawa time. (...) The next day, a U-2 aircraft tries to visually detect fragments. A Canadian Hercules follows it with a radioactivity detection equipment. In vain. (...) Yet the inhabitants of Yellowknife saw in the night the fall of a reddish ball. It came from the southwest followed by a long trail of incandescent fragments. (...) Beginning of February 1978, a silver rod 25 centimeters long by 8 in diameter was found near Mc Leod Bay, emitting the record radiation of 500 roentgens. (...) Finally this is all that was found of the Cosmos 954 reactor. ("The War of the Satellites" - Volume 3 - Pierre Kohler, ed. Famot 1982, p. 101 to 114)

Of the 50 kilos of uranium a large part is supposed to have burned in the atmosphere. On the ground only remains the size of grains of salt were found. The cleaning of the region took long weeks.

At first the USSR claims that the satellite has been completely destroyed during re-entry, but later searches show debris from the satellite has been deposited on Canadian territory along a 370-mile path from Great Slave Lake to Baker Lake. The effort to recover radioactive material from the satellite is dubbed Operation Morning Light. Covering a total area of 48,000 square miles, the joint Canadian–US team \(consisting of the emergency Nuclear Emergency Support Team\) sweeps the area on foot and by air through October 15. They are ultimately able to recover 12 large pieces of the satellite, 10 of which are radioactive. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Kosmos 954](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosmos%5F954)”; Jacobsen, Area 51, [pp. 314–316](https://archive.org/details/area51uncensored0000jaco/page/314/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5654 ### Event 40461 (746AA38C) **Date:** 1/24/1978 **Description:** Between Leicester and Hinckley, England at least 17 people saw a delta-shaped object shortly after 7:00 p.m. It flew low overhead, making no noise.

The two discs were two diameters apart. A dark band was tangent to the base of the discs, which had an apparent diameter of 20' arc. By their color, they reminded her of car headlights. From each disc, a ribbon of light was directed towards the ground. Very intrigued, Mrs. L. woke up her husband, who also observed the phenomenon. After 4 to 5 minutes, the witnesses stopped observing it, which was still there, motionless. (1978, late January) **Reference:** Christian DE ZAN: "Guide du Chasseur de Phénomènes OVNI" - ed.

They notice an “airplane” that passes slowly over the field; moments later, another object arrives, shaped like a square with large yellow lights in each corner, with a slight dome on top and a red light underneath. It emits a red beam of light toward the ground but stops short before touching it. They next notice several humanoid figures moving around the school park, walking stiffly. They are about average height and bald-headed, dressed in bright yellow outfits with boots and gloves. One of them looks different, because he has a larger head that seems “creased” down the middle and has on a brown cape over the yellow suit. As the boys watch, they note an uncanny silence and an unpleasant sulfur-like odor. The figures walk away toward the nearby Public Works Garage. The boys then notice another figure, this one a woman standing in the parking lot. She has medium long brown hair and wears a dark suit with blue fur around her shoulders. She walks in slow motion and sits down on a low fence and raises her arm very slowly, pointing to the sky at another hovering square object. The woman then walks toward the Public Works building and at one point seems to appear and disappear as a police vehicle drives by near her.

She had medium long brown hair and wore a dark suit with blue fur around her shoulders and when she walked, she did as if in slow motion. She sat down on a low fence then raised her arm very slowly and pointed to the sky, apparently at another hovering square shaped object. The woman then also walked towards the Public Works building and at one point seemed to appear and disappear as a police vehicle drove by near her. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** International UFO Reporter, March 1978, p. 36 & April 1978, p. 3 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_640 ### Event 40481 (F12F33B8) **Date:** 2/1978 **Location:** ENGLAND, Ermington (Plymouth) **Description:** (Translated from French) A woman who wishes to remain anonymous recounts that she was taken by a beam of light into a spaceship, while she was hanging wet laundry on the line in her garden. At first she saw a shape with blue glows coming in the sky from the north. "The light hovered above the garden. I was petrified and the laundry fell from my hands. Suddenly I was completely engulfed in bubbles of light. I saw three entities resembling men. They did not speak. They were about 1.5 meters tall and were dressed in bluish metallic clothing. They grabbed me by the arms and we went up together in this beam of light into some kind of room. Other men were there. I then had the feeling that they did not mean me any harm. A little later I found myself in the entrance of my garden. At the back I had a painful bump. I was stunned, but not injured. When I looked up, the thing was disappearing into the sky at great speed.” **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDEL: "The World's Greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

The sound increases in volume until it hurts her ears, and the family dog barks frantically, punctuated by an odd pause for several seconds. Outside, they see an oval or cigar-shaped object not far above the trees about one half-mile away. Below and around it is a layer of gray haze. It begins slowly rising, leaving the haze behind. The object has a bright red light at each end that sends shafts of light toward the ground. Several bluish-white lights are visible between the two red ones. It rises higher, flashes a brilliant white light on and off for 3 seconds, then quickly disappears. Meanwhile, the dog has been taking her 7 puppies one by one and hiding them behind the drapes on the second floor. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Idabel Epperson, “Canine Mother Hides Puppies from UFO,” MUFON UFO Journal, no. 122 \(January 1978\): 7; “Unusual Animal Reaction in California NL Case,” IUR 3, no. 4 \(April 1978\): insert **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5665 ### Event 40504 (5CC615B5) **Date:** 2/5/1978 **Location:** SPAIN, province of Soria **Description:** (Translated from French) The witness, a Madrid merchant, went out to hunt partridge with his dog Mus. Strangely, while he was used to a determined hunting ground, the witness headed towards an unknown place. Some kind of impulse forced him to drive his car down a path. The engine stalled, the lights went out. He got out, lifted the hood, examined the engine, when the dog showed signs of fear. From behind some kind of mound two unknowns emerged, wearing green suits and yellow hoods on their heads, and seemed to be very interested in the dog. These individuals invited the witness to follow them, which he did. He found himself in front of a large metallic-looking object that was floating motionless a few meters off the ground. A cylinder descended from it, with a door that opened, and the witness entered it, escorted by the two individuals. He found himself in a circular corridor at the foot of an archaic ladder that led to the upper floor. He climbed it and reached a hemispherical dome room lit with white light. He had to show his gun to the unknowns and give them a cartridge. Then he was made to descend the ladder, get out, and saw his dog running ahead of him. When he turned his head, the craft was gone. Several hours had passed. Under hypnosis he revealed a space journey.

An intensely bright object is ahead of them and about 45° up in the east. They drive another two blocks to an open areas and get out of the car to watch two objects, the larger of which is as big as the full Moon. They are both changing colors from green to red to white. The smaller one abruptly disappears as the larger object is flying loops, dropping down behind the houses, moving back up, and maneuvering abruptly. They discuss the UFOs with some passing students. The object remains visible for at least 45 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Case 3-3-62,” IUR 3, no. 3 \(March 1978\): insert **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5666 ### Event 40509 (D5C74501) **Date:** 2/5/1978 **Description:** Thirty miles east of Baladonia, Western Australia a 30-year-old truck driver was paced by a UFO on the Eyre Highway at around one o'clock in the morning. At some point during the incident, a brightly lighted object passed him, and then a small dull light pursued him for 30 minutes, retreating only when other traffic approached. He then had three hours of lost memory. The only memory he had was of a fragmentary recollection of some conversation with an entity about an invention. At sometime after four a.m. he found himself a few miles outside the town, with most of his clothing scattered about the truck cab. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bill Chalker, MUFON UFO Journal, August 1980, p. 5 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_706 ### Event 40510 (26C9F2E8) **Date:** 2/5/1978 **Description:** Thirty-year-old Julio Fernandez and his English Pointer dog Mus were driving in his car to do some early morning hunting for hares. They were driving towards Soria province, Spain. At about 4:30 a.m. Julio stopped to drink coffee and anis at a wayside bar known as the Hostal 113, beside the highway on the outskirts of Algora. At 5:45 a.m. Julio left the bar and drove on, half an hour later passing Medicaneli. Suddenly he "knew" that he had to be at a certain location 15 km further on, and put his foot down on the accelerator. At this point his conscious recollection stopped.

Later under hypnotic regression Julio remembered driving his car when for no accountable reason he suddenly braked. From this point on the car seemed to act of its own accord, reversing, and then coming to a halt after having entered a narrow dirt trail backwards. Then the engine stopped, the lights went out, and the radio cassette player ceased to work. It was as though the electrical current had been completely severed, because the new battery no longer charged and the plugs no longer sparked properly.

Mus started growling, so as a precaution Julio took his Winchester single barrel, semi-automatic shotgun out of the trunk and loaded it with its maximum of five carriages. It was then that he caught sight of two somehat human looking beings coming down the road. They halted only one and a half meters from him. They wore seamless one-piece pastel green coveralls that reached to the feet and gave off a very faint luminosity. Their uniforms had no zippers nor openings and gathered at the waists. The suits were sufficiently tight fitting for their muscles to show. They wore pale yellow cowls or hoods, leaving only the face uncovered.

The men were about two meters tall and had extremely broad shoulders, with powerful dorsal muscles showing prominently, narrow waists, and they seemed unusually athletic. Among features that set them apart from ordinary human beings were the exceptionally long arms and hands, large crania and very large eyes. Julio felt a sense of peace and calm envelop him. When they addressed him he at first thought they were using speech, but later realized that their lips did not move, so he assumed they communicated telepathically with him.

They asked him to calm down and to follow them. Julio obeyed, taking along his dog and the gun. Julio was then led to a huge mushroom-shaped craft that had been concealed behind two hills in the bottom of a small valley, though hovering four meters above the ground. It was shaped like an inverted soup plate, had a matt, silvery metallic color, and appeared to have a diameter of about 60 or 70 meters and a height of some 15 to 20 meters.

Arriving underneath the central area of the craft, Julio noticed its had a completely smooth surface, as though molded in one piece, with no rivets or fittings. At this point he became aware of a powerful odor of pine, or possibly ozone, a smell also detectable on board. Julio's gun and knife levitated upwards into the craft. A smooth metallic cylinder then emerged silently from the center of the disc, stopping just above the ground. It was about four meters in height and 2.5 meters in diameter. A door, sliding upwards, opened in the descended cylinder's wall, revealing a small compartment lit by a strange white light coming from everywhere that Julio found disturbing.

By now frightened, he hesitated before stepping through the door into the shaft. The dog refused to follow him so Julio had to drag him in. What was now an interior elevator rose silently, stopping at an entrance to a corridor, where they alighted. Further along was another corridor, with two metallic doors, about 2.5 meters high. The whole appearance of the place was the most clinically aseptic. The walls were continuous with the ceiling, being joined by a gentle curve. Continuing along the circular passage, he came to a small ladder. The ladder looked like the steps of a swimming pool, with a very shiny finish and a cylindrical handrail. One of the beings led the way up, scaling the steps in two jumps with phenomenal agility. With some difficulty Julio followed, carrying the dog under his right arm and with the gun over his shoulder. He noticed the railing felt cold. At the top of the ladder was another individual who assured Julio that he had nothing to worry about. The "flight deck" was about 15 meters wide and five meters high. In the center stood a kind of console. It had some resemblance to an electronic organ. It was about 2.5 meters wide and had set metal footings with a transparent screen. The control table itself stood upon a circular platform. Elsewhere stood three smaller consoles set around the circumference of the room, in front of which were high conical seats. Also set close to the surrounding wall was a large square lead gray panel and a metallic rectangular table.

Set around the dome at intervals of about one and a half meters were rectangular windows made out of something like smoked glass. Meanwhile, his dog Mus had been around the flight deck, sniffing at everything, including at least one of the aliens, who reacted in a surprised manner. When Julio called out to his dog, the sound of its name evoked surprise among the entities. On asking where his hosts originated, Julio received an unintelligible mental response, including the expression "three seven, squared."

The aliens indicated that they would like to examine his dog and take blood samples from him. Mus was carried to a rectangular table and blood from his paw was extracted using a fairly normal looking syringe. The men then communicated to Julio that they wanted to examine him and placed him behind the screen on the rectangular table. After a few minutes he was given to understand that was all to be required of him. But in subsequent recollections---which proved harder to recover and which clearly he found disturbing---Julio said that numerous samples had been extracted from him, including blood, semen, urine, spinal fluid, saliva, and gastric juices. He believed that two women, similar facially to the men, were also onboard at the time. Julio was ordered to sit on one of the seats at the central console. Next to Julio sat one of the crewmembers who raised the left armrest and nimbly fingered several silvery buttons. The seat began to revolve along a track in the central console. Julio continued to sit beside the crewmember, his dog and gun at his side. Suddenly, a brief, piercing whistle was heard, producing a slight commotion on the flight deck.

The tallest of the three crew members quickly headed toward one of the consoles and all three studied the remote viewing screens in front of them. An image appeared of an older looking man. The crew members began talking among themselves. The man on the screen seemed to be a superior and spoke first, and then the others conversed with him. The language sounded harsh to Julio, he described it as sounding like a mixture between German and Korean. They seemed to spit out the words as they were talking, and some of the sounds were like coughs. The image disappeared from the viewing screen and Julio found himself back in telepathic communication with his hosts. Hectic activity ensued; as crewmembers started desperately pushing buttons. The central platform began to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, halting when the control console came in line with what Julio assumed was a "computer." Another whistling sound could be heard, from which point Julio seems to have passed out. After another whistle Julio was awake again. The crewmembers showed interest in Julio's gun and, passing it around among themselves, asked him about its use. A heavy smoker, Julio lit a cigarette. The men asked if they might take one away for study and deposited it into the same cylinder. Soon Julio was escorted to the lift cylinder, the metal door rose and he was back outside, in bright sunlight.

He staggered back to his car, where his dog awaited him, having run ahead. The car engine now worked, and he drove away without bothering to look back at the disc. Among the information imparted telepathically to Julio by the UFOnauts was that other, shorter beings were coming here who employed less ethical methods. These others, it was explained, "are engaged in probing and programming" the minds of those humans whom they have contacted or kidnapped. Julio Fernandez was killed in a car crash in 1992, coincidentally near the site where he claimed to have been abducted. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, July 1979, p. 15, citing Cronica, May 22, 1979; David F.

From the window of her room came a strong light and she felt unable to move. Very close to the ground in the garden, a strange luminous dome-shaped object was hovering above the snow, motionless. At the base and at its top pulsed colored lights. - You will get up and come join us... - No! This silent cry she shouted mentally and, an idea, a very surprising argument pushed her to formulate this thought: - No, I will not come because I am materialistic, very attached to the mundane joys of life. You, you are spiritually evolved and far removed from my concerns. Leave me, spirituality does not interest me. (...) After a time difficult to evaluate - more than an hour no doubt - the paralysis ceased and the craft, slowly, rose up. Frightened, the young girl ran to wake up her parents.

She saw an intense light emanating from outside her bedroom window and was unable to move. However, she was able to see out the window and saw a luminous dome-shaped object hovering very close to the ground in the garden. It was completely motionless, and had pulsating multi-colored lights on its top. Suddenly she heard a voice inside her head that said: "We will pick you up and you will join us." Terrified, she answered in her mind: "No, I will not come with you because I am materialistic and very attached to the banal joys of life. You are advanced spiritually and extremely distant from my concerns. Leave me, spirituality does not interest me". After about an hour of what felt like constant mental struggle her paralysis subsided and she was finally able to move. The dome-shaped machine then slowly rose up from the garden. Terrified, she ran for her parents, who saw the slowly ascending object leave, emitting multicolored flashes of light. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

They stopped their vehicle and got out to get a better look. They walked towards the lights, which appeared to be about 300 meters away. The light seemed to dim the closer they got to it. When they were about 20 meters from it, they noticed that it was now an opaque egg-shaped object, about 15 meters in length. It appeared to have three antenna-like protrusions on top. The UFO now gave off a fluorescent white glow. Curious, the three men continued to approach even closer, and began to surround it. Suddenly, one of the men noticed something moving very close to him and signaled the other two. All three of them then saw a short "robot like" humanoid in a freshly dug ditch, and it appeared to be still digging. The being was wearing a tight fitting silvery outfit with a round helmet. The little man simply ignored the trio and kept digging. Frightened all three men ran across the field, got back into their vehicle, and drove away at high speed. The next day they returned to the site and found numerous ground traces, including the ditch. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

While resting David was putting on his backpack when he noticed a flash of light from an object just above the trees. The object was metallic and elliptical in shaped, was hovering 300' away and was completely silent. Then it shot away at an incredible speed without a sound. Years later, David had started having flashbacks of what really happened. He remembers putting on his backpack when a dwarf-like creature in a cloak and hood approached him. He said the creature would take him into the forest where he would be given something. He was led away from the rest of the group, who did not react at all to what was going on. He was taken to a clearing in the woods where a ship had landed. **Type:** abduction **Reference:** [Website: "The Night Sky II", Article: Soldier Meets His Doppelgänger](https://www.thenightskyii.org/david.html) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_903 ### Event 40560 (3826D7CA) **Date:** 3/1978 **Location:** NEW ZEALAND, Gisbome **Description:** (Translated from French) Three women, lying on a hillside to observe the sky in the evening, felt that a "missing time" had occurred. Shortly after this episode, a hypnotic regression was decided upon and an abduction scenario was then revealed. In 1989, a new regression took place at the instigation of investigators Keith Basterfield and Bill Chalker (note from vog: investigators like these should be regressed to their "non conception" in my opinion!) and there was then an additional information: such as a beam of light, or seeing one of the other women speaking to a male entity [note from vog: as all this is so interesting... was it really necessary to hypnotize this woman twice to get such meager results?] **Reference:** UFORA89017.

As he is approaching the roundabout near the Universities Research Reactor building and the UKAEA fire station, he notices a 7-foot-tall silver figure coming down a steep embankment to his left. Stopping his van, Edwards watches the figure descend with an unnatural stiff-legged gait. The figure walks across the road only 15 feet from him. As he passes Edwards, the figure looks at him and two beams of light shoot from its eyes and dazzle him. It continues walking toward the security fence surrounding the UKAEA site. The figure raises an arm \(one of two that seem to come out of its chest\) and walks through the 10-foot-tall, barbed wire-topped, chain link fence, disappearing into the darkness. He later drives to the Pudgate police station to report the sighting. Police accompany him to the site where they find a group of UKAEA constabulary officers gathered at the spot, but since there is no hole in the fence, they discount his story. However, years later investigator Glen Vaudrey discovers that the tall figure was a 6 foot, 5 inch fireman dressed in a high-temperature fire suit who was trying to scare some students in an isolation building across the road. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, “Man on the Moss,” Fortean Times 305 \(October 2013\): 29; Glen Vaudrey, “Atom Age Alien?

He calls the police, who drive him home. The next few nights he suffers from nervousness, headaches, and insomnia. Not long afterward, he is hypnotized by [James A. Harder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FHarder)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FHarder) an engineering professor affiliated with APRO. He recalls an abduction/contact experience on board a spacecraft with beings from Zeta Reticuli. The leader tells him that if mankind persists in its warlike ways, civilization will be destroyed.

They see a strange object in the southeastern sky that moves around for 10 minutes before it disappears behind a ridge. Another object soon appears over their campsite from behind a ridge to the north; this time it is a triangular shape about 150–200 feet on each side with large windows, three white lights at each corner, and a red light on top. Three of the witnesses think they see the silhouette of a figure in the windows. It moves very slowly, hovering at times, to the southeast. Another star-like object appears in the south after the triangle moves away. It changes colors repeatedly from blue to green to yellow to red. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Joe and Doris Graziano, “[Object over State Park,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201978%2004%2000%20-%20Vol%2026%20No%2010.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 26, no. 10 \(April 1978\): 1 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5684 ### Event 40632 (CB2488AF) **Date:** 3/23/1978 **Location:** 37.0000 -116.0000 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

It displays “classic” mutilation signs, including the removal of the rectum and sex organs with what appears to be “a sharp and precise instrument,” and its internal organs are found to be inconsistent with a normal case of death followed by predation. The animal’s heart, as well as bone and muscle samples, are sent to the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory for microscopic and bacteriological studies, while samples from the animal’s liver are sent to two separate private laboratories. Los Alamos detects the presence of naturally occurring Clostridium bacteria in the heart but is unable to reach any conclusions because of the possibility that the bacteria represent postmortem contamination. They do not directly investigate the heart’s unusual color or texture. Samples from the animal’s liver are found to be completely devoid of copper and to contain 4 times the normal level of zinc, potassium, and phosphorus. The scientists performing the analysis are unable to explain these anomalies. Blood samples taken at the scene are reported to be “light pink in color” and “did not clot after several days” while the animal’s hide is found to be unusually brittle for a fresh death \(the animal was estimated to have been dead for 5 hours\) and the flesh underneath is found to be discolored. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Cattle mutilation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle%5Fmutilation\#Laboratory%5Freports)”; Amanda Push, “[Underground Aliens and Cattle Mutilations: Dulce,](https://dgomag.com/contents/3710) [New Mexico, Has Long Been the Site of Strange Activity and Conspiracy Theories,](https://dgomag.com/contents/3710)” DGO, February 26, 2019 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5685 ### Event 40637 (39AC39C0) **Date:** 3/24/1978 **Locations:** Penalva, Maranhão, Brazil; Scrub forest; Serme Hospital in São Luis **Description:** Just after 12:00 noon. Luis Carlos Serra, 16, is picking guava in the forest just west of Penalva, Maranhão, Brazil, when he hears a sharp noise like a car horn. He looks up and sees a bright white light about 20 inches wide high above the palm trees. Suddenly he falls flat on his back, paralyzed. After a short time, he starts rising in the air toward a round UFO with four balls on the bottom, a dome on top, and three windows. He floats through one of the windows head-first. Inside he drops to the floor, still paralyzed, and sees three entities about 3 feet high and wearing “diving suits.” He is taken somewhere with no trees and tall grass and subjected to an examination. Soon he loses consciousness and wakes up three days later in a scrub forest. A nearby fisherman, José Ribamar dos Santos, hears his cry, finds and recognizes him, and takes him back to town. Serra is examined in the hospital by Dr. Linda Macieira, who finds that he has four teeth missing and is completely bald with his hair burned off. He has a general loss of motor control and a lack of sensitivity to pain. He does not eat, so he is fed intravenously for the 7 days he is hospitalized. On March 30 he is transferred to the Serme Hospital in São Luis, where 6 doctors examine him, including neurologist [Antônio Saldanha](https://www.doctoralia.com.br/antonio-de-padua-saldanha/neurologista/sao-luis)[,](https://www.doctoralia.com.br/antonio-de-padua-saldanha/neurologista/sao-luis) who finds that Serra still cannot speak and is generally unresponsive and in shock. Two psychiatrists, Renato Barcelar and Barcelar Viana, examine him after he recovers his ability to speak a few days later. He repeats his story without variation every time. He is discharged on April 7. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 899–901; “[Caso Luis Carlos Serra,](https://ufologiagja.blogspot.com/2014/04/caso-luis-carlos-serra.html)” Galáxia Mundo GAEMU, April 2014; Brazil 251–255 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5686 ### Event 40638 (FBDF9D78) **Date:** 3/24/1978 **Description:** On this day a 16-year-old boy had gone out into the woods near Penalva, Maranhao, Brazil and disappeared, and a search party failed to locate him. Eighty-one hours later a fisherman heard a shout for help and found the boy standing in a forested area, dazed and unable to stand up. He was taken to a local hospital where he was found incoherent and bleeding from the head where some of his hair was missing. Four of his teeth were also missing. He also seemed to be paralyzed. After three days later in the hospital he was able to talk about what had happened to him. He said he had been gathering guava fruit outside a wooded area when he heard a loud siren like sound. He looked up and saw a bright light coming from above the trees. He then fell down to the ground unable to move, and was then levitated up into a hovering flying object that had three spheres on the bottom. He entered the object through a window and fell softly on the floor. Inside the craft he encountered three short beings that wore uniforms with helmets and visors, and spoke in a loud, incomprehensible language. The boy was then taken on a journey to a strange land with no trees, no lakes, and no birds, and a darkness above him. He could only see a field with tall grass. He was then floated onto a stone table where he was examined. He felt liquid going down his throat and he passed out. His next memory was that of coming to in the hospital. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: Terror and Death in Brazil--Where Next? p. 109; Albert S.

A loud explosion on Bell Island, Newfoundland, causes damage to some houses and electrical wiring in the surrounding area. A number of TV sets in Lance Cove and other communities explode at the time of the blast. It is initially thought to be caused by ball lightning. Meteorologists state that atmospheric conditions at the time are not conducive to [lightning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning), although some witnesses report balls of fire and streaks of light in the sky. The boom is heard 34 miles away in [Cape Broyle.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape%5FBroyle) The incident is investigated by [John Warren](https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/lamonitor/obituary.aspx?n=john-l-warren&pid=171244563) and Robert Freyman from Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, New Mexico, as a possible a “superbolt”—an unusually large bolt of lightning. A 2004 documentary on the History Channel about electromagnetic pulse weapons, The Invisible Machine, investigates the possibility that it may have been the result of top-secret experiments. However, on April 23, 2019, hundreds of people on the island hear another explosion, which is almost immediately determined to have been a massive section of rock breaking away from the northern part of the island and impacting the ground and sea with extreme force. Large cracks almost two feet across were observed developing in the area in the years prior to the collapse, and signs were placed to warn visitors to stay away from the unstable features. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Bell Island \(Newfoundland and Labrador\)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%5FIsland%5F%28Newfoundland%5Fand%5FLabrador%29\#Bell%5FIsland%5Fboom)”; ClearIntent, [pp. 96–97](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/96/mode/2up); Brian Dunning, “[The Bell Island Boom,](https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4190)” Skeptoid podcast no. 190 \(January 26, 2010\); B.

Some neighbors come over for 3 hours to watch the light for and attend to the horses. An odd circle is found on either side of the filly’s neck. A veterinarian, Dr. McKee, examines the horses the next day, and they still appear to be in shock. He explains the circle as ringworm, but cannot account for the animals’ fatigue or behavior. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 223–226 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5697 ### Event 40695 (18A30451) **Date:** 4/6/1978 **End date:** 6/24/1978 **Location:** Elsberry, Missouri **Description:** Six cattle are found mutilated on farms near Elsberry, Missouri.

The woman goes outside to see what the matter is and notices a large round object, perfectly silent, about 500 feet above the garden. It hovers a minute or two then moves toward the Ford plant. It is about 125 feet in diameter and has a row of windows circling the bottom that emit colored light. It stops every 2–3 minutes and never travels more than 25 mph. They watch it for a total of 15 minutes, and their landlady sees it as well. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Correspondence,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1980%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV1.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 1, no. 1 \(May 1980\): 4 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5705 ### Event 40739 (E759C945) **Date:** 4/25/1978 **Description:** At 2:15 a.m. a UFO with an inside occupant was sighted by a Mr. Hake while driving along Highway 83 in Baltimore, Maryland.

The witness went to fetch a camera. At this point the sphere seemed to shrink in size and a short being wearing a bright orange coverall type suit stepped out. The being walked around looking in all directions. Its face appeared brighter than the rest of the body and it had human like features. On its head it wore a cone-shaped device or cap. It moved in short steps and bounds. This apparently frightened the witness who yelled for her husband. The being glanced at the witness and then ran behind a nearby tree stump. A thick fog then began forming in the area and simultaneously the luminous sphere shrank in size and dissolved into nothing. The being apparently disappeared also. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 207 (July 1981); Albert S.

Where his office is located he could ordinarily hear everyone coming through the main door when admitted through the security door, and then hear their footsteps walking down the hall. But this knock came abruptly, and when he opened the door there was a very odd-looking man standing there. He was dressed entirely in black. He was about five and a half feet tall, extremely thin, with a somewhat unusually large head. His hair looked like it had been completely shaved and the hair was just growing back. His skin had an unusual olive hue. His lips were very thin and his cheeks were sunken in. His eyes were dark and so elongated that they literally wrapped around his temples. La Franier had never seen eyes like that, "They just bored into me". The stranger just stood there staring at him. La Franier was fixated by his eyes and he felt somehow intruded upon on a mental level. After a full minute the man spoke. "Would you like a photograph of your family?" It was a strange question, and his voice was very strange, too. It was low and hesitant as if this man had absolutely a poor conception of how to put a sentence together. The English was flawless, but he struggle to get through the sentence. La Franier said no, he did not need any more pictures. And with that the stranger stepped back, turned and just disappeared. The man was completely gone. Later La Franier discovered that many of his papers were missing. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The police alert the Center for UFO Studies and [Allan Hendry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan%5FHendry) interviews some of the witnesses. He learns that some connect TV interference and power failures with the UFO’s appearance. An 11-year-old boy is so frightened that he hides behind the back seat of the family car. However, Hendry identifies the source of the sighting as an advertising plane owned and operated by a Chicago firm. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Allan Hendry, “The Case for IFO Study: A Recent Example,” IUR 3, no. 6 \(June 1978\): 6–7; Clark III 568 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5706 ### Event 40751 (587FE929) **Date:** 5/1978 **Location:** USSR, Strokino **Description:** (Translated from French) At 3:00 PM a Doctor of Science noticed a strange object in a clearing of the forest, behind his country house. He went there to get a better look. In the clearing there was an 8m long cigar-shaped object touching the ground at one end, the other being suspended at 45° relative to the horizon. Despite this inexplicable position the object did not move. When trying to approach it, the witness felt the presence of an invisible and impassable barrier (at the frequency of 7 Hz, according to the witness). **Reference:** Boris CHOURINOV: "The Two Faces of Ufology in Russia" - May 1994, p. 15 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3008 ### Event 40752 (FF95AC9D) **Date:** 5/1978 **Location:** LAKE PYROGOVSKOYE, RUSSIA **Description:** 2 small humanoids (or Greys) telepathy / Army Officer.

He is given a salty-tasting drink, but requests an alcoholic drink, only to find that the entities do not imbibe. He asks why, and they reply, “Perhaps if we did, we would not be such an advanced civilization.” They take him on a trip to the dark side of the Moon \(where they have a base\) and to their home planet 3 light years away then back to Earth, all taking about 40 minutes. Malishev reports his experience to his superior officers, who threaten a court martial.

He watched as a mist-like vapor assumed the shape of a human-like figure that remained suspended above the ground. The figure was about 170 meters tall. The cat also apparently observed the spectacle, since the animal's fur stood on end and it quickly scurried from the scene (NICAP: 02 - Close Encounters) (NICAP: 04 - Animal Reactions) (NICAP: 07 - Entity Cases) **Reference:** [NICAP Listing by Date PDF](http://www.nicap.org/NSID/NSID_DBListingbyDate.pdf) **Source:** NICAP_DB, **ID:** NICAP_DB_4933 ### Event 40756 (D922A9FF) **Date:** 5/2/1978 **Description:** A witness noticed two white uniformed Grey humanoid figures standing on the grounds of an abductee's property in South Middleton, Massachusetts.

He decided to chase it as it ran towards a large empty lot across the street. As he ran towards the field he suddenly noticed a hovering silvery disc-shaped object that emitted a strong yellow light. The UFO resembled two soup plates placed together and was about 15 meters in diameter, and it was hovering at about 200 meters above the ground with a slight wobbling motion. A gray cloud-like mist emerged from the object and descended towards the ground. Stunned, Enrique watched as the mist-like vapor assumed the shape of a human-like figure that remained suspended above the ground. The figure wore a kind of "cape" or long tunic that did not reach its feet, since the witness was able to observe gold-colored laceless shoes on the figure's feet. The figure was about 170 meters tall. The cat also apparently observed the spectacle, since the animal's fur stood on end and it quickly scurried from the scene. Eduardo did not notice any facial features on the figure except what appeared to be thin lips. The figure extended its arms at him, as if beckoning him to approach, and it appeared to open its mouth. At this point the boy became afraid, and ran away quickly away. Looking back he did not see the figure again, and the UFO rose up into the sky at very high speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It produces a sonic boom that is heard 120 miles away and shatters windows in villages 30 miles away. Argentinian border police search for wreckage, while reporters visit the town of Aguas Blancas, Bolivia, to interview witnesses. Velez Orozco is one of the witnesses to the fall, and he thinks the object was 15 feet in diameter and conical. Border Patrol Cpl. Natalio Farfan Ruiz says the object “made the earth tremble” as it passed over. The Bolivian Air Force dispatches three airplanes and discovers the crash site on its side of the border. One of the flights includes a Bolivian astronomer, who sees a rockslide that may have been caused by the crash. On May 14, police from Tarija, Bolivia, find the object, a dull metallic cylinder 12 feet long with a few dents. A telex sent by US Ambassador [Paul H. Boeker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul%5FH.%5FBoeker) to the State Department requesting an explanation. In a secret telex on May 18, Secretary of State [Cyrus Vance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus%5FVance) replies that “appropriate government agencies” have been consulted, but there is no correlation with known re-entries. He refers Boeker to the 1973 Project Moondust order. The US military attaché in La Paz sends a message to Wright-Patterson AFB and USAF headquarters at the Pentagon, claiming that the Bolvian Army has found nothing, but would send two USAF officers to Tarija to investigate. Col. Robert Simmons and Maj. John Heise arrive with a Bolivian Air Force officer. On May 23, three Bolivian Air Force officers and a guide set out on horseback to the mountain, locating the rockslide on May 25. Parallel to the slide is a 325-foot trench, 10–12 feet wide at the top. Some of the large rocks appear burned, and the grass around it is brown and withered. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 3, no. 8 \(August 1978\): 2; ClearIntent, [pp. 201–](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/200/mode/2up) [205](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/200/mode/2up); Kevin Randle, The Government UFO Files, Visible Ink, 2014, pp. 279–280; Michael Hesemann, “[UFO](http://www.noufors.com/ufo%5Fcrash%5Fin%5FBolivia%5Fwitnessed%5Fby%5Fthousands%5Fof%5Fpeople.html) [Crash in Bolivia Witnessed by Thousands of People](http://www.noufors.com/ufo%5Fcrash%5Fin%5FBolivia%5Fwitnessed%5Fby%5Fthousands%5Fof%5Fpeople.html)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5708 ### Event 40765 (F8965596) **Date:** 5/6/1978 **Description:** At 5:40 a.m. a group of several witnesses, including police, observed 25-30 luminous UFOs make a turn over the city of Catamarca, Argentina.

"Suddenly I saw two small men standing at the edge of the forest path. When my cart arrived at their height, I realized that they were not normal. They were not dwarves, as I had first thought. They were not even men, but creatures of nightmare. As I am a believer, I thought I had a diabolical vision. I pinched myself and forced myself to regain my senses, but nothing worked, what I had in front of me was real. These monsters had a greenish face with two large oblique eyes. They wore a one-piece suit and sleeves came out of their webbed fingers.” These androids jumped into the cart without taking off and without effort and ordered him to continue his journey. A few tens of meters further on, they pointed out a small perpendicular path in which he engaged his mule. Arrived in a clearing, Wolsky, who could not believe his eyes, saw a strange object, the size of a bus, floating in the air a few meters high and animated by a slow rocking motion, like a boat on the water of a lake barely stirred by the wind. "The two dwarves seized me and took me under the engine. A platform came out and landed on the ground with a whistle. We took our place all three and were immediately drawn into the flanks of the ship. The room in which we emerged was dark despite many portholes. It was absolutely empty except for about twenty birds of the forest apparently alive but frozen in complete immobility. I was beginning to panic when two creatures entered the room carrying each in their hand a device emitting a rumble and clicks. One of them made me understand by gesture that I had to undress. When it was done, they moved their devices over my whole body. Then they put them away and I could dress again. Then I did not know what to do. They looked at me in silence without making a gesture. Timidly I headed for the airlock where I had entered. One of them slightly inclined his head and made a smile. As soon as I put my feet on the platform, it descended to the ground with the same whistle. I then took my cart and went home without asking for more. " **Reference:** J.-L.

Farmer [Jan Wolski](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/164596567/jan-wolski) is out driving a horse-drawn cart in Emilcin, Poland, when he is jumped by two “short, green-faced humanoid entities” about 5 feet tall. They jump onto Wolski’s cart, sit next to him, and start to speak in a strange language. At first, he mistakes them for foreigners because of their “slanted eyes and prominent cheekbones.” Wolski drives his cart, with the two beings aboard, to a clearing where a large white object is hovering about 16 feet in the air. It is about 15–16 feet high and as long as a bus. Four black objects on the surface generate a humming sound. A platform descends to the ground, and he is taken on board by the two entities, along with two additional ones. There are about 8–10 benches situated around the craft, each for one person to sit in. There are some rooks in front of the door, one of which is moving its legs and wings but seems to be immobilized. Wolski is then examined with a tool that resembles two dishes or “saucers.” After this, he is ordered to get dressed again, and then he notices there are no lights or windows on the craft, only the daylight coming through the door. The entities eat and offer him something like icicles, but he refuses them. The UFO’s interior is black with a grayish tint, similar to that of the creatures’ outfits. Wolski returns home to his family and notifies them of what has happened, urging them to come see the floating craft. He tells his sons, who call to other neighbors, and together they go to investigate the site. The grass where the craft had been shows signs of usage, trodden down and “covered with dew and paths coming in all directions.” Wolski goes home, leaving the rest of the neighbors and family at the site. His sons claim there are footprints left behind by the beings, though they do not describe them well. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Emilcin Abduction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilcin%5FAbduction)”; “Story of a Polish CE-III,” IUR 8, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1983\): 13–14; Poland 35–40; “The Jan Wolski Case: An Amazing Close Encounter \(Poland, 1978\),” History Disclosure, May 25, 2019 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5710 ### Event 40774 (D8BF3799) **Date:** 5/10/1978 **Locations:** Clavarazza; Genoa; Italy **Description:** Evening. Numerous people watch a moon-sized oval object with clearly delineated edges, no trail, and an intense white light in Clavarazza, Genoa, Italy. It remains stationary high in the sky for three minutes, pulsates for 7 minutes, then blinks out. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 3, no. 9 \(September 1989\): 2 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5711 ### Event 40775 (BCEC5CD7) **Date:** 5/10/1978 **Description:** A UFO abduction occurred in a forest in Emilcin, Lublin, Poland sometime after 7:00 a.m. The abductee, a 71-year-old man named J. Wolski, encountered a UFO shaped like a bus, making a humming sound. The humanoid had a greenish color and wore a black helmet. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Dennis Stacy, Field Guide to UFOs, p. 100, citing Fate, September 1994; UNICAT database, case 002, citing International UFO Reporter, November 1983, p. 13 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2721 ### Event 40776 (199B66C4) **Date:** 5/10/1978 **Description:** At 10:50 p.m. the witness was walking home alone in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil when he observed a very bright object in the sky that began to descend at a high speed. The object came low over a nearby fenced field, and he could now see that it was a shiny circular metallic craft within a fiery ball of flames. The craft continued to descend, and projected two bright beams of white light to the ground and extended four metallic legs. The area around the witness seemed to darken, and he felt compelled to walk towards the fence. He was quickly grabbed by two short humanoids who wore shiny white tight fitting suits. Their heads were enclosed in helmets with closed visors and with two small antennas protruding from the top. The beings spoke to the witness, then took him inside the craft.

Once inside he started having difficulty breathing and noticed that the air seemed warmer and dense. The room was illuminated by a bright light. It was at this point that he noticed two more beings seated at a strange looking console. The beings walked over to him and he was surprised to see that they were female dressed in shiny white suits, with attractive capes made of the same material. These also wore helmets with antennas. They were a little taller than the other humanoids and had hair down to their shoulders. One had black hair and the other was blond. The black haired female approached the witness and told him that he was going to be taken to their planet. The witness declined the invitation and begged to be released. At this point the blond woman walked over and ordered the others to let him go. He was then allowed to walk out and down a stairway to the ground. He stood on the ground and watched while the object ascended at high speed and vanished. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Amparano is on the outskirts of Kerman, California, when he sees a reddish glow ahead. Getting closer, he observes an oval-shaped object, smaller in apparent size than the full moon, hanging silently in the sky. It is a very bright crimson-red color, which despite its brightness does not hurt his eyes. It shoots out a beam of blue light similar to a camera flash, then recedes and is gone. Amparano feels “a tingling sensation” in his body as he drives to the station, but he is not concerned. When he gets out, the 6 witnesses at the station note that he is sunburned “as red as a lobster.” His skin shows this condition for about 4 hours before returning to normal, even in areas underneath his uniform. However, no burn is present where the car door is between him and the flash. Also, he has no burn on his back, which is away from the car window as he peers out. Although the redness fades, there are areas where the skin is actually burned \(arms, face, neck\). These are noted on a visit to Fresno Community Hospital. These burns are visible for 2 days. The day following the encounter, “fever blisters” break out on his face and in places on his arms, and these last a week. Allegedly, doctors at the hospital tell the officer that the burns look like they are caused by microwave radiation. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “California Policeman Burned by UFO,” IUR 3, no. 9 \(September 1978\): 10–11; “A Classic CE2P: Kerman, California, 1978,” IUR 33, no. 4 \(May 2011\): 11–12; Jason Marzak, “1978 Kerman UFO Burning: 061401,” Fringe Republic, June 11, 2014; Kevin D.

Clark, the duty officer at the US Navy Pinecastle Electronic Warfare Range in Ocala National Forest, Florida, receives a call from Rocky Morgan reporting an oblong-shaped UFO with an intensely bright, flashing light near Silver Glen Springs. Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center reports no aircraft in the area. Clark and the base air controller, Gary Collison, climb an observation tower and contact external security to alert radar technician Timothy Collins. They watch a cluster of stationary lights at an estimated altitude of 1,600 feet to the west-northwest perhaps 3 miles away. Collins activates the MSQ-102 Radar. After a 20-minute warmup, the radar detects an unidentified blip fluttering over the tower. The tracking computer is put on the target, which is showing very little movement. At 11:20 p.m., his radar locks on to it at treetop level. It seems to be as large as a jetliner. 10–15 minutes later it vanishes from both sight and radar, but at 11:40 p.m. he sees a similar object 15° to the north. Collins tries to train the radar on the object, but it disappears suddenly. Around midnight, another object is seen 3 miles to the northwest. For 5 seconds it moves at 575 mph, then accelerates for 2 seconds, and executes a hairpin turn in one second—a radical reversal of direction. Now the UFO is shooting northward toward the base, slowing to a mere 3 mph. Collins finally locks on this object. Shortly afterward, the target vanishes. A dozen naval personnel visually observe red, green, and white lights from the control tower for more than an hour. The captain of the Lisa C on the Apalachicola River also witnesses the lights at 10:30 p.m. \(or 1:00 a.m.\). **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Radar Confirms Unidentified Lights](http://www.nicap.org/780514pinecastle%5Fdir.htm)”; “[Flying Object Baffles Computer](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/press/internationalheraldtribune18may1978.htm) [with Maneuvers in Florida Sky,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/press/internationalheraldtribune18may1978.htm)” International Herald Tribune, May 18, 1978; “[Navy Says Unusual Sighting Was](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97271361/) [Just an Object Flying Unidentified,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97271361/)” Orlando \(Fla.\) Sentinel, May 18, 1978, p. 4-C; “Navy Radar-Visual in Florida, Part I,” IUR 3, no. 6 \(June 1978\): 4–5; “Case 3-7-1,” IUR 3, no. 7 \(July 1978\): 3; “[UFO Sighting at](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/146%20SEPTEMBER%201978.pdf) [Pinecastle Elecytronic Warfare Range,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/146%20SEPTEMBER%201978.pdf)” UFO Investigator, September 1978, pp. 1–2; Second Look, April, May, June, October 1979; Clark III 829–830 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5715 ### Event 40788 (0CDF3D59) **Date:** 5/14/1978 **Description:** At 10:20 p.m. 12 men witnessed a UFO with multicolored lights at the Pinecastle Tracking Station, near Ocala Forest, Florida.

By the roadside he sees 2–4 men about 5 feet tall wearing tightly fitting black “diver suits.” The men have green faces, slanting eyes, and webbed fingers; they move in a jumping motion and invite him into a “bus-shaped” white rectangular vehicle hovering nearby. The interior looks like a completely black room outfitted only in benches. He is examined by an apparatus that looks like an X-ray machine, and the men offer to share with him a transparent substance that they are eating, but he declines. The farmer later returns to the site with some villagers and finds rectangular footprints in the muddy road bank. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 3, no. 7 \(July 1978\): 2 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5717 ### Event 40803 (3CEDA7C9) **Date:** 5/17/1978 **Description:** At 8:30 a.m. at a farmhouse in Emilcin, Poland just eight-tenths of a kilometer from the scene of Jan Wolski's humanoid encounter the day before, a mother was preparing breakfast while her two children, Adas and Agnieska, played outside.

A short time later her son Adas came inside to tell her that he had seen a box-shaped aircraft, like "a little house," fly low over their barn.

Adas said that the object was flying with its smallest wall forward, and there was a square window in this side with rounded corners through which he could see a pilot. On the edges of the side, he said, were moving, swaying black rods, like the feelers on a snail. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Xenolog, December 1978, p. 2; Albert S.

Four horses were grazing there. Gabriel Stoquart had finished pouring the feed into the troughs and was going to check the fences, on the side of the brambles. The boy who was accompanying him stayed to stroke the horses on the nostrils and suddenly shouted "Look there!". The witness then saw, coming towards him, a grey shape, like that of a hot-air balloon whose fabric was deflating and which was floating, oscillating. Mentally he made the reflexion that they would have difficulty getting out of this marshy place. He changed position to get a better view of this thing which was descending, which was now resting in what he called the marsh. But it was not a hot-air balloon he realised, dumbfounded. This thing started to vibrate, its greyish colour became luminous, an electric blue like one can see on certain illuminated signs. It was magnificent. Then this thing glided slightly and rose straight up at a vertiginous speed. During the ascent it was of a luminous, matt white colour. The witness and the child did not linger on the spot and returned to their home. As the witness lives opposite the police station, he went in to tell them about the event. The policemen were ready to go home, as by then it must have been around 4 o'clock. But two of the men accompanied the witness back to the spot the same day: they discovered traces of the landing with footprints of the craft and a kind of white powder sticking to the vegetation. The next day it was a team of 6 men from the Quaregnon police who came to the spot. Plaster casts were taken of the indentations (footprints), powder - like talcum - was collected in bags. Powder had soiled one of the policemen's hands. Back at the office, even after washing his hands, this powder still stuck to his skin. From the top of the slag heap one of the policemen filmed the activities with a Super 8. **Reference:** Investigation reopened in 1995 by vog and Thierry WATHELET. Reasons: death of the policemen who had been in contact with the powder, accusations against SOBEPS, GEPAN, university professors, political authorities, the French gendarmerie… all of whom would have made the evidence disappear and some of whom allege that the case is a hoax. The hoax is formally contradicted by 4 inspectors of the municipal police still active in 1995. vog had the original file stolen from his home on 19 February 2000 by Claude Raffy, known in French ufology circles and since then untraceable, but fortunately there were copies in safety **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3007 ### Event 40821 (E965D7E5) **Date:** 5/29/1978 **Time:** 04:56:59.9 **Location:** 49.7620 78.0920 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

Namdar, the pilot of a Boeing 707 flying from Shiraz to Tehran, Iran, is descending to 25,000 feet over Isfahan. He sees a huge, purple form passing below him at amazing speed. The Tehran airport cannot confirm a radar tracking. Suddenly the plane’s cabin is flooded with brilliant yellow light radiating from two sources. It feels as hot as “a sunny day in summer in Spain.” The purple light continues to follow the plane until a portion of the UFO separates from it and moves toward the southeast side of the witnesses.

Brininger and PFC Johnny Johnson, go on sentry patrol at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Standing outside on an 80-foot tower, the two men watch a distinctly outlined, illuminated white ball with a short conical tail approach from the south. Within 5 seconds, the object moves west of their position and 20°–30° up Briniger estimates that the ice-cream cone shaped UFO is as close as 300 feet away and 200 feet in the air, flying parallel to the fence line. He directs a spotlight at the object, which abruptly makes a sharp turn to the west. It is in sight for 8–10 seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Case 3-7-130: Three UFOs over High Security Military Base?” IUR 3, no. 7 \(July 1978\): 4–5 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5726 ### Event 40860 (4BC275C3) **Date:** 6/12/1978 **Time:** 23:00 **Location:** ROTA, SPAIN **Description:** 2 / car.

As he approached he could see that the object had a transparent dome on top and inside he could see three short humanoids. The dwarf beings had large egg-like heads and very long fingers. They seemed to be working around a central console. When he got to within 25 yards of the object he was stopped by some kind of a force field and blacked out. When he came to he noticed that the briefcase he had been carrying looked old and frayed. The force field was gone, so he again began to walk toward the object but was knocked down by a blast of wind. The craft began to glow and rose off the ground and shot away quickly at high speed. He learned later that he had lost track of 45 minutes of time. Under hypnosis he recalled being gently led into the craft and examined. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The volume rose and fell as though the voice was being blown on the wind. He could not distinguish the words, however, and it faded away after about five seconds. He walked another 50 meters further on when he noticed, through a wooded gate to his right, a cylindrical column of white light. This vertical beam appeared to be on the grounds of a convent and was 200 meters away. It looked to be 3 1/2 meters high and 2 meters in diameter, and it appeared solid and sharply defined. The witness then had the impression that something or someone was in the beam, and he became scared and ran home, having watched the beam for about 5 seconds. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The object then changes direction and shoots away. They knock on the door of a baker named Varisse to tell their story, visibly terrified. At about the same time, a restaurant manager named Bachère is driving toward Bordeaux when he sees a large orange ball, very bright, hovering above La Réole at about 1,000 feet before disappearing.

Witnesses: Two (Mr. Alain Mainville and Louis Roger) Investigator: Monique Taillon. On the evening of June 22, 1978, Mr. Alain Mainville and Mr. Louis Roger were fishing at the Cabonga Reservoir, which is located in the Vérendrye Park. This reservoir covers an immense area of water, and is composed of many bays and islands, with different varieties of fish. The two witnesses were at the time of the observation about half an hour from their camp near the Brady Bay Campground, and were fishing in their boat. The sky was completely covered, and it was beginning to rain, the time indicating 10:15 PM when both considered raising the anchor, in order to return to their camp to avoid being completely soaked by the rain. They had just traveled a few hundred meters south of the reservoir when they suddenly saw in front of them, just above the water, an enormous disk of bright red color. Having not seen it coming, as it appeared all at once like turning on a light, one of the witnesses, Alain, taken by panic, stopped the outboard motor. His friend Louis, who was at the front of the boat, quickly lit his flashlight in order to signal their presence, as he thought that this intense light came from another boat that seemed to be rushing towards them. He then threw himself into the bottom of the boat. A few moments later, Alain shouted to him "immediately turn off your light". By doing so they realized that the object was already far enough in front of them, and they saw that it was clearly an object flying in the shape of a disk seen from the side that had a bright red color. This disk disappeared a few seconds later at full speed in a south-easterly direction. The observation had lasted about 30 seconds. The disk, as it moved away, seemed to shrink and become a little paler. It made no noise. Shortly afterwards, Louis, still at the front of the boat, distinguished glows like rays but could not say what their shape or color was. Alain, on the other hand, did not see anything like that. The two witnesses stated that they had no desire to experience such an event again. **Reference:** UFO Quebec no. 25 ed.

They stop the car for a better look. One of the lights breaks away from the group and approaches as close as 980 feet before disappearing. They drive in that direction and stop by a ravine to look at a luminous disc that gives off a yellow light about 325 feet away. Five or six very tall entities are standing next to it. Two of them walk up the ravine to within 16 feet of the witnesses. They are dressed in tight-fitting white coveralls and have shoulder-length hair. The two smile, and one points to the disc, which is radiating multicolored lights. The lights go out temporarily when another car drives by. Duration is 35 minutes. All the witnesses feel a euphoria, even 36 hours afterward.

They found themselves thus "surrounded by pleasant sensations". The father, who was deaf, was able to hear what his son was saying during the ascent. They then felt a great cold and were dazzled by reddish lights, which made them look down. The panorama that was revealed was the vision of an unknown city, with towers of buildings next to each other. There was a street 5 m wide, only one; no other streets, no trees, no people, no vehicles. The windows of the houses were coloured with a reddish glow and the buildings seemed brown. This vision only lasted a short moment, as the Chrysler seemed to be "flying" very quickly. Finally, the vehicle was back on the road, 9 km from the place where the ascent had taken place, as soon as it touched the ground, the engine started up again on its own. **Reference:** Pierre DELVAL: "Contacts of the 4th type" - De Vecchi 1979, p. 110, 111 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3011 ### Event 40930 (CB0CBD32) **Date:** 7/6/1978 **Time:** 21:00 **Location:** MENDOZA, ARG **Description:** 2 / car levitated.

Francisco Nunez, age 66, and his son of the same name, age 24, both mechanics, were driving south of the city in their 1930 Chevy pickup when their vehicle was lifted from road. They experienced a total change in their environment and scenery and found themselves speeding through a city with tall buildings on a five-lane highway. The sky, which had been clear and starry, was now red.

They were nearly blinded by a brilliant red light and felt very cold. The vehicle's engine and the car stereo stopped running, and they noticed that all sounds had ceased. Finally their car "landed" back on the highway near Lujan de Cuyo, about 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) beyond the point where the incident had begun. Their pickup's engine restarted and they drove home. Both men felt a compulsive need to wash the car and take a bath. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, November 1978, p. 14, translating Cronica, August 30 & 31, 1978; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 554 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3888 ### Event 40936 (50461240) **Date:** 7/7/1978 **Time:** 06:00 **Location:** MENDOZA, ARG **Description:** 25-30 saucers cover soccer stadium. 1000 observer(s).

On July 8th, around 11 pm, Eugene Kline and Ken O'Neal, both 17 years old, were walking in the fields when they heard a strange noise in the bushes. Turning around, they saw an unknown creature, over 2 meters tall, with an enormous head wider than the body and large red eyes. They immediately panicked and while Ken ran towards the house, Eugene was rooted to the spot for a long time before he could join his friend. Eugene's father called the police, who came to investigate the scene. On July 10th, the creature was observed by other residents of Mansfield. (names in the police report, but not disclosed to the public) It was around 10 pm when a group of young people were doing cross-country near the railroad track. They called the Bellville police to affirm that an apparition of a large black creature with red eyes had scared them. The authorities were impressed by these consistent testimonies, coming from separate people. In the evening of July 12th, Theresa Kline was helping her father spread hay in the barn, when they heard in the distance the slow arrival of a train. When the train began to sound its horn in short and long intervals. The father went back inside and Theresa, curious about the warning of the train, decided to go take a look. She had not gone far before she saw the silhouette with red eyes. The creature emitted a long, shrill cry of pain. It smelled terribly. Theresa turned on her flashlight and the creature started to run. The sheriff, alerted, could not find any physical evidence of the creature, and speculated, with ironic skepticism, that the Klines were seeing some wild animal come out of the woods. (...)

The officers were not sure what it was, and stated that they "get UFO sigthings frequently". They also said "We just act as a sounding board and pass on the information to our UFO Department in San Diego."

It is about 1.5–2 feet in diameter but spreads out into a cone that covers the entire street and moves toward his car, illuminating the interior like “40 flash cameras.” The reflection off the car hood is dazzling. Petrified for 45 seconds, he finally sticks his head out the door and feels considerable heat. The light shrinks and dims, revealing the silhouette of a saucer darker than the sky and about 80–100 feet in diameter. The object is at treetop level and has small steady white lights on each side and a rib-like structure on the bottom. After hovering above the car a few seconds, it moves southwest about 200 yards and then takes off almost simultaneously. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Case 3-8-129,” IUR 3, no. 8 \(August 1978\): 4 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5746 ### Event 40957 (5AC49BF2) **Date:** 7/11/1978 **Description:** Two young boys were playing in a tree in an empty field near the Can Fita farm in Can Cifre, Ibiza, Spain when they heard a loud noise coming from the nearby woods. Thinking it could be some kind of animal, they climbed down the tree and were confronted by a strange robot-like being. The humanoid had a bright metallic body that reflected the sunlight, two antenna-like projections from the top of its head, and large slit like eyes and mouth. To their horror it began moving towards them using incredibly long jumps. Both boys ran towards a nearby barbwire fence, but were astonished to see another bizarre figure standing just in front of some nearby trees. They describe the second figure as a man over two meters tall, bearded and with long black hair and wearing a long white cape that was flowing in the wind. Their fear increased when they realized both figures had apparently come from a huge landed UFO that was partially hidden behind some nearby electrical pylons. As they ran to town they were chased by a bright blue light most of the way. Strange tracks were later found at the site of the encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing Iker Jimenez, Encuentros: La Historia de Los OVNI en España **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3995 ### Event 40958 (3D2A7824) **Date:** 7/11/1978 **Description:** A 44-year-old woman was watching television in Alto Da Mooca, Sao Paolo, Brazil as her 3 sons slept in their room. At around eleven o'clock her small dog began acting strangely by running around in circles, then running from the kitchen and to the door that led outside, apparently trying to get out. She walked towards the door and heard a loud "mechanical" sound. When she opened the door she was confronted by two short humanoids who hovered just above the ground. Both humanoids stood side by side. Behind the humanoids was an oval-shaped craft that had landed on three metallic leg. One being approached the now paralyzed witness, making gestures as if to calm her down, while the other humanoid floated around outside as if searching for something. The only movement she was able to make was to raise her arms to her chest. She could not utter a word.

The humanoid closest to her caressed her head while the other floated towards the UFO, situated in the middle of her yard. The being standing next to her then floated to a door in the UFO and removed from his belt an aluminum container. The container illuminated the yard in a bizarre yellow "coherent" light that appeared solid. The beam of light would enlarge, then decrease in size intermittently. The beam of light was directed towards the kitchen area, the yard and into the landed UFO. The humanoid aiming the beam of light then preceded to take a small cylinder from his belt which emitted a cloud of smoke, enveloping both humanoids. A few seconds later both beings boarded the object, but before entering they beckoned for her to come with them. When they got no response they waved at her and entered the object. Soon a plume of smoke emerged from the bottom and the object began to ascend. Two bright yellow lights became visible and the craft flew off into the distance. Before it left she thought she saw another figure through a porthole in the object.

Moments later the witness was again able to move. She ran to notify her family who said she appeared cold and very pale. She described the humanoids as 1.25 meters in height, wearing round silver metallic helmets on their heads. In the front of the helmet was a blue dimly lit area. Their faces inside the helmets appeared yellowish, and their eyes were round and dark, and lacked irises or eyelids. They had small flat noses and seemed to lack ears or mouths. Where the mouth should have been was a round metallic plate. Their one-piece suits were light gray in color and both had belts with numerous gadgets. Their bodies were very thin, and their heads were disproportionately large. One of the humanoids was somewhat heavier and appeared to be a female; this one had a metallic disc-shaped emblem or plate on the chest, about 15 cm in diameter with a small white light in the middle. The other humanoid's uniform lacked one. The object was metallic and oval in shape with several oval-shaped portholes. It had antennae and a multicolored sphere of light on the top. During the encounter there was a total lack of sound. There was also a strong smell resembling ammonia and she felt extremely cold. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

A Spanish Army unit on an exercise in Mazarrón, Murcia, Spain, watches an unfamiliar group of lights for two hours above a road: a red light that vanishes occasionally, two greenish-white lights that shine sporadically, and four white lights that appear irregularly and fly without any specific formation. Their height over the terrain is estimated at 13–100 feet. The lights oscillate and move forward, leaving the road and moving around obstacles like houses and hills, then coming back to the road in front of the group of soldiers. A reconnaissance of the area the following night reveals nothing unusual, except the antenna of a meteorological station that probably was not the source of the lights. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Swords 434 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5748 ### Event 40975 (3999A8CE) **Date:** 7/14/1978 **Location:** UN **Description:** [Eric Gairy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric%5FGairy)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric%5FGairy) accompanied by ufologists [J.

Witnesses: Evelyn Cayton, Howe Cayton, Herbert Cayton, Vicki Keck, Scott Patterson, Mary Ackerman, Becky Manley, Linda Jones and Henry Colt. Investigators: Ron Schaffner, Earl Jones, Jim Carnes Jim Rastetter, Iona Boyce, Barbara Mudrak (Akron Beacon-Journal) and James Shannon (Stark County Deputy Sheriff) Investigation conducted on September 9 and 30, 1978.) August 21: The major observation took place on August 21; Members of Evelyn Cayton's family and friends were on the doorstep when they heard unusual noises in the direction of the chicken coop, to the right of the house. Looking in that direction, they saw a pair of yellow eyes in the light of the outdoor lamp. Scott Patterson, whose car was just parked, turned on his headlights, and everyone saw a large furry bipedal creature walking towards the car. The whole company took refuge in the house to call the Stark County police. While waiting for the police, the creature appeared at the kitchen window. Patterson took out his .22 caliber pistol, Evelyn loaded a .22 long rifle. The creature stayed in front of the window for about ten minutes and was clearly seen in the light of the outdoor lamp. They decided not to shoot unless it moved. Suddenly it disappeared. The Sheriff arrived 15 minutes after the call, about 5 minutes after the creature disappeared. A strong smell still lingered in the area. Shonnan told reporters that it smelled like sulfur and ammonia.

They could now see that the lights were eyes on what appeared to be two cougar-like animals. Then the group saw what looked like a large hairy bipedal creature step in front of the large cats as if to protect them. This humanoid then lurched towards the Patterson's car. The witnesses fled inside the house and called the sheriff's office. The hairy bipedal creature appeared at the kitchen window while they were waiting for the deputy sheriffs to arrive. Patterson pointed a 22-caliber pistol at it, while Evelyn Clayton loaded a .22 caliber rifle. The creature stood outside the window for close to ten minutes. They decided they would not shoot it unless the creature made advances toward them. It left quickly without harming anyone. A strong stench resembling "ammonia sulfur" remained in the area long after the creature was gone. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

They next saw a circular UFO with a black center and white edges, and giving off blue reflections, only 100 meters away from them. They jumped in their car to drive away, but suddenly found themselves 50 meters away, with the car facing the other way. This suggests that they experienced a period of missing time lasting at least several minutes, but from the account no one appears to have investigated this further. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, October 1978, p. 14, translating a newspaper article from Cronica, August 25, 1978 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5233 ### Event 41146 (E1BD99B4) **Date:** 8/22/1978 **Description:** On the same night as the hunters' close encounter experience in Argentina, several guests were having dinner outdoors at a resort on top of a cliff in Southampton, Bermuda. They saw what first appeared to them to be a helicopter approaching. When the UFO got closer it shone a blood red spotlight on the witnesses, and they now realized that what they were seeing was really a 30-foot in diameter disc-shaped object. The craft had brightly lit rectangular windows around its perimeter. The main witness and several of the other guests could now see several Grey figures that appeared to be waving at them; one of the beings stared directly at one of the witnesses. After about a minute the silent craft flew out over the ocean and disappeared. At this point, several military jets appeared and appeared to give pursuit to the object. Later that night, at around 5:00 a.m., the wife of the main witness woke up and was startled to see a short figure standing in their room. The figure raised one hand, waved, then lept right out the balcony window, a distance of about 10 feet, never touching the rail. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He estimates them to be 100 miles high. The light in the right rear continues moving in the opposite direction of the ship and off to its left at great speed, disappearing in the distance; the light in the left rear shifts over to occupy the position in the formation it had occupied. After 5 seconds of remaining still, it shoots back to the left again and departs at high speed. The remaining light rushes forward, following the same path as the first light.

She is on Cliffland Road alongside the Des Moines River in a wooded, rural area. A full-moon-sized red- orange light shoots silently from the east to the west in several seconds. As it flies across the front of her car, her windshield fogs up and the car stalls out to a stop. The interference lasts only a few seconds, and the car restarts without her turning the key; the window defogs as quickly as it had steamed up. She last sees the light against a background of trees up ahead, lower than the treetops. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Car Interference in Iowa,” IUR 3, no. 12 \(December 1978\): 14 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5793 ### Event 41159 (2126CBB6) **Date:** 8/24/1978 **Location:** Ginghamsburg, Ohio **Description:** 11:40 p.m. Two 19-year old girls, driving west near tiny Ginghamsburg, Ohio, watch two oddly colored orange lights twice the size of aircraft landing lights. A humming sound can be heard both from the lights and from the car radio. The driver can’t get the car to go faster than about 20 mph. The lights are coming from the left, one directly over the other. They look away momentarily and the lights are gone; they look again, and the lights are moving above the car. From the south they have moved to the northwest over a field. A rod or a light beam comes down from one ball of light and shines a light at the witnesses for one second. The driver tries to flash the car lights at it, to no avail. They look away briefly and do not notice how the lights vanish. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Car Interference in Ohio?” IUR 3, no. 12 \(December 1978\): 14 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5794 ### Event 41160 (C73F00EE) **Date:** 8/24/1978 **Description:** 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.

A humanoid form emerged from it, whose face and lower extremities he could not see. This form came towards him, hands outstretched showing the palms. The being was entirely covered in a kind of bluish mesh. Panicked, the lumberjack tried to flee, but the being pressed a button on its chest which paralyzed the lumberjack. A few moments later he found himself inside the object, without knowing how it happened. There, small beings pricked his arms. After that they released him in a difficult-to-access place, about 40 km from where he was working. **Reference:** Pierre DELVAL: "Contacts of the 4th Type" - De Vecchi 1979, p. 116-117 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3015 ### Event 41189 (D5ED1B04) **Date:** 8/30/1978 **Time:** ~10:00 **Location:** VENADO TUERTO, ARG **Description:** Rancher finds mutilation cow.

Perez, 12, goes to gather a herd of horses near Venado Tuerto, Argentina. As he rides his horse, he senses something flying overhead. Several objects appear and begin maneuvering and shooting out beams of multicolored light. His horse panics, and Perez manages to ride home. His father berates him and tells him to go back. When he returns, he finds a large domed object with windows on the ground. A door opens and a 7-foot-tall being wearing gloves and a cylindrical helmet appears. It seems to be attached to the object by some type of breathing apparatus. It invites Perez inside the craft, so he ties his horse to a ladder protruding from the bottom of the object and climbs in. His horse is panicked again and keeps kicking the object, injuring its leg. Inside, he sees a panel with buttons and some tables. A robot-like entity is cutting some animal bones into pieces. Perez tries touching the tall being and objects inside but is prevented by an invisible barrier. Perez jumps out the door and back to the ground. The tall being follows him outside. Perez asks for one of the giant’s gloves as proof of his experience. When it takes off the glove, Perez sees a green, claw-like hand with blue metallic nails. The tall being then pricks Perez’s right arm and apparently extracts some blood. As Perez rides home with the glove, two flying objects catch up to him and emit a small slab and sphere that descend and brush by the horse. They pull the glove up with a magnetic force. The wound on Perez’s arm stays open for many years and seeps a transparent liquid. A scar remains six years later when Perez has a medical check-up for military service; he is declared unfit because of the story he tells about its origin. After the event, Perez begins having premonitory dreams about unfortunate events. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacques Vallée, Confrontations: A Scientist’s Search for Alien Contact, Ballantine, 1990, [pp.](https://archive.org/details/confrontationssc00vall%5F0/page/153/mode/2up) [153–156](https://archive.org/details/confrontationssc00vall%5F0/page/153/mode/2up); “[Jacques Vallée: The Juan Perez UFO Case,](https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1248998/pg1)” Above Top Secret, October 20, 2019; David Metcalfe, “[Witness of Another World: Exploring the Soul of a Phenomenon,](https://davidmetcalfe.wordpress.com/2019/10/21/witness-of-another-world-exploring-the-soul-of-a-phenomenon/)” Exploring the Outer Edges of Society and Mind, October 21, 2019; Mark Pilkington, “The Gaucho Also Cries,” Fortean Times 391 \(April 2020\): 38–40; Internet Movie Database, “[Witness of Another World](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7027162/)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5810 ### Event 41236 (6CA07FBD) **Date:** 9/6/1978 **Locations:** San Michele boarding house; Sassello; Savona; Italy **Description:** Late evening. Two witnesses at the San Michele boarding house in Sassello, Savona, Italy, see two round black objects close enough to form a figure 8. The are making sounds like incomprehensible radio chatter. They depart at great speed, leaving circular imprints behind. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “UFO Flap 1978: Italian Style,” IUR 4, no. 3/4 \(Sept./Oct. 1979\): 15 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5811 ### Event 41237 (123BFC0B) **Date:** 9/6/1978 **Description:** The young witness, Juan O. Perez, had gone out at dawn to bring in a herd of horses in Venado, Tuerto, Argentina. At 6:45 a.m. as he rode his horse through the morning fog he felt something fly overhead. Next, several objects appeared and began maneuvering overhead, emitting powerful beams of multicolored, changing lights. His horse panicked and he barely managed to ride back home. When he got home, his father reprimanded him and ordered him to go back to get the horses. Back in the field he encountered a large round object on the ground; it had a dome on top with several round windows. A door in the craft opened, and a seven-foot tall being wearing gloves and a cylindrical helmet appeared. The being seemed to be attached to the object by some type of breathing apparatus. He invited Juan to come inside. They boy then tied his horse to the craft's ladder and climbed in. Inside, he was able to see a panel with buttons, tables, and a small robot-like being that was apparently busy disecting the large bones of some animals resembling either cows or horses. Afraid, the boy jumped out of the object and onto the ground. The tall being followed him out. He then requested that the giant give him one of the giant's gloves, as proof of the experience, and when he removed the glove he then saw that the being had green, claw-like hands with blue metallic nails. The being then pricked Juan's right arm, apparently extracting some blood in the process. As he rode back toward home carrying the glove, two flying objects caught up with him and emitted a small slab and sphere that descended and brushed by the horse, pulling off the glove like a magnet. Another curious feature of his report was that while inside the UFO the young witness attempted to touch the being and the object several times, but was prevented from doing it by what appeared to be an invisible barrier. Six days prior to the incident the witness's father had found a mutilated cow in one of his pastures. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

A few months earlier, a house near the store had been inexplicably bombarded with stones. Gradually, the image shrinks until it becomes unreadable. They turn off the television and plug in a record player but it runs slow for no reason. Convinced that the electrical network is suffering from a voltage drop, they turn on a small portable radio: the broadcasts are inaudible. They hear noises of objects falling in the store. Thinking of thieves, Carbajal and Ledesma put their disabled friend in safety outside the house, then open the door of the store. Jars of mayonnaise and a bottle of wine are broken on the floor. A scale has also fallen, glass broken. 6 m away from them are 2 beings of human appearance but of small size, dressed in tight-fitting suits, observing them with a threatening attitude. One of the two takes a box filled with cigarette cartridges from a counter and throws it towards the witnesses. Then one of the beings raises a hand to his face: when his index finger comes into contact with his nose, the two entities vanish into the air.

They next attempted to use a stereo player, and then the radio, but these did not function properly either. They then heard some noises coming from an adjoining shop that was connected to their house. When they went to investigate, they found some broken bottles on the floor and some other damage. Moments later, they became aware of presence of two short beings standing nearby. These beings were dressed in bright blue, one-piece suits, dark blue helmets, and high boots also bright blue in color; on their arms they wore shiny black gauntlets that went above the elbow. Their faces were brown and their complexion seemed pockmarked, their eyes looked normal and their noses were flat. One of the figures was holding an object that looked like a "hair dryer", and was pointing it at the witnesses. Both men then received a telepathic message warning them not to scream. At this point one of the men ran for the door, and in response both figures put their fingers up their noses and vanished instantly, reappearing in a different location in the shop. They did this several more times as the first witness, armed with a knife, ran around trying to get out of the shop. Some empty crates were thrown at the witnesses during the melee. They finally managed to escape, and summoned the police who searched the premises but found nothing. Neighbors had reported seeing strange lights in the area. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Suddenly she felt the car lose speed, then she felt an incredible circular shadow that engulfed the car, which was then sucked up. When she came to her senses she was very, very high up. She had the feeling that the car was falling apart, the doors were banging as if it were old scrap. Then she remembers nothing. When she came to, she was in a semi-circular, matte yellow room, and in front of her stood a very tall man over two meters tall, who said his name was Dagon. He spoke without moving his lips and while he spoke Mrs. Carvalho felt "diminished in volume", as if her clothes were enlarged and her feet were floating in her boots. In front of this man there was no car, there was nothing. It was the federal police who found Mrs. Carvalho asleep on the road to Florianapolis, on the return journey. (note from vog: coincidence?

She stands at the south window looking out at fields and sees a bright moon and an object with lights in a long shape, red and pink as if on fire, in the southwest. Two “normal” men dressed in white suits can be seen about 300 feet from the window, but it is too dark for details. They start moving toward the house, but then stop and turn back. The UFO comes in fast at this point very close to the ground, then leaves quickly, climbing to the west. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Tennessee Humanoids?” IUR 4, no. 1 \(July 1979\): 12; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1978-09-15-usa-delano.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1978-09-15-usa-delano.htm) May 15, 2010 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5819 ### Event 41286 (DA252F2C) **Date:** 9/15/1978 **Location:** Carpentersville, Illinois **Description:** 4:00 a.m. A 26-year-old secretary is awakened in Carpentersville, Illinois, by a whirring sound.

The witness could only recall vague memories after this, but she remembers the police were called. Years later her mother told her that she had seen the disc land and saw figures come out of it. The next night she woke up thirsty and asked her father to bring her a glass of water. As she followed her dad to the kitchen she noticed an odd smell, which was at the same time smokey and sweet. She then noticed a small being walking behind her. It was about four feet tall, grayish green in color, and had no visible eyes, ears, mouth, or nose. It had some sort of bag, which it threw over the witness. Her last memory was of seeing her father standing still as if frozen in place. She doesn't remember anything else. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He goes to visit his mother on the other side of town, who has also heard the noise and seen a flash of light that causes the lights and TV to go out. When Faralli is driving home at 9:00 p.m. on the Via Pié agli Orti, the engine and lights of his car die. He feels paralyzed as he watches a domed disc come near and float inches from the ground. The dome opens up and two 3.5-foot-tall beings emerge, floating 4 inches from the ground. They are wearing green one-piece suits; their helmets have clear visors and two small spiraling antennas. Their faces look like green- skinned skulls through the visors. Faralli watches them make a full circle around the car without noise or gesture, then return to the UFO, which rises up several yards, seemingly propelled by three red, orange, and blue-colored beams, and shoots off vertically. The car starts on its own. He returns to the site the following day and finds three burn marks in the unpaved road. Digging into the ground, he finds the earth carbonized to a depth of 8 inches. Soil samples are taken to the European Atomic Energy Community labs at Ispra, which finds that the road material has been burned by a temperature less than 500° Celsius, and not by a bonfire or hydrocarbon fuels. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Roberto Pinotti, “Landing, E.M.

Shortly after that a motorist, Sr. R. Faralli, a 25-year-old man driving a Fiat 127, was on his way home when his engine and lights went out, then a bright red object descended over the road just ahead of him and hovered. It was a domed disc, hat like in shape. He found he was paralyzed and could not move, as he watched a panel open and two humanoids emerge and float towards his vehicle. They were five feet tall and wore green coveralls and helmets with aerials and face masks, and they floated about four feet above the ground. They circled the car and appeared to inspect it. Their skin also appeared greenish. They re-entered the UFO, which took off with a flash of light and an explosive sound. The witness suffered eye irritation. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Roberto Pinotti, International UFO Reporter, October 1979, p. 15; Richard Hall, MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 153 (November 1980); Lumieres dans la Nuit, January 1981; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 265, 270, 349, 491, 495; UNICAT, case # 111; Mark Cashman, Project 1947 EM Effects Catalog website; David F.

Climbing up the riverbank to investigate, he sees a domed disc about 13–16 feet in diameter that is resting on a mudflat 66 feet away. The object is brassy or yellowish metallic with telescopic legs that terminate in flat pads. A figure about 3.5 feet tall appears from behind the dome, walking around the rim. It wears tight-fitting coveralls of scaly, silvery material that sparkles in the sunlight. It wears boots, has two containers at waist level, and white gloves. Its face is dark bronze with almond-shaped eyes and large pupils. The entity stares at the shocked Filiputti. After a few minutes it begins walking again, stoops down, and works on a horseshoe-shaped protrusion on the dome. Finally, it continues walking around to the other side. Filiputti hears a rumbling sound and a piercing whistle as the object begins to rise, withdrawing its landing gear. The underside looks like it has a grid pattern, and it emits a bluish glow like a tongue of flame. When it reaches an altitude of 33 feet, it turns on edge and speeds out of sight to the southwest. He has been watching it for about 6 minutes. Three circular imprints about 20 inches in diameter are found in the dry mud and sand. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Antonio Chiumiento, “[‘The](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201983%20V%2028%20N%205.pdf) [Little Oriental Airman’: Another Remarkable C.E.III Case in Italy,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201983%20V%2028%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 28, no. 5 \(June 1983\): 3–8; UFOEv II 497–498; 1Pinotti 223–230 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5823 ### Event 41310 (4C0E2F74) **Date:** 9/18/1978 **Description:** Mr. Gould, age 52, had experienced a series of humanoid encounters in January of 1978 in his neighborhood. At two o'clock on this early morning, again in South Middleton, Massachusetts he looked out the front window of his house and noticed a group of humanoid figures standing besides the road. Five of the figures wore white coverall suits, as in the previous encounters, and one wore black. The black dressed individual appeared to be pointing to the ground. Their clothing was reflective. After a few minutes the beings walked into the woods and disappeared. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Hinners decides not to mention, though, that NASA elected eight months earlier to study physical evidence retrieved from UAP on Earth if presented with it. In fact, it was Hinners himself responsible for a letter sent to Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, MO that stated NASA would receive “bona fide physical \[UAP\] evidence.” One year later, a letter to Hinners from a colleague writes the UAP physical evidence program is ongoing, known as “UFOHEAP,” though it seems to be unfunded. * [https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Documents/USA%20-%20Congress/US%20House%20Of%20Representatives%20-%201978%20-%20Hearing%20-%20Space%20Science%20Subcommittee%20-%20Extraterrestrial%20Intelligence%20Research.pdf](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Documents/USA%20-%20Congress/US%20House%20Of%20Representatives%20-%201978%20-%20Hearing%20-%20Space%20Science%20Subcommittee%20-%20Extraterrestrial%20Intelligence%20Research.pdf) (p89) * [https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/ufodocsnasa.pdf](https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/ufodocsnasa.pdf) (p124, p121) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_174 ### Event 41312 (3FBA15DA) **Date:** 9/20/1978 **Location:** CHINGFORD, LONDON **Description:** Hexagon object seen over town.

The object glided silently over their heads. Through the windows in the craft they were able to see several figures that seemed to be talking excitedly to one another, and some of them waved down at the witnesses. The driver attempted to chase the UFO, which came down to some 50 feet above the ground. At this point their memory of the event becomes a little sketchy, and they experienced a period of missing time. However, the main witness did have some vague memories of the two of them walking through an orange grove without talking to each other. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Shortly later, he saw an oval-shaped object resting on the ground on top of a nearby hill. A human-like figure stood by the object. It wore two antennae-like protrusions on its head. Frightened, he began to run away but fell down while four humanoids approached him, making huge, bizarre, bounding-like jumps. Next, he fainted, and when he awoke he again saw that the four 5-foot-tall entities were closer, wearing buttoned jackets, backpacks, and helmets with antennae. Their hands appeared to be shaped like pincers. This frightened him and he fainted again, and when he finally woke up sometime later everything had vanished. Coincidentally, at around the same time (8:00 p.m.) a bright light approached an Italian Air Force F-104 jet over Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It disappeared after three minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, October 1979, p. 17; David F.

Moya Herrera the assistant, replacing Hugo Prambs, who suddenly abandoned the race on September 16 in Bariloche. On September 23 at dawn there were only 1000 km left to cover. They were driving at 140 km/h and saw behind them what they thought was a competitor, approaching at a dizzying speed with dazzling headlights. Suddenly the car began to rise and the whole interior was flooded with light. The engine stopped turning. Looking outside, they saw that they were about 4 m off the ground and the car was still rising. The steering wheel no longer responded. This did not last more than a minute and they were gently deposited back on the road, engine off. They then saw the light move away, it had the shape of a cone. In the shock they still drove the few kilometers that separated them from Pedro Luro and reported in a gas station what had happened: they feared not to be taken seriously, but they were told that this had already happened to other motorists in this place. But here are the elements to add to the puzzle: the odometer reset to zero in Viedma, indicated 50 km. However, the distance to Pedro Luro is 120 km. The fuel tank was filled in Viedma, and had a capacity to cover 400 km: however, this tank was now empty.

Two cable car technicians at the Bâlea Lake resort, Romania, are awakened by a red light visible through dense fog. It is apparently coming from an object some 30 feet outside their window. The light disappears. At the same time, at a military barracks on the site where soldiers have been assigne dwork duties, Cpl. Ioan Dörr gets up and goes outside for a drink of water from a tap at the corner of the building and sees a dark, motionless silhouette only a few feet away. It persists for at least another 5 minutes. The next evening at 11:45 p.m., Sgt. Ion Radu notices a dark figure about 8 feet tall moving slowly on a mound some 65 feet away. Noticing that something had broken open the shutters of their barracks windows, some of the soldiers begin throwing stones at it. Radu approaches to within 4 feet of the figure and raises a club to hit it, but he feels a hot blast and falls backward into the snow. Two other soldiers with him remain paralyzed for a few seconds. The entity moves away with kind of a floating motion. Radu remains unconscious for about 10 minutes as the soldiers try to resuscitate him. Five soldiers see a “wreath of lights” at the spot where the figure had stood and others hear mysterious scratching at the window shutters. The next morning they find four parallel scratches on the shutters about 4 inches apart. The soldiers all decide to spend the next night at a nearby resort. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Romania 130–132 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5829 ### Event 41339 (8591C75E) **Date:** 9/23/1978 **Description:** At midnight two locksmiths watched a mysterious light pulsating and hovering silently above the ground near Biela Lake, Carpathia, Romania.

The soldier ran into the barracks to get additional witnesses, but when they came back out he was unable to locate anyone. He saw the being again, later, standing against a window. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The being was standing next to an oil tank. The three men retreated to their barracks, then came back out, noticing that the being was still there. One of them walked towards the figure holding a club in his hand, and attempted to strike at it, but was somehow unable to hit it. That soldier suddenly fell over backwards. The being then bent down and examined him for a few moments. The other two heard a strange sound coming form the being and saw something flash in its hand. They wanted to assist their friend but were unable to move. When the being finally disappeared and they were able to move they went to check on their friend. He was unconscious and half of his body appeared softer than the other half. His face and hands were red. That night other soldiers saw weird dancing egg-shaped lights on top of the hill, and strange marks were found on the barrack window blinds the next day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The children who arrive at the school before classes go to a small nearby grove of trees to play. There they encounter a strange man, 5.5 feet tall with a green face and dark costume, who is walking through the forest 30 feet away. He turns to face the children, and they panic and run back to school, one child losing his shoe in the rush. The teacher returns with some of the children to the spot, but student Anna Jarocińska goes in the wrong direction and meets only 480 feet from the school a being whose face is a “featureless mask.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Poland 43–45 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5832 ### Event 41364 (232FEF21) **Date:** 9/27/1978 **Locations:** Golina, Poland; forest near Golina, Poland **Description:** 1:00 p.m. Henryk Marciniak is picking mushrooms in the forest near Golina, Poland. He notices a strange landed object standing on four legs about 330 feet away in a clearing. When he rides over to investigate, a door opens and two small beings with unpleasant faces and greenish skin emerge, walking down some steps that have appeared. They approach him, one poking at the motorcycle and the other holding a device like a camera. The first one takes his bag of mushrooms. Marciniak shakes hands with them and tries to indicate the mushrooms are edible and the bike is for riding. Suddenly a buzzing sound comes from the object. The two entities go back inside and the object takes off and disappears. Many years later Marciniak denies the story, possibly because he wants to be left alone. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Poland 45–46 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5833 ### Event 41365 (B2F94407) **Date:** 9/27/1978 **Location:** Gurnee, Illinois **Description:** 7:25 p.m. Two witnesses see a formation of lights above a suburban forest preserve in Gurnee, Illinois.

Two Chilean F-5 aircraft piloted by Capts. Hernán Gabrielli Rojas and Danilo Catalán Farias are on a training mission near Mejillones, Chile. Both pilots see a radar target that gives a return equal to 10 aircraft carriers. Ground radar at Cerro Moreno airport \[now Andrés Sabella Gálvez International Airport\] in Antofagasta picks up the object and confirms its large size. The pilots continue to fly south between 30,000–35,000 feet. At a distance of 20 miles, they see an object “like a plantain banana” swathed in smoke. They approach it cautiously with their gun cameras on, but the UFO disappears at a huge speed to the west, heading toward Easter Island, vanishing from all three radar screens.

They then saw two strange beings dressed in silver suits who, instead of walking, silently glided over the bushes and fences and much faster than when walking. A third figure then appeared, carrying a gray metal box at his waist. These humanoids seemed to have no face, arms, or legs that could be distinguished at that distance. One of the boys had a camera in his bag, but he was unable to use it, as if he were paralyzed. When the humanoids moved away in the direction of their saucer, the four terrified boys ran away and told their story to the local police who conducted an investigation the next day. Ovoid prints 20 cm long by 8 cm wide were found, as well as a large ovoid print 13 m long and 7 m wide with 8 deeply dug triangular holes in the ground.

About 900 feet to the west of it are two beings in silver suits that seem to glide without walking. A third being joins them, holding a silver “suitcase,” and they glide along a fence along a steep incline a short way before vanishing. The silver object disappears too. Later, three forest workers find 7-inch oval footprints about one mile from the site. On October 18, three South African police officers and two trackers visit the encounter site and find a large area of depressed grass with 8 symmetrical marks around its perimeter and 4 marks within the oval area. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “South African CE III,” IUR 5, no. 1a \(January 1980\): 7 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5840 ### Event 41396 (411D46CC) **Date:** 10/2/1978 **Description:** At 11:15 a.m. four young boys in the Groendal Nature Reserve, Uitenhage, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa had been out hiking in an isolated area, and were now waiting to be picked up by their parents, when suddenly their attention was drawn to a glistening object in the distance. They next saw two men wearing shiny silvery outfits, standing just to the west of the object. The men were able to move across the difficult terrain in a gliding motion, and on on top of the hill they were joined by a third man that appeared to be carrying a small suitcase. The three men then glided towards a dividing fence and flew over it, and one stopped to look at the boys. The silver suit covered his forehead, so only his lower face was clear, but they could see he had gray skin. Finally, the men glided up a hill and seemed to disappear upon reaching the summit. During the incident the boys noticed a strange silence in the area and two of them felt disoriented. Possible ground traces were found on the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Cynthia Hind, MUFON UFO Journal, October 1978, p. 5; Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, January 1980, p. 7; David F.

I had just left my fiancée living in Mouzon, taking the departmental road CD 19, to return to my home in Beaumont, when I was at the place called "Le Fond de Limon" just before the exit of the wood, I saw with stupor on my right, a strange luminous thing. It looked like a kind of green cigar, but of a dazzling green, very dazzling. When I was close enough to the object, the engine and the lighting of my motorcycle suddenly stopped working and I was spontaneously plunged into darkness, except that I had the time to notice that the powerful light emitted by the object illuminated the ground and the landscape around. I tried in vain to engage several times taking advantage of my momentum, but the engine did not restart. The object was perfectly still and silent, suspended about 100 meters above the cornfield about 50 or 60 meters from the edge of the road. After moving slowly and parallel to the road, the craft suddenly launched into a turn and crossed the road barely 40 m in front of me, at a lightning speed, like a flash. When it had disappeared above the trees on my left, the engine and lighting of my motorcycle worked by themselves without any intervention on my part. I had not cut the contact during the observation.

The engine stalled and the vehicle was immobilized. There were strange lights in and out of his vehicle and at the windows he saw a humanoid creature. Some kind of chatter came out of a "pipe" he had in his mouth. After a few minutes this vision disappeared and the car was able to start again. (vog: this is the "reasonable" account) (Janet and Colin BORD: "Modern Mysteries of the World" - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 340, 341) Amamo had gone to the top of a hill to transmit radio messages without interference, leaving his two-year-old son asleep on the back seat. On returning to the car he found his little one surrounded by light with foam on his mouth. Getting into the driver's seat to look for help, he was unable to start. He then felt like a metal object being pressed against his forehead. And through the window he saw a strange creature with a round head, large pointed ears, big round blue eyes, the head resting on the neckless body. What was touching Amamo's forehead was a kind of tube coming out of the entity's mouth. For five minutes strange telepathic messages were passed through the tube directly into Amamo's memory. Later, under hypnosis, Amamo repeated them. Then the entity vanished on the spot, and everything returned to normal.

He then began walking and next heard a weak whistling sound. He started to feel nauseated with a metallic taste in his mouth, and his wristwatch felt hot to the touch. When he turned around, he saw in clearing a 5 meter metallic dome-shaped craft whose perimeter was which surrounded by small antennae like protrusions. Next to the object stood two very tall men, 1.90 meters in height, with blond hair wearing blue-gray outfits and wide belts. One was leaning over a metallic tube apparently stuck on the ground. The other carried a box with a small sphere on top. The one holding the tube motioned to the witness to approach. The man felt a wave of heat as he approached to within 20 meters, so he stopped and frightened, yelled at them. He heard his own voice in a strange, weirdly distorted manner. The two UFOnauts then walked back over to the object and got aboard. The whistling sound now intensified and the witness felt an electric shock on the back of his neck and strange vibrations on the ground. The craft lifted up and flew out of sight while the whistling sound increased. He managed to take a photograph of the object as it departed, and a hole was found in the ground at the scene. UFO investigators found the witness to be well qualified but uncooperative, seeking to avoid publicity. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Valentich had training in aviation and held qualifications for night flying. He reported to air traffic control that he was being followed by an unidentified aircraft with bright lights before losing all radio contact. Investigators speculated that spatial disorientation due to an illusion of the tilted horizon caused his disappearance. His case remains one of the notable unsolved mysteries involving UFOs and aviation. **Type:** ufo sighting **Type:** disappearance **Reference:** [Simple Flying](https://simpleflying.com/cessna-182-australia-disappearance-44-years/) **Reference:** [archive.ph](https://archive.ph/HuyK5) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_993 ### Event 41459 (81DF2C5C) **Date:** 10/21/1978 **Location:** AUSTRALIA, King Island, Bass Strait **Description:** (Translated from French) Valentich Incident. Late in the afternoon, Frederick Valentich took off from Melbourne in his "Cessna 182". He was headed for King Island. He was 20 years old and relatively inexperienced for a night flight. At around 7:06 PM, Frederick Valentich called Melbourne Flight Service (M.F.S.). The radio contact lasted 6 minutes before being dramatically interrupted. The conversation was completely recorded and widely reproduced in the Australian press: Frederick Valentich: It seems to be a large aircraft below 5000 feet... M.F.S.: What type of aircraft is it? F.V.: I can't confirm. It has four bright lights, which seem to be landing lights. The aircraft is just passing over me now. M.F.S.: Can you confirm that it is a large aircraft? F.V.: Affirmative. Given the speed it is flying, could it be a R.A.A.F. aircraft? (Royal Austrian Air Force). M.F.S.: Negative. Can you confirm that you cannot identify the aircraft? F.V.: Affirmative... (then three minutes later)... The aircraft! It's not an aircraft, it's... (transmission cut off) M.F.S.: Can you describe the aircraft? F.V.: It just passed over me. It has an elongated shape. I can't make out any more...it's coming straight towards me now...it seems to be stationary now...I'm orbiting it and it's orbiting me...it has a green light and a sort of metallic light outside... Wow! It's vanished!... Do you know what kind of aircraft I've observed? Is it a military aircraft? M.F.S.: There is no military activity in this area. F.V.: (7:12 PM) My engine is starting to run rough and cough. M.F.S.: What are you going to do? F.V.: I'm going to continue towards King Island...the unknown aircraft is still hovering above me... M.F.S.: Identify it!... (Then a long metallic sound is heard, for 17 seconds, and contact with Frederick Valentich's plane is definitively lost.) No trace, no debris of the aircraft were found. (CSISOP report; Charles GARREAU: "The Pilots Testify: UFOs are Among Us" Article in Historia No. 421 - Dec. 81 p. 105) Frederick Valentich, at the controls of his Cessna, radioed the presence of an "aircraft" above him, which then approached and circled around him. Valentich was unable to identify the object. His own engine began to show signs of failure. All contact was then lost with the aircraft and its pilot, of whom no trace was found.

He radios Melbourne air traffic control to report that an unidentified aircraft is following him at 4,500 feet. He is told there is no known traffic at that level. Valentich can see a large, unknown aircraft that appears to be illuminated by four bright landing lights. He is unable to confirm its type but says it has passed about 1,000 feet overhead and is moving at high speed. Then he says the aircraft is approaching him from the east, thinking that the other pilot might be purposely toying with him. The other aircraft is “orbiting” above him. It has a shiny metal surface and a green light on it. Then he begins experiencing engine problems. Asked to identify the aircraft, Valentich radios, “It’s not an aircraft.” His transmission is then interrupted by unidentified noise described as being “metallic, scraping sounds” before all contact is lost. A sea and air search is undertaken that includes oceangoing ship traffic, an RAAF Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft, plus eight civilian aircraft. The search encompasses more than 1,000 square miles. Search efforts cease on October 25 without result. A Department of Transport investigation into the disappearance is unable to determine the cause, but it is “presumed fatal” for Valentich. In 1983, an engine cowl flap is found washed ashore on Flinders Island. In July 1983, the Bureau of Air Safety Investigation asks the Royal Australian Navy Research Laboratory about the likelihood that the cowl flap might have traveled to its final position from the area where the aircraft disappeared. The bureau notes that “the part has been identified as having come from a Cessna 182 aircraft between a certain range of serial numbers.” which includes Valentich’s aircraft. At least 15 other UFOs are reported between midday and 9:00 p.m., six in Victoria, one on King Island, and others further away. Roy Manifold, vacationing at Crayfish Bay, Cape Otway, Victoria, inadvertently takes two photos of peculiar black objects just 20 minutes before Valentich reported his sighting. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Disappearance of Frederick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance%5Fof%5FFrederick%5FValentich) [Valentich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance%5Fof%5FFrederick%5FValentich)”; “Fred Valentich: The Missing Australian Pilot,” IUR 3, no. 12 \(December 1978\): 2–10; Bill Chalker, “[The Missing Cessna and the UFO,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201979%20V%2024%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 24, no. 5 \(March 1979\): 3–5; Bill Chalker, “[Vanished?

She sees a strange light hovering above the Fiddler’s Ferry Power Station. Her husband and two children also watch the UFO until it starts pulsating and moving away. Its glow is so bright that their eyes hurt in looking at it through binoculars. It vanishes, then reappears heading toward them at an angle. They can see it is a disc with a dome on top, tilted slightly toward them. As it passes over their heads, they hear a faint humming noise and can see three orange bumps in a triangular formation on its underside. It moves away to the northeast toward another power station. Total duration is 7 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, “Fake Photographs, Real Sightings,” IUR 11, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1986\): 10–11 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5859 ### Event 41503 (9715BEF3) **Date:** 10/29/1978 **Time:** 21:30 **Location:** HEATHCOTE-MENAI, NSW **Description:** Large saucer / portholes near Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) reactor. 2 beams going down.

All this occurred while a torrential rain was falling. The Jeep was hopelessly mired in the mud. As the three witnesses attempted to dislodge it a very large object emitting an intense rotating light suddenly appeared. The UFO flew over them at very low altitude and then descended to hover a few meters away from the witnesses. The light from the object was so bright that it temporarily blinded the three young people. The older man nearly fainted from fright.

Two bright rotating beams of light illuminated the area around them and the interior of the Jeep. They could also hear a steady droning noise coming from the object. After awhile they began to hear what seemed to be human voices coming from the object, but the voices spoke in an unknown language. The terrified witnesses began screaming for help because they began to feel a bizarre effect: all three felt as if they were "floating." They also described the feeling like "they were growing in size." Finally the UFO began to move away, throwing numerous rocks and debris up into the air. As it sped away from view a small spherical orange-yellow light followed the craft. The witnesses then felt their environment return to normal. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

After about 45 minutes of talk a boy named Will leapt to his feet and began slapping his head, saying that there was a bee in his hair. He looked absolutely terrified. A girl named Dorothy and another witness then saw a tall, thin figure wearing a hat, "dancing" behind him. Will said later that it was as if a terrifically loud buzzing was coming up through the top of his head. However, only one other person present, Rachel, heard any buzzing. Partially satisfied that they had stumbled on a bee's nest they moved a distance away. As they moved Dorothy and Will saw a ring outlined in the grass that enclosed where they had been sitting. Eventually it started to rain, so the group headed for Rachel's house. As they left one of the young men turned around and saw the same thin black figure walk across the opening between some trees to where they had been sitting.

Later, while sitting in Rachel's bedroom, one of the young men looked at Will and saw an amorphous black blob drop out of his hair onto the bed. He was the only one who saw this. A few seconds later a black shape started whizzing around the room. The main movement was from bottom left to top right and getting larger during its flight. This created a great fright among those present. Altogether four witnessed this strange phenomenon. Later on the girls slept in a room together, and Rachel and Dorothy again saw a black blob in the curtains during the night. Upon awakening, one of the young men saw the thin black figure silhouetted against some wardrobe doors. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It was quite cold that evening and there were few passers-by (...) I saw in the sky 400 m away from me an object bigger than a bowl. It was dragging three tails behind it, like a Chinese kite. It was flying slowly towards the west. In this huge object, I noticed something like a big electric bulb that was turning on and off alternately, throwing out a yellow light. The three tails were white and each measured about 3 m: they were waving in the air behind the main body in motion. At first I thought it was a real kite with a lantern, but in winter nobody practices this sport [note from vog: no exception to the rule, really?] (November 1978) **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials", ed.

The oil pumps stop functioning and only resume their normal activity when the UFO departs 7 minutes later. The witnesses estimate its volume to be larger than that of a jumbo jet, but the craft leaves no trace at the landing site. For the entire duration of the sighting, Kuwait's international telecommunications networks will have ceased to function.

They see a bright light in the sky that shoots out bright blue rays. It moves off behind a hill, and two small lights, one yellow, the other reddish, approach from the same hill. The witnesses run upstairs and watch from a window. The lights stop next to a road, the Avenida de los Martires, as a car comes along and illuminates them with its headlights. The women now see that the lights are attached to the abdomens of two flying entities, which appear to be cone-shaped, twice as tall as a normal-sized man, and wearing white translucent sheets. Three silhouettes cross the car’s headlights, and all the lights \(including the car’s\) go out. The witnesses hear a metallic noise like a garage door. Then the two lights turn on again and fly off. The power in the house returns. The episode lasts 45 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Foreign Forum,” IUR 4, no. 2 \(August 1979\): 2; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1978-11-20-dominican-losriosarroyohondo.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1978-11-20-dominican-losriosarroyohondo.htm) December 3, 2009 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5871 ### Event 41589 (492F7449) **Date:** 11/20/1978 **Description:** In 1978 at six o'clock in the evening GMT, a mushroom-shaped UFO, bigger than a double-decker bus, with a blue flashing light on top, hovered over a car near Rowlands Castle in Great Britain.

As she turns onto Main Street, her foot is flat on the accelerator but there is no sound from her engine and her car coasts to a halt. Her car lights fail as circles of light dance around the road, illuminating a nearby farmyard. The car restarts, but she only drives about 300 feet when it stops again. She claims the “natural light” disappears and she is enveloped in pure darkness. Then suddenly a white circle of light approximately 3 feet in diameter shines on the road, as if someone has pressed on a switch, the normal light returns, and she drives the car normally. She estimates she has about 15 minutes of missing time. Later, at 7:10 p.m., she feels a tightening sensation around her forehead, one that she remembers having felt just prior to the encounter. At 7:20 p.m., four young women driving through the nearby village of Preston Capes see red and green lights and beams shooting out from clouds as their car engine temporarily loses power. After trying hypnosis with minimal results, Oakensen tries creative visualization at the scene and recovers some abduction memories. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1978-11-22-uk-churchstowe.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1978-11-22-uk-churchstowe.htm) November 13, 2011; Jenny Randles, “Much More Than Marsh Gas,” Fortean Times 311 \(March 2014\): 27 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5873 ### Event 41602 (ABC8E112) **Date:** 11/22/1978 **Description:** A car was buzzed by a UFO in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia on this night, causing the car's speedometer needle to spin wildly and then break. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** MUFON UFO Journal, October 1982 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7808 ### Event 41603 (4B487673) **Date:** 11/22/1978 **Description:** In Cascas, Peru a multi-colored UFO appeared at a party honoring the Virgin of the Rosary.

One is about 4 feet tall, the other about 8 inches shorter. They are suspended in the air about a foot off the ground. They are extremely thin and have a yellowish skin that is stretched tightly over their bones. Their heads are bald, and at the sides are enormous ears that rise vertically and end in points. Their eyes are large and white, without eyelids. Their large noses extend down to the lower lip of a sizable mouth from which extend two tusks. They wear tight-fitting coveralls. The smaller one starts moving back and forth from right to left in very quick jerks. Its motion causes a stir in the air, and vegetation rustles as the tips of its ears touch the lower branches of nearby trees. Incomprehensible grumblings come from the mouth of the shorter entity. The taller being reaches one of its long hands to take away d’Ambros’s pruning knife. D’Ambros holds on to it tightly, but he feels a strong electric shock. He grabs a large branch and takes a swipe at them as they take flight. D’Ambros runs after them, and he watches them make for a domed UFO resting in a clearing 100 feet away on four landing pods. The entities climb aboard, and the object takes off horizontally at a dizzying speed in absolute silence and disappears behind high fir trees. The next day he returns to the clearing and finds a nearly circular area about 12 feet in diameter in which the grass appears black, pressed, and whirled in a counterclockwise direction. D’Ambros discovers two U-shaped traces about 8 inches long. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Two Humanoids in Gallio,” IUR 8, no. 3 \(May/June 1983\): 8–11; Antonio Chiumiento, “[Gallio: Faccia a faccia](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Italy/Notiziario%20UFO%20%28CUN%29/Notiziario%20UFO%20-%201980%2004-05%20-%20Vol%203%20No%204-5.pdf) [con due ufonauti,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Italy/Notiziario%20UFO%20%28CUN%29/Notiziario%20UFO%20-%201980%2004-05%20-%20Vol%203%20No%204-5.pdf)” Notiziario UFO 3, no. 4/5 \(April/May 1980\): 4–9; Antonio Chiumiento, “[Umanoidi a Gallio,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Italy/Notiziario%20UFO%20%28CUN%29/Notiziario%20UFO%20-%201981%2005-12%20-%20Vol%2016%20No%2099.pdf) [Seconda Parte,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Italy/Notiziario%20UFO%20%28CUN%29/Notiziario%20UFO%20-%201981%2005-12%20-%20Vol%2016%20No%2099.pdf)” Notiziario UFO 16, no. 99 \(May/Dec. 1981\): 16–19; 1Pinotti 241–250 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5874 ### Event 41617 (5A962748) **Date:** 11/24/1978 **Description:** Sr. Gordillo and three friends were out hunting in the pre-dawn hours around 3:30 a.m. in a wooded hilly region near the River Guadiamar in Gerena Guadiamar, Sevilla province, Spain when they all saw a red light on the ground in a nearby eucalyptus grove. They all carried bright lanterns and continued looking for game. They crossed the river, and temporarily forgot about the red light for a few minutes. They then noticed that the light was now in a nearby clearing in the woods. Two of the witnesses approached the area, while the others remained behind. The two men saw, partially hidden by some trees, a large bowl-shaped or jug-shaped craft with a red light on top and numerous multicolored lights on the front; it rested on two shiny silvery legs. Next to the object stood a tall, heavy set human-like figure, who appeared to be wearing a large round black helmet with a glass visor over the face. His clothing was silvery and he wore large boots. The being walked slowly back and forth in front of the object, at one point approaching the witnesses briefly. It made low humming noises. The men became frightened and left the area.

One was shorter than the other. They had yellowish skin, large smooth and bald elongated heads, long pointed noses and large mouths with two long pointed fangs. They were clad in dark, tight fitting coveralls that started below the knee and extended up to their necks. They also had huge hands and feet with extremely long fingers and nails. The shorter of the beings approached the witness and began making sudden "sliding" moves around him, never touching the ground. The witness screamed for help and asked who they were but they only answered him with mumbling sounds. The taller creature now approached and attempted to take the witness's pruning axe from him. After a brief struggle the creatures fled into the woods. The witness chased after them but lost sight of them. He then came upon a clearing where a solid, metallic disc-shaped craft with a dome on top rested on four legs. He saw a pair of long hands close a small trap door on the dome, then the disc took off silently and at high speed emitting a burst of red flame from its bottom. During the same time other independent witnesses had watched a similar object maneuvering over the area. Ground traces found in the area included a 12-foot wide burnt circle, with vegetation whirled counterclockwise, U-shaped imprints 20 cm long and 3 cm deep, and uprooted bushes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Antonio Chiumiento, International UFO Reporter, May 1983, p. 8; David F.

A metallic, ovoid UFO with a flashing red light hovered over a car with a German couple and a nineteen-year-old American woman named Owens. The car's occupants experienced over 90 minutes of missing time. The principal abductee, the wife of an American soldier stationed in Germany, was levitated aboard the UFO. She was five months pregnant at the time. She had no memory of the abduction prior to hypnosis. During hypnosis she recalled that the aliens had huge, baldheads, and deep-set eyes. They had a greenish colored skin, with a roughness like mummy wrapping. Their hands had four fingers, and were twice the length of human fingers. Dark triangular objects with pale yellow lights were seen over Heathrow Airport and in Ducklington, England that day and evening. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) Jane Thomas (translator), UFO Newspaper Clipping Service, April 1980, p. 14 citing The Independent, January 22, 1980; (2) UFO Newspaper Clipping Service, April 1979, p. 11, citing the London Sunday Express, January 11, 1979 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7914 ### Event 41627 (A928F54D) **Date:** 11/27/1978 **Time:** 18:30 **Locations:** Blue Diamond Road, Las Vegas, NV; Battle Mountain, NV; Red Rock Canyon, NV **Description:** A local resident, his family, and other residents report seeing a UFO to the *Las Vegas Sun*.

As the first time, his engine stopped, he lost consciousness and remembered nothing of what had happened when he regained his senses around 1am. Hypnotised again, Fortunato told the same story, that he had been abducted again in a flying saucer and that this time a dozen humanoids had subjected him to a complete medical examination. These beings of around 3 metres tall had a greenish skin covered in hair, yellow eyes very slanted, big red veins on the forehead, a very narrow mouth and hands like ours. He understood what they were saying to him, thanks to a helmet they had put on his head which hurt him a lot. When they let him go, he was able to witness the take-off of the huge craft, triangular in shape and white in colour. **Reference:** Maurice CHATELAIN: "The Messengers of the Cosmos" - Laffont 1980 - p. 201 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3028 ### Event 41655 (EB603CA0) **Date:** 12/1978 **Location:** TUSCANIA AREA, ITL **Description:** 2 / car / malfunctions due to EME (electro-magnetic effects).

In front of one of them, he noticed white lights arranged in a triangle and, thinking he had to do with thieves, he stopped, turned off the engine and decided to alert the central. It was then that he noticed that the radio did not work, while the headlights and the dashboard lights went out. He took a flashlight to go inspect the villa. He saw no one, only these three lights, and the silence was absolute. He shone the flashlight on the gate, which was open, as well as the front door of the villa. He turned off his light and drew his revolver. Suddenly the lights approached him, passed in front of him, disappeared behind the corner of the house. Wanting to take the thieves by surprise, he headed for the other corner, and then suddenly felt a strong push caused by a hand. He stumbled and fell onto the lawn. As he fell, the flashlight lit up, he grabbed it and shone it at waist height, but he saw only large horizontal pipes, one on top of the other... at 3 meters high he found the head, dark green, 60 cm wide, huge and luminous yellow triangular eyes, inclined upwards. On the forehead something undefined, luminous yellow, with large irregular wrinkles, on the side some kind of algal edges and in front something like ears or straight, pointed horns, turned upwards. Hardly had this quick inspection finished when the terrifying figure disappeared and the night guard fled, trying to reach the car. As he ran he heard a modulated whistle, very loud, unbearable and a strong wave of heat. He turned around as if to ward off the nightmare he was living, but what he saw terrified him even more. Against the background of the sky stood out a large flattened triangle, the base of which was hidden by an immense brightness, so blinding that he had to cover his face with his arms. This light zigzagged towards the sky. Zanfretta reached the vehicle and he fainted, for 50 minutes only waking up when colleagues arrived and found him 80 m from the car, his body and clothes burning. Traces on the ground. Under hypnosis Zanfretta revealed the other part of his contact with these horrible beings.

He gets out of his car holding his pistol and flashlight, moving cautiously along a house wall. Something pushes him forward and he falls. When he gets up, his head hits something and he points his flashlight upward to see a 6-foot-tall creature with an ugly face. Terrified, he runs to the car and is blinded by a yellow, triangle-shaped object taking off from behind the house. He calls for help on the radio. When his colleagues arrive at 1:00 a.m., they find him lying in a nearby lawn in a confused state of mind. On December 23, Zanfretta is hypnotized by a medical doctor. An abduction scenario emerges in which he is taken to a bright room by giant entities who put a hot and painful helmet on his head. The humanoids are green-skinned and have yellow triangular eyes, red veins on their heads, pointed ears, and rounded fingers. Further abductions and memories emerge over time, finally ceasing in 1980. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “UFO Flap 1978: Italian Style, Part Two, December,” IUR 4, no. 5 \(November 1979\): 13–15; Paolo Fiorino, Gian Paolo Grassino, and Antonio Chiumiento, “Abductions in Italy,” IUR 14, no. 4 \(July/Aug.1989\): 15–16; Rino Di Stefano, [The Zanfretta Case: Chronicle of an Incredible True Story](https://www.rinodistefano.com/en/books/the-zanfretta-case.php), The Author, 2014; Jason Charbonneau, “[Zanfretta Abductions, 1978–1981,](https://www.thinkanomalous.com/zanfretta-abductions.html)” Think Anomalous, May 6, 2017; 1Pinotti 253–258 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5880 ### Event 41698 (D81C9C89) **Date:** 12/6/1978 **Description:** In the isolated taiga in the Amur region of Siberia between the rivers Urkan and Tyndoy, a metallic UFO shaped like a mushroom was found on this day, apparently having crashed. Its diameter was about 5.5 to 6 meters and it was about 3.0 meters in height. It reportedly weighed 720 kg. It was transported to Novosibirsk, Russia where it was hidden in the Akademgorodok region. The body of a short dwarf-like humanoid was found inside, which was delivered for autopsy to the scientific research institute in Novosibirsk. When first discovered the humanoid allegedly still had shown vital signs, and it stayed in a coma-like state for two weeks before dying. A segmented aperture was found on the side of the disc where apparently other crewmembers had escaped out through an escape pod. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

She spied a strong orange light reflected from the glassware inside the house. She investigated and found that the source of the light was in a nearby field, but the light had gradually disappeared. Temporarily forgetting about the mystery light, Pilar began doing some housework, when a second more powerful orange flash of light again brought her attention outside. She saw a orange sphere object approaching from the sky at very high speed. Afraid, she ran and turned off all the lights in the house. Outside the object had now landed some 100 meters from the house. The craft was oval in shape appeared to balance itself just above the ground. Crouching behind her window she peered out and noticed a light like a flashlight that was being carried by two tall and very corpulent humanoid figures. Pilar noticed that the humanoids wore tight-fitting one-piece coveralls, very light in color. They had just appeared standing next to the landed object; they had not emerged from any opening, they had just sudden appeared. Both beings began approaching the house. For several minutes she watched them move around through partially opened blinds. Finally, she decided she would bathe and then go to bed. Later, feeling nervous, she got up from bed and looked again to see the object rise and emit a sharp whirring sound. It quickly disappeared from view. Investigators found unusual tracks at the landing site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He tried to radio his headquarters but the two-way radio would not work. Armed with a pistol and a flashlight he entered the courtyard to search the area. He was suddenly pushed from behind and fell. He got up and was confronted by a huge, three-meter tall reptilian "creature." The witness was by now terrified and he dropped his flashlight and ran towards the car. He then saw a bright yellow, triangular shaped craft take off from behind a house. He called for help and was later found unconscious at the site by the other guards. Later, under hypnosis, he recalled being taken into a very bright room by giant beings that put a painful helmet on his head. The beings were described as green skinned with yellow triangular eyes, red veins on their heads, and pointed ears. He suffered from persistent headaches after the event. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Luciano Boccone, UNICAT database, citing International UFO Reporter, November 1979, p. 13; David F.

He went out to investigate and noticed a luminous circular object approach from across the river. The object came closer and began to hover close to the ground near the power station. The guard could see a door and a small window on the UFO. The window opened and a human face looked out at the witness. The craft's door then opened and three tall men came out. These men wore shiny metallic blue coveralls and all had very long, smooth black hair. The beings approached the guard and spoke to him in an unintelligible language. He panicked and tried to fire a warning shot into the air with his revolver, but it jammed. One of the men then went inside the UFO and came back out holding a black box and handed it to one of the others. After that the witness was able to understand the beings and was told they were here on a "research and study mission." At one point one of the men started collecting stones from the ground and the witness protested. The men then put away the box and calmly walked back into their craft, which left silently and at high speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Dr. Walter Buhler, FSR, Vol. 25 # 3 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8244 ### Event 41703 (F4F3D47F) **Date:** 12/8/1978 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) Following the UFO lobbying efforts led by [Eric Gairy](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/GairyEric.html), the [UN](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/ONU.html) finally adopts a resolution \(in fact a statement of principle\) in which it commits to keeping informed about the UFO dossier and in which it encourages member states to coordinate, at the national level, scientific research and investigations into extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects, and to inform the Secretary-General of observed cases, research and evaluation of these activities.

It hovered over their car and paced it for several miles. The witnesses went to the police, who saw the object hovering over a hilltop. The object remained visible until broad daylight. At the same time, in Peage, France, a luminous UFO, about five meters in diameter and with an antenna, followed a man out walking at only 15 meters above the ground. Several others also saw it. At 7:20 a.m., a silver, triangular shaped object with yellow lights swooped down over a car in Comner, England, causing the two occupants to panic and the driver to swerve off the road. They described the craft as bigger than a "Hercules" C-5A military transport plane. It was totally silent, and flew off to the east. Later that evening two reporters in Fontanales on the Grand Canary Islands saw three UFOs at a high altitude. They gave off white, yellow, blue and red flashes of light, and were seen for several hours. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) Cronica, December 12, 1978; Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, March 1979, p. 13; (2) Lumieres dans la Nuit, January 1979; (3) UFO Newsclipping Service, March 1979, p. 13; (4) D.

She saw a UFO and stopped her car to observe. The saucer came at a frightening speed, then stopped 70 m above the trees. A green beam came out of it and she felt paralyzed at the same time she had the sensation of a telepathic contact: she should not fear, they were friendly, they were from a binary system (two suns) and claimed that humans and them had the same origins on the planet Phaeton (5 planets) of which all the resident inhabitants perished in a chain atomic explosion. The survivors are on Mars. After this message, Mrs. Holzer's car key remained bent, as a souvenir. **Reference:** Mitarbeiter, "Ufo Geheimnisse", Berlin, January 1998 **Reference:** in Greek mythology Phaeton is the son of the sun god Helios, travelling in a chariot so badly made that it set the Earth on fire... **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3026 ### Event 41730 (F59B17A1) **Date:** 12/12/1978 **Location:** MESSINA, ITL **Description:** Brilliant yellow circular object going south over sea.

More puzzled than afraid, she pulled off to the side of the road, and saw a "row of shining green ports along its periphery." Then, she thought to herself, "If I could only see its bottom," and it suddenly turned exposing the underneath. She said there were three spheres on its bottom surface, the middle one being larger. It possessed a bright orange spot at its center. As the UFO hovered over some nearby trees, six beams of green light shot from it and she felt slightly paralyzed by one of them. She lost track of time as the object hovered over her. When the light beams went out the object rose silently up into the sky. Her watch had stopped at 08:01 a.m. and her car's ignition key, that she believed had been in her hand the entire time, was bent. She later told investigators she felt "somebody was trying to get into telepathic contact with her." She claimed to have been given a message saying that they had friendly intentions and wanted to stop us from destroying the Earth. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Also, 196 other documents originating from other agencies are forwarded to them for response to GSW. The CIA had faced a deadline of December 1977 to produce the documents but were granted an extension by US District Court Judge [John H.

The first three occurred in Italy. At four o'clock in the morning a four-meter wide cone-shaped object was seen hovering only three meters from the ground in Rome. It had a row of illuminated portholes, and three beams of light came from its bottom. At 4:30 in the afternoon in San Vito del Normanni, Italy a witness reported seeing flying spheres in the sky for 15 minutes; one of the objects descended to the ground. An hour and ten minutes later, a red dome-shaped object was sighted on the ground in Mogoro, Italy. The object was bright enough to illuminate the clouds and the surrounding area, and it produced a smoke that didn't dissipate with the wind. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Xenolog, March 1979, p. 22; Lumieres dans la Nuit, numbers 214 and 240 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8395 ### Event 41761 (7BB064F3) **Date:** 12/14/1978 **Description:** That same pre-dawn night in New England a Dublin, New Hampshire resident driving in Hancock saw a green, cigar-shaped object traveling at high speed at treetop level flying toward the east, from the area of Highway 101 toward Hancock. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UFO Newsclipping Service, February 1979, p. 3 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8396 ### Event 41762 (1E58C93D) **Date:** 12/14/1978 **Description:** In Brewer, Maine a local resident named John felt an overwhelming compulsion to go out. He got dressed, got in his car, and drove away leaving his young daughter alone at home at 1:30 a.m. John drove in a daze along Route 9E, a very desolate stretch of road. All of a sudden his car's motor went completely dead and he coasted to a stop. His battery wasn't dead because his headlights remained on. He tried unsuccessfully to re-start the car. He then heard a very loud crackling noise. He turned to his right and slightly ahead of his car was a huge, long dark rectangular object, about 50 feet from the road. It was hovering 30 feet above the ground. As soon as John saw it a rectangular portion on the front end lit up and shone a soft green light through his front windshield. John felt a strange tingling sensation, like "pins & needles." He also felt himself sink into a trance. He remained fully aware but could not move a muscle. Strangely, his initial fear upon sighting the huge object had disappeared, and he now felt calm and unafraid. The soft green light abruptly changed color to a reddish pink and began pulsating first slowly, then faster and faster. He then heard a voice say: "Do not be afraid. We will not harm you. We are from the 17th star." The lights then slowed down and John heard the voice say, "We will return." He felt a strong conviction that this statement was true. The lighted rectangle suddenly blinked off, and John heard a strange clicking sound again. The UFO then backed away and rose at an angle. On his way home he felt very cold. The next morning he noticed his skin peeling around his nose, forehead, and from the back of his ears. He suffered severe headaches after the incident. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

At 5:30 p.m. two 12-year-old girls in Park Ridge who were tobogganing in the city park saw a saucer-shaped object with a row of flashing red lights on the top and bottom and flashing yellow lights in between. It had 3 balls on the bottom. It hovered for 20 minutes, and then made a semi-circle in the sky before leaving. On Highway 116 in London Mills at 7:00 p.m. a tubular-shaped craft hovered and circled a car being driven by two teenage girls. The craft circled the car "close enough to have touched it." It had two parallel tubes and one perpendicular tube but no windows. It took off fast toward the east. The father of one of the girls, Ralph Brashear, reported the incident to the police. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** George Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, pp. 543 & 549; Park Ridge (IL) Herald, December 21, 1978; London Mills (IL) Times, December 21, 1978 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8398 ### Event 41764 (73AC3F66) **Date:** 12/14/1978 **Description:** In Sarandi del Yi, Uruguay, a UFO with bright red lights suddenly appeared and started to circle the car driven by Mr. La Bandera and his two passengers.

A bright beam of light shot out of the opening and a strange, 1.5 meter tall “monster” descended within the beam. The being was described as "ugly" with two large eyes and two antenna-like protrusions on its head. A second similar being reportedly descended carrying a "laser" type gun and shot at a rock causing it to burn and explode. He was seen to bend down, touch the ground, and then spill a black liquid on it. Moments later a beam of light transported the beings back into the craft. The craft then shot away at high speed. Ground traces were reportedly found. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Maurizio Verga, ITACAT - Italian UFO Catalogue **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8419 ### Event 41774 (DFB7B376) **Date:** 12/15/1978 **Description:** At 5:45 p.m. a luminous orange sphere, about two meters in diameter, passed low over houses in a residential area of Macomer, Italy on the island of Sardinia.

As they near Christchurch Airport, Powell and his copilot Ian Pirie notice a return on their onboard radar. By the next sweep it has moved one mile closer, moving at about 8,000 mph. They cannot confirm anything visually, but the radar indicates the object has streaked off to the left and disappears. Then Powell and Pirie see a flashing light in front of them. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “The New Zealand UFO Films, Part I,” IUR 4, no. 1 \(July 1979\): 3–4; Clark III 799 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5888 ### Event 41831 (66569E50) **Date:** 12/21/1978 **Description:** In 1978 there were a series of UFO reports from throughout Argentina.

Dr. Palumbo, the director of the meteorological institute at the University of Naples in Naples, Italy saw a luminous object travel from the east to the west at a high rate of speed. It left no trail behind. At ten o’clock in the evening a luminous 12-meter diameter disc was sighted over a road in Albinia, Tuscany, Italy. It moved off over some woods, and then turned and flew away toward the north. There was extensive news coverage of both sighting reports. In the state of Maldonado, Uruguay on a beach between the cities of Piriapolis and Funta del Este a reporter, Sr. L. Rengger, saw a giant V-shaped formation of yellow lights. A couple of the lights pursued his car, and one of the two crossed the road in front of his car at an estimated 300 meters altitude at a distance of 500 meters. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, February 1979, p. 14, citing La Nacion December 24, 1978; (2) Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 216; (3) Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, April 1979, p. 13, citing La Razon, December 27, 1978 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8570 ### Event 41837 (F137189E) **Date:** 12/24/1978 **Time:** 06:50 **Location:** PIETRACAMELA, ITL **Description:** Power station and phones electro-magnetic effect (EME).

The working generator’s dial hands register an overload on the network, and the dial hands on the disconnected generator are also waving. This continues for about one minute, leaving the dials badly out of calibration. Franchi feels paralyzed and falls to the ground. Suddenly everything stops, and out of the window he sees three or four bright flashes coming from a ball of brilliant red light that hurts his eyes. The object takes off and disappears to the southwest. Franchi suffers from severe conjunctivitis, and the generator dials must be calibrated again. Shortly afterward, a large luminous UFO is seen hovering above the Gran Sasso massif to the southwest. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** 1Pinotti 259 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5890 ### Event 41839 (482E9995) **Date:** Late 12/1978 **Location:** TIBET, Qinghai Plateau **Description:** (Translated from French) One evening, around 9 o'clock, a worker came out of the tent, saw a phenomenon he had never seen before and shouted (...)

They were not disappointed, they were able to film a magnificent one in front of them, without realizing that they had a similar one behind them, which was signaled to them by the ground radar operator. The photos of the film were so perfect that they were immediately declared false by the official scientists who examined them. (...)

They are also detected by radar. The same night, during the return flight, a white light remains first fixed before accompanying the plane and then disappearing. It is filmed for several minutes and spotted by several radars. Other witnesses come forward in the region. (Science et Vie, special edition: 50 years of UFO, Atlas of Unsolved Cases, p. 60 to 63) Microscopic examination of the film shows a humanoid resembling a human fetus leaving the craft.

Other witnesses will manifest in the region. The film will generate huge media interest, as indicated by the following press release: The world's attention turned to the sky above Kaikoura after a film of the sightings was broadcast by American, British and Australian television. This sparked an international debate about the possible explanations of the large bright white ball captured on film. Captain Verne Powell, one of the first to see the UFO, said he watched, amazed, as the object crossed 24 km of sky in 5 seconds. He was annoyed that it was suggested he might have mistaken [Venus](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/Venus.html) for a UFO. A pilot since 1944, Powell declared: "I can still recognize [Venus](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/Venus.html)."

William Startup and First Officer Robert Guard. While flying from Wellington to Christchurch, New Zealand, with David Crockett and his wife Ngaire as camera crew over the Cook Strait near the site of the Powell sighting, Startup and Guard see 6–7 bright, pulsating lights like Chinese lanterns above the sea off Kaikoura. They fade and disappear, then return to view. Crockett starts filming. Wellington is tracking a target a mile behind the aircraft that stays on the screen for about one minute without moving. Another, stronger target appears to the right of the plane. Fogarty manages to crack, “Let’s hope they’re friendly!” Twice, Startup vainly attempts a 360° turn to get a glimpse of the object. After landing at Christchurch, Startup invites the passengers to accompany him back to Blenheim. Fogarty, Crockett, and another journalist, Dennis Grant, agree to do so. The plane flies out at 2:15 a.m., and within 2 minutes aircraft radar picks up a target 37 miles away. Startup turns toward it, but it moves to the right and vanishes almost immediately. Other radars pick up targets intermittently. The object returns in view of the plane, moving toward it, then drops out of sight to the right. Afterward, Fogarty notices a strange light that seems to be coming from the cargo hold. Two pulsating white lights soon appear on the port side of the plane. One settles into a rolling, turning pattern and falls at an incredible speed. This sequence Crockett captures on film.

It was somewhat cone shaped, and was not a Japanese shrimp fishing boat, as claimed by debunkers. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** International UFO Reporter, July 1979, p. 6; APRO Bulletin, May 1980, p. 2 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8672 ### Event 41898 (97E33793) **Date:** 12/31/1978 **Description:** There were several other UFO reports from around the world on this day, from Brazil, England, Scotland, Italy, Switzerland, and Florida. In Mirrasol, Sao Paulo State, Brazil a man was walking home around 11:00 p.m. when he heard a noise and noticed a light approaching from behind while crossing the street. He stepped aside, thinking that it was a car, but he then realized that it was a huge yellowish light that was attached to the bottom of a large flying object. He was suddenly struck by a beam of light and lost consciousness. Later, he found himself inside the object, next to a corridor. He next noticed three short humanoid creatures who spoke among themselves in a strange incomprehensible language. The beings wore helmets and coveralls and their faces were covered in a green light. Their eyes resembled two simple holes, lacking eyelids or eyebrows. He apparently then blacked out again, and arrived home at 3:30 a.m. without any further recollection of the event. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Walter K.

It had dark triangular spots that moved back and forth on the surface of the object. In Bayford, England Mr. and Mrs. Mason sighted a cigar-shaped object at 7:00 p.m. moving silently through the sky from the west to the east. The UFO had a long body with lots of tiny lights. Before losing sight of it two strong lights came on, one in the middle and one at the end. At the same time a silver triangle crossed the sky from west to east in Carlisle, England in Cumbria. Two minutes later a triangle with a grayish hue crossed the sky from west to east in Edinborough, Scotland, and three minutes after that another huge triangle was seen flying in the same direction over Hull, England. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Maurizio Verga, ITACAT Italian UFO Catalogue; UFO Newsclipping Service, February 1979, p. 13 citing the Hertfordshire Mercury, December 31, 1978; D.

Mr. Betancourt, age 37, described the UFO as being between 40-50 feet in diameter and having no visible engine or wings, and making no noise. It hovered over a neighbor’s backyard for about 30 seconds before flying off. At 10:00 p.m. European time in Zermatt, Switzerland two people witnessed a luminous round object over the alpine glacier, brightly illuminating the ice. Later that night, at 2:30 a.m. the next morning, a big electrical power outage occurred in the city. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Dade News-Leader, January 3, 1979; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 13046 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8675 --- ## Year: 1979, 913 Event(s), (Back to Top) ### Event 41901 (BCF2DEF9) **Date:** 1979 **Location:** Albuquerque, NM **Description:** Ufologist Paul Bennewitz, President and owner of Thunder Scientific Company in Albuquerque, NM, lives next to the Manzano Weapons Storage Area, near Sandia Base.

Mills III is with a second lieutenant conducting a below-ground azimuth alignment procedure at the Ellsworth AFB Delta-3 missile site southwest of Cottonwood, South Dakota, when the security guard bangs on the ladder and tells them to come up. Going topside, they hear a loud, low-frequency hum permeating the launch facility. The guard leads them out of the gate where they see a dark object with straight edges in the sky. It seems to be shaped like a parallelogram, but they can’t tell how high it is. The guard is upset, but the other two men are oddly calm, even though they are not supposed to be outside the gate, and they return to the missile and descend the ladder to continue the alignment. Then the lights go off, the truck engine stops running, the radio goes out, and the missile site goes off alert. The hum is gone, but they can still see the dark object. Some 10 minutes later the lights come back on and they notice the object is gone. Targeting teams from two other launch sites report similar experiences. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nukes 377–387 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5903 ### Event 41931 (FADB737C) **Date:** 1/2/1979 **Description:** Mr. L. M. went to open a window inside his house in Nuoro on the island of Sardinia, Italy because of the intense humidity when he noticed two short human like figures "floating" ten meters above the ground outside the building. Startled, he watched the two figures from his balcony. The two humanoids wore transparent coveralls, like plexiglass, and under that gray metallic outfits that emitted a bluish glow. They wore white-colored helmets on their heads with clear visors. He could see that their faces were normal; very handsome with large eyes. They also wore white tight-fitting boots and had a dark cylinder shaped "container" around their waists. During the encounter the witness felt chills. As the beings approached the house they smiled at the witness and were soon lost from sight in the distance. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The engine and lighting failed. The men got out and opened the hood. Red and violent flashes of light reflected off the bodywork. A loud buzzing came from the sky and Cardenas felt himself becoming numb. He could no longer move. Soon his feet were no longer on the ground and his body began to lift into the air. He felt himself leaving the ground and screamed: "Don't take me, don't take me!" His friend, Fernando Marti, watched this incredible ascension. In the sky a large luminous craft passed and disappeared. Cardenas regained consciousness in the middle of a road where he almost got run over, 26 km away. Marti swore under oath that he had seen Cardenas rise into the air. Under hypnosis Cardenas recounted that an alien was trying to speak to him in German, English, and then Spanish. To change languages this ET turned a knob on his chest! He underwent a thorough physical examination which left 108 marks on his body. Afterwards the UFO plunged into the water at high speed and Cardenas was taken to an underwater base where humans were working with the aliens. The different alien races wore costumes from different eras with capes and large chains. He saw the "throne" of their leader. Afterwards, in other encounters, Cardenas established a friendly relationship with the UFO occupants. He voluntarily got into a UFO with his wife Iris. Today he refuses to talk about his experience and has become very religious. **Reference:** Marie-Thérèse de BROSSES: "Enquête sur les enlèvements E.T." - Plon 1995, p. 279, 280 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3032 ### Event 41933 (D751818E) **Date:** 1/3/1979 **Location:** SOUTH AFRICA, Mindalore, Krugersdorp (Transvaal) **Description:** (Translated from French) Meagan Quezet and her son Andre saw a UFO land; 5 or 6 entities exited, speaking to each other in an incomprehensible language. (Janet and Colin BORD: "Modern Mysteries of the World" - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 351) A UFO landed near her house and out came half a dozen small black men. It was around midnight, she had just taken her son Andre, 12, for a ride, as the boy could not sleep. They saw a red light coming from the sky. And suddenly, they were less than 40 meters away from the craft that had landed on the road and close to 5 or 6 small black-skinned men. One of them had a beard and seemed to be the leader. "I said 'hello' to him," said Andre, "but I didn't understand what he answered me. I ran to get my father." At that moment the entities jumped up, about 1.5 meters, and disappeared through a door in the craft. This door slid shut, and the landing feet, long metal tubes, extended. The craft disappeared into the air accompanied by a faint buzzing. On either side of the door the craft had bright pink lights. The entities wore white or slightly pink uniforms and white helmets. **Reference:** Roger BOAR and Nigel BLUNDEL: "The World's greatest Ufo Mysteries" ed.

They got into their car and drove closer to get a better look. As they approached they perceived a strong burning smell, an odor like burnt human hair. The light resembled a pulsating vertical bar, red in color encircled by a round halo. As they got even closer they saw a human like figure walk in front of the light, and moments later a second figure walked from the opposite direction. As a result of the intense cold the witnesses had to leave the area. As they drove away they observed a similar but larger light on the ground in front of a nearby orchard. The light slowly pulsated. Again the witnesses had to leave because of the cold weather. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The first occurred in Mindalore, South Africa. A man and a woman were driving in foggy conditions near a mine at 11:50 p.m. They saw a gray cone-shaped craft with four legs that had landed, and then experienced a 20-minute lapse of time, but they did recall witnessing humanoids associated with the craft. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Cynthia Hind, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1979, p. 3 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_64 ### Event 41944 (FD42AA65) **Date:** 1/3/1979 **Description:** The second experience also occurred while driving. Mr. Filiberto Cardenas, age 45, was driving on Okeechobee Road just north of Miami, Florida with three family friends when the car engine suddenly failed. He and another man got out of the car to check under the hood when a large luminous object emitting a humming sound descended over the vehicle. The witness vanished in plain sight of the others, apparently taken up into the object by a beam of light.

He was found dazed two hours later and 16 miles away from the original location by a police officer. Later he recalled being taken up and blacking out. He found himself onboard the object and three human-like beings all dressed in tight-fitting white suits took him to an ocean front setting where they opened a "lock" on a rock and entered through a tunnel beneath the sea. The beings were of average height, wearing outfits that covered their heads with winged snake-like emblems on their chests.

They spoke to the witness in Spanish and mainly spoke about coming wars and disasters. He was led to a seat made out of stone and given a liquid to drink that tasted like honey. A huge door then opened in front of him and several persons came out. Cardenas began feeling a strong pressure in his chest and at this point an individual approached him and told him he was welcomed. The individual appeared totally human and spoke with a South American accent. Indeed this man told Cardenas that he was from earth but had lived with extraterrestrials for a while now. He was then taken through a corridor into what appeared to be a great city. He then entered a small room where he was suddenly sucked into the wall, which then flipped over and became a bed. Paralyzed, he was unable to move and noticed several figures moving around him. As a light blinded him something was inserted into his ear. From the wall there emerged what looked like several arms ending in suction cups that covered his body. He felt no pain but could not move.

After the examination he was taken to another room. There he saw a tall seat and on it was a tall man wearing a cape; he also saw numerous consoles and monitors. He was shown images of three pyramids joined by a thin ray of light. Cardenas apparently slept several times and was awakened and given several tablets to eat. In another room he saw several human like figures wearing gray coveralls. In another room he saw a large gathering of people in what he thought was a "party".

Soon he was taken into another room where he saw a large rocket-style ship in which he was taken along with three other humans. He was made to sit on a suction-like seat. After a short trip he was made to exit and given something to eat. He last saw the object disappear into the distance. He was found disoriented by a police officer in an isolated section of the city. A medical exam found 108 tiny pricks on his body. Days after the encounter he suffered from severe sweating, extreme thirst, extreme temperature changes, and a strong sulfur like smell followed him, he also suffered from memory loss, decreased sexual appetite and strange time altering episodes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Miami Herald, January 5, 1979; Thomas E.

Meagen Quezet and her son André go looking for their dog that has just run barking away from their home in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, South Africa. Driving along a remote country road, they find the dog standing 60 feet away from a lead-colored, egg-shaped object with landing gear. Five or six dark- skinned entities are standing in front, wearing white or pink suits and shoes. One with a beard bows to Quezet and says something unintelligible. André runs to get his father, whereupon the beings enter the craft, which takes off making a purring sound. Quezet undergoes hypnotic regression by [Bernard Levinson](https://birthpsychology.com/person/bernard-levinson) on June 21, where she remembers the “leader” cajoling her to come on board, which she does with her son, seeing lights, panels, chairs, and a table. They jump out again, protesting that they can’t go. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Another South African CE III,” IUR 5, no. 1a \(January 1980\): 7–8 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5905 ### Event 41947 (01D78728) **Date:** 1/4/1979 **Description:** A group of four farmers saw a small glittering sphere float about in the sky over Jitra, Malaysia at 6:45 a.m. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ahmad Jamaludin, Summary of Unidentified Flying Objects and Related Events in Malaysia, p. 86 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_94 ### Event 41948 (A26E7C0E) **Date:** 1/4/1979 **Description:** That same morning at around seven a.m. in Rowley Regis in the West Midlands, England, Mrs. Jean Hingley had waved goodbye to her husband on a bitter cold morning when she saw a light in the garden. Thinking he had left the light on she went to investigate, but it was turned off so she returned to the kitchen. She put down some food for the family Alsatian dog and called him from the garden, but he flopped down as if drugged and gazed at the ceiling, glassy-eyed. Then, with a "zee---zee-zee" noise, three weird creatures flew past her into her lounge. They were only one meter tall and had waxy white faces, coal-black eyes with no eyebrows, and very thin mouths. They wore silvery clothes with transparent fishbowl-type helmets over their heads. These humanoids also had transparent “wings” or wing attachments. Jean clung to her sink paralyzed but then, she says, she also suddenly floated towards the lounge.

Jean noticed that the aliens were inspecting the ornaments on the Christmas tree with interest. They also probed into her mind with telepathy—“It was like a light or an X-ray penetrating.” They told her she would not be harmed and, when she asked where they were from, one said, “We come from the sky.” When she explained the house was decorated to celebrate Jesus’s birthday, they claimed “We know all about Jesus.”

They said they would return. “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 as if in terror, taking a mince pie each 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. The electric clock in the house had stopped, and all her cassette tapes were magnetized and unplayable. In the snow where the object had sat was an oval outline, which the local UFO group was able to photograph before the snow melted. She also suffered from a case of conjunctivitis as a result of her close encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Alfred Budden, Fortean Times, June 1988, p. 40; Jenny Randles, Abduction; Patrick Huyghe, Field Guide to Extraterrestrials, p. 92; Albert S.

As she rounds a corner, she sees them hovering above the road directly in front of her. The radio goes dead, the car slows to a stop \(although the engine continues to run\), and she feels completely paralyzed. The closest object is only 30 feet away. She feels heat on her face and smells an unpleasant odor. When another car approaches, the three objects shoot straight up, one at a time, and everything returns to normal. When she returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts, she notices her face is reddened. She develops a rash and peeling skin the next day. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Richard H.

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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Xenolog, March 1979, p. 19 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_140 ### Event 41956 (6C182F31) **Date:** 1/5/1979 **Description:** 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."

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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) Raymond Fowler, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1979, p. 8; (2) Ann Druffel, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1979, p. 17; David F.

Looking around, he saw a rectangular silvery object, five feet tall by two feet wide and three feet long, hovering a few inches above the schoolyard ground. Two flaps opened on the sides of the object and two little men emerged and descended. Each was about three feet tall and dressed in shiny aluminum colored one-piece coveralls, and their hands had only four fingers. Both wore helmets with dark faceplates that covered the eyes. They each had a device with a tube and clock-like instrument attached. They entered the school and one being grabbed the boy. A voice coming from the object spoke to him in Spanish telling him to sit down. Once seated the boy was paralyzed and unable to move from the chair, while one of the beings went into another room and the other went back inside the object. A reddish beam of light from the object knocked the witness out. When he woke up later the object and beings were gone, but a strong sulphurous odor remained behind. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, April 1979, p. 15; citing Cronica, Jan. 16, 1979; FSR, July 1979, p. 21; Thomas E Bullard, UFO Abductions, The Measure of A Mystery, case 53; Albert S.

It forbids anyone from having any contact with UFOs or extraterrestrials, under penalty of a $5000 fine and a one-year prison sentence. An employee of the [NASA](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/NASA.html) is entitled to decide, after hearing the witness or not, if he has truly been exposed to an extraterrestrial entity or not, and to place him under quarantine for any period of time. Such a decision cannot be subject to any appeal, even by a competent court, so that this law is in total disagreement with the American Constitution. This law also equates to a criminal any person having close contact with extraterrestrials. This law is described in Section 1211, Title 14 of the Federal Regulations Code. **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1979.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2846 ### Event 41995 (ABF75905) **Date:** 1/14/1979 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) In the United States, a young college student observes two objects with a pulsing violet projector emitting a diffuse light. Later, the young man, troubled, consults a doctor. The doctor notes the presence of a strange red diamond-shaped mark on his chest. This mark will take months to disappear. **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1979.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2847 ### Event 41996 (66F0658A) **Date:** 1/14/1979 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) In the [Rendlesham](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/Bentwaters.html) forest \(UK\), the attention of 3 people was drawn to unusual lights near an American military base. Many other witnesses swear they saw a spacecraft above the area. The investigation, which is not made any easier by contradictory testimonies, is stopped by the application of the law protecting state secrets in Great Britain. An American senator then takes a close interest in the case but suddenly interrupts his research. He has since always refused to communicate the content of his discoveries to ufologists. **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1979.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2848 ### Event 41997 (A4F053C9) **Date:** 1/14/1979 **Description:** \(Translated from French\) The Cosmic Studies Institute and the Academy of Sciences of the USSR publish a [statistical](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/Statistiques.html) analysis of 256 observations of anomalous atmospheric phenomena, of which 13 were in flight and 1 at sea. Of these observations, 12 were made at less than 100 m distance, 1 with a telescope, 2 with radar, one of which coupled with optical observation, all accompanied by 50 drawings and 3 photographs. In 64% of the cases, several witnesses were present and 15% were mass observations. Finally, 11% of these were made by observation stations and 5% by military personnel on operations. All categories of witnesses are represented, including 33% scientists. Among these are 10 astronomers, 6 meteorologists, 6 geophysicists but also 23 engineers and 14 aviators. In this survey, astronomers \(7.5%\) see 7500 times more UFOs than the general population. Of the 256 cases, 194 were observed in 1967. All the classic shapes were seen, however with a predominance of crescent shapes. In 94 cases there were more than one object, and in the majority they were silent. In 101 cases the luminosity was intense, even blinding in 9 cases. The most frequently observed color is orange. The estimated speed ranges from 18 to 187000 km/h, at an altitude ranging from 35 m to 100 km. **Reference:** Guindilis, Menkov, Pétroskaïa, Observations of anomalous atmospheric phenomena in the USSR **Reference:** [GEPAN](https://web.archive.org/web/2005/http://rr0.org/GEPAN.html), Information Note No. 1, 50, 2:1980 **Reference:** [rr0 - Beau](https://web.archive.org/web/20040704025950/http://www.rr0.org/1979.html) **Source:** rr0, **ID:** rr0_2849 ### Event 41998 (B4E06022) **Date:** 1/14/1979 **Time:** 19:00 **Location:** ANTIBES, FR **Description:** 3 orange disks going northwest / 250M altitude / triangle formation.

[Lord Rankeillour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron%5FRankeillour) states emphatically that UFOs exist, and they might be dangerous. [Lord Gainford](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph%5FPease%2C%5F3rd%5FBaron%5FGainford) relates a personal sighting of a nocturnal light over Argyll, Scotland, the previous December 31. The [Earl of Halsbury](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony%5FGiffard%2C%5F3rd%5FEarl%5Fof%5FHalsbury) provides a list of natural causes for UFOs, and [Lord Hewlett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%5FHewlett%2C%5FBaron%5FHewlett) paraphrases debunking arguments. The [Earl of Cork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl%5Fof%5FCork) [and Orrery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl%5Fof%5FCork) lashes out at Trefgarne’s skepticism. [Lord Strabolgi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David%5FMontague%5Fde%5FBurgh%5FKenworthy%2C%5F11th%5FBaron%5FStrabolgi) firmly rejects the request for an official investigation on the grounds that all UFO reports can be explained conventionally. Clancarty winds it up by saying, “Nothing is impossible in this world or this universe. It is just that the seemingly impossible takes a little time to come about.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Unidentified Flying Objects,](https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/lords/1979/jan/18/unidentified-flying-objects)” Hansard Lords Debate, vol. 397, cc1246–1316, January 18, 1979; Allan Hendry, \[House of Lords UFO Debate\], IUR 4, no. 2 \(August 1979\): 9–11; Good Above, [pp. 73–75](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/72/mode/2up); UFOFiles2, [pp. 99–104](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n163/mode/2up); Clark III 616–618 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5909 ### Event 42017 (10F8F535) **Date:** 1/18/1979 **Location:** Lusiana, Vicenza, Italy **Description:** 11:30 p.m. A car driven by a 42-year-old woodcutter stops abruptly in Lusiana, Vicenza, Italy. Its lights go out and the doors open by themselves. An orange ball is sitting in the road ahead, and two 3-foot-tall, copper- colored humanoids emerge from a door. They are wearing metallic-looking, scaled coveralls. Their hands are long and end in pointed nails. They invite him on board by gestures and he follows them into a small room with electronic-looking gadgets and a screen. They begin undressing him, but he resists. The wall opens and an overall garment is shown to him. He refuses to wear it and he implores them to let him go. One of the beings gives him a small box with writing on it. A door opens and the man leaves. Suddenly the orange light disappears and his car lights come on again. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Paolo Fiorino, Gian Paolo Grassino, and Antonio Chiumiento, “Abductions in Italy,” IUR 14, no. 4 \(July/Aug. 1989\): 14 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5910 ### Event 42018 (9CF10295) **Date:** 1/18/1979 **Description:** A two-meter wide orange disc-shaped UFO mades two passes over two witnesses in Metzeral, France at five p.m..

As he looked under the hood he noticed two figures looking at him from behind a nearby electrical pylon on the side of the road. At first he thought they were electrical company workers and did not pay them any attention. But he soon looked back at the two figures more closely and noticed that one was about 2.50 meters in height and massive in appearance, while the other figure was somewhat shorter. Both wore shiny tight-fitting outfits. The figures stared at him for a few minutes and then walked back into the woods. Soon after his encounter with these two strange beings he was able to start his engine. That same evening another witness saw a bright bluish light descend into the same woods. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It is hanging in the air behind their dog kennel. When the woman goes out to investigate, two more lights appear and enter the original one. Then that light disappears and is replaced by red and green lights that resolve into a large number of lights of both colors on an object. As she approaches, the UFO begins to move toward her and passes overhead. It is as big as a jetliner, with bolts on its base as large as volleyballs. Her dog begins whining and cowering, and she gets a severe pain in her head that causes her to fall on her knees. As the object moves away with a soft whirring noise, she gets back on her feet. She estimates she was only outside for 5 minutes, but she and her aunt cannot account for an additional 45–50 minutes. Her headache persists for several weeks. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Michael D.

Helicopters without any identifying numbers are seen in the area of these mutilations. Valdez tells the FBI that he thinks it is a clandestine operation either by the CIA or the Department of Energy \(although in 1980 he tells journalist [Linda Moulton Howe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda%5FMoulton%5FHowe) that he thinks aliens are responsible\). **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Federal Bureau of Investigation, \[[cattle](https://vault.fbi.gov/Animal%20Mutilation/Animal%20Mutilation%20Part%204%20of%205) [mutilation documents](https://vault.fbi.gov/Animal%20Mutilation/Animal%20Mutilation%20Part%204%20of%205)\] **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5920 ### Event 42088 (016601AD) **Date:** 2/16/1979 **Description:** [Peter](http://www.ufowatchdog.com/peter%5Fgersten.htm) [Gersten](https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/sedona-vortex-jumper-peter-gersten-wanders-home-after-vortex-fails-to-open-6648932) again files a FOIA request with the NSA, this time requesting all documents in its possession or under the control of the NSA relating to UFOs. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** ClearIntent, [pp. 181–182](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/180/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5921 ### Event 42089 (D0A7B6B8) **Date:** 2/16/1979 **Description:** Memo from FBI SAC Albuquerque to FBI Director writes that New Mexico State Police officer Gabe Valdez claims the Department of Energy and Los Alamos National Laboratory are attempting to “cover up” the cattle mutilation phenomenon. FBI monitors interest in the phenomena from Sen. Harrison Schmitt; documentation suggests Schmitt may have been misled by DOE/LANL as well. * [http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Books/Digitized_by_AFU/Quest_Publications/Quest_Publications_002-Document_Series-Number_2.pdf#page=10](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Books/Digitized_by_AFU/Quest_Publications/Quest_Publications_002-Document_Series-Number_2.pdf#page=10) (p24) >**_Note_**: Sen. Schmitt ended up organizing a conference on the cattle mutilations in 1979, hosted by defense contractor BDM Intl. BDM also curiously employed former Dir. of Naval Intelligence RADM Sumner Shapiro, who told NASA engineer Bob Oechsler about reverse engineered UAP shipped to different government laboratories in a conversation in 1989. BDM also hosted the “Advance Theoretical Physics Conference” to study UAP under DOE supervision, see entry 20 May 1985 for more details. It is a natural question as to whether or not Sen. Schmitt’s cattle mutilation conference was able to reach any relevant conclusions given the involvement of a contractor possibly involved in deep black UAP work, possibly unbeknownst to Schmitt. >* [https://archive.org/details/aliencontacttops00good/page/258/mode/1up](https://archive.org/details/aliencontacttops00good/page/258/mode/1up) >* [http://nebula.wsimg.com/0868e1fbb52da339fac334f3ff34fe4a?AccessKeyId=315A23A0CEA7EB82D01A&disposition=0&alloworigin=1](http://nebula.wsimg.com/0868e1fbb52da339fac334f3ff34fe4a?AccessKeyId=315A23A0CEA7EB82D01A&disposition=0&alloworigin=1) **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_184 ### Event 42090 (8E8ED295) **Date:** 2/18/1979 **Time:** 02:30 **Location:** LARDIT, FR **Description:** 1 / car / malfunctions due to EME (electro-magnetic effects).

Police and two others went to investigate, but found nothing. Later that evening in Oakenholt, Clywd, Wales a woman out walking her dog at 6:15 p.m. was surprised when the animal suddenly laid down on the ground and began whining for no apparent reason. Glancing ahead of her, she saw a bright orange hovering spinning sphere. She then looked to her side and saw nearby, standing in the shadows among some bushes, two silvery-garbed humanoid figures who appeared to be smiling. Her dog temporarily distracted her, and when she looked back again the figures were gone. The bright orange sphere then vanished, and the dog ran home barking.

They are startled by a loud whining noise coming from an object that is descending nearby. After it lands, the noise changes to a hum, which then fades as it rests on the snow. It is gray and egg-shaped, with two fins on either side, and is the size of a small car. Frightened, the girls run up the hill but pause to take another look. The object rests on the ground for about 3 minutes, then starts humming and approaches the girls, landing again on the slope about 80 feet away. After another few minutes, it wobbles and takes off. Investigators from the Yorkshire UFO Society visit the site on February 25 and find odd indentations in the snow in two places. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Mark Birdsall and Graham Birdsall, “[Landing and Possible Traces near](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20Kingdom/Northern%20UFO%20News%20%28Jenny%20Randles%29/Northern%20UFO%20News%20-%20No%2062.pdf) [Leeds,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20Kingdom/Northern%20UFO%20News%20%28Jenny%20Randles%29/Northern%20UFO%20News%20-%20No%2062.pdf)” Northern Ufology, no. 62 \(July 1979\): 9–10; Good Above, [pp. 72–73](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/72/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5922 ### Event 42103 (866C496D) **Date:** 2/22/1979 **Description:** In Meanwood, near Leeds, England at around 4:00 p.m. a eight-foot long ovoid object landed for three minutes.

When he turned around he saw an approaching object land 40 meters away from him. He tried to make out what the object looked like, but the light emanating from it was too intense to capture much detail. The shape was like a truncated cone. As he approached the object, he saw a strange luminous figure emerge from the rear of the craft. The figure appeared to be robot-like in nature, lacking any arms, and it did not move its body when it walked. Its head appeared to be of normal size, but it had what appeared to be a trunk-like object coming from the area of the face. It wore a very shiny outfit. The robot entity walked towards the witness, approached to within three meters, and stood silently, seemingly observing the witness. Camusoni didn't feel afraid, but did feel curiosity towards the strange entity. Apparently the creature did not want to communicate since it suddenly wheeled around, returning to the object and disappeared behind it. The craft then rose up and disappeared at high speed towards the south, making a rushing sound. The whole encounter lasted five minutes. Ground traces were found the next day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UNICAT database, case #601, citing Oscar Alemanno, Quarta Dimension **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1139 ### Event 42109 (81C56824) **Date:** 3/1979 **Location:** SHEFFIELD, SOUTH YORKS **Description:** 2 observer(s).

Col. Seungbae Lee and Col. Byungsun Lim, are flying at 15,000 feet while returning from the annual Team Spirit military exercise to Daegu Air Force Base, South Korea. Near Palgong Mountain in the Taebaek Range, a star-like, stationary object appears in the distance that grows in size as the jets approach. Neither the aircraft nor the base can register the object on radar. When they reach within 15 miles of the light, it shoots away to the east and hovers again. The disc is as big as a jumbo jet and radiates bright golden light from top to bottom. Red and blue lights sparkle from its rim. After the jets circle twice above the object, it speeds away to the east. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Good Need, [p. 310](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/310/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5925 ### Event 42112 (26218780) **Date:** 3/1/1979 **Time:** 20:00 **Location:** MCKINNEY, KY **Description:** Round grey object / square top and window hovers / 200' altitude.

Suddenly he put down his pitchfork and started running in their direction. He was still about a hundred meters away when he saw one of the domes covered in a violet light and rise vertically into the air, then quickly move away. Despite his fear, but driven by curiosity, using tools and crawling through the bushes, the student (on vacation at his parents' dacha) managed to get within a few tens of meters of the object, which was not on the ground, but floating about a meter off the ground. "I couldn't believe my eyes. It was too crazy to be credible. In front of me, four dwarf creatures were standing in front of the saucer. They had arms and a torso of about normal size, but tiny legs. They were crouching near the machine and seemed to be spreading out shiny metal objects on the ground. They were wearing gray suits dotted with small black dots and a conical helmet of silver-blue color. A kind of breathing mask covered the bottom of their face and large glasses hid their eyes. Suddenly they turned in my direction. One of them raised an arm. It was so long that it almost doubled its size. They picked up the objects and I had the impression that they were entering the machine through the walls. I saw them for a few more moments in the dome through transparency. A green light covered the machine and it didn't take long to take off." **Reference:** J.-L.

Many residents of the Canary Islands are captivated with the sight of a strange sunset. Multicolored concentric rings or bright zigzag trails are seen on the horizon towards the west, forming an enormous cloud. A few minutes after 8:00 p.m., a point of light is seen to ascend, leaving a luminous jet that appears to expand, developing into a huge, bright dome. Independent sets of clear photos are obtained from distant points of view. The phenomenon is even seen from Safi, Morocco. Maj. Pedro Ortega García and Capt. José Juan Abad Cellini investigate for the Spanish Air Force and conclude that the luminous cloud was 320 miles in diameter at an altitude of 40 miles. They again reject the missile hypothesis, but the US Navy has launched four Poseidon missiles from the [USS Kamehameha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS%5FKamehameha%5F%28SSBN-642%29) around the same time that probably account for the phenomena. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Vicente- Juan Ballester Olmos and Ricardo Campo Pérez, “Navy Missile Tests and the Canary Islands UFOs,” IUR 29, no. 4 \(July 2005\): 4–5 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5928 ### Event 42128 (65E0F535) **Date:** 3/6/1979 **Time:** 18:00? **Location:** WESTMINSTER, SC **Description:** 1+3+3 observer(s). 12' saucer skims trees.

But at the same time, the inside and outside were illuminated as if it were broad daylight. Rushing outside, the owner discovered the entire agglomeration bathed in an intense light of an indeterminate color of blue, green, and mauve. The power outage was general. (...) His wife (of a fish farmer) noticed for her part the breakage of a wire of a high-tension line passing over the water, from which balls of fire escaped and disappeared into the water. The next day the fish farmer counted in his ponds nearly 1800 kg of dead fish. (...) The occupants of a car (...) describe the light in the form of a ball ... "of an indefinite color green blue mauve. It was motionless 8 or 10 m from the ground." The light seemed to stop two meters from the vehicle. When the car moved forward, it preceded it while maintaining a constant distance of two meters. According to their estimates, this mass could have been between 10 and 15 m in diameter. (...) After an autopsy, the death of the fish is attributed to a double cause: the passage of current in the state coming from the line that overhung it, and to a poisoning caused by aluminum in fusion.

It is traveling at 970 mph on a northwest course toward Spain. Three minutes later a scramble is ordered, and a Dassault Mirage III fighter takes off from Manises Air Base \[now Valencia Airport\] to identify the target, but the track soon vanishes from the radar. It has moved about 71 miles in that time. Four minutes later, the target reappears in another position, this time motionless. The Mirage is vectored toward the new position.

The accident begins with failures in the non-nuclear secondary system, followed by a stuck-open pilot-operated relief valve in the primary system, which allows large amounts of nuclear reactor coolant to escape, contaminating the containment building with thousands of gallons of radioactive water. The staff has no choice but to vent radioactive gases directly into the atmosphere. The mechanical failures are compounded by the initial failure of plant operators to recognize the situation as a loss-of-coolant accident due to inadequate training and computer interface oversights relating to ambiguous control room indicators. In particular, a hidden indicator light leads to an operator manually overriding the automatic emergency cooling system of the reactor because the operator mistakenly believes that there is too much coolant water present in the reactor and causing the steam pressure release. No one is harmed by the released radiation, which is contained entirely in a cloud of short-lived isotopes of inert gases that drift out over the Atlantic Ocean. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Three Mile Island accident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three%5FMile%5FIsland%5Faccident)”; Mike Gray and Ira Rosen, The Warning: Accident at Three Mile Island, Norton, 1982; Grace Halden, Three Mile Island: The Meltdown Crisis and Nuclear Power in American Popular Culture, Routledge, 2017 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5932 ### Event 42157 (ADEC137B) **Date:** 3/30/1979 **Time:** 20:30 **Location:** RADENCI, SLOVENIA, YUGO **Description:** Car paced / large glowing-sphere.

When they go outside to investigate, they see a UFO hovering silently about 230 feet from the encampment and 65 feet above the ground. They wave a lantern and the UFO seems to respond by blinking a light, then slowly lands nearby. More light signals are exchanged, then the UFO takes off and disappears toward the Andes mountains at 4:35 a.m. After the sighting, the goats \(about 1,500\) refuse to return to their corral. The engineers go to inspect the landing spot and find a large circle in which the sand has been petrified or hardened into chunks. Soil samples are taken to a Professor Corradi for analysis. Corradi, identified as director of the Institute for Extrahuman Studies, says the samples are being analyzed by the Office of Mining. Corradi remarks that that the “permanent presence of the UFOs over the uranium mines of La Pintada and Cuesta de los Terneros in San Rafael and now in Vizcacheras, is not a coincidence.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Richard H.

Armed with tanks and cannons, the soldiers of this unit immediately went east of the reservoir. When they arrived there, they saw the shining object land again on the desert (…) they immediately dispersed to encircle the unknown object. (…) People approached the object more and more, which had a shiny and smooth surface and made no noise. To everyone's great surprise, the strange object took off and, at a dizzying speed, rose like a lightning bolt into the sky, vertically (…) When it rose, there was no gust of air, the grass and sand on the ground did not move.

As he was alone at the time, upon exiting a wood he suddenly saw a strange object landing 200 meters away from him. It was a vertical cylinder one meter high and 25 cm in diameter with a flashing light, alternately red and white, at the top end. Arlindo took out his camera from his bag and took a photo of the mysterious object which disappeared immediately. Arlindo then saw a second similar object, but a bit longer, which had the shape of a top with a propeller on top and a very thin point, 20 cm long, at its lower part. This object landed in the ground a few meters away from Arlindo, just long enough for him to take a photo, then it disappeared as suddenly as the first one. Arlindo then saw a third one a bit further away. This one had the shape of a narrow barrel, about 2 m long, with red and white vertical stripes, fins on the sides and it was topped with a large propeller. Arlindo also took a photo of this third object, which disappeared as quickly as the two others. It was then that he saw a fourth much bigger object, a classic flying saucer about 6 m in diameter and white in color, with portholes on the side, which landed a few meters away from Arlindo on four legs ending in flat discs. Arlindo then tried to take a 4th photo, but the craft directed a blinding light beam at him which terrified him so much that he dropped his camera and tried to run away, but he remained paralyzed in place. He remembers having seen then two humanoids equipped like astronauts, with a suit, gloves and a glass helmet from which a flexible tube connected to a cylindrical tank they were carrying on their back was coming out. They seemed to be talking with their mouth, but their voice was coming from behind them. The two humanoids brought Arlindo towards the saucer, each holding him under an arm (...) After climbing a 4-step staircase he was welcomed by a third humanoid who asked him if he was intelligent and educated. He answered no. The unknown one made him enter through a rectangular door. The inside of the craft was brown in color and smelled of dust and it was very cold; two humanoids equipped in the same way were sitting in armchairs. These beings had slanted eyes going to the side, straight nose, slit mouth as if they were laughing with thin lips and no beard. They looked like they were typing on a typewriter. At that moment Arlindo saw appear a very beautiful young woman, dressed in white, with gloves but without a helmet. She was quite small but very pretty, with a dark complexion, her dark hair plastered to the side and features absolutely similar to those of a young and pretty Terran. She brought him to the next room where there was a machine resembling a large refrigerator. (note from vog: let's recap: 2 men outside, 1 man at the top of the staircase, 2 men sitting in an armchair + Arlindo + 1 female humanoid + armchairs and computer keyboards + a large refrigerator: that's a lot of people and furniture for a saucer (not a sphere) 6 m in diameter!)(...)

He takes a photo of the object before it abruptly disappears in plain sight. He walks to the clearing and sees another object shaped like a toy top and a little larger than the previous object, descending swiftly. It has a small propeller on top and a long, pointed protrusion on the bottom. As he tries to photograph the second object, he hears a whooshing sound, and the craft is quickly enveloped in smoke. He notices a third craft descending overhead. This one is barrel-shaped and hovers for a bit before landing. It also has a large propeller at one end and is covered with red stripes. It vanishes when he tries to approach. Dos Santos finally sees a huge, white, egg-shaped object descend. It has a pointed top and fin-like protrusions on each side. Next to the fins are several windows. As it descends it makes a horrific noise like a choking motor and puts out four landing pods. He approaches and tries to take another photograph, but there is a sudden flash that temporarily blinds him and leaves his eyes irritated. Frightened, he drops the camera and runs, but is only able to get about 30 feet before he is can no longer move. Behind him he notices two men wearing helmets with transparent visors and gloves. They grab him, each taking one arm. He begs them to let him go in the name of God, but they answer, “In the name of God, we are all brothers; we don’t harm anybody.” The voice comes from a box-like apparatus on their backs. He is taken toward the landed UFO. As he gets near, he can feel an intense cold surrounding it. Another helmeted figure stands by a ladder extending from the craft, looking from side to side. The man asks dos Santos if he has seen a “Zurca.” Dos Santos thinks he is referring to one of the smaller objects. The man extends a gloved hand and pulls dos Santos inside the craft through a square doorway. The atmosphere inside the craft is pleasant and cool, and there is a smell like “baby powder” in the air. Other men wearing dark, tight-fitting outfits are sitting on seats. The men have large slanted eyes, thin noses, and large mouths, and they are operating some type of machinery. They stand up and begin conversing in an unknown language. Suddenly, a heavyset woman emerges from another room. She wears a white uniform, gloves, but no helmet. Dos Santos describes her as good looking, tanned, with long light fine hair. The woman and one of the men then take him into a corridor. He enters a room where he sees a square object in the middle. The man pushes a button on the wall and the object rises. It resembled a large piece of marble. The woman takes out a long wand and points it at the object. On the object dos Santos sees an image of the planet Earth and other planets. At this point, the man removes his helmet revealing short, light-colored hair. When dos Santos leaves the craft, he is told to cover his eyes and not look as the object leaves. He follows these instructions and does not see the object depart. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[May 16, 1979: Near Baependi, Minas Gerais State,](http://www.nicap.org/790516baependidir.htm) [Brazil](http://www.nicap.org/790516baependidir.htm)”; “[Grandes Manobras Extraterrestres na Fazenda do Sobrado, Baependi, MG,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20132-135%20-%201980.PDF)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 132– 135 \(Jan./Aug. 1980\): 28–71; Jackson Luiz Camargo, “[O Caso do Embornal,](https://www.fenomenum.com.br/ufo/casuistica/1970/embornal)” Portal Fenomenum, June 15, 2016; Brazil 258–266 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5944 ### Event 42234 (CFFBE946) **Date:** 5/16/1979 **Description:** Arlindo Gabriel dos Santos was hunting with two friends in a forest near Baependi, Minas Gerais State, Brazil around 10:30 a.m. when he became separated from the others. Sr. dos Santos next saw an object descend towards the ground in a clearing. He approached to within 180 meters, and saw that the object was shaped like a "telephone booth" about 1 meter in height. He had been carrying his Kodak camera with him, and was able to take a snapshot of the object before it abruptly disappeared in plain sight. He walked to where the craft had been, and then saw another object swiftly descend. This next object was shaped like a toy top, and a little larger than the previous object. It had a small propeller like apparatus on top and a long pointy protrusion on the bottom. As he tried to photograph this second object he heard a whooshing sound and the craft was quickly enveloped in smoke. He got closer to the smoke, and then he noticed yet a third craft descending overhead. This one was barrel shaped and about one meter tall. It balanced above the ground before landing. It too had a large propeller at one end, and was covered with red stripes. This object too suddenly vanished when he tried to approach.

He finally saw a huge white, egg-shaped object descend to the ground. The ovoid craft had a pointy top, and a fin-like protrusions on each side. Next to the fins Arlindo could see several windows. While it descended it produced a horrific noise like a choking motor, and as it neared the ground it put out four, leg like landing pods. Arlindo approached and tried to take another photograph, but there was a sudden flash that temporarily blinded him and left his eyes irritated. Frightened, he dropped the camera and ran, but was only able to get about 10 meters before he became frozen in place, unable to move. He said it felt like someone had grabbed him from behind. Behind him he noticed two men wearing helmets with visors and gloves. Behind their transparent visors he could see human faces. They grabbed him, each taking one arm. He begged them to let him go in the name of God, but he received the answer, "In the name of God, we are all brothers, we don't harm anybody." The voice seemed to originate from a box like apparatus on their backs. He was taken towards the landed object. As he got near it he could feel an intense cold surrounding it. Another helmeted figure stood by a ladder extending from the craft, looking from side to side. The man asked Arlindo if he had seen something, which sounded to him like a "Zurca." Arlindo thought he could have been referring to one of the previous smaller aerial craft. That man then extended a gloved hand and pulled Arlindo inside the craft through a square shaped doorway. The atmosphere inside the craft was pleasant and cool, and there was a smell like "baby powder" in the air. There were other men sitting around on seats in the room. He described them as human like, wearing dark tight-fitting outfits. The men had large slanted eyes, thin noses, and large mouths and they seemed to operating some type of unknown machinery. The men stood up and began conversing among themselves in an unknown language. Suddenly from another room a heavyset woman emerged. She wore a white uniform, gloves, but no helmet. The witness described her as good looking, tanned, with long light fine hair. The woman and one of the men then took him into a corridor. He then entered a room where he saw a square shaped object in the middle. The man pushed a button on the wall and the object rose up. The object resembled a large piece of marble. The woman then took out a long wand like object and pointed it at the object. On the object the witness then saw an image of the planet Earth and other planets. At this point the man the removed his helmet and the witness could see that he had very short, light colored hair. When Arlindo left the craft he was told to cover his eyes and not to look as the object left. He followed these instructions and did not see the object depart. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

A disc-shaped craft landed, and he was given a metal bar as a gift, along with the message that the occupants will return again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 13700; Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, p. 294 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2898 ### Event 42236 (8019D979) **Date:** 5/17/1979 **Description:** At 12:25 a.m. William Herrman saw a UFO from his home in Summerville, South Carolina and felt the urge to get in his car and follow it to a remote location. Everything became silent, and the object descended from the sky, and pulled him inside the craft by means of a blue beam of light. He then lost consciousness. When he woke up he was on a exam table. He was medically examined by short, light skinned beings, with large heads and oval-shaped eyes. They wore red, tight-fitting coveralls and pullover boots, and their leader had an emblem like a winged serpent on his chest. They conversely extensively. He was then taken on a journey and allowed to view a larger vessel in flight and people on the surface looking up at the craft. He was eventually returned to the same field as his first abduction experience. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Thomas E.

They have staked out the hills with a camera and suddenly hear a muted howling noise echoing through the night. The noise is coming from a white, glowing light falling toward them. The glowing mass slows down and the howling stops. Now directly overhead, the object is hovering just feet above a stream. They see a dome on top that emits electric blue sparks, a middle section, and a rim with a translucent metallic glow. The object tilts to reveal intricate detail on its underside, then accelerates and disappears. The men take a dozen photos, but they only show black sky when processed. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, “The House on Haunted Moor,” Fortean Times 322 \(January 2015\): 23 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5945 ### Event 42239 (51832CD2) **Date:** 5/19/1979 **Description:** In Bukit Mertajam on the island of Pinang, Malaysia six school children reported sighting a landed object and four tiny humanoid figures near it in the middle of the afternoon. The creatures were only about 4 inches tall. One of the students attempted to catch one of the creatures but was shot in the hand. The creature then shot at a brick, breaking it into pieces. Afterwards the creatures ran back into their tiny craft. Another student reportedly grabbed the small object and was shocked by an electric current. The object then took off, and an adult witness watched the object taking off. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Admad Jamaludin, A Summary of UFO and Related Events in Malaysia, p. 81 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2986 ### Event 42240 (CC15086F) **Date:** 5/20/1979 **Time:** 08:00 **Location:** DAVAO, PI **Description:** American Scientist and 600.

Walking to within 10 feet of the object, he can see a third beam of light below it. Green geometrical shapes appear and vanish along the side of the UFO. A blinking red light shines out on the upper surface, in between the vertical bars of an H-shaped sign taking up almost the entire top. Suddenly the object shines with a white-blue light, and the man’s face feels like it is burning. Frightened, he runs away and does not look back. The next morning, he feels as if something heavy is pressing on his head; two weeks later, sores containing dried blood break out on his face. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Bronislaw Rzepecki, “UFOs and Ufologists in Poland,” IUR 11, no. 2 \(Mar./Apr. 1986\): 15–16; Bronislaw Rzepecki, “UFOs in Poland,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, p. 124 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5947 ### Event 42245 (247BA424) **Date:** 5/25/1979 **Time:** 01:10 **Location:** NORTH / COLUSA, CA **Description:** 2 observer(s).

The radar controllers had warned them of its presence. It was a kind of black triangle with two small tails. The UFO turned and moved away at a speed higher than the speed of sound. (Bob PRATT - USA who says the 29th). On May 26, instructor Danilo Catalan Farias, a pilot at the Cerro Moreno air base, made a training flight when he was warned by the control tower of the presence of an unidentified aircraft. Catalan was ordered, as was another pilot, to intercept and identify. The other pilot did not find the target. Danilo Catalan accelerated with the F-5 because he was about twenty miles from the unknown, whose echo was recorded on the on-board radar, suggesting that it was larger than a commercial aircraft. The object was then moving at a speed of 0.92 Mach and at an altitude of about 33,000 feet. Danilo Catalan managed to get close to within ten miles, which allowed him a visual contact while continuing the pursuit to be two miles from the UFO. At this distance, any aircraft in the air should be able to be identified. He described a black triangle with two small tails. At that moment the unknown accelerated and took a right-angle turn, which was confirmed on the ground. The speed of the unknown then reached at least Mach 3. The description of the object and its characteristics resembles the American SR-71 apparatus, better known as the "Black Bird", because it is a very intense dark blue antireflective color. It is a strategic reconnaissance, espionage aircraft, manufactured by Lockheed California Co., and is the substitute of the Famous U-2. It made its first flight on April 26, 1962, and construction for the American Army began in December, under the appellation SR-71A. Its flight qualities are exceptional, it is capable of reaching an altitude of 24,400 m. and developing a speed of 3,220 km/h.

He claims the current concept of flying discs originated in Germany in the 1930s, with the unknown private group gaining control of them after World War II. Contactees are manipulated by human programmers. Many ufologists think Vallée has gone too far in his anti- ETH approach and is conspiracy mongering. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacques Vallée, [Messengers of Deception: UFO Contacts and](https://archive.org/details/MessengersOfDeceptionUFOContactsAndCultsJacquesValle1979/mode/2up) [Cults](https://archive.org/details/MessengersOfDeceptionUFOContactsAndCultsJacquesValle1979/mode/2up), And/Or, 1979; Vincent White, “[A Critique,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201979%2006%2000%20-%20Vol%2027%20No%2012.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 27, no. 12 \(June 1979\): 3–5; Clark III 1214 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5949 ### Event 42271 (DEC7FFD8) **Date:** 6/1979 **Location:** Boardman, Ohio **Description:** 3:00 a.m. A woman doctor is in the TV room of her parents’ home in Boardman, Ohio, suffering from insomnia.

While camping in a wilderness area the witness looked up towards a clear spot in the clouds and then lost trackof time. He found himself in a large room while a being surrounded by light stood at his side. He remembers looking back at his body and seemingly walking on air toward a network of wires. At that point someone placed a helmet on his head and he had a sensation of expanded consciousness and a rushing in of information. He could look down and see the ground from his viewpoint in the air. A being nexted touched a small device to different points on his arm. He conversed with the beings about the nature of happiness and helping others. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Thomas E.

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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** International UFO Reporter, July 1979, p. 21 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3445 ### Event 42283 (8C6F9A3A) **Date:** 6/14/1979 **Location:** St. Petersburg, Florida **Description:** 8:30 a.m. A woman in St. Petersburg, Florida, sees an object with a long transparent trail. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Case 4-1-51,” IUR 4, no. 1 \(July 1979\): 10 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5953 ### Event 42284 (D8884A18) **Date:** 6/17/1979 **Location:** North Prairie, Wisconsin **Description:** 10:00 p.m. A witness in North Prairie, Wisconsin, watches a star, slightly dimmer than Jupiter, move silently across the sky from east to west, passing overhead.

Three humanoids came out of the craft and paralyzed him with red beams of light, from boxes that they carried on their chests. These humanoid beings also carried boxes on their backs and had an insignia on their chests. He was floated onboard the craft alongside and once inside he believed he passed out. However, under hypnosis he remembered traveling to a larger craft where he found himself in a dark room with small lights and what looked like star maps. Ten to twelve humanoids were in the room with him. They were of two different types. Some had skin with a greenish tinge, with black smooth hair, thin lips, thin noses, pointed ears, and large eyes. The others were similar in appearance except that they had brown skin, kinky hair, dark eyes, and thick lips. All were between four and five feet tall and wore white uniforms and gloves. He was taken to another room and laid on a couch, a naked woman the entered the room. She was human like with black almond-shaped eyes, brown skin, a large head, red kinky hair, and very foul smelling breath. He resisted her sexual advances but was forcibly restrained. They spread an oily substance on his body, and forced him to have sexual intercourse with the female. The beings spoke in an unknown language among themselves but by telepathy with him. He was given the impression that they were conducting genetic experiments and were interested in reproduction. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Thomas E.

Although the compass showed the yacht as headed in the right direction, the yacht instead drifted about 12 miles south and ended up in Bastia.

At about 6:30 p.m. the beautiful and tranquil day was interrupted by a bewildering and disturbing event. About three miles ahead of the prow of the boat they saw a black cylindrical shape. This object was coming out from the surface of the sea like a tower and rose 30 meters into the air. The yacht approached and they noticed the dimensions and shape of the object. When they were within 1.5 miles from the object, it disappeared below the surface with a loud rumble in less than three seconds. This sighting was also observed from the harbormaster's office on Livorno. The harbor captain remained in continuous radio contact with the crew and in particular with its wireless operator, Mr. Guzzi. But this phenomenon did not end with the disappearance of the object. Although the compass showed the yacht as headed in the right direction, the yacht instead drifted about 12 miles south and ended up in Bastia. This change of course was unexplainable because the sea was calm, there were no currents, and the compass was working perfectly. Another strange occurrence was that the dog on board started barking and appeared scared and terrified. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Marco Bianchini, USOCAT by Italian Center for UFO Studies (CISU), www.cisu.org; Carl Feindt, www. waterufo.net **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3607 ### Event 42298 (461BF41B) **Date:** 6/23/1979 **Time:** 02:57:00.0 **Location:** 49.9130 78.8570 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

The informant was charged with loading crates onto helicopters and by the time he arrived at the crash retrieval, the object had been removed from the deep ruts it created in the Earth and placed on a semi-trailer covered by a tarp, it looked disc like with a dome; pieces of strange metal had fallen behind the trailer onto the ground dull grayish-brown in color. After he cleaned up the site and it was evacuated, he was soon “abruptly” transferred to embassy duty in Central America for several months; the informant also states he viewed UAP “artifacts” and bodies at Grafford AFB in Nevada on Thanksgiving weekend in 1973 or 1974 before being abruptly transferred to Guantanamo Base in Cuba for several months. * _[Retrievals of the Third Kind presented at MUFON 1978, Leon Stringfield](https://github.com/richgel999/uap_resources/blob/main/1978_Mufon_Symposium_Stringfield.pdf), p369_ **Reference:** [Anonymous 2023 PDF](https://archive.org/details/anon_pdf_from_markdown) **Source:** Anon2023PDF, **ID:** Anon2023PDF_187 ### Event 42309 (DD0801D6) **Date:** 6/28/1979 **Location:** BRAZIL, Mirassol **Description:** (Translated from French) At around 3am Antonio Ferreira was on guard duty at a construction site when he saw a strange craft land about 50 meters away from him. Suddenly he found himself face to face with three dwarf humanoids, each of them smaller than a meter. One of them directed a red beam of light at him, paralyzing him. The humanoids were wearing white suits that covered their heads, with a badge on their chests depicting a cross inside a circle. Antonio lost consciousness and woke up inside a small, oval-shaped, red capsule with gray benches all around and a dashboard full of instruments. He was then taken to a large room where there were about twenty humanoids: some were brown, others green, they had huge heads, pointed ears, a big mouth, and large eyes. They spoke an incomprehensible language. He was made to sit down and lost consciousness again. When he woke up he was back at the construction site and it was 6am. Antonio's dog, who had been with him at the site, was also paralyzed and afterwards refused to enter the site. The police found a perfect circle where the grass was burned. It is worth noting that at 3am all the television sets in the area stopped working and witnesses saw a luminous ball descend onto the construction site.

He is approached by three humanoid figures who tranquilize him and take him aboard a small ship that ferries him to a larger craft further away. There he is put in front of a large TV screen and presented with a variety of images before being forced to mate with a female alien. He is tranquilized again and returned to the ground. The aliens are approximately 4 feet tall with pointed ears, slanted eyes, and human-like mouths. They lack eyebrows or eyelashes and speak in a language that superficially resembles Japanese. Some have dark skin and red curly hair, while others have light skin and straight black hair. The ship is spherical with three legs protruding from the bottom, and the interior is lit by bright red and green lights. Ferreira states that he encountered the aliens again in 1982, with the craft supposedly landing close enough for him to see the female alien and a childlike alien observing him from a distance. He experiences a third encounter later in 1982 in which he is taken into the hangar of an alien craft by a green beam of light before being injected with a yellow substance. He is then taken to meet the two aliens once more, the younger of whom he is led to believe is his own child. Other encounters follow, to a total of 16 or 20 between 1979 and 1989. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Caso Mirassol](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201979%2006%2000%20-%20Vol%2027%20No%2012.pdf)”; Ney Matiel Pires, “[3-Sexto Contato com Ufonautas de Antônio Carlos Ferreira,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20158-161%20-%201984.PDF)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 158–161 \(May/Dec. 1984\): 14–54; Walter K.

He hears a powerful buzzing or shushing noise overhead. Not more than 25 feet above the trees on the uphill side of the road is a black, disc-shaped object, about 25 feet wide, that is blocking out the light of the stars. Within seconds a bright light beams down at him from the center of the object. He feels an electrical sensation and a general lightness. The light blinks out and the man begins running away, but the disc is descending and following him. The beam of light blinks on again when it is 50–60 feet above him. Two backpackers witness this and come running to aid him. The light blinks out again and four blinking red and green lights appear at the edge of the disc, which moves ahead another 150–200 feet. The UFO then rises to 400–500 feet and flies steadily until it disappears behind a hill. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “High Adventure in Greece,” IUR/Frontiers of Science 3, no. 6 \(Jan./Feb. 1982\): 15–16 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5960 ### Event 42319 (BD6AB249) **Date:** 7/5/1979 **Time:** 02:50 **Location:** OFF SEWARD, AK **Description:** Boat.

He finds an egg-shaped, white, metallic object resting on two feet in the access road to his field. Two small beings run from behind a carob tree on his left and enter the craft. They are wearing white outfits “puffed up with air” with protruding black tubes. The UFO suddenly ascends at great speed, stirring up a whirlwind. The case is investigated in depth in 1979 and reinvestigated in 2008. It features unique shapes for both the landed craft and its occupants. The one witness is apparently credible. Ground traces are found as circumstantial evidence. Spanish investigator [Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos](http://independent.academia.edu/VICENTEJUANBALLESTEROLMOS/CurriculumVitae) concludes: “My considered impression is that the witness sincerely believes in the tangible reality of his experience, and I have not found any reasonable evidence of a lie or episode of fantasy, nor any proof that he embellished his account.” Ballester Olmos’s latest thought is, “Did the witness invent or hallucinate the event under the influence of the current publicity for the Star Wars movie?” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, “Imagination or Reality?

One hour later a diffuse white ball of light maneuvered in the sky for 30 minutes over the Chatsworth Reservoir. At 3:15 a housewife and cocktail waitress was abducted while driving home from work by a UFO she thought was a plane crashing. She experienced an episode of missing time and partial amnesia about other events, but did recall undergoing a physical exam while lying on her back. A probe was inserted into her leg, and her eyes were dabbed with a liquid. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** MUFON UFO Journal, September 1980; Davd F.

He thought at first it was his neighbor's car, but when he rounded a bend in the road the object blocking the road resembled a vertical half-egg that stood on legs, with the truncated end facing downwards. It was nine feet high and almost 3 feet wide. He then noticed two 3-foot-tall beings running toward the object. The wore white shiny outfits that covered their head and came down to their knees. They had small black legs that ended in little feet that looked like "boxing gloves." Their faces were blank except for what appeared to be a black protruding face mask of some sort. Within seconds the beings entered the object, which then took off throwing up a cloud of dust. Sr. Ibanez got back in his car and drove off to inspect his vines. A subsequent investigation found four circular marks on the road forming a precise rectangle. The farmer, who knew nothing about UFOs, had a solid reputation among his friends and neighbors. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Patrick Huyghe, The Field Guide to Extraterrestrials, p. 46; Gordon Creighton, The Encounter at Turis, FSR, June 1982, pp. 17-18 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4395 ### Event 42357 (BCBB85E1) **Date:** 7/27/1979 **Time:** 23:10 **Location:** STAMFORD, CT **Description:** 4+4 separate observer(s).

He calls his wife Kathleen and others, and they watch it move silently across the sky at treetop level. After 5 minutes, it stops and hovers. Four or five white flashes erupt from its right side, followed by 4–5 faint sounds like firecrackers. At 11:19, a commercial jet flies overhead and under the UFO, which accelerates almost straight up in 5–10 seconds, diminishing to a pinpoint. Other witnesses 3.5 miles to the north and a few miles to the west watch similar objects. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Independent Witnesses in Connecticut,” IUR 4, no. 3/4 \(Sept./Oct. 1979\): 10 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5963 ### Event 42359 (A074218C) **Date:** 7/28/1979 **Location:** CHINA, unspecified location **Description:** (Translated from French) …at 5 o'clock in the morning I was doing physical exercises on the sports field. Suddenly a fireball rose into the sky above the mountain. It was three times bigger than a full moon, was at 500 m altitude, and moved slowly in a southward direction. When it reached the zenith, a second fireball shot out of the first one, which immediately became a crown of light and gradually faded away in the distance. The second fireball, as big as the first one, also spat out a third fireball, similar to the first two, and the second one repeated what had happened to the first one and also disappeared in the distance. I saw a total of seven fireballs that followed each other and after a few minutes, the phenomenon completely dissipated. **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials", ed.

A resident of Człuchów, Poland, is rowing his boat on a lake when he sees a “dark oblong object” moving rapidly and soundlessly along the surface of the water without disturbing it. It disappears behind some lakeside vegetation. Another witness on shore sees it apparently land, so he calls his two dogs and heads toward the spot. About 65 feet from the shore he can see two entities in dark suits walking toward the forest. The dogs run toward them and they stop and turn around. The dogs stop in their tracks, bark, and retreat in terror. The witness watches the entities as they continue walking. They are about 5 feet tall and sealed in diving outfits. At the level of their eyes is a glass plate through which they can apparently see. Their hips are unnaturally wide and each has a hump between the back of the neck and the shoulders. The witness calls out to them, but they begin running into the trees. A luminous rectangular object floats up from the treetops about 325 feet away and hovers 100 feet from the ground. A blue-green light is along its sides, shading away into white in the middle. The UFO speeds away, leaving no findable landing traces. The witness claims his dogs’ front legs become paralyzed 6 months later and he has to put them to sleep. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Bronislaw Rzepecki, “UFOs and Ufologists in Poland,” IUR 11, no. 2 \(Mar./Apr. 1986\): 16; ; Bronislaw Rzepecki, “UFOs in Poland,” UFOs 1947–1987, Fortean Tomes, 1987, pp. 124–125 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5966 ### Event 42370 (1033B8DE) **Date:** 8/1979 **Location:** Faulkner, Conway Counties, ARKANSAS **Description:** Several cattle mutilations, as well as unidentified (low-flying) helicopter sightings, were reported.

Newspaper reports at the time focus on the reentry of a satellite or rocket stage as the possible cause, suggested by Col. [Ariel Coca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcotics%5Fin%5FBolivia\#Narcotics%5Fcorruption), director of the Bolivian Air Force Academy. The Defense Attaché of the US Embassy in La Paz promptly informs the US Defense Intelligence Agency via telexed Moon Dust reports, which include translations of two Bolivian newspaper reports. Moon Dust is the unclassified name of a cold war USAF program to obtain Soviet space hardware that survives reentry. In 2014, amateur satellite tracker [Ted Molczan](http://www.spacesafetymagazine.com/author/ted-molczan/) presents strong circumstantial evidence that the spheres are debris from the reentry of the Delta rocket second stage 1979-072B that launched [Westar 3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westar) from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the same day. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Moon Dust, Object Found near Santz Cruz \*U\*,](https://prochazkaondrej.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/moondustaug2009.pdf)” August 17, 1979; “[Moon Dust,](https://prochazkaondrej.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/moondustaug2009.pdf) [Additional Object Reportedly Found near Santa Cruz \*U\*,](https://prochazkaondrej.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/moondustaug2009.pdf)” August 21, 1979; Ted Molczan, “[Re-Entry Sightings](http://www.satobs.org/reentry/1979-072B/1979-072B.html) [and Debris Recovery of 1979-072B, Bolivia: 1979 August 10 UTC,](http://www.satobs.org/reentry/1979-072B/1979-072B.html)” Visual Satellite Observer, July 30, 2014; Ted Molczan, “[Bolivia: Spheres Found August 1979, La Prensa Article,](http://www.satobs.org/reentry/1979-072B/La%5FPrensa.pdf)” Visual Satellite Observer; Good Above, [pp. 322–323](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/322/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5975 ### Event 42404 (11007B6F) **Date:** 8/10/1979 **Location:** Czluchow, Poland **Description:** 9:00 p.m. Two witnesses are on the shore of a lake near Czluchow, Poland, when they see an object gliding swiftly along the surface and vanishing behind some vegetation on the bank. One witness collects his dogs and approaches the spot, but before he gets there, he encounters two entities dressed in black who are moving toward the woods. The dogs run toward them barking, but the entities turn to face them and the dogs stop barking and go back. The beings are dressed in coveralls. They have wide hips, a lump at the base of their necks, and curved forearms, and they are gliding rather than walking. They vanish, and while searching for them the witness sees a rectangular object hovering about 300 feet away and flashing beams of white and blue-green light. It vanishes suddenly. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Bronislaw Rzepecki, “[UFO Reports from Poland,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201988%20V%2033%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 33, no. 1 \(March 1988\): 5–6; Poland 46–48 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5976 ### Event 42405 (F2308926) **Date:** 8/11/1979 **Location:** MALAYSIA, Lumut **Description:** (Translated from French) Beginning on August 11 and for several days, students saw at night three furry creatures, about 3 meters tall, with red eyes.

Soon they saw a curious looking object descend towards the ground in an apparent crash landing. They ran up the embankment to get a better view of the object, which they described as resembling a gondola with a curved base and a girder-like structure, with a reddish glow on top. The witnesses felt attracted towards the object and began walking towards it. The next thing they knew they were running away, and the grass around them was swaying as if in a strong wind. The UFO could be seen flying silently away. After the incident the mother and daughter developed strange lesions on their legs, and her young son had nightmares. Under hypnosis the mother was able to recall several strange beings with elongated heads and "puppet like" faces. She remembered being examined on a table by some sort of light beam. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Lucjan Szomborg on the Hel-127 notices two bright-red lights in the air less than a mile away. Suddenly another larger, pulsating light appears abut 1,500 feet in front of the boat and the original two lights, which are apparently attached to a dark object, move silently toward it. A white light emerges from the two smaller lights, which then disappear in the distance. The pulsating light begins flashing erratically, emitting strong vibrations, and Szomborg steers his boat closer. The red light places itself directly in the Hel-127’s path three times, matching the boat’s course changes. The crew members begin to get nervous, some getting severe headaches, chest pains, and nausea. The navigator, Henryk Elwardt, is gripped with pain, affected by the pulsing vibrations. Szomborg, feeling symptoms of paralysis and temporary blindness, manages to change course and warn his father on the Hel-125 of danger. All the on-board equipment has suddenly stopped working. After 20 minutes, Szomborg notices that the red sphere has moved further away. The boats safely return to Hel by 4:00 a.m., and the equipment is working again. Doctors, neurologists, and psychiatrists examine the crew and find nothing physically wrong, but they are prescribed sedatives and the Polish Navy prohibits them from going out to sea for 3 weeks. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Poland 122–124; “[UFO nad Bałtykiem 23 sierpnia 1979 r.,](https://ufo-relacje.pl/2019/08/04/ufo-nad-baltykiem-23-sierpnia-1979-r/)” UFO-Relacje.pl, August 4, 2019 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5988 ### Event 42450 (FEF72ECE) **Date:** 8/24/1979 **Time:** 03:20 **Location:** CANOGA PARK, CA **Description:** 1 observer = Anapol.

It was a giant shuttle, in flames, whose cylindrical head had an angular diameter of 1.5° and the tail 0.5°. The whole object was red like a bar of iron taken out of the fire. Only the lower part of this shuttle seemed a bit dark. The object flew at a slower speed than that of an airliner. At a glance it moved at a height of 200 m from the ground. (...) Silently, moving horizontally, the shuttle flew over the camp of an army unit temporarily stationed in this village, then cut the road to Daba and, having made a 180° turn, it went back in the direction from which it had come. (...) When it reached the side of the mountain it was seen to rise slowly into the sky, lighting up the mountain which became all red. Then it crossed the summit to disappear in a flash behind the mountain. (August 26, 1979) **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials", ed.

The light is to his south, shining from a grove of trees standing along State Highway 220 near the Red River. He thinks it might be from a downed drug-smuggling airplane. He turns south on 220, accelerates to 65 mph, and moves closer. The light moves toward him, traveling so fast that it crosses the 1.5 miles separating them almost instantaneously. It makes no sound and still looks just like a blinding light. Johnson hears glass breaking and sees the inside of the patrol car light up. After the light hits, he loses consciousness. When he wakes up, his head is resting on the steering wheel and his eyes are staring at the red “engine” light on the dashboard. He looks out the window and sees the car has skidded sideways across the northbound lane and now faces eastward. The front tires are touching the gravel on the shoulder. He can see only with difficulty and feels like he is moving in slow motion. At 2:19 a.m., he radios headquarters and asks for assistance. Deputy Greg Winskowski arrives on the scene shortly. Johnson is still inside the car with a red bump on his forehead, so he calls an ambulance. At the hospital, Dr. W. A. Pinsonneault examines Johnson’s eyes, but the probe light hurts so much that Johnson cannot stand it more than a few seconds at a time. Pinsonneault suspects corneal flash burns and covers his eyes with bandages. Sheriff Dennis Brekke drives Johnson’s 1977 Ford LTD patrol car back to the garage. The inside light on the driver’s side is smashed. On the hood, 4 feet 4 inches behind the smashed light and close to the windshield, is a flat-bottomed, circular dent, half an inch in diameter. A crack in the windshield on the driver’s side about 18 inches behind the dent runs top to bottom, with four apparent impacts; it looks as if a cluster of small objects, stones perhaps, have done the damage. The car’s battery-powered clock, set correctly at 7:00 p.m. when Johnson came on duty, is 14 minutes late. So is Johnson’s wind-up wristwatch, set at the same time. The red plastic lens covering the roof light on the driver’s side shows a triangular puncture, and the lens is dislodged from the housing. A radio antenna shaft is bent over at a 60° angle. The large “bubble” lamp just inches in front of the antenna is unscathed. The trunk antenna for CB radio is bent at 90°. Brekke, after calling the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Illinois, takes Johnson to Grand Forks, North Dakota, at 11:00 a.m. for an eye examination by ophthalmologist Leonard Prochaska, who finds that Johnson’s problems have cleared up. [Allan Hendry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan%5FHendry) of CUFOS determines that the car damage is inconsistent with anything an airplane could have caused. Meridan French, a windshield expert with the Glass Division of Ford Motor Company, concludes that a flat-ended object had made a forceful impact with the hood and then tilted toward the windshield. A team of engineers at Honeywell’s materials testing laboratory indicates that flying particles were responsible for the damage to the headlight glass and lamp plastic. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Val](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val%5FJohnson%5Fincident) [Johnson incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val%5FJohnson%5Fincident)”; NICAP, “[Val Johnson Case](http://www.nicap.org/790827marshallco%5Fdir.htm)”; “[Deputy’s UFO Story](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/12239437/val-johnson-marshall-co-ufo-1/) [Evokes Other Tales,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/12239477/val-johnson-marshall-co-ufo-2/)” Minneapolis Star, September 11, 1979, pp. 1, 5; “Minnesota CEII: The Val Johnson Story,” IUR 4, no. 3/4 \(Sept./Oct. 1979\): 4–9; “Minnesota CEII: The Val Johnson Story, Part Two, Laboratory Analyses and Conclusion,” IUR 4, no. 5 \(November 1979\): 4–11; Chris Rutkowski, “[Special Report: Stephen, Minnesota; Not Proof, But…](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Swamp%20Gas%20Journal/Swamp%20Gas%20Journal%20-%201980%20Volume%201%20Number%207.pdf)” Swamp Gas Journal 1, no. 6 \(April 1980\): 1–4; Mark Rodeghier, “UFO/Vehicle Very Close Encounters,” IUR 27, no. 1 \(Spring 2002\): 25; Clark III 713–716 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5990 ### Event 42471 (29F19560) **Date:** 8/27/1979 **Locations:** Blackbushe Airport; Yateley, Hampshire, England; Basingstoke **Description:** 2:30 p.m. Flying instructor Laurie Adlington has just left Blackbushe Airport in Yateley, Hampshire, England, with Lt. James Plastow from Sandhurst Military College for his pilot’s license test in a Cessna 150. They are at 2,000 feet heading toward Basingstoke when Adlington suddenly grabs the controls and throws the Cessna into a steep bank and descent to avoid a collision. An object suddenly speeds past the front of the aircraft, coming within a few feet of the windshield. The rotating object is about 12 inches in diameter, shaped like a doughnut, reflects light with a silvery glow “like a blob of mercury,” and has a honeycombed surface. They can make out the hint of an aerial on one side. The object begins flying around the plane for a short time before it flies underneath it and then streaks upward and away to about 3,000 feet. Possible early use of a drone. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Omar Fowler, “[Mini-Disc over Blackbushe,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 26, no. 1 \(June 1980\): 18–19 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5991 ### Event 42472 (15E12F83) **Date:** 8/27/1979 **Location:** Smithtown, New York **Description:** 11:00 p.m. A family in Smithtown, New York, watches a round object with a band around its equator and many small orange lights fly toward them from the north.

It is stationary for 2 seconds, then it streaks toward him and engulfs his car. Johnson closes his eyes and hits the brakes, skidding the car to a stop, spinning sideways until it faces east. He opens his eyes and sees the light heading away west. The next day, the still-shaken Johnson goes to the site with Robert Adams at the University of South Dakota, who sees the skid marks. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 716; “Case 4-5- 2,” IUR 4, no. 5 \(November 1979\): 11 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5993 ### Event 42482 (21655536) **Date:** 8/29/1979 **Locations:** Pasco, Washington; alfalfa field 10 miles north of Pasco, Washington **Description:** 8:00 a.m. A woman is in her alfalfa field 10 miles north of Pasco, Washington, when she sees what appears to be a post sitting a half-mile away. It is about 4–5 feet tall. About 10 minutes later she sees that the object is now in the air, flying slowly in a horizontal position, land bullet-shaped, looking black on its flat end and silver on its rounded end. A neighbor also sees the object before it disappears in the west. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “A Flying Fence Post in Washington State,” IUR 4, no. 6 \(December 1979\): 5 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5994 ### Event 42483 (2D425807) **Date:** 8/29/1979 **Locations:** Dziki; Ernestowo; Poland; Laskowice **Description:** 7:30 p.m. A married couple is taking their dog on a duck hunt between Dziki and Ernestowo, Poland, when they notice a “strange orange ball” coming from behind a hill about 3 miles away. The husband studies it through binoculars, estimating its speed as about 95 mph. The ball proves to be the front of a huge steel-colored cigar- shaped object, which stops 1,300 feet away and hovers above some buildings for about 10 seconds. They can see five large, square windows with rounded corners; the three in the front glow with orange light, while the other two seem covered by a shade. The object moves forward about 40 feet and stops. Half a minute later, sparks shoot from the rear and the UFO vanishes over the horizon. An orange glow remains behind. Alojzy Pawlik sees the same object in Laskowice at about the same time. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Bronislaw Rzepecki, “Encounters in Poland,” IUR 12, no. 3 \(May/June 1987\): 17 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5995 ### Event 42484 (C52F3F73) **Date:** 8/29/1979 **Location:** Chicago, Illinois **Description:** 10:00 p.m. A 47-year-old housewife sees the lower corner of a gigantic “mothership” outside her living room window in a southwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois. The blimp-like UFO is so huge she can’t see the whole length or height. It extends the whole block of houses at treetop level. She reports four different kinds of humanoid creatures \(7 in all\) visible through the hull, which is luminous and yellow in color. She hears a loud humming sound.

They call the police, and Deputy Berna Van Vlerah looks outside the station 2.5 miles west of the Weedens and sees the orange light to her southeast, low above the horizon. Using binoculars, she sees a flat- bottomed orange dome shape within the light. She watches it for 5 minutes, then drives to the Weedens and watches it there to the west. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Orange NL in Illinois?” IUR 4, no. 6 \(December 1979\): 5 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5997 ### Event 42486 (C3AB0036) **Date:** 8/29/1979 **Locations:** US Highway 17; Warrenton, Virginia; Fredericksburg warehouse; Winchester hospital; Alpha Centauri **Description:** 11:15 p.m. Harry Joe Turner is driving a 1974 Kenworth tractor-trailer loaded with mustard and ketchup on US Highway 17 two miles from Warrenton, Virginia. His CB radio starts acting up, giving out a noise that gets louder and louder. Something grabs him tightly on his left shoulder. He sees a large object looming over his cab and hears two thumps. Even though he is going 70 mph, he sees a figure standing outside. When it throws open the door, Turner grabs his .32 automatic pistol and fires 8 rounds at it with no effect. He then blacks out. Turner wakes up in the passenger seat at 3:00 a.m. at his destination in a Fredericksburg warehouse but can’t remember how he got there. The odometer indicates he has only traveled 17 miles, not 80, yet he has used 114 gallons of fuel. The top 2 inches of the CB antenna are melted off, and 30 inches of the AM/FM antenna has broken off. A filmy substance covers the truck. He drives back home but is confused and his eyes are overly sensitive to light. Turner wakes up in a Winchester hospital diagnosed with a broken blood vessel in his left eye. He begins to remember more about the experience and recalls his truck being lifted into a UFO piloted by two humanlike figures dressed in white shirts and pants, one of whom is named Alpha La Zoo Loo. He seems to take a trip in space to a planet beyond Alpha Centauri. On September 3, after taking valium, Turner is arrested for speeding. He thinks aliens are chasing him. Turner continues to undergo anxiety attacks. [Allan Hendry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan%5FHendry) and Fred Whiting from the Center for UFO Studies are unable to corroborate Turner’s story, and the two antennas appear to be deliberately altered. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Iris Maack, “[Truck, Rig, Abducted \(?\),](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201979%2012%2000%20-%20Vol%2028%20No%206.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 28, no. 6 \(December 1979\): 1–3; Clark III 1139–1141 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_5998 ### Event 42487 (470467BE) **Date:** 8/29/1979 **Description:** Two primary school students were walking home from school through Zachodni Park in Wroclaw, Poland around four p.m. As they were walking by one of the alleys they saw a strange disc-shaped object on the ground, with two silvery-garbed humanoids standing next to it.

The bottom half of the craft emitted a soft pink light, and the top domed section was encased in an orange mist. The craft appeared to be spinning and emitting luminous flashes from its edges. Two short men emerged from the object. They were strongly built with broad shoulders and strong chests. They wore black tight-fitting suits that covered their entire bodies. The suits had two small slits at eye level. They were talking among themselves in a language that sounded more like the twittering of birds than anything else. They appeared to inspect the craft, and then were somehow sucked up inside it. The UFO subsequently took off. On the spot where the object had been resting the soil was found to be totally sterile with all living organisms completely absent. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The stalks are flattened in a pattern radiating from the center of the circle, and some are charred. He finds a path leading to another circle 18 feet away. At first, he thinks lightning caused it, but then he considers the possibility of a UFO. County Extension Agent [Matt Metz](https://www.postbulletin.com/mathias-p-matt-metz-wabasha/article%5Fc1b03785-3d07-59f5-96d9-eb0df5347326.html) thinks it might have been a combination of wind and decay. In 1987, Curtis’s uncle David Olson admits to creating the circles as a practical joke, using his burlap-covered feet and a posthole tamper. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Farmer Says UFO](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97555844/) [Caused Field Damage,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97556001/)” Minneapolis Tribune, September 19, 1979, pp. 2B, 4B; “[Not Everyone in Lake City](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97556418/) [Accepting Prankster’s](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97556508/) [Confession in UFO Mystery,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97556508/)” Minneapolis Star and Tribune, April 8, 1987, pp. 1B, 6B; Clark III 602 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_6015 ### Event 42578 (D282F521) **Date:** 9/17/1979 **Time:** 00:10? **Location:** WEISSENBURG, BAVARIA **Description:** 2 Pentagon UFO's verified / police.

A short, human-like figure appeared next to the craft. He wore a very white outfit with what appeared to be a bright green visor over the eyes. The witness sensed some type of telepathic message, but could not recall its contents, and does not remember how the figure and the object left. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The object, which was emitting the flashing red light from the top of the craft, was 20 meters above ground at the time. After touching down on the ground, the object rose two meters into the air, and then landed again. Its color changed from red to white to blue. The UFO landed with a shrill sound, giving off rays of blue and white light. At the landing site were found five holes, three centimeters in diameter and two cm deep, with one of the holes in the center. These imprint marks were within a 50 cm circle marked on ground, which was compacted and hard.No unusual radioactivity was detected, but a policeman who touched the traces had his hand swell up. A general power blackout occurred in the area at the time, which was associated with the UFO landing. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, November 1979, p. 11, citing Cronica, September 24, 1979; UNICAT, case # 461, citing Daniel Moreno, UFO Press, July 1983, p. 7 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6100 ### Event 42590 (CB95CB4D) **Date:** 9/20/1979 **Location:** CHINA **Description:** (Translated from French) Launch of three Chinese satellites 9, 10 and 11.

One witness described the UFO as resembling a "ring," and the other--who saw it from a different angle--said it looked like "two silver deltas connected by a cross." Both men experienced a high frequency squeaking sound in their heads. As they approached to investigate they were engulfed by a dense white "fog" and illuminated by bright light. They both felt inertial effects as if rising up into the air at high speed. Kobus propped himself against a soft object like an "armchair," which later vanished, and he experienced a kaleidoscope of colors and other odd sensations as if thoughts were flowing into his brain from an external source. Goralski asked questions of what he supposed were unseen entities, and obtained partial answers in an unspecific fashion. "What is matter?" he asked, and the answer he received was, "The most important attribute of matter is its ability to pervade through other matter." Goralski leaned over to the edge of the "fog" and could clearly see the town below. He experienced a visual display like a "time tunnel," including people in costumes of bygone days. Suddenly they fell, as if from a height of about 30 cm, and landed back in the garden. Goralski ran home, arriving there at 9:30 p.m.. The witnesses were administered psychological test, that indicated their personalities were normal. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Emilia Popik, MUFON UFO Journal, August 1980, p. 16; Lumieres dans la Nuit, May 1981; Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, p. 306; Thomas E.

From 110,000 km in altitude, a Vela satellite detected a very brief flash of light in a 1500 km diameter zone, which weakened for a fraction of a second before intensifying again. (...) This double flash is characteristic of a nuclear explosion. (...) Up to this date, double flashes had already been observed 41 times, and each time the culprits were either France or China, who were not signatories of the treaty banning such tests. (...) But this time the suspect is South Africa, who detonated a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere. **Reference:** "The War of the Satellites" - Volume 3 - Pierre Kohler, ed.

Cornel Alexandru Olteanu is gathering mushrooms in a forest near Valea Berii near the source of the Teleajen River in the Ciucaş Mountains, Romania. He notices a gray object like a car in a clearing under a high cliff about 320 feet away. He walks toward it and sees it looks more like a metallic disc with a turret and is sitting on 3–4 legs. Nearby are two little men about 4 feet tall who seem to be working on something. They have large eyes, bald heads, and yellowish skin, and they are dressed in a one-piece suit. Noticing him, they turn toward Olteanu, who is suddenly unable to move. The men turn around and climb up a ladder into the object. Flashing white lights come on and the object takes off into the sky and over some trees, which bend over as if they are going through a hurricane. After it is gone, Olteanu can move again. He notices a yellowish stain at the landing site. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Romania 132–133 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_6024 ### Event 42628 (AE3FEBF4) **Date:** 10/4/1979 **Time:** 12:00 **Location:** MANHATTAN, NY **Description:** 3+3 observer(s).

The object was round, dark grey, 7 to 7.50m in diameter, next to which two smaller spheres with "feet" emerged, which ran after him, attaching themselves to his legs and taking him inside the UFO. He saw no entities, only these spheres, which seemed to keep him under control. (Janet and Colin BORD: "Modern Mysteries of the World" - Guild Publishing London, 1989, pp. 97 to 99 which dates from 5th November) Robert Tayler, 50 years old, forestry worker, father of 7 children, was with his setter dog on Dechmont Hill. He smelled a chemical odour and advanced towards a clearing to see what it was. There was a craft there resembling an extraterrestrial vessel. Suddenly two "extraterrestrials" emerged from it. They resembled "mines" or wheels with arms. They came slowly at first, then accelerated and grabbed him by the legs (or later there were marks). The forester tried to struggle but lost consciousness. When he woke up, the craft and the "things" had gone. Taylor reached his station wagon parked further away, but it was stuck in the mud and he abandoned it, walking back. When the police arrived at the scene, the car engine was still running, Taylor, in his panic, had not noticed.

Taylor and his dog are on duty when he spots a UFO hovering completely motionless and silent above the ground. Described as approximately 20 feet across and 12 feet high, the strange object is made of a “dark gray metallic material.” Taylor thinks the UFO is possibly going transparent from time to time in order to disguise itself. A ring or platform encircles the object with spikes topped with propellers. Two more small spiky spheres come from the craft and make a sound as their spikes move across the ground. Taylor is then grabbed by these two smaller objects and dragged to the UFO. As this is happening, he can smell a strong, sickening odor. Soon after this, he loses consciousness and remains passed out about 20 minutes. He is woken up by his dog, which is running around and barking in a panic. He hears a kind of hissing sound and realizes that the craft is beginning to leave. Seconds later the UFO disappears. Taylor is unable to walk or talk properly after the event. He suffers from a headache, sickness, and pain in his chin for some hours afterward. Authorities are appointed to investigate the site and find tracks where Taylor says the smaller spheres were dragging him. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Robert Taylor incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FTaylor%5Fincident)”; NICAP, “Taylor Incident”; Steuart Campbell, “[Close Encounter in](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20Kingdom/BUFORA%20-%201979-1989%20Journal%20of%20Transient%20Aerial%20Phenomena/JTAP%20-%20%20Vol%201%20No%202%20-%20%20Mar%201980.pdf) [Scotland,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20Kingdom/BUFORA%20-%201979-1989%20Journal%20of%20Transient%20Aerial%20Phenomena/JTAP%20-%20%20Vol%201%20No%202%20-%20%20Mar%201980.pdf)” Journal of Transient Aerial Phenomena 1, no. 2 \(March 1980\): 43–46; Martin Keatman and Andrew Collins, “[Physical Assault by Unidentified Objects at Livingston, Part I,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201979%20V%2025%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 25, no. 6 \(April 1980\): 2–7; Martin Keatman and Andrew Collins, “[Physical Assault by Unidentified Objects at Livingston, Part](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%201.pdf) [II,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 26, no. 1 \(June 1980\): 25–28; Martin Keatman and Andrew Collins, “[Physical Assault](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%203.pdf) [by Unidentified Objects at Livingston, Part III,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 26, no. 3 \(September 1980\): 1–4; “A Scottish Abduction?” IUR/Frontiers of Science 2, no. 5 \(July/Aug. 1980\): 15–16; Steuart Campbell, “[Close](https://bufora.org.uk/documents/1982EncounteratLivingstonBUFORAResearchPaperNo.1LockwoodandBayer.pdf) [Encounter at Livingston,](https://bufora.org.uk/documents/1982EncounteratLivingstonBUFORAResearchPaperNo.1LockwoodandBayer.pdf)” ed., Charles F.

This UFO dropped two 1.5 foot naval mine-shaped objects with protruding spikes, which floated up to him and attached to his trousers leg. They began to drag him towards the landed craft. This was accompanied by a suction noise and a pungent odor,and at this point he passed out and remained unconscious for the next 40 minutes. He came to face down on the ground, and experienced a choking odor in the air, a blinding headache, a burning sensation on his chin, itching on his left thigh, and he felt extremely weak. After a few minutes he managed to crawl to his pickup truck and drive home. Ground traces were found at the landing site. He suffered lasting physiological effects including headaches, itching, thirst, and general weakness. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, 19800701; Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, 19800815; Fate magazine, June 1983, p 68; Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland: The Secret History of Scotland's UFO Phenomenon, p. 2; Patrick Huyghe, Field Guide to Extraterrestrials, p. 98; Jenny Randles, Little Giant Encyclopedia of UFOs, p. 93; UNICAT, case # 338; John F.

At the controls were pilot Javier Lerdo de Tejada, mechanic Francisco Javier Rodriguez, and Luis de Luque Torre. At 11:05 PM, the Barcelona flight control center asked them to switch to the emergency frequency. (...) At 11:08 PM, the crew reported to the Barcelona flight control center the presence of an unidentified object on their left (...) A few seconds later, the UFO began to approach the Supercaravelle strongly: it was about twice the size of a Jumbo and had two powerful red lights at its ends. Between 11:08 PM and 11:16 PM, the gigantic object remained at the height of the plane (...) approaching to 100 or 200 meters (...) the commander considered these maneuvers so dangerous that he forced the passengers to fasten their seatbelts and informed them "that he could not continue flying and was turning towards Valencia". At 11:50 PM, the plane landed at Manises airport. During the next two hours, more than 40 witnesses attested to the presence of three very strange lights that remained motionless above the airport fuel area. At 2 AM, an alert Mirage F1 took off from the Los LLanos air base in Albacete, piloted by Captain Fernando Camara. It stayed in the air for 1 hour and 45 minutes (...) and attempted to intercept three unidentified flying objects (unconfirmed information says that the pilot heard voices of children telling him to turn back). The first UFO was spotted and pursued by the fighter aviation towards the south-southeast. The second towards Aragon and the third towards the Columbretes Islands until Mahon. Between 2:30 AM and 3 AM, a resident of Soller (Mallorca) managed to photograph a UFO in the area of the Mont de l'Ofre. The two photographs were seized by the Air Force.

Pilot Francisco Javier Lerdo de Tejada and his crew notice a set of red lights that are fast approaching the aircraft. They appear to be on a collision course, alarming the crew. The captain requests information about the lights, but neither the Pegaso Defense Radar Center in Torrejón Air Base, Madrid, nor the flight control center in Barcelona can provide any explanation. In order to avoid a possible collision, the captain changes altitude. However, the lights mirror the new course and stay about 1,600 feet away from the plane. Since the object is violating all elementary safety rules and the crew considers an evasive maneuver impossible, the captain decides to go off-course and make an emergency landing at the Manises airport in Valencia. The lights abandon the pursuit just before the aircraft lands. However, three new UFO targets are detected by the radar, each one with an estimated diameter of 650 feet. The objects are seen by several witnesses. One of the UFOs passes very close to the airport runway, and emergency lights are lit by the land crew in case the object happens to be an unregistered flight experiencing difficulties. Because the object answers no attempts to communicate, a Mirage F-1 takes off at 2:10 a.m. from the nearby Los Llanos Air Base in Albacete to intercept the object. The pilot, Spanish Air Force captain Fernando Cámara, has to increase his speed to 920 mph just to achieve visual contact with what he sees as a truncated cone-shaped object. Despite his initial efforts, the object quickly disappears. Cámara is told of a new radar target, indicating that another object might be near Sagunto. When he is close enough, the object accelerates and disappears again. This time, though, the UFO seems to respond, and the Mirage has its electronic flight systems jammed. At last, and after a third intercept attempt, the UFO finally disappears, heading for Africa. After 90 minutes of pursuit, the pilot is forced to return to the base with no results. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Manises UFO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manises%5FUFO%5Fincident) [incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manises%5FUFO%5Fincident)”; NICAP, “[Spanish Radar Visual Case?

By the time the jet arrives in the vicinity, the target has disappeared. At 6:16 p.m., the pilot is heading back to Los Llanos when he sees three powerful red-yellow lights in the shape of a triangle about 12 miles away. They do not register on radar. In spite of chasing the lights at 720 mph, the Mirage cannot close the gap. During his descent into Los Llanos, some childish, laughing voices break into the UHF-1 channel linking him to Pegaso: “Hello, how are you? Hello, hello,” they say in Spanish.

I remember seeing a very bright object with red, green and blue lights arranged symmetrically on the flying craft. The UFO appeared on my right, preparing to cut me off at the exit of the curve. I then entered a kind of cloud blocking the road. I almost instantly came out of it and hit a road sign. I then got out of my vehicle to inspect the surroundings and check the damage. Nothing major prevented me from taking the road again. I quickly wanted to leave this cursed place that I did not like at all. I then drove for no more than 5 minutes and returned to my residence.

They had apparently come from a nearby hovering disc-shaped object, which was emitting a green light. The men wore green goggles, had communicators, and carried what appeared to be "machine guns." They all had very dark complexions. They spoke to the witness in Spanish and ordered him to cut off his penis with his machete. The witness apparently wandered the rest of the night in shock and was given medical treatment in the morning. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It appeared to emit some type of fog or vapor; the object then began blinking its lights on and off. The witnesses lost interest for a short time and left their viewing point and and went back to watching television. A few minutes later an intense white light flooded their living room from outside. Looking out, they could see some kind of luminous flat platform approaching the shoreline, and on top of the platform stood a four-foot-tall man. He wore a one-piece white outfit with gloves and boots, a very wide belt, and a large helmet with a dark visor that completely covered his face. The source of the white light was a luminous white sphere directly on top of the platform, which emitted some type of multicolored smoke. Upon seeing this the couple screamed, causing the platform and its occupant to return back to the hovering object offshore. At this point the witnesses returned back inside and did not see the object depart. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The first incident occurred when he filled up at the gas station. Coming out of the shadows, a voice ordered him to approach, which he did, to find himself face to face with a tall being with an ovoid head, bald, wearing a metallic-looking tight garment. The being ordered him to start. He obeyed, unable to oppose. On the hills overlooking Genoa he headed towards a small cloud descending from the sky and there his car was sucked into the cloud which turned out to be a giant spaceship. (...) Visit of the spaceship, cylinders with "a bird" and "a caveman" in a blue liquid. He was brought back to the ground. His colleagues, without news from him for five hours, had started looking for him. One of them suddenly saw a truncated cone-shaped craft take off and he drew his gun and fired several shots at the UFO. (...) With this fourth kidnapping, Fortunato Zanfretta's terrible experience came to an end. **Reference:** Jimmy GUIEU: "Our Masters the Extraterrestrials" - Presses de la Cité 1992 - p. 97, 98 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3054 ### Event 42734 (CF2A2FCC) **Date:** 12/2/1979 **Location:** Mt.

Zanfretta, age 27, was approached by a tall figure with an oval-shaped head who wore a loose fitting windbreaker. At the same time a fog like mist surrounded the gas pumps and the figure ordered Zanfretta to accompany him. Zanfretta obeyed, and he was eventually taken onboard a craft which had landed in a wooded area near Marzano. While flying over the area he was reportedly shown the earth from outer space, looking like a marble free-floating in space. The occupants of the craft also showed him numerous photographs of friends and others, whom he did not know. He was also shown a large glass cylinder filled with a blue liquid, inside of which floated a huge hairy ape-like "Bigfoot" creature. In another container he saw a horrible creature resembling a prehistoric pterodactyl. In yet a third container he saw a large toad-like creature. While onboard the craft he met a tall green-colored reptilian like humanoid who called himself "Dargos", whom he had met on a previous occasion. The tall humanoid reportedly offered Zanfretta a transparent sphere that contained a rotating golden pyramid as proof of their existence, but Zanfretta refused to accept it.

A thin cloud of smoke came from under the object and enveloped the object, causing it to disappear. When the craft was gone the paralysis went away. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Observation of a saucer near the ground by a pilot (December 9, 1979) Investigation by GEPAN/SEPR4 and testimony before the Ancien committee Former Lieutenant-Colonel of the Air Force, Jean-Pierre Fartek (F) was, at the time of the facts, a Mirage III pilot within the 2nd fighter squadron of Dijon. Today F is a pilot in a private company. F lived, and still lives, in the same village near Dijon. His house is located at the end of a subdivision overlooking the fields. About 250 m away is a cluster of trees with an average height of 15 m at most. On December 9, 1979 around 9:15 am, F and his wife observed an unusual object (called M afterwards) in the field near their house; the weather and visibility were excellent. M, which they estimated to be 20 m in diameter and 7 m thick, was hovering at about 3 m in height in front of the tree cluster, partially obscuring it. In perfect agreement with his wife, the witness F described it as:

- having the shape of two overlapping saucers with very sharp contours, without windows or lights, being gray metallic in color on the upper part, and darker (bluish) on the lower part, with a perfectly defined separation between the top and bottom of the craft. This difference in color could not be due to a difference in lighting, given the position of the sun, constantly animated by very slight oscillations, whose frequency was not very fast, like something seeking balance, making no noise, causing no turbulence on the ground either during stationary flight or at the time of departure, leaving no trace on the ground. After a period of observation that he appreciates with difficulty, F sees M oscillating more strongly, he has the impression that M is leaning slightly forward (as a helicopter does after takeoff at the beginning of horizontal translation). F sees M leaving horizontally, at very low altitude, without noise, without leaving a trail, at very high speed and disappearing on the horizon in a few seconds. F testified to the Air Gendarmerie of the Dijon Air Base. He believes that other people have observed the phenomenon without daring to testify, including his neighbors and their children who would have made the same observation. This observation, by a professionally well-informed pilot of aeronautical phenomena, has never received an explanation. **Reference:** COMETA Report, 1999 **Reference:** [_Mini catalogue chronologique des observations OVNI_, by Godelieve Van Overmeire](https://web.archive.org/web/20060107070423/http://users.skynet.be/sky84985/chrono.html) **Source:** Overmeire, **ID:** Overmeire_3055 ### Event 42760 (AB8556A8) **Date:** 12/9/1979 **Time:** 21:50 **Location:** KEOKUK, IA **Description:** 2 USCG men.

She saw a white light and lost consciousness. Under hypnosis she remembered flowing up a beam of light into a semi-circular room, aboard a craft. A being gave her a smock and she put it on without resistance, and then lay down on a table, while an unknown man laid on another table nearby. Instruments connected her to the man, and something like a blood transfusion occurred. A giant being in a black metallic suit relieved her pain by passing a had in front of her face. He told her telepathically that he came from 2.4 million light years away. Several months later she thought she recognized this same man in a crowd. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Thomas E.

Their memories returned only partially, but they seemed to have had 48 hours of missing time with an abduction aboard a UFO. The wife remembered being in some kind of operating room, lying naked on top of the examination table and unable to move. She saw her husband trying to enter the room but was prevented by a panel that rose from the floor and blocked him. The husband recalled being in a room with a Grey, faceless woman, five-foot ten inches tall who communicated with him via telepathy and refused to release him. Both remembered feeling cold and hearing the sound of an engine. Other partial memories included a man and a woman entering their house, and the feeling of being watched and threatened by an unseen presence. The couple was found incoherent and suffering various burns and other injuries that they never fully recovered from. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Howard Ford, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1982, p. 11; Thomas E.

The man’s hair remains charged with static for two days. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, “The Twelve UFOs of Christmas,” Fortean Times 374 \(Christmas 2018\): 29 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_6063 ### Event 42807 (2B0E01FB) **Date:** 12/29/1979 **Location:** North Area, IL **Description:** We had a call from the sheriff's department at 11:00 PM, and they said they were looking at a UFO.

A few minutes later, dozens of witnesses gathered to observe it as well. The thing's speed was phenomenal and it was flying at an angle of 30° in the sky. Due to its speed, it was difficult to get an exact idea of the object's shape. The back part was divided into a kind of trident with yellow and red colors. The whole shape was roughly similar to that of an electric arc with an approximate angular length of ten degrees relative to the celestial vault. Its brightness contrasted with the purity of the morning sky (Gilles DANJOU - Nostra - 18.11.1982)...; we were observing the clear sky at the Yun'nan Observatory. Suddenly the astronomers discovered at 20° from the zenith, a strange object flying from west to east. Its speed was similar to that of a high-altitude plane. We could not distinguish the shape of its nose, as the object was very high in the sky. What struck us the most was that behind it, we observed three streams of material particles in flames, very bright, red-yellow in color. From a distance, this object looked like an electric arc, with an angular length of 10°. At that moment the sun had not yet risen, an object of such brightness, emerging in the deep azure sky, offered a truly magnificent spectacle. During our observation we did not hear any noise. Judging by its way of flying, one could have taken this object for an airplane. (Apart from the astronomers of the Observatory, there were other witnesses)... **Reference:** SHI BO: "China and the Extraterrestrials", ed.

The electrical power seemed to be out and he heard his brother-in-law's dog growling outside. Looking out the window, he saw a luminous white mass approaching, and within the light he could see a human like figure. Stunned, he went to the window and saw the back of a very tall figure wearing a very tight-fitting luminous white coverall that accentuated its musculature. The head was round and was either bald or covered with a white helmet. The being's shoulders and chest area appeared wider than normal. He had what looked like several black dots on his upper back. His arms were at his sides. The figure seemed to move slowly at first, but after five minutes it appeared to glide quickly, disappearing over a nearby wall. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.
