Their speed was estimated to be | | 900 kilometers per hour. The report was one of the early cases | | investigated by the FBI. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, January | | 1978, p. 3). | | | | 1954 - Jets were scrambled but could not reach a hovering craft at | | high altitude in the sky between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, | | Maryland. (Source: Richard Dolan, UFOs and the National Security | | State: A chronology of a cover-up 1941-1973, p. 407). | | | | 1958 - At 10:46 a.m. airport weather observer O. R. Foster in Pueblo, | | Colorado using a theodolite, sighted a domed disc-shaped object. It | | was silver in color but gave off no metallic luster. It flew overhead | | for five minutes. (Source: Project Blue Book files counted in | | official statistics, case # 5852; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO | | Unknowns). | | | | Pueblo, Colorado - 1958 | | | | [image] | | | | 1964 - Charles Englebrecht, age 18, went outside at 9:30 p.m. in | | Dale, Indiana when his TV and all house lights suddenly failed. He | | saw a glowing blue-white object, about 30-cm in diameter, land about | | 18 meters away in a field. He felt a mild electric shock when he | | tried to approach it and was unable to move forward toward the | | object. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, p. 300 (case 613)). | | | | 1964 - That same evening at 9:30 p.m. three prominent citizens of | | Salta, Argentina--a lawyer, an engineer, and a businessman--were | | driving along highway 9 when a rectangular shaped UFO, reddish-orange | | in color, dove down several times in front of them. The first time | | the UFO caused such tremendous condensation on all their windows that | | they had to stop and wipe the windows. When the thing reappeared they | | saw that it was about 16 feet high, 20 feet wide, and had what | | appeared to be two big blades revolving clockwise as it flew along | | silently above the road. Some distance ahead there was a stationary | | rectangular dark red light about 50 cm square. To their amazement | | they saw the larger object scoop up this light and vanish at high | | speed. (Source: Gordon Creighton, "Argentina 1963/64--Part IV", FSR, May | | 1966, p. 25). | | | | 1965 - On this night a domed disc shaped object, yellow-orange in | | color, was sighted by Bob Young and four others in Dry Fork, Utah. It | | flew overhead for five minutes. (Source: Frank Salisbury, The Utah | | UFO Display, Appendix case no. 4). | | | | Dry Fork, Utah - 1965 | | | | [image] | | | | 1967 - A man sitting in his yard in Eastern Henrico County, Virginia | | saw a bright UFO overhead that dropped a substance that struck his | | arm. He received burns on his arm and the left side of his face. | | (Source: Flying Saucers, April 1968, p. 29). | | | | 1968 - At 45 minutes after midnight Mr. Pedro Pretzel, a 36-year-old | | hotel proprietor in the resort town of Villa Carlos Paz, Cordoba, | | Argentina sighted a UFO with two very intense beams of red light | | while walking home. A short while later his 19-year-old daughter | | Maria, who had been working as the hotel receptionist, encountered a | | six and a half foot tall blond man dressed in a sky blue diver suit, | | holding a sky blue sphere in his left hand. On his right hand was a | | huge ring, like a gauntlet covering half his hand. The ends of his | | fingers and toes emitted light, and whenever he pointed his hand at | | her she felt faint and began to lose consciousness. He smiled and | | spoke to her in an unintelligible language for some minutes before | | leaving.

Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-32, citing FSR). | | | | 1968 - A few hours later in Cabanas, Cuba a soldier fired 48 rounds | | from his machine gun at a landed UFO. Shortly after midnight several | | bursts of machine gun fire were heard coming from a location in the | | vicinity where militia member Isidro Puentes Ventura was on guard | | duty. At dawn, Puentes was found unconscious by an Army patrol and | | taken to a hospital in Pinar Del Rio, where he remained in shock and | | unable to speak for six days. Removed to the neurological ward at the | | Naval Hospital in Havana, Puentes was diagnosed to be suffering from | | emotional trauma, remaining in shock for another week. At the site | | where Puentes had been posted, Cuban and Soviet intelligence | | investigators found forty-eight spent cartridges and fourteen bullets | | apparently flattened by impact, as well as equally spaced | | indentations in the ground, indicating that a heavy device had | | landed. At the landing site three indentations were found suggesting | | tripod landing gear, inscribing a circle about four meters in | | diameter. Tests revealed that the soil had been exposed to a high | | degree of heat. | | | | When Puentes recovered consciousness he reported that he had come to | | within 150 feet of a brilliant disc-shaped object on the ground, with | | a dome and several antennas on top. Convinced that the device was an | | American helicopter, Puentes fired at it. The craft turned orange and | | emitted a loud whistling sound, Puentes last recollection before | | losing consciousness. Soviet intelligence specialists subjected | | Puentes to a fifty-hour interrogation after which he was examined by | | a team of psychiatrists and put through fifteen hypnosis sessions. No | | contradictions were found in his story.

A semi-hysterical woman | | phoned the Celano, Italy police station reporting that three huge, | | disc-shaped UFOs were hovering outside of town. The objects glowed a | | pale red. Lt. Germonde took the call. Minutes later other witnesses | | reported seeing "spinning discs" the size of houses slowly descend to | | the ground in a wooded area near the town. But soon it got much | | weirder. Lt. Germonde received a call from a bar-restaurant owner | | reporting "huge birds with tiny wings and with faces like humans." | | According to the witness there were four or five huge birds or flying | | humanoids flying towards Celano. The strange creatures were described | | as three-feet in height and flying upright, as if they were men being | | propelled above the ground by some unknown force. No wings were | | visible, only a blur above their shoulders like the fast-moving wings | | of a hummingbird. Whatever kept them flying was small and moving very | | fast. The creatures reportedly flew at a height of only a few feet | | above the ground. They appeared to have trouble moving in heavily | | wooded areas. Their faces were reported to have been human like, but | | contained blank looks. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1968, citing Richardo Salvador, The Ohio Sky Watcher & Roger | | Veillith). | | | | 1968 - Late on this same night in La Armonia, Argentina a man was in | | his bed resting when two very tall human looking figures appeared in | | his room. They were thin and wore tight-fitting green shiny | | coveralls. The men sat on the edge of the witness's bed and one of | | them raised his hand making the witness feel dizzy, he then lowered | | it and the witness felt better, they then left. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, case #1324, citing Hector P. | | Anganuzzi, Historia De Los Platos Voladores en Argentina). | | | | 1969 - At 2:30 a.m. in Tucson, Arizona four people saw a glowing red | | light in the northwest sky. It flew from 30 degrees elevation and | | passed near zenith overhead. One witness viewed the object through | | binoculars, and he described a point source coming out of the light, | | orbiting, and then re-entering. Someone shot some motion picture film | | of the object. (Source: APRO Bulletin, July-August 1968, p. 8). | | | | 1974 - 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 same or | | similar object was seen zigzagging over Nashua airport. (Source: Center for | | UFO Studies case investigation files, received July 17, 1974). | | | | 1974 - Earlier that same day, Santiago Pulido Romero, age 46, was | | driving to his father's farm in Medellin, Spain at 4:30 a.m. when he | | saw a bright light, then a "pot-shaped" object flying rapidly towards | | him at a low altitude. 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. Inside the | | turret he could see three beings more than two meters tall, moving | | stiffly, with something like helmets on their heads. The object was | | in view for more than 90 minutes and was seen by others. It departed | | as the sun rose. (Source: Eileen Buckle, Spanish UFO Fiesta, FSR, December | | 1974, p. 6). | | | | 1974 - At 10:15 p.m. in Wallers, France a dark object and some | | nocturnal lights were sighted low behind some trees. Two lights flew | | all over the place, while a huge ball of light was seen to land. | | Ground traces were reportedly found at the site. (Source: Lumieres | | dans la Nuit, December 1976). | | | | 1978 - At 10:40 p.m. a 60-foot diameter disc directed beams of light | | at two boys in Williamson, West Virginia. The boys found they were | | paralyzed and couldn't move. They reported an episode of missing | | time. Others heard an odd noise while this was taking place. (Source: | | MUFON UFO Journal, June 1988). | | | | 1980 - There were over 30 reports of luminous ring-shaped UFOs from | | Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay and Brazil this evening. At around 7 p.m. twenty kilometers west of | | Junin, Argentina a circular object approached a car with five people | | inside from behind, forcing the driver to pull over. The object was | | dark in the center with luminous white points around the rim. It | | descended by the highway with a vertical motion and hung about 1.5 | | meters above the ground. It left a trail of white smoke. (Source: UFO | | Newsclipping Service, July 1980, p. 12, citing La Razon, June 18, | | 1980, translated by Jane Thomas). | | | | 1980 - At the same time pilots, crew, and passengers of some | | commercial airplanes were forced to delay their takeoffs while a UFO | | flew toward the Ezeiza, Argentina runway. It nearly crashed into a | | building, but gained altitude and flew away. It was tracked on radar | | at the Jorge Newbery airport in Ezeiza. (Source: UFO Newsclipping | | Service, July 1980, p. 11, citing Cronica, June 17, 1980, translated | | by Jane Thomas). | | | | 1980 - At 7:05 two reporters for the La Capital newspaper in Rosario, | | Argentina said that a "fleet of flying saucers" was seen by several | | witnesses and themselves from Independencia Park. One was shaped like | | a "teething ring", the second was smaller and white in color, and the | | third object was like a dot with a halo around it. (Sources: UFO | | Newsclipping Service, July 1980, p. 9, citing Cronica, June 15 & 16, | | 1980, translated by Jane Thomas; Alan Hendry, International UFO | | Reporter, September 1980, pp. 15-16). | | | | 1984 - At 10:30 p.m. guards at the Indian Point nuclear power plant | | on the Hudson River, New York sighted a dark disc-shaped object with | | lights, 30 feet in diameter, that stayed over the nuclear reactor for | | 15 minutes. It finally flew away toward the northeast. (Source: J. | | Allen Hynek & Philip Imbrognio, Night Siege, p. 143). | | | | 1992 - Topanga Canyon, California -- According to the Lost | | Hills/Malibu sheriff's office, a badly shaken man reported that an | | unidentified bright light followed him and his girlfriend sometime | | after midnight in Topanga Canyon. "Suddenly it was over us, we lost | | control of the car and it lifted us up in the sky--lifted us over the | | ground." What happened next was vague, according to the driver, who | | reckons they both lost memory for "maybe a couple of minutes, and | | then we were put down. Suddenly it wasn't there anymore." Shortly | | afterwards another call was received by the Sheriff's office from | | another witness, who together with his girlfriend saw three flying | | disks high up in the Canyon. "They were following us above the car, | | and we stopped and got out…we watched them and within maybe three | | seconds, they were gone--straight up into the air." (Source: Timothy | | Good, Alien Update, pp. 271-272; Preston Dennett, UFOs over Topanga | | Canyon, p. 271). | | | | 1992 - At 10:30 that same evening in Topanga Canyon, California in | | the area called Saddlepeak over 200 glowing spheres and oval shaped | | object were seen rising from behind a ridge, one-by-one. The objects | | darted across the sky in different directions, sometimes making right | | angle turns. (Source: Preston Dennett, UFOs over Topanga Canyon, p. | | 271). | | | | 1995 - At 9:00 a.m. a flat topped silver disc flew slowy toward the | | east over Holley, Florida making no sound. It shot away at high | | speed. Two jets were next seen, apparently following it. (Source: | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #334). | | | | 2005 - The main witness, June Mark M. Sepe, and some friends | | were camping near some woods in a small clearing next to Lake Nice | | Francisco in Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental, The Philippines. After | | dinner they sat around the campfire planning their next day | | activities. At around 9:20 p.m. they were surprised to see a | | car headlight like light glowing behind some trees. They went closer | | to investigate and came upon a landed cone-cylindrical shaped craft, | | with no visible doors or windows. It stood about 8-10 feet high and | | was resting on top of what appeared to be tripod landing gear. No | | sound came from the craft, but they heard some rustling of grass and | | leaves, which came from three human looking beings making repairs on | | the craft. They were wearing metallic silver jumpsuits and black | | “bonnet-like helmets.” The men hid in the bushes and observed the | | scene for about 15-20 minutes when they heard a voice call out from | | within the craft. They could not understand the language, but the | | quality of the voice was soft and metallic like. After awhile the | | three beings went back into the craft, entering through the bottom of | | the craft, and they appeared to quickly float upwards (just like | | being sucked up by a vacuum cleaner). There was a high-pitched | | swooshing and humming noise, and then the craft lifted off and shot | | out of the forest, and at the same time the witnesses felt a gust of | | cool wind. One of the witnesses attempted to photograph the object | | with his mobile phone, but the picture was totally blurry. The five | | other witnesses were Rodel Rulona, William Gomez, John Rabuyo, Jude | | Igar, and Rolly de Gracia. (Source: Albert S.
