The sighting occurred ten miles northwest of | | Gulcana, Alaska at 10:13 p.m. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook | | UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1953 - At around 1 p.m. a huge white disc-shaped UFO with brilliant | | beams of light was seen over Marcillat-en-Combraille, Allier | | department, France. It shot up and away, leaving behind a red | | crescent-shaped object. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. | | 1953: August-December, p. 61). | | | | 1954 - On this morning a young girl, Miss Frassinetti, saw a luminous | | barrel hovering vertically over a nearby field in Predale, Casina, | | Italy. She said that a "man" was watching her through a window in the | | object. (Sources: Maurizio Verga, ITACAT: Italian UFO Catalogue; | | David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case A0354). | | | | 1954 - At 5:00 p.m. farmer Pedro Morais of Linha Bela Vista, Rio | | Grande do Sul, Brazil first noticed a disturbance among his chickens | | in the farmyard. He then saw a UFO shaped like an "enormous polished | | brass kettle" with a rectangular structure on top, making a sound | | like a sewing machine, hovering in the air with an oscillating | | motion. Two small humanoids "enveloped in a kind of yellow sack from | | head to toe" were standing in a nearby field. As he approached, one | | ran toward him, the other raised its arm. The first one knelt down | | and plucked a tobacco plant from the field, then both jumped into the | | craft, which vanished within a few seconds.

It was sighted by the crew | | of a U.S. Air Force F-86 from the 87th FIS and tracked by ground | | radar moving at a speed of Mach 1.5. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, | | Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 30). | | | | 1958 - On this day a fuselage-shaped object had landed on the sea ice | | on McMurdo Sound near Mount Erebus, Antarctica. It was supported by | | girder-like structures. A thirty-year-old U.S. Navy man named R. | | Benson saw two thin Grey beings, who were walking in slow circles | | near the craft, their long arms dangling to the ice. They had very | | long faces. His radio quit working. He did not file an official Navy | | report of his encounter. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A1543, citing Yvonne | | Durfield, Ideal UFO Magazine, March 1978, p. 44). | | | | 1963 - At 7:00 a.m. in McMinnville, Oregon Dr. W. W. Dolan, a | | professor of mathematics and astronomy, and dean of the faculty of | | Linnfield College watched a bright, star-like light slow, hover, dim | | and flash for one minute. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO | | Unknowns). | | | | 1965 - Charles Jones, who claims to be psychic and has frequently | | reported UFO sightings ever since 1947, was driving home between | | Sheridan and Lamong, Indiana at 1:05 p.m. when he saw a lighted | | object come down through the low clouds. It was shaped like a cigar, | | but with the rear end cut off on a bevel, and it bore a red and white | | blinking light. The front had a transparent surface and through it | | Jones could see a very stockily built, six-foot tall occupant. The | | being appeared to be hiding his face from the witness. He wore a | | tight-fitting headpiece, continuous with the coveralls, that obscured | | the hair and ears. Jones did however observe one eye, which he said | | was larger than normal sized and set more toward the side of the | | head. The face also had a wide nose and jowls. The complexion of the | | face was dark bronze, and the entity was wearing a one-piece brown | | coverall. The object was less than 60 feet off the ground and | | approximately 150 feef from the left side of the road, traveling | | north. (Sources: Janet Bord, FSR, May-June 1972, p. 20; David F. Webb | | & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1965-68). | | | | 1973 - A 54-year-old woman spotted an eleven-meter wide yellow | | dome-shaped object with striped dark bars from her residential | | neighborhood of Frameries, Hainaut, Belgium at 5:45 a.m. The object | | flew in front of the witnessat 12 meters altitude. It had 4 or 5 bars | | and small red and blue lights slowly flashing underneath every two | | seconds, plus two headlights. At 6:30 p.m. a luminous white | | disc-shaped object hovered in place over Dilbeek, Brabant, Belgium | | for a few minutes. It then swung silently around to show its edge, at | | the end of which flashed two red lights. The UFO climbed into the | | sky, leaving toward the northeast. There were three adult witnesses. | | (Source: Michel Bougard, SOBEPS News, May 1976, pp. 30-31). | | | | 1973 - At 6:30 p.m. an oval-shaped object with a tower or antenna on | | top, pulsated red over a pasture, a quarter of a mile north of | | Calvert, Texas. It was sighted by a mother and daughter named | | Smitherman, who reported it made a whooshing sound, took off fast, | | then landed again behind some trees. It left behind some landing | | traces on the ground. (Source: Calvert (TX) Tribune, December 20, | | 1973). | | | | 1975 - At 11:30 p.m. Bud Le Duc was driving home from Toppenish, | | Washington when his headlights fell on three very tall men standing | | beside the road. 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.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-62 (A1439), citing David W. | | Akers). | | | | 1978 - On this afternoon a police trooper in Avellino, Italy took a | | photograph of a round, possibly disc-shaped object that was directing | | an intense beam of energy at the ground. The photograph, taken from a | | highway patrol car, shows a black dot on white background. (Source: | | Jane Thomas, UFO Newspaper Clipping Service, March 1979, p. 14, | | citing Cronica, December 12, 1978). | | | | 1978 - A taxi driving on a road near the town of Navelli, Abruzzi, | | Italy was forced to brake at 10 p.m. when two luminous globes were | | blocking the road ahead. The engine of the vehicle then died. Two | | humanoids glided across the surface without touching the ground. | | (Source: Maurizio Verga, ITACAT: Italian UFO Catalogue). | | | | 1978 - On this night in Arembepe, Brazil a tall human-like figure | | with light colored skin, dark hair, and wearing a tight fitting | | silvery suit and boots was seen coming out of a metallic basin-shaped | | object about 12 meters in diameter that had landed in a field. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing | | Antonio Faleiro, Brazil). | | | | 1979 - At 2:00 in the afternoon a 64-year-old husband and wife, | | "Melvin" and "Naomi", were at their mountain home near Lake Isabella, | | 35 miles from Bakersfield, California watching television when both | | suddenly passed out. 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. (Sources: Howard Ford, | | MUFON UFO Journal, March 1982, p. 11; Thomas E. Bullard, UFO | | Abductions: The Measure of A Mystery, case 54). | | | | 1994 - Two observers in Tiete, Sao Paolo State, Brazil watched a | | luminous greenish sphere land nearby them at 11:00 p.m.. Two humanoid | | figures appeared next to the object. They were described as 1.20 | | meters tall, with very pale skin and four-fingered hands, large | | staring eyes, and two small holes for a nose. One of the witnesses | | directed a flashlight at the figures, and a beam of light from the | | object immediately disabled it. The beings and the object then left. | | Crushed grass was found at the scene. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1994, case # 2364, citing Brazilian UFO | | Report, Vol. 1, No. 1). | | | | 2000 - Three formations of UFOs, 25-30 in each, flew slowly at high | | altitude over Zurish, Switzerland on this evening. They had various | | golden-yellow and green lights. The formations were in an irregular | | pattern something like an elongated egg shape.
