There were humanoids | | inside the craft that were visible through windows, and a | | bluish-green ray was shot in the direction of the witness but missed. | | A white light lingered in the area for more than 30 seconds, then the | | UFO flew off toward the northwest.

Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950: January-March, p. 52). | | | | 1951 - Three men saw a one hundred foot long metallic cigar-shaped | | object over the city of New Delhi, India at 9:50 a.m. It gave off a | | black exhaust when it accelerated. The UFO flew toward the southwest | | and then vanished from sight. It was visible for over seven minutes. | | A Project Blue Book "unknown." (Source: U.S. Air Force files counted | | in official statistics, case #908). | | | | 1959 - A reddish yellow sphere stopped 100 meters over the Torino, | | Italy airfield at 11:00 p.m. It was pulsating and very bright, and | | hovered 20 minutes. (Sources: UFO Nachtrichten, September 1959; Larry | | Hatch, U computer database, case #5696, citing Flying Saucer Review, | | July 1959). | | | | 1965 - Mr. James Flynn, a 45-year-old man, was out in a boat with his | | hunting dogs in the Big Cypress Swamp in Florida when he encountered | | a metallic cone-shaped UFO at around one o'clock in the morning. The | | UFO had three rows of square windows and a yellow light. It made a | | generator-like sound, then emitted a jet-like sound followed by a | | blast of air. His dogs howled. Then a beam of light shot out from | | underneath the object, striking the witness in the forehead. He fell | | unconscious, and awoke with blindness in his right eye. Damaged | | foliage was found at the site, and Mr. Flynn was admitted to hospital | | for a five day stay. (Sources: Coral E.

(Source: Walter | | Buhler, FSR Case Histories, August 1971, p. 12). | | | | Lins, Brazil - 1969 | | | | [] | | | | 1974 - At 1:45 a.m. a man and his fiancé were in a parked car on a | | road near the shore in Erbalunga, Corsica, France when he looked up | | and saw on the roadside bank, only 10 feet from their car, the | | silhouettes of three persons with long arms, bending forward. 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. It had a brilliant yellow base | | separated by a black band from an orange point area; the point was | | directed diagonally downwards. Once the object was in the air it | | suddenly disappeared. The car's radio went out as the object took | | off. A search the next day found no traces. (Sources: David F. Webb & | | Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1974-69 | | (A1306), citing Gilles Morel, Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #157; | | Alain Gamard, UFO Register, volume 7 (1976), p. 44). | | 1974 - A man was sleeping in his van in Metairie, Louisiana after | | visiting a friend when he awoke at six o'clock in the morning to see | | a silver disc-shaped object hovering above a house across the street. | | It made no noise at all. His next memory was of getting out of the | | van. Later he had vague memories of sitting in some type of cold | | silvery metallic chair and having several "people" standing around | | him. He remembered that the "aliens" told him not to be afraid, and | | that someday they would be back. He could not recall anything else. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1974, citing | | Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | 1977 - 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. Mrs. Le Clair looked through binoculars and could | | see an elongated object, green on top and bottom, with a red band | | around the center. "There appeared to be another compartment on the | | bottom of this disc, and I could see windows in this lower part. | | There appeared to be a figure inside the object." After three minutes | | the UFO sped away. Other observers of the UFO failed to see the | | windows or the occupant. (Sources: Sturgeon Bay Advocate, March 17, | | 1977; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case 1977-14 (A1715), citing Thomas Heiman). | | | | 1999 - At 11:15 p.m. 18-year-old Rodrigo Friedrich was returning home | | from a party in Altonia, Parana, Brazil when he noticed what appeared | | to be numerous shiny stars in the sky. One of the “stars” began to | | descend at high speed. He at first thought it was a shooting star and | | ignored it. Forty minutes later, when he reached home, a bright glow | | attracted his attention about to a spot about a kilometer away. | | Curious, he approached and encountered a 30-meter wide disc-shaped | | object that was completely illuminated. Near the object where six | | short humanoids, running back and forth and seemingly looking for | | something. Rodrigo began to get a headache and tried to yell out to | | attract some additional witnesses, but with no success, so he left. | | As he walked away he looked back and saw the object climb into the | | sky at high speed. Several days later Rodrigo began experiencing | | nightmares in which he saw short, gray-colored humanoids. (Source: | | Albert S.
