He stepped out his door and saw three of the same short | | entities he had a frightening encounter with earlier that month at | | Bebedouro, Minas Gerais, Brazil dressed in the same flightsuits. They | | stood motionless, looking at him. He quickly stepped back inside and | | bolted the door, without saying a word or hearing a sound from them. | | He then explained to investigators that they wanted him to "work | | against my own people" and expressed his great fear that our world | | was in great danger, without knowing from where the danger would | | come.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1969-38, citing Hulvio Brant Aleixo, FSR, | | November-December 1973, & Dr. Walter Buhler). | | | | 1971 - A man was driving home near West Leisenring, Pennsylvania at | | 1:10 a.m. and he had just rounded a bend in the rural road when he | | noticed an unusual object hovering 20 feet above the ground. 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.

She | | reported being taken aboard the UFO where she was given intensive | | medical examinations and had several body samples taken. Among other | | procedures they scraped her skin, and drew fluid from one of her | | eyes. The occupants were short, about four feet tall, and had large | | hairless heads with large dark almond-shaped eyes. They also wore | | uniforms that resembled police uniforms. (Sources: Thomas E. Bullard, | | UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case 093, citing the San | | Antonio (Texas) Light, March 20, 1983; John F.

Mansell, Awareness, October 1977, p. 19). | | | | 1977 - Two close encounters involving UFOs with coherent light beams | | occurred on this night in Dorset county, England. At 10:55 p.m. Mr. | | Morse, age 26, witnessed a large silver disc-shaped object that | | hovered over a field in Canford Heath, Poole, England. A green cone | | of light extended from the object as a coherent beam of light. It | | flew off to the west. Fifteen minutes later a car with two | | 30-year-old women was followed by another disc between Longham and | | Wimborne in the Dorset countryside. It had a solid beam that cut | | through the terrain. The energy beam had a definite, abrupt end to | | it. The disc dropped to the ground, but the women did not stay around | | to investigate. There were six other sightings reported that night in | | the area.

Jack's | | dog wanted to go out and when he let the dog outside, late on this | | evening, he noticed a blue light shining through the kitchen window. | | He went outside and saw a glowing object hovering over a nearby | | field. He recalled walking back inside the house. Under hypnosis he | | recalled that several short beings with large heads and eyes entered | | his bedroom. The beings lifted Jack and his wife and floated them | | towards a bright light. They were taken in front of the large | | hovering object that glowed a bright blue from its bottom. It hovered | | silently and there was a strong smell of ozone in the air. They were | | both taken inside the object and given medical exams by the beings. A | | lump was allegedly discovered and the cyst removed. Later they were | | both floated across the lawn, into their house and back inside | | through the unopened front door. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, MUFON | | UFO Journal, April 1993). | | | | 1990 - On this evening a disc flying from the southwest to the | | northeast was involved with a near collision with a KC-135 tanker | | aircraft over Lancaster, California.
