A disc three times the apparent | | diameter of the sun, red and purple in color, and spinning rapidly, | | was seen descending swiftly toward the ground. It then vanished. | | There was an investigation of the incident by the local police. | | (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | p. 240, case 321; Jimmy Guieu, Flying Saucers Come from Another | | World, p. 232). | | | | 1954 - At 2:25 p.m. several workers in a field in Palagonia, Italy | | sighted a luminous translucent disc-shaped object with two red lights | | on top descend and then hover above them. From inside of the object | | an unknown creature (not described) could be seen staring at the | | workers. As the creature scrutinized them they became frightened. The | | object suddenly descended then shot back up into the sky, emitting a | | very loud sound as it quickly disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert | | S.

It had a dark area at one end, and two vertical black | | stripes in its midsection. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, case | | investigation files, report dated December 24, 1964; Raymond Fowler, | | UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 331). | | | | Arlington, Massachusetts - 1964 | | | | [image] | | | | 1966 - A cigar-shaped object with satellite objects was seen in | | Rushville, Indiana for over an hour by a group of women, beginning at | | 6:35 p.m. There were other UFO sightings by other witnesses at 7:30 | | p.m. and 8 p.m. (Source: APRO Bulletin, November-December 1966, p. | | 5). | | | | 1967 - In Santa Adelita, Sao Paolo State, Brazil Mr. P, age 51, was | | driving home at around 11:00 p.m. when he came to the top of a ridge | | he saw an aluminum colored object hovering 200 feet away, just four | | feet above the ground.  It was plate shaped with a convex bottom | | side, and about 30 feet in diameter. When he got to within 50 feet of | | it his car motor stopped. He described the object as "full of | | lights", red and other colors, which alternately blinked on and off. | | Standing near the saucer was a robustly built man about 5-1/2 feet | | tall, dressed in a light colored garment (the witness could not | | specify the color because he was color blind). This being walked in | | front of the witness and turned on a very bright white beam of light | | from a flashlight like object. The witness thought he would be | | assaulted, so he half opened the car door, steadied his .22 revolver | | on it, and fired 6 shots at the UFO occupant. He reported that he was | | a good shot with this revolver, and after shooting he could no longer | | see him. Then the saucer-shaped craft began to oscillate, and he | | heard a sound like a cowbell. At last, the UFO flew away on an | | oblique course. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-109 (A1791), citing Walter | | Buhler, SBEDV Bulletin, May 1976, p. 9). | | | | 1970 - 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. A ball of light 20 feet in diameter came down on a slope. | | Inside was a shiny, domed disc-shaped object. Its rim was a steel | | blue color. He had some lasting eye injury as the result of his | | encounter. (Source: Andre Liljegren, FSR Case Histories, April 1971, | | p. 4). | | | | Helleland, Norway Close Encounter - 1970 | | | | [image] | | | | 1972 - A metallic gray, domed disc was seen on a clear day by a young | | woman in Ghlin, Hainaut, Belgium at 10:40 a.m. It had a well-defined | | outline, and moved slower than a plane. It moved in a straight | | trajectory, from northwest to southwest. (Source: Vertongen Jean-Luc | | Vertongen, SOBEPS News, March 1976, p. 8). | | | | 1973 - At 5:20 p.m. Carlos Argue Balvidares, age 43, the manager of a | | country estate located 25 kilometers northeast of General Pinto, in | | Buenos Aires province, Argentina was drinking tea when his | | 13-year-old son Manuel called his attention to the presence of three | | people floating in the air over the surface of a pond 100 yards away. | | 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. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1973-117 (A1712), citing Omar R. Demattei, | | ONIFE). | | | | 1975 - An unknown helicopter with an orange light landed in a | | munitions storage area at Loring Air Force Base, Maine for the second | | night in a row.

Red lights | | rotated on the bottom of the object. When it left it shot straight | | up. (Source: Leonard H. Stringfield, Situation Red: The UFO Siege, p. | | 37). | | | | 1975 - Beginning at 10 p.m. an unknown object maneuved over the town | | of Sao Goncalo do Amarante, Ceara State, Brazil at low altitude for | | two hours, causing panic. It shot beams of blue and orange toward the | | ground; it stopped for a few minutes over a filling station, causing | | a power outage. (Source: Claude Bourtembourg, SOBEPS News, March | | 1976, p. 18). | | | | 1976 - At 8:25 p.m. six young men were out playing near a walled | | playing field next to a local cemetery in Baracaldo, Spain when | | they heard a loud crackling sound. 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. At this point the teens ran to tell their families and so did | | not see the object depart. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1976, case # 637, citing J. J. Benitez, La Quinta | | Columna). | | | | 1976 - A man was walking his dog in a local park in Toronto, Ontario | | at around 10 p.m. when a fluorescent bluish green light descended | | from the sky and enveloped him. He then saw something resembling a | | television screen in front of him. Soon images of apparently | | extraterrestrial figures appeared and communicated with the witness. | | His dog was terrified during the encounter and the witness suffered | | from general malaise afterwards. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1973, citing John Musgrave, UFO Occupants and | | Critters). | | | | 1977 - On this evening on Mosqueiro Island, near Colares, Para State, | | Brazil Benedito Campos and his 17-year-old wife Silvia Mara were at | | home when they spotted an oval-shaped, silvery object emitting a | | greenish beam, like a searchlight, towards the room where they were | | lying in bed. 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. | | (Sources: Richard F.

(Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle, October 2000 webpage, report uploaded August 16, 2002). | | | | 2002 - A witness named Ed reported that on the evening of October 29, | | at about 5:20 p.m., he sighted two triangle-shaped object flying over | | his home, located 15 miles southeast of Spokane, Washington. Ov the | | hills to the east he first noticed a very bright light on an object | | heading WSW. It had a bright white headlight, and what looked like | | normal red and green navigation lights on the wing tips, a white | | strobe light on the bottom, and dim white lights on the underside | | corners. He also heard what sounded like a muted jet aircraft engine | | sound. However, what seemed out of place was the extremely bright, | | single headlight on the nose, not the normal landing lights. Within a | | minute he saw a second similar craft with three dim lights in the | | corners, and no discernable fuselage. He contacted Fairchild AFB and | | talked with the Public Affairs officer, who basically said that | | unless an unidentified aircraft appeared on their radar, "we don't | | care!" He added, "I just want to emphasize that the B-2 and the F-117 | | fighter have a distinctive 'saw-tooth' pattern to the trailing edge | | of their wings. The craft which I observed appeared to have a | | perfectly straight trailing edge--just like a triangle and was at | | least as large as the B-2." (Source: George A.
