They flew straight and level | | for a short period of time, but they had to rise to pass over tall | | tanks on the ground. They made no sound, and weaved left to right as | | they flew. Four DuPont workers were the witnesses. (Sources: Project | | Blue Book Report #7, May 31, 1952; Project Blue Book files counted in | | official statistics, case 1198; George D.

The UFO was half the length of the F3D-s | | (which is 22 feet long), had a wing span about equal to it (20 feet), | | and had a third fin on its upper half. It was the color of gun metal. | | A Project Blue Book "unknown."

It descended to just 10 feet above the ground. Thin, bony | | looking humanoids, seven to eight feet tall, emerged from the object | | wearing transparent clothing. They communicated using telepathy. | | (Source: Ann Drufel, MUFON UFO Journal, August 1978, p. 16). | | | | 1957 - At 10:45 p.m. a 29-year-old man named Fekete was bicyling home | | along a road in Beaucourt-sur-Ancre, France when he was temporarily | | blinded by a light from above. Together with three of this neighbors, | | he saw a pulsating object on the ground with the silhouettes of three | | short men (4-5 feet tall) with large heads and a torrering gait. The | | light rose into sky when a car passed. A circular ground mark was | | found at the landing site. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and | | the Straight Line Mystery, p. 211, Ouranos, issue #21). | | | | 1966 - In Marisela, an area of Caracas, Venezuela a man observed the | | landing of an oval-shaped object and two beings at 4:52 p.m. The | | beings emerged from the object through a system of light beams. The | | creings used strange instruments to examine a number of objects, | | especially some plants. They were two meters tall, had oversized | | heads, and appeared bright and "transparent." Their eyes were slanted | | and they had very broad shoulders. They wore no apparent weapons, but | | their belts were very wide and emitted light rays. They did not touch | | anything without first illuminating it with these beams. They went | | back aboard their craft "as if carried by the light." (Source: | | Jacques Vallee: Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case | | 768). | | | | 1966 - At 10:00 p.m. on or about this date, a crowd of people in | | Atafona Campos, Brazil were watching an outdoor movie when an unknown | | aerial object crashed and exploded. They panicked, thinking at the | | time it was perhaps related to an earthquake. According to the | | police, a sulphurous odor and a hole in the ground 25 cm deep and 35 | | cm wide were noted at the site. (Source: Jacques Vallee: Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 767). | | | | 1967 - At 8:30 p.m. southeast of the town of Combs-la-Ville, France a | | 1.5 meter pyramid shaped UFO landed on a road by the railroad tracks, | | and then illuminated the surrounding area. (Source: Phenomenes | | Spatiaux, December 1967). | | | | 1968 - On this night in Galesburg, Illinois Grant Callison and his | | wife noticed three winged beings flying at an estimated altitude of | | 500 feet. The beings appeared to be covered with feathers or metallic | | scales which acquired an odd fluorescence as they reflected light | | from the local street lamps. The strange trio lacked necks of any | | sort and had short, conical tails. There were other sightings of the | | same creatures in the area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1968, # 2106, citing Scott Corrales, Unsolved UFO | | Sightings, Fall 1995). | | | | 1977 - A three and a half year old girl, Maria do Socorro, had | | accompanied her grandmother while she did laundry in Serra Branca, | | Paraiba state, Brazil and then vanished suddenly at around 11:00 a.m. | | She was missing for 22 hours. She mysteriously turned up at the | | doorsteps of her family's garden. She said she had seen a beautiful | | woman with a white scarf on her head and was irresistibly attracted | | to a strong beam of light which the lady ran behind. The lady spoke | | to the child but she "did not open her mouth to talk." Friends and | | neighbors spent an entire day searching the area where she had last | | been seen, without finding a trace. It was assumed by all involved | | that the phenomenon had an apparently extraterrestrial cause, but no | | UFO was seen. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-26, citing Noticias | | Populares, a Brazilian newspaper). | | | | 1978 - A UFO abduction occurred in a forest in Emilcin, Lublin, | | Poland sometime after 7:00 a.m. The abductee, a 71-year-old man named | | J. Wolski, encountered a UFO shaped like a bus, making a humming | | sound. The humanoid had a greenish color and wore a black helmet. | | (Sources: Dennis Stacy, Field Guide to UFOs, p. 100, citing Fate, | | September 1994; UNICAT database, case 002, citing International UFO | | Reporter, November 1983, p. 13). | | | | 1978 - At 10:50 p.m. the witness was walking home alone in Pelotas, | | Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil when he observed a very bright object in | | the sky that began to descend at a high speed. The object came low | | over a nearby fenced field, and he could now see that it was a shiny | | circular metallic craft within a fiery ball of flames. The craft | | continued to descend, and projected two bright beams of white light | | to the ground and extended four metallic legs. The area around the | | witness seemed to darken, and he felt compelled to walk towards the | | fence. He was quickly grabbed by two short humanoids who wore shiny | | white tight fitting suits. Their heads were enclosed in helmets with | | closed visors and with two small antennas protruding from the top. | | The beings spoke to the witness, then took him inside the craft. | | | | Once inside he started having difficulty breathing and noticed that | | the air seemed warmer and dense. The room was illuminated by a bright | | light. It was at this point that he noticed two more beings seated at | | a strange looking console. The beings walked over to him and he was | | surprised to see that they were female dressed in shiny white suits, | | with attractive capes made of the same material. These also wore | | helmets with antennas. They were a little taller than the other | | humanoids and had hair down to their shoulders. One had black hair | | and the other was blond. The black haired female approached the | | witness and told him that he was going to be taken to their planet. | | The witness declined the invitation and begged to be released. At | | this point the blond woman walked over and ordered the others to let | | him go. He was then allowed to walk out and down a stairway to the | | ground. He stood on the ground and watched while the object ascended | | at high speed and vanished. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1978, # 1621 citing Casellato, Da Silva and Stevens, | | UFO Abduction at Botucato). | | | | 1989 - At just after midnight a 38-year-old male and a 16 year-old | | female driving in Farmington, Michigan were pursued by a silvery disc | | with a greenish tinge. Electromagnetic interference effects were | | reported. (Source: Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, | | 1988-1994, citing Robert Gribble, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle). | | | | 1989 - La Venta del Astillero, Zapopan, Mexico - Apolonio Perez was | | awakened at 2:15 a.m. while sleeping in his camper by an extremely | | bright white light that illuminated the surrounding area. Worried | | about possible intruders, he searched the camper but found nothing. | | He returned to his bed, but a few seconds later a pencil-thin beam of | | white light lit the left side of his face. He heard a sound | | resembling a welder's torch and felt facial pain. Frightened, it | | occurred to him that he could be having another encounter with the | | occupants of a UFO he had seen years before. As he lay there he next | | felt a jolt of electricity in his body. Upset and in pain, Perez | | cursed at whoever was responsible for his pain, and moments later he | | received a third powerful electrical jolt. He stood up and managed to | | open the door of his camper just as the white light seemed to dim and | | vanish. The next day he experienced severe headaches and the left | | side of his face became swollen and began to bleed. For the next two | | weeks he had a severe rash on his face that eventually left permanent | | scaring. He would experience further encounters. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1989, citing Luis Ramirez Reyes, | | Contacto: Mexico). | | | | 1989 - Later that evening, at around 7:45 p.m., an elderly motorist | | was driving in an isolated area of Bautista Canyon, California when | | she saw a luminous 30-foot wide mushroom-shaped craft descend and | | hover just above some nearby power lines. She stopped her car and | | observed six to eight beings emerge from the craft and begin to work | | repairing the outside of the object. After 10 minutes they re-entered | | the object, which departed at high speed emitting a loud humming | | sound and a burst of blue flame. They were reports of electrical | | outages in the area at the time. (Sources: Paul Ferrughelli, Computer | | Catalog of UFO Reports, 1988-1994, citing a newspaper clipping; | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1989, citing Debbie | | Steinberg, in Timothy Good (ed.) The UFO Report 1991, p. 225). | | | | 1993 - In the pre-dawn hours of the night six witnesses on a road | | west of Fortaleza, Ceara State, Brazil recorded three hours of | | videotape of a nocturnal object which had several satellite objects | | exit from it and then merge back into it. (Source: Bob Pratt, UFO | | Danger Zone: Terror and Death in Brazil--Where Next? p. 291). | | | | 1994 - Two cows were found dead and mutilated at the Hronich Ranch | | near Eagle Nest, New Mexico. Dr. Altshuler, a veterinarian from | | Denver, Colorado involved in cattle mutilation investigations, | | arrived at the site within 10 hours, and his forensic analysis | | revealed that the two animals had cooked hemoglobin and cauterized | | incisions. Both animals also had had pneumonia. (Source: Christopher | | O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 239). | | | | 1994 - At around 11:00 p.m. three villagers in Sagrado Corazon, | | Cosolapa, Mexico watched a large white light come from some nearby | | hills and land a few meters away. A short humanoid creature exited | | from the object. The humanoid was dressed all in white and had a | | shiny belt and helmet that constantly changed colors. When one of the | | villagers attempted to approach, the humanoid climbed back into the | | object. Minutes later a boy threw a rock at the object, which | | promptly dimmed and took off, flying back towards the hills at a high | | speed and quickly disappearing from sight. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1994, case # 2040, citing Dr. R. | | A. Lara, Samizdat, Vol. 2 # 4). | | | | 1999 - A man was awakened at 3:00 a.m. by a barking dog and a strange | | humming sound outside his home in Oak Ridge, North Carolina. He and | | another witness discovered an object, sitting in the sky just above | | the tree line. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting | | Center, Seattle, May 1999 web archive). | | | | 1999 - On this evening Manuel Jimenez was driving on Route N-3333 on | | his way back to Los Arenales, Spain when he noticed a bright | | spherical light flying low over the area. Thinking it was a plane, he | | continued driving. Five minutes later he saw a bright spherical | | object resting on the ground in a nearby field, about 200 meters | | away. Two short figures wearing shiny metallic outfits stood next to | | it. Sr. Jimenez stopped his truck and watched the incredible scenario | | for awhile. Apparently the little men noticed the witness, because | | they quickly entered the lighted sphere, which then shot up into the | | sky at an incredible speed leaving a luminous trail behind. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1999, case # 3458, | | citing Jose Manuel Garcia Bautista). | | | | 1999 - At 10:30 p.m. an object flew back and forth through the sky | | over Grantsville, West Virginia before emitting a giant ray of light | | like a huge spotlight.
