The object made a vertical | | takeoff. Three holes were later found in the soil at the site of the | | landing. (Sources: Keith Basterfield, UFO Research South Australia, | | citing investigator A. Seer; Richard H.

It was after dark and the cars were using | | their headlights. Jacques suddenly saw a man at least eight feet tall | | in the light of his car's headlights, standing by the roadside. This | | being was milky white in color, as if wearing a tight white coverall, | | and his round head was without hair or facial features. | | Panic-stricken, Jacques drove on past; then, reconsidering, he turned | | around and drove back. He followed the same route but he saw nothing | | more of the man. Meanwhile Pierre, noticing that Jacques was no | | longer following him, had gone back to look for him. He saw a white | | headlight beam and a red light pass in front of him in the distance, | | apparently on the road, but silently, and it disappeared before | | reaching an intersection. Then Jacques showed up in his car. When | | they compared their stories and retraced his route, it was discovered | | that Jacques could only account for eight of the 11 minutes he had | | been gone. He was therefore interviewed later under hypnosis. In a | | hypnotic trance he recalled that he had gotten out of the car and | | watched the being for 3.5 minutes, and had felt that he was | | benevolent. He also said that there had been a big yellowish white | | light in the field, which "quickly disappeared." The being suddenly | | vanished, after which the witness returned to his car and to his | | conscious recollection of events. (Source: David F.

(Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, | | issue 212). | | | | 1979 - At 3:25 a.m. four police officers from Rickmansworth, England | | in two separate patrol cars chased a long luminous cigar-shaped | | object at 500 feet altitude for over two hours. The object flew off | | toward the southeast. A balloon cover story was later released to | | explain their sighting.

They had apparently come from a nearby | | hovering disc-shaped object, which was emitting a green light. The | | men wore green goggles, had communicators, and carried what appeared | | to be "machine guns." They all had very dark complexions. They spoke | | to the witness in Spanish and ordered him to cut off his penis with | | his machete. The witness apparently wandered the rest of the night in | | shock and was given medical treatment in the morning. (Sources: David | | F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | A2227; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # 323, | | citing Robert E. Bartholomew, UFO Lore). | | | | 1979 - On the same night a couple staying in a beachfront cabin in El | | Combate, Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico saw a bright, multicolored | | oval-shaped object hovering above the water ½ mile off shore. It | | appeared to emit some type of fog or vapor; the object then began | | blinking its lights on and off. The witnesses lost interest for a | | short time and left their viewing point and and went back to watching | | television.  A few minutes later an intense white light flooded their | | living room from outside. Looking out, they could see some kind of | | luminous flat platform approaching the shoreline, and on top of the | | platform stood a four-foot-tall man. He wore a one-piece white outfit | | with gloves and boots, a very wide belt, and a large helmet with a | | dark visor that completely covered his face. The source of the white | | light was a luminous white sphere directly on top of the platform, | | which emitted some type of multicolored smoke. Upon seeing this the | | couple screamed, causing the platform and its occupant to return back | | to the hovering object offshore. At this point the witnesses returned | | back inside and did not see the object depart. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # 70, citing Jorge | | Martin, Enigma, issue # 1). | | | | 1982 - In Botucatu, State of Sao Paolo, Brazil Joao Valeiro da Silva | | was awakened at 2:00 a.m. by a noise in his backyard. He opened the | | door and was confronted by two strange little men and a woman, each | | about three feet tall, and wearing brilliant blue coveralls. They | | approached him, holding their palms upward as if to show they carried | | no weapons. Despite the friendly gesture the witness fainted, and | | nobody missed him until early next morning when his brother Simeon | | awoke early at 5:00 a.m. and tiptoed into his room to borrow some | | antacid medicine. He noticed Joao was missing and what looked like | | signs of a struggle, so he awakened the household. His family found | | Joao lying outside, nude and unconscious, and alongside him was his | | clothing in a rumpled pile. They rushed him to hospital where he | | recovered two hours later. Although Joao did not remember being taken | | onboard a craft, he remembered that he found himself in a | | hospital-like operating room, and the same small beings were there | | that had appeared at his door. They wore clothing that looked it was | | made from a rubber material. They talked to him and led him to a wall | | bearing an outline of a human form. The beings would look at the | | drawing and then at him, as if comparing the two. Then they left. A | | naked girl then entered the room. She had long hair, was tanned or | | dark, and carried an instrument about a foot long. When she grasped | | his head he lost consciousness. An subsequent interview with his | | family disclosed that a "sickly smelling oily substance" had covered | | his nude body. Da Silva also complained that his genitals "were | | burning". (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1982, | | citing Gray Barker's UFO Annual 1983). | | | | 1989 - At 9:20 p.m. a delta-shaped object passed low over a road | | south of Plombieres, Belgium.

(Source: Dan Wright, MUFON UFO Journal, May 1990, p. 21, | | citing Carol and Rex Salisberry, case # 900422B). | | | | 1989 - Two very large triangular objects, 100 feet above the ground, | | were encountered in the Midway area of Gadsden county, Florida at | | 10:00 p.m. They caused unspecified electromagnetic effects on the | | car.

It was orange/copper in color and had a black underside. | | It stopped 100 meters away. There were three flashing exhaust vents | | underneath the craft, which was rotating counter-clockwise, 5-6 | | exhaust vents in the rear of the object, and two rudders. It climbed | | away. (Source: Keith Basterfield, UFO Research South Australia, case | | SA92035). | | | | 1994 -  Guards at a factory in Guiyang, Guizhou, in southern China | | described a close encounter with a UFO at 3:30 a.m. It had two very | | brilliant spotlights, changing colors from yellow to green to red. It | | passed through the area making a noise like a locomotive engine. | | There was large scale tree damage, over an area of 160 square meters | | of forest, having cut through some trees that were three meters tall, | | yet leaving some trees that were interspersed untouched.

There was an occurrence of | | anomalous radar echoes in the Central European surveillance area on | | this day.

However, the dogs were afraid and refused to | | follow him. As he got closer to where the lights were located they | | suddenly turned off, and he decided to go back to the farm home. When | | he got back his dogs acted aggressively toward him, as if they didn't | | recognize him. He then ran upstairs to the second floor and used his | | binoculars to search the field. He could now see a lighted | | disc-shaped object on or near the ground, and he was able to see what | | looked like lighted windows on the object. Next, he noticed movement | | in a thicket near the disc, and suddenly a figure moved quickly from | | the thicket to the object. Shortly after this the object brightened | | and took off. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 18152; | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2000, case # 3490, both | | citing Filer's Files, issue # 49). | | | | 2004 - A diamond-shaped object was observed hovering in the sky in | | North Bay, Nipissing County, Ontario, Canada at 5:00 a.m. It then | | dashed towards the front of a house, and then suddenly vanished.
