They circled the city as fast as a freight train. | | They had apparatus on their sides that looked like they may have been | | wearing guns in holsters. They were seen briefly by three witnesses | | with the last names of Johnson and Pittman.

It gave off a plasma glow. On | | the same day two railroad workers saw a flying saucer the size of a | | large airplane 3,000 feet over their train. Two silver discs were | | seen flying over Jericho and Ramallah in Israel and Palestine. At | | eleven o'clock in the morning a silver, rotating disc flew over a pen | | factory in Fort Madison, Iowa. It left a shower of sparks behind it. | | (Sources: newspaper clippings, April 11 & 8, 1950; Loren Gross, UFOs: | | A History - 1950: April-July, pp. 10 & 12; Lumieres dans la Nuit, | | issue 211). | | | | 1957 - An ovoid shaped UFO hovered over a beach in Tahunanui, New | | Zealand at 3:30 p.m. It had sharply defined edges, and was five times | | the apparent size of the moon. It suddenly shot away to the | | north-northwest.

They collected rock and plant | | specimens. (Source: Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: Terror and Death in | | Brazil--Where Next? p. 264). | | | | 1966 - At 2:30 a.m. in Warminster, England two Army officers | | witnessed a top-shaped UFO fly from the east to the west at a high | | rate of speed. The UFO turned and rose, leaving a trail in the sky. | | It made no sound. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case | | 6166; Arthur Shuttlewood,The Warminister Mystery: Astounding UFO | | Sightings, p. 14). | | | | 1966 - At 9:30 p.m. in Daniels Park near Denver, Colorado six | | 17-year-old young men and women were in a shelter in the park when | | they heard footsteps on the roof. Two boys went out to investigate | | and heard a buzzing noise that seemed to surround them. In the field | | they saw two red lights each about a foot in diameter. Meanwhile | | those left behind in the shelter witnessed a very tall man dressed in | | black standing outside. They left and started back to their car. When | | the buzzing started again they saw two blue lights low in the sky, | | which were joined by a very bright white light. Watching from the | | car, they continued to hear the sound, and saw "four things like | | footballs with domes on them." They drove away---with difficulty, for | | the engine kept stalling---and were followed by a "huge light" which | | did not reflect in the rearview mirror. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek, | | case investigation files; David F.

Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1966). | | | | 1966 - That same evening several luminous objects with bright red | | lights were seen hovering at a low altitude in Lincoln, Nebraska. | | They sped away. (Source: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence Volume II: A | | Thirty Year Report, p. 320). | | | | 1967 - At 11:00 p.m. three men in Balmoral, Victoria, Australia | | witnessed a small, silent ovoid-shaped UFO and shone a spotlight on | | it. The UFO buzzed the witnessed in response. (Source: APRO Bulletin, | | May-June 1967, p. 4). | | | | 1974 - A multicolored cone-shaped UFO hovered over a car between | | Olympia and Lacey, Washington for several minutes on this night. It | | made a high pitched whining sound, then took off at a tremendous | | speed. (Source: Center for UFO Studies files May 1974, citing | | newspaper clipping). | | | | 1976 - A couple driving their car in Kontich, Belgium at 9:15 p.m. | | saw a dirigible-shaped UFO cross the road at a fairly low altitude. | | It had red and white spotlights around its perimeter. At 11:40 p.m. | | in Laroque Timbaut, France a three meter tall pinkish, ovoid object, | | 1 meter in diameter, hung just above the ground. It then jumped at | | distance of 200 meters almost instantaneously. (Sources: J. Delaire, | | UFO Register, Volume 7 (1976), p. 31; Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, case 11691). | | | | 1977 - Mr. Cyril John, age 64, a former local political leader, was | | up early for an early start to London at 5:00 a.m. in Milford Haven, | | Pembrokeshire, Wales when he noticed a light shining in his bedroom | | window. Looking out he observed two objects. The first was a | | silvery-gray egg-shaped object with a bright orange-red light on top | | of it. It was about four feet across and was rocking gently in the | | air about 60 meters away. The second was a seven to eight foot tall | | humanoid figure, who floated in the air with arms out and legs bent | | back, like a "free fall parachutist." There was only about 35 feet | | between the man and the observer. No features could be seen on the | | figure's face, and it wore a uniformly silver-gray "boiler suit." It | | remained motionless in the air for more than 25 minutes. Then both | | the being and the ovoid object began slowly moving off, gradually | | disappearing from view in the distance.

Webb and | | Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-17 | | [A1719], citing Randall Jones Pugh, British UFO Research | | Association). | | | | 1979 - Several cars experienced electrical system failures on highway | | 33 in Bigand, Argentina at eight o'clock in the morning. Mr. Celotto, | | a farmer, saw an eight meter wide disc land, and circular ground | | traces were found later in a soybean field. (Source: MUFON UFO | | Journal, November 1979, p. 12). | | | | 1982 - A mushroom cap shaped flying disc paced two people in a car in | | Fort Wayne, Indiana. It had hazy lights and made odd maneuvers, not | | jerky but always smoothly executed. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, citing APRO Bulletin, June 1982). | | | | 1994 - The witnesses were out in an isolated area of Victoria, | | Argentina at 9:30 p.m. when they spotted a large white object | | apparently on the ground about 200 meters away. The object suddenly | | became brighter illuminating the nearby trees. A white line was now | | visible on the object, and they now saw 3 small lights moving within | | the object. The object grew in size, resembling a translucent bubble. | | Inside they could see eight to ten figures standing in a group. | | Seconds later a thick white fog enveloped the area. The object dimmed | | and shot straight up at high speed. Ground traces were found. | | (Source: Albert Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1994, case 3181, | | citing Silvia P. Simondini). | | | | 2002 - A triangular formation of white lights was seen by a police | | woman at 3:16 a.m. in Hellifield, near Skipton, England. The lights | | travelled slowly through the sky in perfect unison, and then made a | | banking maneuver before disappearing from view.
