Black, age 48, | | and John Van Allen, reported that they saw a silvery object land on a | | sand bar 50 m away from them. It was 2.5 meters in diameter with | | tripod landing gear. An occupant described as a broad-shouldered | | dwarf, wearing clothing that covered the head and body was also seen. | | His arms and legs were covered with tweed-like cloth fastened at the | | wrists and ankle. The UFO occupant filled a shiny pail with water and | | handed it to someone inside the craft. He then appeared to notice Mr. | | Black and jumped into the craft, which made a hissing sound when it | | departed. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, p. 202). | | | | 1954 - Mr. Nigel Frapple was cycling home from a dance in Wincanton, | | England. At Redlynch crossroads he saw an orange glow in a field and | | stopped to observe it from a hedge. The glow came from a huge object | | on the other side of the hedge only 35 meters away, hovering less | | than seven meters above the ground. It made a throbbing sound. After | | a minute it moved toward away the northwest, accelerating and | | climbing into the sky. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: | | A Century of Landings, pp. 206-207). | | | | 1959 - At 5:30 p.m. two hunters named Sanchez and Fogliani observed a | | landed silvery metallic disc in Tres Lomas, La Pampa, Argentina. | | Grass at the landing site was flattened. (Sources: La Razon, May 24, | | 1959; Oscar A. Uriondo, FSR Case Histories, December 1972, p. 9). | | | | 1963 - On this evening a 17-year-old witness named Bushbridge, | | driving his car between Glencoe and Mount Gambier, South Australia | | saw what he at first thought was a bulldozer by the side of the road. | | He came within 20 meters of it, and then was blinded by a strong | | light as his car suddenly stopped. The object crossed the road and | | flew away. The light was as intense as a welder's torch. The | | witness's father later testified that his son came home white and | | visibly terrified. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, November 1963, p. 6; | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 571; | | Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 20). | | | | 1965 - At 7:00 p.m., six members of the McDonald family in Leroy | | Township, Ohio saw a silvery-white disc with a row of  portholes that | | were about one-foot in diameter.  The disc skimmed over the rooftop | | of their house making a low buzzing or purring sound, and was | | estimated to be the size of a car.  At the time of the object’s | | passage, neighbors noted unusual TV and radio interference, and a | | horse and dog reacted strongly. The dog ran and hid, while the horse | | ran back and forth on its tether with its ears back and eyes wild.  | | (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, June-July 1965, p. 5; Saucer News, | | December 1965, p. 17; Gordon I. R. Lore, Jr. & Harold H. Dennault, | | Jr., Mysteries of the Skies: UFOs in Perspective, p. 153; Francis L. | | Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 18). | | | | 1967 - Polish-born Steve Michalac, age 52, an industrial mechanic and | | prospector, saw two red-glowing objects flying at high speed while | | prospecting at Falcon Lake, Manitoba, Canada. One of them landed | | nearby, and blew up vegetation as it landed. It was surrounded by a | | glow, and he watched it for 30 minutes before a door opened, | | revealing a purple glow inside. A high-pitched humming sound and an | | odor resembling a burning electrical circuit were noted. Seeing no | | further activity Mr. Michalac approached the landed craft, but he | | then heard voices, and when he touched the craft he burned his | | rubber-coated glove, and he was blown backwards by a hot blast of | | air. The object then started spinning. The witness felt dizzy, | | suffered minor face burns, and second and third degree burns on his | | chest. He vomited frequently for the next four days, and was | | hospitalized, losing over 10 kilograms. The landed craft was | | estimated to be 11 meters in diameter and three meters tall, with a | | one meter high superstructure. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, May-June | | 1967, p. 1; Edward U. Condon (ed.), Scientific Study of Unidentified | | Flying Objects, New York: Bantam (1969), p. 316; Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 844). | | | | Falcon Lake, Manitoba Close Encounter - 1967 | | | | [] | | | | 1969 - Jose Pereira Sacramento was awakened by a noise outside his | | home in Vila Operaria, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Going outside through | | his back door at 1:00 a.m., he saw "the white face of an animal" and | | a light in the sky which came down toward him. He was paralyzed and | | could not move to re-enter the house or call out. An "enormous | | object" landed beside him, and he was "pulled through an opening" | | into the ship, finding himself inside a small elevator, which went up | | into a brightly lit circular compartment with a curved ceiling, about | | 45 feet in diameter. In this room were six small humanoid beings only | | 31 inches tall. They had big heads and they wore tight-fitting, | | plastic like outfits, entirely covering their bodies and heads, light | | cream in color, having openings only for their eyes and ears. Their | | eyes were slanted. Each entity stood inside a cylinder three feet in | | diameter and 15" high, and above its head was a curved plate with a | | lever. They spoke among themselves in a language of short shrilly | | sounds, "like pigs grunting." After four or five minutes one of the | | beings moved a control and the illumination increased in brightness | | to such a point that Pereira lost consciousness. At 6:00 a.m. he woke | | up in his bed, not knowing how he got there. He had an inflammation | | of the eyes lasted a month, and a year after the event he still felt | | light-headed and had difficulty concentrating. (Source: David F. Webb | | and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1969-35, citing CICOANI). | | | | 1974 - A young man of 20 was swimming at 12:30 a.m. at Hampton Beach, | | New Hampshire when he saw a domed disc-shaped object approach from | | the ocean. It landed on the beach about 80 yards away. It had a domed | | bulge above and below the central rim, and was about 50 feet in | | diameter. It stood on four legs and had several lights on the main | | body of the object. It also gave off heat and emitted a humming or | | pulsating sound. A hatch folded down and a ramp slid out, and a motor | | like noise was now also audible. A six-foot tall occupant emerged | | down the ramp, dressed in a head-to-foot light-colored coverall. Two | | hoses ran from the chin area to behind the head, with one hose | | running down the back. The figure stepped out briefly onto the sand | | and then re-entered the object, which ascended and moved off out to | | sea. The man searched the landing site and found a "deep, rose | | colored paste and thick liquid" in the four, deep landing marks. He | | also found a spot of red where the hatch had opened. Traces had been | | obliterated by the tide the following morning, before the | | investigator could gather samples. The landing site is not far from | | an outflow vent that would later be built for the Seabrook nuclear | | reactor. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1974-22, citing field investigator John | | Oswald). | | | | 1974 - At 9:30 p.m. two children in Haisnes-lez-la Bassee, France, | | age 10, witnessed an ovoid or football-shaped object that descended | | with an oscillating movement. Ground traces were later found were the | | UFO came down. At 11:00 p.m. an enormous luminous ball of light | | approached Haisnes-lez-la Bassee, France and then flew off to the | | northwest in the direction of Auchy-les-Mines. The estimated diameter | | of the object was 42 meters. (Source: Michel Figeut & Jean-Louis | | Ruchon, OVNI: Le premier dossier complet des rencontres rapprochees | | en France, p. 487). | | | | 1982 - A couple driving near a golf course in Caboolture, Queensland, | | Australia saw a bright light descend. They noted that it was a | | saucer-shaped object with portholes around the lower part. It emitted | | blue beam of light at front of car. They had a period of missing | | time, but do recall witnessing a two meter tall silver-suited being. | | (Source: Albert S.
