It made instantaneous maneuvers, | | and illuminated a farm as it flew over. (Source: Cynthia Hind, UFO | | Afri News, January 1996). | | | | 1961 - A luminous disc was seen by airmen circling below at sea level | | northeast of Florianopolis, Brazil on this night. It climbed to the | | altitude of the DC-3 and circled the plane, then paced the aircraft | | as it flew to the northeast. (Source: APRO Bulletin, November 1961). | | | | 1965 - The crew of an Ansett-ANA DC-6B airliner flying over the | | Bougainville Reef between Brisbane, Queensland, Australia enroute | | to Port Moresby, New Guinea called Townsville Air Traffic Control at | | 3:25 a.m., and said they were being paced by a UFO. They took several | | photographs of the spherical, slightly oblate object, which was flat | | on the top and bottom. The aerial encounter lasted 10-15 minutes, | | resulting in several photographs. The film was conficated by the | | Australian military and never returned. The audio tapes of the | | conversation with air traffic controllers were also confiscated and | | the operator on duty, William Orr, was told to "shut his mouth" about | | the incident or face dismissal.

(Source: NICAP files, report dated May 30, 1967). | | | | 1967 - At 12:01 p.m. a cigar-shaped object with windows and | | protrusions flew over Wallingford, Connecticut. With clouds as a | | reference in the background, it was estimated to be about 3000 feet | | distant, and moved at an estimated speed of 500 mph as in went behind | | some clouds. (Source: NICAP files, report dated June 5, 1967). | | | | 1968 - At 10:15 three objects were spotted suddenly descending over | | Roxbury, Massachusetts making an intermittent roaring sound. The | | closest object was oval shaped with a blue glowing square on its | | underside. A buzzing sound vibrated the witness's eardrums and was | | felt in the stomach. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler case files, report | | dated June 14, 1968). | | | | Roxbury, Massachusetts - 1968 | | | | [] | | | | 1969 - At two a.m. farmers in Caltowie, South Australia watched as a | | bluish white object followed two young men home. It started to | | revolve making a whining noise, then a high-pitched beeping. Four | | legs protruded from the bottom of the object. A second orange UFO | | appeared. Ground traces of a landing were found in a nearby field, | | and some soil appeared to have been taken. (Source: Michael Hervey, | | UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 184). | | | | 1974 - A 50-75 foot diameter UFO landed on a nearby hill on this | | night in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The witnesses were too afraid to | | approach it. After awhile it lifted off, rotated on its central axis, | | and moved away rapidly. A grayish residue was found at the landing | | site. (Source: J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies case files). | | | | 1977 - At 3:10 a.m. a large dark box-shaped object shot up from the | | ground near a utility pole in St. Roch, France lighting up the area. | | Traces were found at the site. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, | | October 1978). | | | | 1993 - Near Victoria, Entre Rios province, Argentina four witnesses | | noticed a bright light floating very close to the ground at 10:20 | | p.m. within a wooded area. It rose above the treetops and illuminated | | the ground with a powerful beam of light. Its movements were erratic | | and sometimes slow, and it soon disappeared from sight. After ten | | minutes another four witnesses arrived and the craft returned, this | | time closer to their position. It seemed to float about five meters | | above the ground. Using binoculars they were able to see several very | | tall human-like silhouettes, about 2.7 meters in height, moving | | around on the ground in front of the light. A similar object was seen | | the next day in the same woods. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1993, citing Raul Oscar Fantini). | | | | 1999 - At 11:30 in the morning a metallic triangular shaped craft was | | videotaped flying at a high speed only six feet above the rolling | | hills near Wessenden Reservoir in England. It disappeared over the | | crest of a hill.
