They | | were seen by Mr. B. Blair, a commercial airline pilot in flight at | | that time. At 9:08 p.m. a bright light made a sharp turn toward a | | DC-3 transport plane over Bakersfield, California at 9:08 p.m., flew | | parallel to it for a short while, then pulled ahead and to the left | | at a speed of over 200 mph.

Three people wearing “western” | | suits emerged and made hand gestures to the locals, who panicked and | | ran to their houses. The object remained on the ground for five | | minutes and took off in a vertical ascent, disappearing at high | | speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, | | citing Michael David Hall, UFOs: A Century of Sightings). | | | | 1957 -  A huge, brilliant, white domed disc-shaped object with a halo | | hovered low over Herefordshire, England at 9:30 p.m. It then flew off | | to the southwest.

The UFO made | | several dashes at terrific speeds, and was watched through binoculars | | by seven witnesses. It made no sound. The sighting lasted between 20 | | and 30 minutes. A Project Blue Book "unknown".

Mothman, a tall winged figure in gray, was | | standing on the golf course on this morning. It unfolded its ten foot | | wide wings and flew directly at her windshield. She saw its red eyes. | | It then veered off and disappeared from sight. After the encounter | | her eyes were red, swollen, and itchy for two full weeks. (Sources: | | John A. Keel, FSR, July-August 1968, p. 8; John A. Keel, The Mothman | | Prophesies, p. 16; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue | | of Humanoid Reports, case 1966-66, citing John A.

When a police officer shined a spotlight at it, it | | immediately blinked out. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, January | | 1969, p. 8; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A | | Thirty-Year Report, pp. 13, 173 & 381). | | | | 1974 - Dora Ellen Afelbaum was driving home near Dallas, Texas in her | | new car on Thanksgiving night when she saw a light following her. She | | stopped the car and rolled down her window, thinking it may be a | | helicopter, but she heard no sound. The light then moved ahead of her | | and she saw what appeared to be dogs, then a "human like form" | | running toward the light. Suddenly the light, the animals, and the | | figure vanished. There were others cars on the highway but none | | stopped, and no one else appeared to have witnessed the incident. | | (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case 1974-78, citing letter from Dora Afelbaum to Fate, | | February 1977). | | | | 1975 -  Mr. And Mrs. Henry Vidal and their five-year-old son were en | | route to Culiacan, Sinaloa state, Mexico at around 2:30 a.m. when | | they saw a bright object approach them at high speed. Glowing | | different colors, it hovered silently ahead of their car, which had | | slowed down to a crawl despite all attempts by Mr. Vidal to speed up. | | The object was cone-shaped and the bottom appeared to rotate rapidly, | | "like a drill." It was so large and so close that it filled most of | | their windshield, and remained in position near their slowly moving | | car for what they thought was 15 minutes, after which it rapidly | | climbed away and disappeared from view. They reached the town of | | Culiacan at 7:00 a.m., about two and a half hours late, and the | | missing time could not be accounted for.  After they returned to | | their home in Santa Ana, Mrs. Vidal began to have a series of | | nightmares in which she dreamed she had been abducted by a UFO. In | | another dream she was levitated from her bed by a group of shadowy, | | small entities using some bright fluorescent lights. Her husband, | | awakened by her cries, awakened his wife, and she had scratches on | | her arms and legs that she could not account for. (Source: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1975-64 (1804), citing Dr. Alvin H. Lawson). | | | | 1975 - A round or disc-shaped object, yellow in color, approached to | | within 100 feet of two hunters on Peters Mountain, West Virginia at | | around 6:00 p.m. It blinked on-and-off, then shot away as three U.S. | | Air Force jets entered the airspace, but reappeared after the jets | | had gone. (Source: Bob Teets, West Virginia UFOs: Close Encounters in | | the Mountain State, p. 20). | | | | 1975 - Two men, Marquis and Rindahl, were driving on a road nine | | miles east of Goodridge, Minnesota when they were approached from | | ahead by a silent glowing red object at 7:15 p.m. It approached to | | within half a mile at 200 feet altitude, then landed.  The driver | | turned the car around but the engine began to stall, and the vehicle | | subsequently required an extensive tune up before it would run right. | | A second driver reportedly also saw the UFO. (Source: Middle River | | (MN) Record, January 7, 1976). | | | | 1978 - At 11:20 p.m. all clocks in the village of Figueira da Foz, | | Portugal stopped for one hour and then started again when a UFO flew | | over.

A very tall man like figure wearing a | | shiny silvery outfit got out and stood next to the object. The | | witness became frightened and ran home. The grass had been flattened | | at the landing site, swirled in a spiral pattern bending toward the | | top of a slope.

(Sources: UFO Newspaper Clipping Service, February 1980, | | p. 10; Pretoria News, November 29, 1979). | | | | 1980 -  A group of four driving to a hospital in central Kansas | | arrived at the hospital much sooner than they had planned. They | | encountered a green beam of light off to the side of highway and | | ahead of them at two o'clock in the morning.

It began when a | | luminous object with brilliant illumination brightly illuminated a | | police patrol car, then changed direction when pursued. The white | | domed disc was later seen to the east, with a light beam extended | | toward the ground, as it descended behind the tree line.  The entire | | episode lasted about three minutes. (Sources: Mark Rodeghier, | | International UFO Reporter, March 1983, p. 10; Richard H.

Romigh,  MUFON Field Investigations Database, case | | 931235J). | | | | 1983 - A bedroom visitation with paralysis occurred on this night to | | four-year-old Robbie Tomey in his home in the suburbs of | | Indianapolis, Indiana. He reported that a little man with a big head | | had been in his room in the predawn hours. He had lights around his | | head, and the boy was unable to move. The entity spoke without moving | | its mouth, and "he told me he wanted to take Casey [his brother]." He | | left through the closet. (Source: Thomas E.
