They would change shape | | into triangles, squares, and odd forms. They were various colors, | | including red, green, black, and red. (Source: Jerome Clark, | | International UFO Reporter, April 2003, p. 19, citing the Arizona | | Republic, August 27, 1893). | | | | 1947 - At 12:30 a.m. ten kilometers southwest of Fkenberg, Sweden the | | pilot and co-pilot of a DC-3 Swedish postal plane saw a UFO that | | looked like a green parallelogram. They watched it for 8-10 seconds. | | (Sources: K. Gosta Rehn, UFOs Here and Now, p. 62; Jan Aldrich, | | Project 1947: A Preliminary Report on the 1947 UFO Sighting Wave, p. | | 144). | | | | 1947 - Late in the day two private pilots flying over Mexico, | | Missouri sighted three gray discs flying rapidly toward the | | northwest. They tried to chase them in their plane, but were quickly | | outdistanced.

Gross, UFOs: A History. 1947 (Volume 6), p. 31.) | | | | 1951 - The driver of a transcontinental train in Australia, on the | | east/west line, saw a flying object at four o'clock in the morning | | that illuminated the countryside like a full moon. It flew very fast, | | came close to the train, appeared ready to land in the desert, then | | took off and disappeared. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 196). | | | | 1951 - At Ellington AFB, Texas a radar operator made a visual | | sighting of a nocturnal light at 1:18 a.m. The UFO zig-zagged many | | times, then shot up to a very high altitude, blinking at two second | | intervals. (Source: Project Grudge Report #1, November 30, 1951). | | | | 1952 - At 12:10 a.m. USAF Captain D.A. Woods sighted a large, round, | | very bright object with a V-shaped contrail in Lathrop Wells, Nevada. | | It had a dark cone in the center. The object flew very fast, stopped | | and hovered, made an instantaneous 90-degree turn, and began a gentle | | climb followed by a final sudden acceleration.

Shelton saw two domed ellipses in Danville, | | Virginia at 6:15 a.m. They were 20-feet wide, 8-feet thick, and | | glowed silver and orange. The orange glow extended about ten feet. | | They hovered at first, then climbed vertically at a terrific speed | | side-by-side while getting brighter. He observed them for two | | minutes. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics, case 3182; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; | | Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1954: June-August, p. 93). | | | | 1955 - On this day many witnesses in Guarenas, Venezuela saw a silver | | orb zipping back-and-forth and hovering over the town, making a | | humming sound. The witnesses reported feeling a tickling sensation. | | (Source: Morris K. Jessup, The UFO Annual, p. 355). | | | | 1955 - There were three reports of unusual humanoids in Ohio on this | | date, two from Hamilton County and one from Franklin County. A child | | with the last name Perry, in Camp Washington, Ohio was reported in | | hysterics after seeing a "green man" at the window in the evening. | | Several people in Mount Air, Ohio saw a dwarf creature that night. A | | man from Cheviot, Ohio called Donna Meiers to tell her that he had | | experienced a similar incident involving a "little man" about the | | same time as the Winton Woods encounter. (Sources: David F. Webb & | | Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, cases A0383, | | A0385, A0386; Cincinnati Times-Star, August 27, 1955; Leonard H. | | Stringfield, Inside Saucer Post...3-0 Blue, p. 63). | | | | 1957 - At 10:00 p.m. an ovoid object was seen flying in the | | southwestern sky in Monroe County, Pennsylvania over the Poconos | | Mountains. It was emitting green beams of light. (Source: Loren E. | | Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1957: | | August-September, p. 53). | | | | 1964 - At 9:20 p.m. a red ellipsoid pulsated as it flew over Melrose, | | Massachusetts. It had an orange-red halo, as seen through a | | telescope. It made no sound. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: | | Interplanetary Visitors, p. 330). | | | | Melrose, Massachusetts - 1964 | | | | [Sketch of Melrose, Massachusetts 1964 sighting] | | | | 1965 - At 1:30 a.m. Hector Crespo, a highway engineer, his son | | Urgenio, and Francisco Lopez were approaching Zhulleng, 11 miles from | | Cuenca, Ecuador when they saw two beams of bright light shining up | | into the sky. On going to investigate what they believed was a car | | wreck; they found a circular object 20 feet in diameter, with a | | transparent dome on top. A bright amber light kept flashing around | | the edge, and flickering red and blue beams were shining downwards. | | The three men approached to within 60 feet of the UFO, and could see | | through an open doorway instruments and lights inside it. Three | | human-like figures were seen outside the object, one apparently | | adjusting the light beam projector, and the other two handing him | | tools. They all moved very slowly, “as if under water.” They were | | dressed in metallic-looking, silvery white, close-fitting coveralls, | | with wide white belts, dark epaulets, and shiny helmets. At one point | | two of the “men” turned and looked directly at the spot where the | | witnesses were watching from, as though knowing the operation was | | being observed, but simply returned to the repairs. The object stood | | on telescopic legs with curved dish-like footpads, although they were | | uncertain as to whether there were three or four legs. Crespo’s son | | became so frightened that he became nauseated, so they went back to | | their car. After awhile they saw the object take off, and the light | | moving around the edge was now a brilliant red and the vertical white | | beams had been extinguished. Just before it “took off like lighting,” | | it became too bright to look at. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1965-43 | | (A0657), citing Wendelle C. Stevens, Saga UFO Report, Spring 1975). | | | | 1966 - In Gaylesville, Alabama at 8:50 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Funk and | | their three children witnessed a cluster of four small, glowing, | | orange-yellow lights in a triangular formation, moved from east to | | west for 4.5 minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO | | Unknowns). | | | | 1967 - At 2:00 a.m. Marine Private Esteban D. Cova was just leaving | | the hangar at Maquetia Airport, Venezuela when he was accosted by a | | little man about three feet tall who was covered with wiry hair. The | | little man had a very large head, bulging eyes, and made a deep | | whistling sound that gave the witness a prickling sensation | | throughout his body. The little man then spoke in Spanish, asking | | Cova, "Won't you come with us? We need one more." Cova passed out. | | (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case 1967-85, citing APRO Bulletin, September-October 1967; | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # | | 873, citing Coral & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, p. 79). | | 1967 - Driving on the highway to Maturin, Venezuela on this morning | | Mr. Saki Macharechi saw what appeared to be a large bird flying | | overhead. When it landed near a bridge he took it to be a heron, but | | when he got closer he saw that it was a small human-like figure. He | | passed within ten feet of the creature. Frightened, he stepped on the | | gas and drove away. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-84, citing APRO Bulletin, | | September-October 1967; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, case # 873, citing Coral & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs | | over the Americas, p. 78). | | | | 1968 - Needham, Alabama. A bright ovoid object with three luminous | | bands was encountered on the road at 12:30 a.m. A scraped, burned | | area was found later at the landing point. (Source: Richard H. Hall, | | The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 264, citing | | NICAP files). | | | | 1968 - Awakened by a flapping noise outside, hospital receptionist | | Maria Cintra in Lins, Sao Paulo State, Brazil opened the door to find | | a “foreign looking woman” wearing white light colored, shiny clothes, | | and a tight fitting hood, and holding an engraved glass bottle and a | | mug. Mrs. Cintra filled these for her from the drinking fountain. | | While she did so, the woman placed her hand on the witness shoulder | | and repeated several times the word “Rempaua.” Then the woman went | | out and entered a luminous, pear-shaped UFO craft, shaped with a flat | | bottom that was hovering 3 feet above the hospital’s lawn. Another | | person also saw the craft. It took off and climbed slowly in a | | spiral, with a repetition of the flapping sound. (Sources: APRO | | Bulletin, July-August 1968, p. 6; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs: The | | Whole Story, p. 291; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue | | of Humanoid Reports, case # 1968-60, citing Dr. Max Berezowski for | | APRO). | | | | 1968 - Two discs were spotted atop each other on a mountain peak in | | Gleeson, Arizona at 7:50 p.m. There were scorched plants and burned | | grass found at the site. (Sources: Gordon I. R. Lore, Jr., Strange | | Effects from UFOs, p. 55; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume | | II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 264, citing NICAP files). | | | | 1972 - A man was driving down the highway in Rural, Illinois on this | | night when a bright light in the sky caught his attention. He | | followed it to where he saw a disc-shaped craft descend and hover | | close to the ground. A door opened in the craft, and an angled | | plank slid down from it from the doorway to the ground. Several slim | | humanoid figures wearing coveralls began to exit the craft. The | | witness crept up to it and suddenly the outer rim slid aside, | | following the curve of the craft, exposing transparent cylinders, | | which looked to be incubators with infants inside them. As the | | witness stared at them in disbelief, one of them opened its eyes and | | smiled at him, and he smiled back, then a look of distress came upon | | its face as if it appeared to be having trouble breathing. The man | | proceeded to pound on the glass, trying to break it open, and then | | picked up a rock intending to smash it open, but he abruptly | | felt himself being lifted up, from his two sides, away from the | | craft. He believes that the aliens knew he had been trying to help, | | and were glad that the noise he created alerted them to the apparent | | problem with the incubated hybrid. His memory ends at this point with | | an ensuing period of missing time. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Sighting Reports database, citing UFO Watch). | | | | 1974 - In Feignies, Nord Department, France at 9:00 p.m. Mr. & Mrs. | | Moret watched a round black orb, outlined by a faint white luminous | | corona, split in two. The sphere was about 200 meters away and it | | slowly descended to hover 20 meters above the ground before it split | | vertically into two "half moons", one of which flew off to the | | south-southeast and was lost from sight. The other half remained in | | place, and figures in helmets were seen moving about inside. A sort | | of veil was drawn across it, and two "cosmonauts" clad from head to | | foot in a whitish-gray metallic material, and wearing large helmets, | | were then seen moving in it. The witnesses watched them for 40 | | minutes, during which time the UFO remained stationary. The diameter | | of the original ball was about 25 feet, and the UFOnauts' were | | estimated to be five-feet tall.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1974-36(A1351)). | | | | 1975 - At 2:20 a.m. two witnesses in a truck on a highway in | | Sidi Embarek, Algeria watched a two-meter wide disc-shaped | | object illuminate the area for miles around. It flew at only 25 | | meters altitude at a speed of 200 kph, and made sudden stops. | | (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 11389, citing | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 316). | | | | 1975 - near Buffalo, North Dakota - Sandra Larson, age 32, and her | | daughter Jackie, age 15, were being driven from Fargo to Bismarck, | | North Dakota by Jackie's boyfriend when they heard a loud rumbling, | | thunder-like noise around 4:00 a.m. and saw eight glowing orange | | spheres descend from the sky. The objects stopped in mid-air, and | | three of the objects shot back upwards. Sandy had a peculiar feeling | | as though the car was motionless, and at the same time Jackie | | suddenly found herself in the back seat with no memory of how she got | | there. When they got to a gas station they discovered that an hour of | | time was unaccounted for. Later, under hypnosis, Sandra recalled | | having been "floated" from the car into a UFO, where a six-foot tall | | being (1.8 m) with a mummy-like head bandaged up in tape, with the | | eyes remaining visible, had performed some sort of surgical operation | | on her on a medical table. She had the sensation that even her brain | | had been briefly removed. This being had a luminosity around its head | | and shoulders, and it had long metallic-appearing, mechanical arms. | | Its body was like "brown vinyl." No communication with the being was | | recalled. (Sources: Jerome Clark, Saga UFO Report, August 1976, | | p. 21; Skylook, March 1976, p. 10; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1975-28, citing Jerome | | Clark and Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle). | | | | 1976 - Enrique Mercado Orue of Cerro De La Estrella, Mexico City, | | Mexico was taken onboard a UFO after being instructed to go to an | | isolated area. He described everything he saw onboard the craft as | | very quaint and simple, not at all sophisticated looking. He also saw | | what appeared to be a star-map on a wall. Inside the craft he met | | human-like occupants of different statures. Some were over two meters | | tall, but others were much shorter than that. The women were | | generally shorter than the men; they were described as beautiful and | | well built, wearing form-fitting outfits, which seemed metallic in | | texture. He traveled onboard the “spacecraft” for what seemed like a | | short distance, and did not go to another planet. He was shown a | | guest room where he was allowed to sleep comfortably. Later, he was | | given four crackers to eat and a small glass of a substance | | resembling wine. He was told that what he ate would last for four | | days. Among many things the humanoids told him was that they believed | | “in a higher being.” (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1976 Humanoid | | Sighting Reports database, citing Fabio Picasso). | | | | 1976 - Four men--Weiner, Foltz, and Rak (including a set of | | twins)--had gone out night fishing in a canoe during a camping trip | | on East Lake in the Allagash Waterway, Maine when at around 9:00 p.m. | | one of them became aware of being watched. He turned around and saw a | | huge, bright, multicolored sphere of light rising from below the | | treeline. When one of the men shined a flashlight at the object, it | | began to approach their canoe slowly. A tube-shaped beam of light was | | emitted from the object and hit the water. The object and the beam of | | light began approaching the four men and all four of them began to | | paddle frantically toward shore, trying to get away. At this point | | they lost all conscious memory of what happened next. Later, under | | hypnosis all four remembered being levitated up from their canoe and | | into the hovering craft via a hollow tube-like beam of light. Inside | | the they encountered several short dark gray-colored humanoids with | | large oval-shaped heads and huge, black, almond-shaped eyes. They all | | wore metallic uniforms and were described as somewhat insect like. | | The men were made to undress and sit on a plastic like bench. The | | humanoids then looked into each of the men’s eyes and mouths with a | | pencil size rod with a light on its tip. Then each was made to lie on | | an exam table where each was examined with several handheld and large | | scanning machine like instruments. Samples of bodily fluids were | | taken from all four men. Later, after several hours, they were | | floated back down into their canoe. (Sources: Raymond E. Fowler, The | | Allagash Affair; Alan Baker, p. 17; Albert S. Rosales, 1976 Humanoid | | Sighting Reports database, case # 1134, citing Raymond E Fowler, | | MUFON UFO Journal, issue 300). | | | | 1977 - The witness in Fontanigorda, Liguria, Italy was having | | difficulty sleeping and got up at 4:15 a.m. when he noticed through | | some partially opened blinds a very bright white light approach and | | stop a few meters away. Moments later two figures with gold-colored | | faces appeared in front of the light. The light then moved to the | | right side near the curtains, which were the only things separating | | the witness from the phenomenon. Next, one of the humanoid figure | | started to enter his bedroom through the curtains; it had an | | oval-shaped head with an upside-down, triangle-shaped light on the | | top part of its face. The witness yelled out, causing the figure to | | leave, leaving a faintly luminous handprint on the curtains. Soon | | after this, two more figures were heard walking by. Finally, the | | lights and the figures vanished. Investigators reportedly found | | ground traces. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | database, case # 1530, citing Maurizio Verga, ITACAT, case # 99; | | Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 12310). | | | | 1978 - At ten o'clock in the evening two witnesses in a car in | | Hyannis, Massachusetts on Cape Cod watched an oval-shaped craft | | hovering low over the US Route 6 road. Within the craft several | | figures could be seen moving about behind several rectangular | | windows. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, | | case # 2358, citing Raymond E. Fowler). | | | | 1979 - Two men in Sitio Dentro, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil were | | walking back home late at night when they saw a huge bright light | | appear above them, illuminating the area like daytime. They looked up | | and saw a huge object coming towards them. They could see two beings | | inside the craft through a transparent window. The beings could be | | seen from the waist up and looked nearly identical to each other. | | Both men ran behind a house and squatted by a wall, trying to hide | | from the UFO. It then passed over a nearby bar making a very loud | | noise. The next morning they discovered that the roof of the bar had | | been tore off and several rafters had been broken. One of the men | | felt sick for three days after the encounter. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # 2594, citing Bob | | Pratt, UFO Danger Zone). | | | | 1982 - A deer hunter in a hammock in a tree at night, in the jungle | | in Cocalinho, Maranhao State, Brazil, waiting for deer, was zapped by | | a beam from a nocturnal ball of light at around 6 a.m. He | | became sick, laid down, and died shortly thereafter. (Source: Jacques | | Vallee, Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact, pp. | | 187, 207). | | | | 1984 - At a lake near Danbury, Connecticut a witness encountered a | | UFO and lost 30 minutes of conscious memory; felt | | "inspected-rejected." (Source: J. Allen Hynek & Philip Imbrogno, | | Night Seige, p. 204). | | | | 1993 - At 9:45 p.m. a glowing UFO was sighted hovering just over the | | moor at Ivybridge in Plymouth, England. Figures were seen walking | | around underneath it. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, September | | 1993). | | | | 1995 - On this night a man in Piracicaba, Sao Paulo State, Brazil | | encountered three 50 cm tall humanoids wearying white coveralls and | | helmets with antennas. One carried a pen-like instrument, which he | | pointed towards the witness who fled on his motorcycle. When he | | looked back he saw the humanoids walking towards a landed luminous | | round object. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1995, citing GEPUC Brazil). | | | | 1998 - The crew of a DC-10 flying over France observed the fast | | passage of six luminous points of light in tight formation for 10 | | seconds at 12:32 a.m., with a single trail. The flight was | | horizontal, but described an arc of 90° in just 10 seconds, which was | | judged to be a supersonic speed. (Source: GEIPAN, case 1998-297). | | | | 1999 - At 10:00 p.m. in Monkton, Strathclyde, Scotland a bright blue | | flash was seen overhead, and the blue ball of light shot down to just | | feet above a couple's car, where it hovered for a number of seconds. | | The couple was frightened but unharmed. (Source: UFO Magazine (UK), | | January 2000, p. 76). | | | | 1999 - At three a.m. a witness sighted three lights on a triangular | | object over Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada; it made sharp turns over | | CFB Suffield. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 1999 Canadian UFO Survey, case | | # 156, citing Alberta UFO Study Group). | | | | 2004 - A lone witness in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada saw two | | stationary lights in the sky for about an hour, beginning at 3:30 | | a.m., at which time a haze or fog filled the area and he | | lost consciousness. He woke up across his yard, with unusual marks on | | his body, and believing he had been abducted by aliens.
