The larger object had | | landing gear shaped like three round balls. Three human-looking | | occupants who were small in stature got out. They had with them a | | luminous basket and a metal tube with a cone-shaped end. They used | | these tools to collect soil samples. On the same day a Royal | | Australian Navy pilot reported that two UFOs paced his aircraft. The | | UFOs appeared on radar. (Sources: Coral E.

The object | | approached at low altitude, and then hovered over a nearby field. | | While hovering a smaller sphere discharged from the bottom, and it in | | turn discharged a smaller sphere, which then discharged a yet smaller | | sphere. These small spheres hovered momentarily one beneath the | | other, then returned to their original positions within each other | | and into the original object, which then sped out of sight. (Source: | | NICAP UFO Investigator, Jan.-Feb. 1968, p. 6). | | | | 1968 – Shortly after midnight one of several UFOs in the sky swooped | | down and paced a car with five teenage hunters inside near Coorong, | | South Australia for over two minutes.

Bright green flashes went out from it several | | times. (Source: Mrs. Frank Abbott, NICAP case investigation files, | | report dated February 17, 1969). | | | | 1971 – A round, silver disc-shaped object was sighted by a Mrs. H. | | Parker in Bridgewater, Tasmania at 6:20 a.m. It had a brightly | | reflective surface that flashed like a mirror over a river.

(Source: Australian Flying Saucer Review, December 1972, p. 12, | | citing the Tasmanian UFO Investigation Centre). | | | | 1973 - In 1973, on a highway in Le Gua, France a near collision occurred | | between a car and a 15-meter long silver cloud shaped UFO at around | | eleven o’clock in the morning. The UFO was heading in a southerly | | direction, but made an instantaneous ninety-degree turn and shot off | | toward the east. At 7:20 p.m. on a highway in Chateauneuf-sur-Loire, | | France a green ball of light dropped from the sky. At the same time a | | car’s engine and radio died.

(Source: International UFO Reporter, | | February 1977, p. 5). | | | | 1977 – At 8:45 p.m. a domed disc illuminated the area of Saint Ciers | | du Taillon, France like day, then flew away. It came back again the | | same site 20 minutes later. That same night a blindingly bright light | | came up close to a French Navy Nord-262 transport plane with three | | crew members aboard and followed it, circling it for five minutes. | | The UFO did not appear on ground radar at the naval base in Lorien, | | in Morbihan department, France. Also that night mysterious booms were | | reported up and down the eastern Atlantic shoreline of the United | | States at around 10:30 p.m. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, January | | 1981; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 41 citing J. | | Troadec; Washington Post, December 17, 1977). | | | | 1978 - There were a series of close encounter UFO incidents in Italy on this | | date in 1978. In Torrebruna, Italy a man driving his car shortly | | after midnight saw a lighted UFO hovering just above the roadway. He | | blinked his headlights and the object descended and landed on the | | road ahead of him. The car's radio then stopped working. He got out | | of his car and approached the object and a door opened up. He then | | entered and found himself in a circular brightly illuminated room | | crammed full of instrument panels. He did not see any occupants. | | After a few minutes the witness left the object and saw it depart at | | high speed. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1978, citing Chris Aubeck, Return to Magonia; Lumieres dans la Nuit, | | numbers 214 and 240). | | | | 1978 - At 12:15 p.m. two young boys were playing in a yard in | | Catania, Italy on the island of Sicily, near a large TV antenna. The | | sky darkened and then a large disc-shaped craft approached and tilted | | at an angle, just above the TV antenna. The object emitted | | multicolored rays of light and had an open hatch in its center | | section. A bright beam of light shot out of the opening and a | | strange, 1.5 meter tall “monster” descended within the beam. The | | being was described as "ugly" with two large eyes and two | | antenna-like protrusions on its head. A second similar being | | reportedly descended carrying a "laser" type gun and shot at a rock | | causing it to burn and explode. He was seen to bend down, touch the | | ground, and then spill a black liquid on it. Moments later a beam of | | light transported the beings back into the craft. The craft then shot | | away at high speed. Ground traces were reportedly found. (Source: | | Maurizio Verga, ITACAT – Italian UFO Catalogue). | | | | 1978 - At 5:45 p.m. a luminous orange sphere, about two meters in | | diameter, passed low over houses in a residential area of Macomer, | | Italy on the island of Sardinia. At 6:30 p.m. several witnesses in | | Collegno,Torino, Italy spotted a bizarre human-like figure about 1.60 | | meters in height, wearing a rose-colored coverall and without facial | | features. It moved around in a field at very high speed and then | | remained immobile, leaning against a wall for more than 30 minutes. | | The witnesses were afraid to approach the figure. Some thought it was | | a prank and summoned the authorities. As the police arrived the | | strange figure suddenly ran through an opening in the wall at | | incredibly speed and quickly disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert | | S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing Chris Aubeck, | | Return to Magonia). | | | | 1978 - Back on the island of Sicily at 11:45 p.m. a witness named Capuzello | | saw two, two-meter tall beings exit from a saucer-shaped craft that | | had landed on a road in Licodia Eubea, Italy. They spoke some kind of | | unintelligible language that sounded like gibberish. (Sources: | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issues 214 and 240; Maurizio Verga, ITACAT – | | Italian UFO Catalogue). | | | | 1978 - At 11:50 p.m. a truck driver in Ragusa, Italy suddenly | | experienced radio interference and stopped to fix it. He then saw two | | very tall humanoids standing only five meters away. They were dressed | | in black, tight-fitting coveralls and helmets. They helmets had short | | protuberances like antennae on the sides and they had transparent | | face plates. Inside human-like faces could be seen. Two bright beams | | of light were emitted from their helmets that illuminated the cab of | | the truck. The beings came closer and uttered unintelligible sounds, | | then turned and left. Seconds later the witness saw a dome-shaped | | craft take off with a bright flash. A strong smell of sulphur was | | noticed in the vicinity. (Source: Richard Hall, MUFON UFO Journal, | | issue # 153). | | | | 1980 - In 1980 over 40 people in the southeastern part of London, England | | saw a UFO hover, divide into pieces, re-group, dart a short distance, | | and then shoot straight up.

(Source: Haluk Egeman Sarikaya, International | | UFO Reporter, January 1983, p. 9). | | | | 1981 - In San Luis del Palmar, Corrientes Province, Argentina at 3:30 | | a.m. 42-year-old Ruben Meneses was driving a dump truck on a dirt | | road at 3:30 a.m when he had a close encounter with a | | brilliant object that approached his truck. The truck began to | | vibrate, and hefelt a tingling sensation all over his body. He was | | unable to move as the truck was lifted up into the air and seemed to | | become transparent. Meneses then blacked out. He later awoke sitting | | confused in his truck at a location about 55 miles from where he had | | been, and did not remember how he got there. He was hospitalized in a | | state of confusion, shock, and disorientation. When he awoke he also | | had a vague memory of a humanoid encounter.Later under hypnotic | | regression he remembered being taken inside a room with mirror like | | walls, where he was made to lie down on a cot-like bed. He saw three | | short thin humanoids with dark gray skin, extremely long arms and | | thick wrinkles on their foreheads. The little beings communicated | | with Meneses using telepathy. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO | | Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 271; Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1981, case # 3461, citing Eduardo Alfredo | | Lopez). | | | | 1983 - In 1983 Mr. Coventry in Glasgow, Scotland reported seeing a fog at | | 6:25 a.m. in which all sounds stopped. A gray flying object the shape | | of a railroad car, but with a convex curved roof, then appeared, | | making crackling and humming sounds. The UFO had three | | porthole-shaped windows in the side, and what appeared to be a yellow | | smoke swirled around in the interior of the object. It shot up into | | the sky and was gone. (Source: Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland: The secret | | history of Scotland’s UFO phenomenon, p. 88). | | | | 1991 - At 7:30 p.m. on a farm in Catlett, Fauquier County, Virginia a woman | | with multiple abduction experiences reported being abducted by aliens | | again in 1991, this time for 70 minutes. A curious feature of this | | abduction event was that when she was returned she noticed that the | | aliens had put her earrings back on backwards. (Source: UFO | | Newsclipping Service, January 1994, citing USA Today). | | | | 1994 - At around 3:00 a.m. Miss Myrna Rodriguez had been in a deep | | sleep at her home in La Playa Guayanilla, Puerto Rico when she had | | the sudden sensation that her body was being lifted up, apparently | | floating away from the bed. She awoke with a start and found herself | | unable to move. When she looked around she found herself surrounded | | by four short humanoids, two on each side of her body, who were | | apparently somehow holding her up in mid-air without any means of | | support. The beings were short and thin, with huge, round hairless | | heads, small pointed ears, and large, dark, slanted eyes. They had | | what appeared to be mole-like marks under their eyes, and their noses | | and mouths were almost indistinguishable. They had thin bodies with | | long skinny arms. They all wore dull silvery uniforms. The beings | | next began touching her with their delicate hands all around her | | stomach and chest area, at the same time talking to themselves in a | | low murmur like chatter. The witness was alarmed to see that the | | beings somehow had suceeded in opening her chest area, without | | causing her any pain or discomfort. They seemed to be checking her | | internal organs, including her heart, which she saw moving as it | | pumped blood through her body. During the whole experience she felt a | | sense of joy and peace, and was convinced that the beings were | | benevolent and were there to help. She eventually floated gently back | | to her bed where she was able to move and immediately checked her | | stomach and chest area for any scars, but found none. The beings had | | vanished. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1994, | | case #  2099, citing Jorge Martin, Evidencia OVNI, issue # 5). | | | | 1995 – At 10:30 p.m. a big rectangular object with many lights | | maneuvered in the sky at the same time that three lights were seen on | | the road in La Spezia, Italy. The big UFO flew away to the west, | | leaving a bright trail in the sky. An electrical power outage | | occurred in the area at the same time. (Source: Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case 17168). | | | | 1998 - There were many UFO reports in the early dawn hours and on this | | evening in 1998, earlier in the evening than the normal hours for the | | Geminid meteor shower. At 5:30 a.m. at Teterboro Airport in New | | Jersey near New York City, a man working at the airport felt a | | strange compulsion to go outside. When he did he saw a huge, | | wedge-shaped craft with lights over the George Washington Bridge. At | | the same time he heard a message, apparently through his normal | | hearing. At nine o’clock in the evening a dark equilateral | | triangle-shaped craft outlined by lights passed silently over | | Bethelem, Pennsylvania. It flew from the east to the west at a very | | slow speed. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1998, case 3930, citing CAUS; Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting | | Center, Seattle). | | | | 1999 – A disc with green flashing lights pulsating around its middle | | rim section approached the beach on North Island in New Zealand from | | the ocean traveling at a speed of 200 knots. It flew low, at an | | estimated altitude of only 50 meters, and accelerated away making a | | deep buzzing noise. (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), April 2000, p. 17, | | citing Filer’s Files). | | | | 2001 - In 2001 there were many reports of a circular glowing object circling | | the metropolitan area of Toluca, Mexico at around 3:00 a.m. The | | object was reportedly viewed through binoculars.
