At 7:10 a.m. USAF Sgt. J. B. Sells watched a | | dull gray metallic object, estimated to be 120 feet long and 10-12 | | feet thick. The UFO hovered, puffed smoke, and sped away after about | | 90 seconds. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1954 - Architect R.M. Pierce, Marine Engineer George Avery and one | | other witness sighted a silver flying disc at 2:30 p.m. in | | Newburyport, Massachusetts. It had a white trail and made a loud | | roaring noise for 30-60 seconds. (Source: Don Berliner, Project | | Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1966 - Hanna City, Illinois - An oval object about 15-20 feet in | | diameter came within three meters of a car around 8:00 p.m. There was | | interference on the car radio as it passed nearby. The object was | | glowing red with a dome on top and it made a strange "signal-like" | | noise. It eventually moved off to the north. (Sources: Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia; A Century of Landings; Mark Rodeghier, | | UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 165, citing Vallee). | | | | 1967 - At 6:00 p.m. local time a low flying, bullet-shaped object | | flew over Dublin Airport, Ireland. It gave off blue and yellow | | flashes. (Sources: NICAP files, press clipping dated February 27, | | 1967; Dermot Butler, Conspiracy of Silence: UFOs in Ireland, p. 20). | | | | 1967 - One hour later, a sound like a car without a muffler woke up a | | school teacher and her husband in Marlboro, Massachusetts at two | | o'clock in the morning EST. They looked outside and saw a white | | glowing egg-shaped object with a red light on each side in the | | sky, swinging back-and-forth in a pendulum motion making a purring | | sound. At 6:30 p.m. five people in Oxford, Massachusetts, including a | | newspaper reporter, saw a bright amber oval-shaped object which at | | times turned red. The UFO alternately hovered and moved at high | | speed. The reporter took a photograph of the object. (Sources: (1) | | Raymond E.

The object moved slowly across the | | highway, stopped, then finally moved away to the west-southwest and | | disappeared after five minutes. (Source: NICAP report form dated | | March 28, 1967). | | 1967 - At 7:30 p.m. nine witnesses including four policemen | | in Wiarton, southeastern Ontario, Canada saw a bright shining | | object with body lights changing color from white to green. The | | UFO appeared to have streamers of light around it. It flitted | | about, hovered, and then disappeared. (Sources: London (ON) Free | | Press,  February 27, 1967; NICAP files; Gene Duplantier, Saucers, | | Space & Science, Summer 1967, p. 7). | | 1967 - At 7:45 p.m. two policemen, Edie and Border, in Coshocton, | | Ohio saw two light-colored saucers of different sizes with associated | | red flames. The larger object was stationary and the smaller | | satellite object moved about it. The two objects moved in and out of | | sight together. Other residents reportedly also had | | sightings. (Sources: Dover (OH) Daily Reporter, February 28, | | 1967; NICAP files). | | | | 1968 - An unidentified man in Phoenix, Arizona was awakened at one | | a.m. by a sharp knock on his door. "I saw a man standing in my room | | at some distance...wearing dark clothing...I couldn't see his | | face...he was slender and not tall, perhaps five feet nine. He | | changed position a few times...and then he was gone." (Sources: David | | F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | citing John A. Keel, Strange Creatures from Time and Space; Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, case 39). | | 1968 - A huge, hairy creature was seen drinking from a pond in | | Curbarsi, Barcelona province, Spain during the daytime. Upon | | discovery by the owners of the property the creature fled. It matched | | the description by a passing motorist of a large hairy biped seen | | crossing the road several days earlier in Hostalrich. (Sources: David | | F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | citing FSR, July-August 1968; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1968, case 40). | | | | 1971 - At 10:30 p.m. Mr. Robert Milcher, age 18, and a 10-year-old | | boy in Brooksville, Florida saw a hovering UFO at least 50 feet in | | diameter. It had red lights and a searchlight like beam, which | | responded to their flashlight signals. Inside a lighted dome were | | 6-10 occupants dressed in green coveralls standing around a control | | panel. They waved at the witnesses. The two boys felt a numbness and | | stinging sensation in their arms and wrists. When the UFO departed, | | it emitted a sound like a swarm of bees. (Source: David F. Webb and | | Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1971-11, | | citing William H. Lefevre, Florida UFO Study Group). | | | | 1973 - Helene, age 14, was riding the family snowmobile near | | McWaters, Quebec with her two brothers and seven other teenaged | | friends, all on snowmobiles, when at around 9 p.m. a giant | | "headlight" rose from behind them and flew over, illuminating the | | entire landscape. After it had gone, all the boys went off on a race, | | leaving Helene behind. The brilliant light source then reappeared and | | flew back over her. She estimated it was 60 feet in diameter. | | Suddenly its light went out, and Helene thought it must have been a | | plane that had crashed somewhere behind her. She turned her | | snowmobile around and drove back about 150 meters, then got off and | | walked toward a very large dark bulk that she could make out among | | some trees. When she was about 50 feet from it a small, cold hand | | came from over her shoulder and seized her by the chin, attempting to | | drag her backwards. Thinking it must be her younger brother playing a | | joke, she broke free and pushed her attacker back so that he fell | | down into the snow. Turning to face him, she saw a childlike figure | | smaller than her 13-year-old brother sitting in the snow. She ran | | back to her snowmobile and grabbed a flashlight, and turned it on the | | person who was now walking slowly toward her. She saw it was a being | | less than four feet tall, clad in a dark, close fitting uniform with | | a "plated" surface, and wearing a helmet covering the head down to | | the chin. A visor on the helmet reflected the light from the | | flashlight, and the being's enormous eyes shone brightly in the | | light, like those of a cat. Terrified, Helene dropped the flashlight, | | ran to the snowmobile, and fled on it. She was joined by the other | | snowmobilers, who were returning for her. Her left arm was paralyzed, | | so she was taken to a doctor at Rouyn, who gave her a sedative. The | | next day several people went out to the landing site, where they | | found a large patch of snow melted down to the ground. It was 50 feet | | in diameter and shaped like a donut. Next to it were the footprints | | of two small bipeds, a few yards away from each other. The tracks | | were short and wide with a large protruding great toe. (Source: David | | F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1973-84, citing Jean Ferguson, Les Humanoides). | | | | 1975 - At about 8:45 p.m. a professional man and his companion were | | on a fishing holiday at a lakeside camp on Lake Sorrell, Tasmania. | | The main witness was also a former Royal Australian Air Force aircrew | | member. He saw three glowing objects in the northeast sky, one | | smaller than the other two, and watched them for some time since they | | appeared unusual. Then he noticed they were not moving in the same | | direction as the clouds. Two of the objects moved closer to him and | | hovered, then receded, intermittently obscurred by clouds. Each had a | | pulsating red light on the underside. The closer object also had a | | row of red lights around the rim that were either changing from red | | to white or rotating. After several minutes the clouds, which had | | temporarily obscurred the UFOs, started to glow and he saw one object | | emerge and travel in an easterly direction, stopping over the north | | shore of the lake. The second object was visible further to the | | north, stationary over Mount Penny. The main object was now very | | clearly defined with the red pulsating light very strong. It remained | | in the area for 8 to 10 minutes. After a bank of clouds went through | | with a passing storm, the object reappeared, glowed brightly, and | | suddenly zoomed toward the witnesses "at phenomenal speed." It | | stopped abruptly 900 meters away and 150 meters up. A brilliant, | | cone-shaped light beam was projected down toward the lake and swept | | across the terrain, illuminating the side of the mountain. Then it | | swept back across the lake beneath the object and faded out. The | | surface of the lake glowed a flourescent blue. The object then shot | | away to the northeast "at a colossal speed." The second object sped | | off in the same direction at the same time. Radio interference was | | reported at the time.

Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume | | II: A Thirty Year Report, pp. 220-221). | | | | Lake Sorell, Tasmania, Australia Close Encounter - 1975 | | | | [Sketch of Lake Sorell, Tasmania UFO - 1975] | | | | 1979 - Ernaldo Camusoni, age 49, was clearing an overgrown field at | | the entrance to a farm in Serodino, Santa Fe province, Argentina late | | in the evening after 8 p.m. when everything became illuminated behind | | him, turning the darkness into day. When he turned around he saw an | | approaching object land 40 meters away from him. He tried to make out | | what the object looked like, but the light emanating from it was too | | intense to capture much detail. The shape was like a truncated cone. | | As he approached the object, he saw a strange luminous figure emerge | | from the rear of the craft. The figure appeared to be robot-like in | | nature, lacking any arms, and it did not move its body when it | | walked. Its head appeared to be of normal size, but it had what | | appeared to be a trunk-like object coming from the area of the face. | | It wore a very shiny outfit. The robot entity walked towards the | | witness, approached to within three meters, and stood silently, | | seemingly observing the witness. Camusoni didn't feel afraid, but did | | feel curiosity towards the strange entity. Apparently the creature | | did not want to communicate since it suddenly wheeled around, | | returning to the object and disappeared behind it. The craft then | | rose up and disappeared at high speed towards the south, making a | | rushing sound. The whole encounter lasted five minutes. Ground traces | | were found the next day. (Source: UNICAT database, case #601, citing | | Oscar Alemanno, Quarta Dimension). | | | | 1983 - A mother and daughter named O'Driscoll, driving near the | | frozen White Pond in Kent Cliffs, Putnam County, New York at around 8 | | p.m. saw a silent, multi-colored 200-300 foot wide boomerang-shaped | | object with many lights, at a minimum distance of 100 meters, which | | seemed to respond to their thoughts. It had a criss-cross lattice | | structure and tubes on its underneath side. Their car radio | | experience RF interference. Another independent witness that night | | saw probably the same object, a V-shaped array of 50 lights with the | | colors amber, red, and blue. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek and Philip | | Imbrogno, Night Seige, p. 8; UNICAT database, case 209, citing J. | | Allen Hynek; Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth | | Kind, p. 156). | | | | 1984 - Project Hessdalen ends its instrumented study in the Hessdalen | | Valley of Norway, near Roros. Nocturnal lights were seen all over the | | sky, and appeared to "climb" up the mountains, then flash. Observers | | were hit by a spotlight at 3:10 a.m. on this date. (Source: Richard | | H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 246). | | | | 1994 - A witness in a residential area of Rosyth, Fife, Scotland took | | two photographs of a saucer-shaped object before he was temporarily | | paralyzed and frozen in place. The object hovered close by for 15 | | minutes. (Sources: UFO Newspaper Clipping Service, June 1994; Larry | | Hatch, U computer database, case 16318). | | | | 1997 - A man was driving to work near Lee, New Hampshire when he saw | | four balls of white light zigzag in unison over some nearby power | | lines. They then hovered about 50 feet from the ground looking a | | little blurry. The witness continued driving east on the road and ten | | minutes later saw the same lights again over a bog. At this point he | | began to hear voices inside his head. Now having stomach pains, he | | heard the voices warn him against studying UFOs. He then asked | | several questions, which the voices answered. When he came upon some | | large pine trees there was a blinding flash of orange light, and he | | felt his vehicle being lifted up. He then apparently lost | | consciousness. He woke up an hour later inside his vehicle. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1997, case # 2800, | | citing ISUR). | | | | 2000 - Three disc-shaped objects, estimated to be three times the | | size of 747s, were sighted flying in a V-shaped formation over | | Waterford, Ontario. They made a 90 degree turn together. The sighting | | lasted two minutes. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2000 Canadian UFO Survey, | | case 34). | | | | 2006 - In the late afternoon in Toronto, Ontario a witness was asked | | by his mother to come outside and check out a strange sight. Together | | they witnessed a disc-shaped object with a light underneath.  It was | | moving slowly through the sky, and appeared to be accompanied by many | | conventional aircraft. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2006 Canadian UFO | | Survey, case # 69, citing NUFORC). | | | | 2007 - A motorist driving down the highway in Sacramento, California | | at 11:00 a.m. saw a cigar-shaped craft with a red light in the | | middle.  The sighting lasted 15 seconds. Another cigar-shaped object | | was sighted in San Pedro, Los Angeles County, California at 3:48 p.m. | | The bottom of the object was red and the rest was white. The second | | sighting lasted 30 seconds. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center, Seattle, Feb. 2007 website, reports uploaded Mar. | | 8, 2007). | | | | 2008 - At 1:00 a.m. an upside down, white colored V-shaped craft flew | | over Long Beach, California. A large cigar-shaped object that spawned | | 8 to 10 or more bright saucer-shaped bright luminous objects, flew | | over San Fernando, California at 3:30 p.m. At 9:00 p.m. witnesses in | | Green Valley, Pima County, Arizona saw a triangular craft over the | | hills to the east, far off in the distance. The craft appeared to | | remain very stationary, but at times would move.
