(Source: | | Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1950 Supplement, p. 17). | | | | 1954 - A torpedo shaped UFO was seen on this afternoon at 3:20 p.m. | | over Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. It shot straight up into the sky when | | it left. (Source: Ahmad Jamaludin, Summary of Unidentified Flying | | Objects and Related Events in Malaysia, p. 12). | | | | 1954 - A U.S. Air Force F-86 fighter jet was scrambled to pursue a | | UFO over Nouasseur AFB in Morocco at 10:35 a.m. The UFO flew off | | toward the north, and the jet couldn't catch up with it despite | | accelerating to 530 mph. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in | | official statistics, case # 2937; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. | | 1950: January-March, p. 53). | | | | 1959 - On this night 6-year-old Kim Marks of Purnong Landing, South | | Australia was preparing for bed when he saw a five foot tall man with | | a crimson face, wearing a red jacket and trousers with white | | trimmings. He was visible for a minute and a half. Kim's dog did not | | react. A few hours later, a multi-colored luminous UFO was seen close | | to the Marks property. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1959-04, citing Keith | | Basterfield; Bill Chalker & Keith Basterfield, Australian Catalogue | | of Close Encounter Type Three Reports, case 7). | | | | 1967 - A boy who had gone outside in Rochester, Minnesota to buy a | | newspaper saw an object resembling an inverted mushroom hovering 10 | | meters above the ground. It was not larger than a car, tilted to a 45 | | degree orientation, oscillated, and left towards the northwest. He | | took three photographs of the UFO. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport | | to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 825). | | | | 1967 - Four boys, Bob & John Kangas, Mike Kauppi, and Scott Mackay, | | ages 9-12, were riding on a snowmobile in Palo, Minnesota at 2:15 | | p.m. when they saw a very bright light coming from an old abandoned | | hayshed, and a second beam of light about 100 yards away in an open | | field. Near the latter were 5 moving black "objects" about three to | | four feet high, arranged in a diamond formation with a fifth at the | | center. These "objects" or beings seemed to glide over the deep snow, | | then moved toward the beam of light and when they reached it, both | | the light and the "objects" faded out of sight. The boys headed for | | the nearest house, "visibly shaken, almost to the point of hysteria." | | Two footprints of an unidentifiable shape were found later at the | | site. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1967-23 (A0794), citing Annette J. Boyer, | | NICAP field investigator). | | | | 1967 - At 7:15 p.m. in McIntosh, South Dakota a single witness saw an | | object with red, green, and white lights. After he reported the | | incident, four young men went to the area to investigate. They saw | | four green lights hovering low over the road, but the engine of their | | car stalled as they approached. Because their car had stalled on a | | hill, they turned the car around and coasted downhill. The car | | re-started then, so they drove away without investigating further. | | (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, | | case 191, citing Coral & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs Over the Americas). | | | | 1967 - Clyde L. Dwyer observed a large disc-shaped object from a | | window in his South Glenn Falls, New York home at 10:30 p.m. It was | | approximately 100 feet in diameter and hovered motionless 175-200 | | yards southeast of his home. Three large square windows were spaced | | around the midline of the object and just below these, jets of what | | appeared to be steam were emitted continually from a number of | | equidistant points around the object. Its dark mass was illuminated | | by a nearby street lamp. A white light shone from the windows, and | | two men and a woman could be seen in the central window, with two | | more men standing behind the window to the right. Although no | | distinguishing characteristics could be seen, "these figures were | | definitely of human appearance." After hovering for about five | | minutes, the object gradually departed toward the southwest. No sound | | was heard at any time. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-24, citing Richard | | Bonenfant, CUFOS). | | | | 1967 - A woman and her daughter driving home from church at 11:30 | | p.m. in Letart Falls, Ohio rounded a corner in a wooded area and saw | | a huge white figure appear suddenly in front of their car. The | | creature appeared to have very long hair and was in sight for several | | seconds before it shot upward into the sky and disappeared. The | | witnesses assumed they had seen an "angel." (Sources: John A. Keel, | | FSR, July-August 1968, p. 13; John A Keel, The Mothman Prophecies, p. | | 119). | | | | 1969 - Mr. K. Maslund, a radio and TV station technician, was at work | | at his TV station at 6:30 p.m. in Trejorningsjo, Angermanland, Sweden | | when he heard the station’s transmission alarm system go off. Opening | | the door, he saw outside about 50 feet away a UFO 150 meters wide and | | 5-6 meters tall, hovering in the air. A “tunnel of light” extended | | from the object through which the witness saw 7 or 8 entities, about | | 1.30 meters tall by 30-40 cm wide, floating towards him. They passed | | Maslund within inches and he found that he could not move; after 5-10 | | minutes, they left the station and re-entered the object through the | | tunnel, which then closed. The object then took off toward the north | | and the witness was again able to move. The entities were | | non-humanoid in shape, looking more like boxes than anything; he had | | the feeling the entities were inside the boxes and did not want to be | | recognized in their “true form.” (Source: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-22, citing | | Richard Heiden and the Swedish UFO Group). | | | | 1969 - That same evening a family in Merida, Badajoz, Spain saw a | | disc-shaped object with a dome which glowed "brighter than the sun." | | It buzzed their car and their car headlights failed. The object then | | paced the car closely for 20 minutes at a low altitude. A woman also | | saw the object when she went outside her home after her television | | reception had heavy interference and static. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, | | UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 268, citing | | Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, FSR Special Issue #3, UFOs in Two | | Worlds) | | | | 1974 - Keith McDonald and his family were watching at least three | | UFOs from the window of their living room in Grayslake, Illinois when | | everyone but Keith became extremely tired and went off to bed. Keith | | next experienced a time lapse of several hours. Under hypnosis he | | recalled that three small entities with large eyes, long arms, and | | pointed ears entered the house and made mumbling sounds. (Source: | | David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case1974-67, citing Douwe Bosga, Jerry Clark, Mimi Hynek & Ron Owen). | | | | 1975 - At 4:30 a.m. several anglers fishing in the surf at Punta | | Ocoa, Dominican Republic saw a domed, disc-shaped object approaching | | their location. The dome was transparent and illuminated from the | | inside. Visible inside the craft stood two human-looking figures, | | wearing bulky helmets on their heads, looking out and working | | controls. The craft dove into the ocean and disappeared beneath the | | waves. (Source: Leonte Objio, APRO Bulletin, January 1982, p. 5). | | | | 2000 - In the early evening around 6 p.m. three employees of the San | | Miguel Corporation, a large beer and beverage maker in Manila, the | | Philippines were walking across the company parking lot to their car | | when they noticed a strange glow emanating from a large tree on their | | left. It was a pale blue color. Thinking that it was some sort of | | decorative lighting, they ignored it and kept walking. Then they | | heard a low rumbling noise that sounded like: "Anong balita, anong | | balita." Looking back they caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a | | naked, human like creature with white hair and glowing rings imbedded | | in its wrists like shiny cufflinks. It leapt away with incredible | | speed. With a blur it vanished into some bushes. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2000, citing Mystical Universe). | | | | 2004 - At four a.m. Mr. M. N. was driving east on Wellington Street | | in Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario at the southeastern end of Lake | | Superior and as he came to the center city (known to locals as Soo, | | Canada). He noticed a vertical beam of light in the early morning | | sky, from the top of a hill to the north. He stopped his vehicle at a | | cross street and looked all the way to the end of the street, about 7 | | blocks away, where the street ends at the base of the hill and has a | | metal stairwell leading to McDonald Avenue. His eyes focused on a | | little dark figure standing very still. This caught his curiosity, so | | he slowly drove towards it. It then started moving from side to side, | | using fluid movements as if it was floating in the air. It moved as | | if confused, or afraid and didn't know what to do. As he got closer, | | the figure's appearance seemed to have metamorphosed into a | | transparent, shadow-like entity that very swiftly flew up the stairs. | | To his astonishment, the beam of light that he had seen in the | | distant sky a few minutes before was now at the top of the hill, only | | 100 feet away. With his heart racing he drove as fast as he could | | eastward along the base of the hill until he came to the nearest | | street that climbed the hill and drove up McDonald Avenue to see what | | was happening. He arrived at the top of the hill only to find three | | circle-shaped burn markings on the pavement of the street. About 10 | | seconds later he heard a weird kind of gunshot sound. When he looked | | up to the sky he saw a bright light shooting up into the stars. As he | | watched the spectacle a peaceful feeling came over him and he felt as | | if every hair on his body was standing on end. The feeling of well | | being felt like it lasted only a brief 30 seconds, but when he looked | | again at his watch it was at least 40 minutes later. (Source: Albert | | S.
