There was a pilot sitting in the | | front. (Sources: (1) Carl Grove, FSR, November 1970, p. 17; Brinsley | | Le Poer Trench, Mysterious Visitors, p. 99; (2) Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case 265, citing FSR, January 1971). | | | | 1952 - An U.S.A.F. F-51 aircraft flying over North Korea watched an | | unidentified object following a jet interceptor at 6:35 p.m. The | | object was subsequently in front of the F-51, with a positive radar | | lock-on. At 6,000 yards distance the object pulled away with an | | acceleration of 20 G's. At 8:00 p.m. a silvery oval object was seen | | below two F-86E jets flying south of Changson-Ni, North Korea at | | 8,000-10,000 altitude. The object was estimated to be 20 miles away, | | and travelled at a speed of 1,200 -1,500 mph in a "rolling maneuver." | | (Source: Richard F. Haines, Advanced Aerial Devices Reported During | | the Korean War, p. 39). | | | | 1956 - Two police watched four 30 meter diameter discs exit from a | | 150 meter cigar-shaped mother craft over Johot Baharu, Malaysia at | | 9:15 p.m. The discs then flew to the south in a V formation.

At 2:30 p.m. a | | 10-year-old girl saw a little man, three feet tall, reclining under a | | shrub pine tree. He had white hair, a small goatee, long arms, a | | reddish-blue complexion, and wore greenish clothing. He looked | | injured and appeared to be bleeding. He had more fingers on his hands | | than a normal human. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, cases A0591 & A0592, citing Orvil R. | | Hartle). | | | | 1964 - Two UFOs were tracked on radar from the Stallion Missile Site | | on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico beginning at 11:30 | | p.m. (Sources: Coral E.

The man had large blue eyes, red hair, and very large ears. | | He wore a tight fitting red coverall like garment with short sleeves, | | boots, and bracelets on both arms. On his chest he wore an insignia | | of white dots, and he wore a white cap on his head that looked | | nickel-plated. He also wore a wide belt, from which hung a small box | | with a small antenna. The collosus pulled up a large piece of wood | | and sat down on it. He greeted Hamburgo in slightly accented Spanish, | | and introduced himself as "Wirkle, Chief of the Guard." He answered | | Benito's questions, anticipating them before the witness actually | | spoke them. He said he was from a very distant "region" and that they | | were an advanced race, concerned about the misuse of atomic energy. | | When he left he refused to shake hands, explaining that contact with | | him would aggravate Benito's cardiac condition. (Sources: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1967-39 (A0812), citing Mike Culbert & Paul Cerny; Daily Gazette, | | July 24, 1968). | | | | 1967 - A pilot and police along with several other witnesses in | | northeast Indianapolis, Indiana sighted a fat, multi-colored | | cigar-shaped UFO with a brilliant light in front at 11:15 p.m. There | | were no blimps flying at the time. It shot straight up (or at a very | | steep angle) very rapidly. The object was confirmed on radar. | | (Source: Frank Edwards, Flying Saucers - Here and Now! p. 246). | | 1971 - Fifteen-year-old Michael D. of Passapatanzy, West Virginia was | | on his way home with his dog after camping out the previous day with | | two other boys. He was crossing a grassy field at 10:00 p.m. when he | | saw a bright object slowly approach at a low altitude, passing over | | some high-tension wires that crossed the field. He crouched down in | | some tall grass as the object landed with a bounce, about 100 feet | | away. The silvery UFO was higher than it was wide and had a "walkway" | | that ran around its circumference. It had red and white revolving | | lights on top and made a humming noise. A door "came down" out of | | which emerged a "huge" figure who was hunched over and walked in a | | "stiff legged, bouncing" fashion. The humanoid being had long arms | | and wore shiny, light reflecting clothing. In one hand it held a | | glowing box. The humanoid giant appeared to be approaching the tall | | grassy area where Michael was hiding, so the teenage ordered his dog | | to attack the figure. The being then turned and re-boarded the craft, | | and within a couple of minutes it took off. His companions from the | | camping expedition came and found Michael a short time later still in | | the grass, moaning and very frightened. The next day seven holes | | where found in the ground at the site. They were 2.5 inches wide at | | the top and a foot deep into the soil. Two days later, Michael and | | several other family members saw a bright disc-shaped object, which | | had been pursuing his sisters as they drove in a car up the long | | driveway to their house. (Sources: John Carlson, NICAP UFO | | Investigor, May 1972 p. 1; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1971-17, citing John Carlson and | | Bruce Maccabee for NICAP). | | | | 1973 - At 3:10 a.m. northwest of Tosny, Eure Department, France a car | | experience radio interference in the presence of a UFO. The | | disc-shaped object then arced up into sky, changed shape into a | | rocket, and vanished. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 141). | | | | 1973 - At around 4:00 p.m. Fay, a 7-year-old girl, was with a boy | | about her own age on the golf course in Sandown, Isle of Wight, | | England when they heard a wailing siren at around 4 p.m. They | | followed it through a hedge into a swampy meadow, where the noise | | ceased. As they were crossing a brook by a footbridge a strange | | figure came out from under the bridge. This person fumbled with a | | book, dropped it in the water, retrieved it, and then went with "a | | strange hopping motion, with knees raised high" to a metallic "hut" | | with no windows. | | | | The being was nearly 7-foot tall and neckless. He wore a yellow, | | pointed, hood with a black knob on top with "wooden" antennae or | | horns on the sides, and a green tunic with a red collar. "His face | | had triangular markings for eyes, a brown square of a nose and | | motionless yellow lips." Other round markings were on his paper-white | | cheeks, and a fringe of red hair fell onto his forehead. "Wooden | | slats" protruded from his sleeves and from below his white trousers. | | There were only three fingers on each blue-gloved hand and 3 toes on | | his bare, white feet. The being took from the hut a black knobbed | | microphone, into which he spoke to the children, now 50 meters away, | | saying "Hello, are you still there?" | | | | Since his tone sounded friendly, they approached him. He then wrote | | in a "notebook", in a large hand, "Hello and I am all colors, Sam." | | Talking without the aid of a microphone, his lips did not move, and | | his speech was unclear. They asked about his clothes, which were all | | ripped, and "asked if he was really a man." "No", he replied, with a | | chuckle. When they asked if he was a ghost, he answered "Well, not | | really, but I am in an odd sort of way." "What are you then?" they | | asked, but he replied, "You know." He also said that he had no name, | | and "confided that he was frightened of people." | | | | At his invitation, the children crawled through a flap into his hut, | | which he told them he had "just made." It contained two levels. The | | lower, which "had plenty of headroom", was "wall papered" in blue | | green and covered with a pattern of dials; there was an electric | | heater and simple wooden furniture. The upper level, less spacious, | | had a metal floor. He told the children that he fed on berries, and | | drank the river water after cleaning it. He said he had a camp on the | | mainland. Inside the hut he removed his hat to reveal round, white | | ears and sparse brown hair. Before eating a berry, he performed an | | "odd trick" with it; he placed the berry in his ear, where it | | disappeared and reappeared at one of his triangular eyes."repeating | | the process, the berry traveled to his mouth." The children talked to | | this being for at least half an hour, then rushed across the golf | | links to tell the firs man they had seen a ghost.

At 11:15 p.m. an | | ovoid UFO being watched by two on the road between Routh and Wawne, | | Humberside, England abruptly vanished. At 11:30 p.m. a sole observer | | in Cottingham, Humberside watched an object that was first round in | | shape, but later assumed a cigar-like configuration. Finally, there | | were several reports from independent witnesses and photographs of a | | silvery disc-shaped object from Rothbury, Northumberland. (Source: J. | | Bernard Delair, UFO Register, volume 5 (1974), cases 258-260). | | | | 1974 - On this day a businessman and a teacher had a UFO pace their | | car as they drove on the road in Pedroche, Spain. The object was | | described as round object and the size of table. When it intercepted | | their course they turned the car around and fled. (Source: Richard H. | | Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 346). | | | | 1974 - At 1:00 p.m. a dull gray, banana-shaped object was sighted | | hovering 60 meters over an electronics plant in Arroyo Grande, San | | Luis Obispo County, California; it made no noise, and the sighting | | lasted four minutes. There were independent witnesses. (Source: Larry | | Hatch, U computer database, case # 11321, citing NICAP UFO | | Investigator, July 1974). | | | | 1977 - Two twin sisters had gone into Middle Cliff field, at St. | | Brides, Pembrokeshire, Wales not farm from their home at Ripperston | | Farm, to play games. It was just after three o'clock when they saw a | | silver-suited figure walking away from them, about 60 to 70 feet | | away. The being went up to a hedge and seemed to walk through the | | barbed-wire fence adjacent to it. It then disappeared. On the other | | side of the field a silvery-white disc-shaped object with a red light | | landed. A a ramp-like stairway came out and a red "box" was ejected | | down the stairway to the ground. The stairs were then retracted, and | | the door in the object closed and the UFO took off. The girls ran | | home for their mother, but when they returned to the field there was | | no sign of the object or the being. The UFO was seen again that day, | | flying seaward, and large footprints were found in the grass at the | | landing site. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, | | July 1978, p. 1; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1977-27, citing Randall Jones Pugh for | | BUFORA). | | | | 1978 - At 1:00 a.m. the 24-year-old river pilot of the 'Lisa C' and | | another crewmember on the Apalachicola River, five miles south of | | Wewahitchka, Florida had a four minute close encounter with a 30-50 | | wide domed disc-shaped object coming out of the water. It had 8-10 | | illuminated windows, and each window was estimated to be 4-foot | | square, and was a frosty pink color.

He observed a hovering | | multi-colored, luminous cube-shaped object that was making a buzzing | | sound and emitting a yellow beam. He then received telepathic | | thoughts telling him that the cube was not occupied, but soon | | human-like beings would arrive on Earth. After conversing with the | | voice for an hour he was told, "soon we shall return to chat with | | you." (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, July 1978, | | p. 1; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case A1940, citing IUR). | | | | 1980 - At 12:40 a.m. a Mr. Hughes, driving on the M53 Motorway in | | Wirral, Merseyside, England sighted an object shaped like two curved | | artillery shells side-by-side close to the ground. Two shielded beams | | of light were projected downward from the object onto the ground. | | (Source: Alan Bell, FSR, August 1981, p. 13). | | | | 1986 - On this night a 70-year-old farmer named Joaquim, who lived | | near Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil watched a lighted object | | hovering about 50 paces away and approximately 15 meters above the | | ground for about 30 minutes. The object flashed a beam of light | | around the terrain, and it occasionally struck the witness as he | | stood in his doorway. Because of the brilliance of the light, he | | shielded his face with his left arm, but at one point the light | | struck his right eye. Joaquim said he heard voices, but couldn't | | understand the language. As the object glided away it hit some | | electric wires and broke one of them. He reportedly lost about 80% of | | the vision in his right eye, and he had a sunburn-like burn on his | | left arm.

Ware, MUFON UFO Journal, August 1991, p. 14, | | citing Stan Gordon, case # 910701E). | | | | 1991 - On this afternoon a short green humanoid with red oval-shaped | | eyes and huge pointed ears was spotted on the grounds of the local | | elementary school in Mini Mini, Puerto Rico. It apparently tried to | | communicate with one of the children from the kindergarten class. It | | spoke to the child in a "chatter" type of language, but ran off | | quickly into the bushes when some other children approached. Later | | that afternoon, two boys were playing in the area close to the | | earlier encounter when they heard a noise and saw the same or similar | | strange being emerge from the woods. They described him as short and | | bright green in color. He had an oval head with large almond-shaped | | eyes and huge pointed ears. He was thin with very long arms, and | | hands with only three digits on them. The being stood looking at the | | boys, emitting a strange "chatter" like noise. The boys threw fruit | | at it and then chased it, but it ran quickly and disappeared down an | | aqueduct. At one point the creature caused one of the boys to fall | | down by grabbing him by the foot. (Source: Albert S.

It was | | observed by two prison guards on the security video cameras, but was | | not visible to the naked eye. (Sources: UFO Newsclipping Service, | | July 1994; Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland: The Secret History of | | Scotland's UFO Phenomenon, p. 176). | | | | 1995 - On this evening Sr. Dolores Torres had gone out in his | | backyard in Barranquitas, Guayama, Puerto Rico to cut down some | | banana plants when everything around him became illuminated by | | multicolored lights of blue, yellow, red, and white. He looked up and | | saw a small transparent cylindrical object, only 14 inches long and 3 | | inches wide, suspended in the air. It appeared to be held in place by | | a dark cable coming down from above. At the same time he could hear a | | loud buzzing sound. Moments later Sr. Torres saw a large dark "form" | | that floated or flew down towards him. He could see that it was a | | humanoid figure enclosed in a dark "wing-shaped" outfit hovering over | | him. The being had a human-like face, was gray in color and had huge | | eyes that appeared to be closed. It wore a tight-fitting helmet or | | cap. The figure attempted to approach the witness, and he began | | swinging at it with his machete. Finally, the being and the | | multicolored cylinder glided away. Mr. Torres had a nervous collapse | | and had to be hospitalized. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1995, citing Jorge Martin, Evidencia OVNI, issue | | #6). | | | | 2000 - At 11:45 p.m. a married couple living north of Pine Gap near | | Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia responded by going | | outside when their dogs started barking and noticed a large dark | | object with lights that flew over from north to south, making no | | sound.

They approached the Black Sea and were in view | | for 20 minutes. A white-yellowish light was seen over the city of | | South Simferopol' that evening, changing brightness and pulsating, | | moving directly to the east. It appeared every other night from May | | 13 to May 21. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's | | Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 35, 44, citing Anton A. | | Anfalov, Ukrainian UFO Research Association, an@crimea.com) | | | | 2004 - A woman reported seeing several objects hovering above her | | townhouse in Towson, Maryland at 12:30 a.m. She also reported that a | | Grey humanoid came into her home, and feeling a strange giddiness at | | the time unlike anything else she had ever experienced. She had a | | missing time experience, lasting at least 35 minutes. She has | | requested a complete investigation by MUFON. During the encounter the | | being made telepathic contact with her, and she experienced feelings | | of peacefulness, describing the entity as an "old friend". She felt | | that the entity seemed to express concern for her.

The dam is on the Rio Caroni, 100 km south of | | the Orinoco River at Ciudad Bolivar. The incident was witnessed by | | workers at the dam and took place northwest of their location. | | Soldiers of Venezuela's Guardia Nacional reportedly proceeded to | | cordon off the area, and undertook stringent security measures | | further north. In Puerto Ordaz residents saw low-flying, black | | helicopters cross the overcast sky, heading south towards the dam. | | The presence of U.S. military personnel was also reported, although | | relations between the governments of Venezuela and the United States | | are not cordial. The seismology unit at the University of Caracas | | reported movement at the time of the crash. Access to the crash site | | was difficult due to the torrential rains at the site during this | | time of the year.
