(Sources: Gordon I. R. | | Lore, Jr. & Harold H. Dennault, Jr., Mysteries of the Skies: UFOs in | | Perspective, p. 191; Loren E. Gross, The UFO Wave of 1896, p. 3). | | | | 1947 - At 11:30 a.m. 47,000 people in a new football stadium in | | Managua, Nicaragua saw several silver saucers descend, spin and hover | | for several seconds; then they shot straight up and away. (Source: | | Jan Aldrich, Project 1947: A Preliminary Report on the 1947 UFO | | Sighting Wave, p. 121). | | | | 1948 - South of Nevada, Missouri a witness first heard a whirring | | sound at 4 p.m., then saw a large disc-shaped object hovering. Two | | small objects dropped from the disc and flew away to the southwest. | | The disc then flew off toward the northeast. (Source: Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case # 1358, citing Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A | | History. 1948, p. 95). | | | | 1952 - during the Korean War, two Americans flying in a T-6 | | aircraft over Pyongyang Sector CT 7943 at 1:07 p.m. local time saw a | | 10 foot diameter silver sphere below their plane. It flew north for 5 | | miles, then made a 180 degree turn to the south and climbed in | | altitude. When the plane banked toward the UFO, it banked into a | | left-hand orbit around the aircraft. (Source: Richard Haines, | | Advanced Aerial Devices during the Korean War, p. 57; Dominique | | Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 19; UNICAT, case # 753). | | Also in 1952, a elliptical blue-white light was spotted from an Air | | Force B-47 bomber over Wichita, Kansas at 20:25 p.m. It had an orange | | or red tail, and moved erratically. The case is listed as a Project | | Blue Book "unknown." At 6:45 p.m. a ring of colored lights, rotating | | counter-clockwise, was sighted at 400' altitude north of Frederica, | | Delaware. (Sources: Project Blue Book, case 2224; Loren Gross, UFOs: | | A History 1952: November-December, p. 23). | | | | 1954 - In Augusta, Maine 10 gold circular objects flew slowly in a | | vertical V formation at a low altitude at four o'clock in the | | afternoon. The civilian witness was named Gallant, and the sighting | | lasted three minutes. This is a Project Blue Book case classified as | | "unidentified". (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics, case # 3326; Don Berliner, The Blue Book Unknowns, p. | | 24). | | | | 1957 - In 1957, at 2:00 in the afternoon, cars stalled when their drivers | | attempted to approach a 200' diameter metallic UFO hovering 300' over | | an aerodrome in Cachoeira, Brazil. East of Viking, Minnesota, at | | 11:45 that night, a parked car was buffeted by a flying disc, 100 | | yards away. The occupants of the car heard and felt tapping | | underneath the car. (Sources: NICAP files; Loren Gross, UFOs: A | | History 1957 (Volume 9), p. 22). | | | | 1959 - The witness, a young man who was on leave from the Army, had | | been driving on U.S. highway 99 near Marysville, California with two | | friends when he suddenly found himself onboard a hovering, | | bluish-white craft. His two friends had apparently been put to sleep | | and were not disturbed. The witness was taken by six four-foot tall | | humanoids with large human like eyes to a room that had many | | instruments, and was given a medical examination. The beings wore | | silvery gray outfits with a dark triangle-like insignia on their | | chest. They glided above the floor instead of walking. The witness | | was later deposited back in his vehicle unharmed. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1959, case # 196, citing Nick H. | | Edwards, CUFORN Bulletin, November-December 1988). | | | | 1963 - Peter Valko and Jim Keosian ran toward a strange object that | | appeared about to land in Bloomingdale, New Jersey, but it | | "vanished." (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century | | of Landings, case 587). | | | | 1966 - Two duck hunters in a boat offshore of Beverly, Massachusetts | | saw a cigar-shaped object hovering over the Beverly Farms area around | | 7:15 a.m. (Source: Ray Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 342.). | | | | 1966 - Newell Partridge was sitting at home at 10:30 p.m. in Salem, | | West Virginia when suddenly the TV blanked out. A very fine | | herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and at the same time the | | set started making a loud whining noise, increasing to a high pitch, | | peaking and then breaking off, as if on a musical scale, sounding | | like a generator winding up. Outside on his porch, his dog Bandit | | began wailing. Partridge picked up a flashlight and went out in the | | yard to investigate. The dog was sitting at the end of the porch, | | howling down toward the hay barn in the bottom. Partridge shined the | | light in that direction, and it picked up two red circles or eyes, | | which looked like bicycle reflectors. There was something about the | | eyes that was difficult to explain. They were huge and plainly | | visible at a distance of 150 yards. As soon as the flashlight picked | | out the eyes his dog Bandit snarled and ran toward them. A "cold | | chill" swept over the man and he felt a wave of fear, which kept him | | from following the dog. That night he slept with a loaded gun beside | | his bed. The next day he went looking for his dog with a friend. They | | found tracks, and at the approximate position of the "eyes" he found | | a large number of dog tracks. The tracks were going in a circle, as | | if the dog had been chasing its tail. Then the tracks vanished, the | | dog was never seen again. At around 11:30 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Steve | | Mallette and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Scarberry reported that their car was | | followed in Point Pleasant, West Virginia around 11:30 p.m. by a gray | | "bird-like creature" six to seven feet tall and with a ten foot | | wingspan. When the car headlights struck the creature its eyes, about | | two inches in diameter, glowed red. It finally scurried into a field | | and disappeared. (Sources: UPI press dispatch in the Cleveland Press, | | November 16, 1966; APRO Bulletin, November-December 1966, p. 10; John | | A Keel, FSR, July 1968, p. 7; John Keel, The Mothman Prophecies, p. | | 59). | | | | 1967 - At 3:30 p.m. a slender delta-shaped object, shiny and metallic | | in appearance, was sighted by a BEA pilot at high altitude in flight | | over Florence, Italy. It had a notch in its shortest edge. (Sources: | | NICAP UFO Investigator, February 1968, p. 3; Dominique Weinstein, | | Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 36) | | | | 1969 - Three people in Corral de Bustos, Argentina observed a | | luminous object approach their car at great speed around 2:30 a.m.. | | As it passed over the road close to the car the car tachometer needle | | fell to zero rpms. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving | | Vehicle Interference, p. 48). | | | | 1969 - The witness was at his window in Nancy, France at 5 p.m. | | awaiting the arrival of some pigeons that he customarily fed. He | | spotted a transparent cupola with two heads visible inside that was | | behind a nearby chimney. He initially had no reaction, but when he | | turned back to look out the window a short time later he saw the UFO | | fly slowly from behind the chimney. It was a gray metallic disc with | | a transparent dome on top. It had many lights resembling car | | headlights visible around its circumference. He exclaimed, “But it’s | | a saucer!” and heard a voice whisper outside his ear: “Yes, it is a | | saucer, do not be afraid, it was necessary that you see it.” | | | | The two beings inside the dome then looked at themselves, and then | | turned their heads towards the witness while smiling at him. Their | | heads then disappeared from inside the objec, and at that same moment | | two other UFOs, identical to the first, also with visible figures | | inside transparent domes fly over the roofs about 70 meters above | | him. The first object joined the other two and all three flew towards | | the north. The witness tried to notify his neighbors but found | | himself in a kind of stupor with his face and hands swollen and a red | | bump on his forehead. A red scar on his forehead was still visible | | when last examined by investigators in 1978. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, case # 2418, citing M. | | Figeut and Ruchon, OVNI Dossier). | | | | 1973 - On this night in 1973, a UFO was seen from the air near Managua, | | Nicaraugua by helicopter and airline pilots, and was also seen by | | ground observers. It had blue and green flashing lights, and was | | tracked on radar. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, | | p.038-18). | | | | 1973 - A bus driver in Catavi, Bolivia reported encountering a little | | man no more than 30 centimeters in height at the house of a family | | named Siles. He explained that the little humanoid spoke four | | languages and was interested in meeting "important officials". He ate | | raw meat, carrots and the family kept him in a small cage. Another | | local woman reported seeing two strange humanoids when she looked | | inside one of the windows of the Siles family. She described the | | being as having elongated heads with fish-like eyes. They wore shiny | | metallic, silvery outfits. When the beings spoke they appeared to | | emit an "electronic"' buzzing sound. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1969, citing La Razon, Buenos Aires, | | November 1973, Fabio Picasso). | | | | 1974 - At 5:30 p.m. a woman was tending to some animals on her farm | | near Castelleale, Emilia-Romagna Province, Italy when she noticed | | that some of the chickens and rabbits were acting panicky, running | | around strangely, and staring upwards. She glanced up and saw on top | | of her house, at roof top height, a "man in a spacesuit" sitting on a | | 0.6 meter wide box-like object that was swinging back and forth, | | apparently looking for something. The man was described as tall, | | heavy set, and wearing a shiny one-piece uniform with green, red, and | | white markings and large square boots. He wore a helmet with a visor | | that covered his face. He appeared to be dark complexioned. The man | | sat on the object, holding a rod like device rocking slowly to and | | fro. He then moved slowly towards the east where a vivid white light | | hovered. When she saw the light she immediately felt a wave of heat | | coming from it. The humanoid then flew slowly towards a nearby | | cemetery, followed closely by the bright light. He appeared to circle | | the area several times before disappearing from sight. (Sources: | | Verga Maurizio, ITACAT database; Albert S. Rosales, 1974 Humanoid | | Sighting Reports database, case # 796, citing Gianfranco Lollino, | | FSR, Volume 32, issue 4).  | | 1975 - a disc-shaped UFO rose from the sea near a large radio antenna | | in Marseille, France. It circled, then made a 90 degree turn to the | | south and flew out to sea. | | | | 1975 - Also in 1975, a red flying object approached a car driven by a Mrs. | | Prichard with three passengers in Pacific, Missouri, then ejected | | several white balls of light (BOLs). The metal of the car was | | magnetized after the encounter. (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, | | September 1976; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle | | Interference, p. 66.) | | | | 1978 - A circular green object was sighted by military fighter pilots | | while flying over eastern Washington State. Also, a brilliant green | | ovoid UFO was sighted that night near the ocean shore in Innisfail, | | Queensland, Australia. The witness was a 24-year-old man named | | O'Brien. He described the UFO as being only 100 feet away from him | | and having blurred edges. As he watched, the glow surrounding the | | object became elongated. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO | | Encounters, p. 42-07; Australian Centre for UFO Studies Catalogue of | | UFO Reports, 1978-1982, p. 10.) | | | | 1978 - An electronics worker in his twenties was driving his car in | | East Islip, New York on this same night at 6 p.m. when a flash of | | light led to a period of unconsciousness. Later than night he | | recalled in flashbacks that five beings came to his car and pushed | | down the window. They then took him somewhere, examined him and | | walked him through a strange, unusual environment. His next conscious | | memory was of sitting by the road nowhere near his car. His clothes | | were in disarray, his shoes untied, and his shirt buttoned | | improperly. At first his memory was so impaired that he could not | | even remember the name of his wife or his telephone number. (Source: | | Budd Hopkins, "UFO Abductions: The invisible epidemic," in MUFON | | Symposium Proceedings 1981, p. 45). | | | | 1989 - In Gulf Breeze, Florida on this date in 1989, in the evening around 9 | | p.m., a beige colored cigar-shaped object was sighted.

(Source: MUFON UFO Journal, February 1993). | | On this night in 1991 a group of coon hunters in Marshall, Arkansas | | saw a tremendously large boomerang-shaped UFO, the size of three | | football fields. It had bright pulsating white lights. Three large | | red lights separated from the UFO and flew away. The men fled in | | fear. Also on this night at about 8 p.m. a West Virginia coal miner | | was driving on US highway 460 in Tazewell, Virginia. He saw a silent | | metallic ovoid UFO, 40-50 feet in length, glide into a cloud. | | (Sources: Timothy Good, Alien Update, p. 240; Bob Teets, West | | Virginia UFOs: Close Encounters in the Mountain State, p. 139). | | | | 1993 - In 1993, near Baltimore, Maryland, on US highway 74, a house-sized | | ovoid UFO nearly ran a car with a single witness off the road at 7:45 | | p.m. After buzzing the car the UFO hovered, then shot up into the | | sky. Earlier that afternoon, in Gulf Breeze, Florida, Ed Walters | | videotaped a UFO lurching up into a cloud. In Matthews, North | | Carolina, a driver reported that another silent UFO dropped down in | | front of his car at about 5:15 p.m. It hovered, then moved off. | | (Sources: MUFON case investigations database, case 931216E; Ed | | Walters, UFOs are Real: Here's the Proof, p. 41; UFO Newsclipping | | Service, April 1994). | | | | 1993 - In what seemed like a dream-like state, late on this night a | | woman whose home is near Dallas, Texas found herself in an unknown | | location with three short, gray-skinned humanoids who were "talking" | | to her, probably using telepathy to communicate. These Grey beings | | were about three to four feet tall, and told her that Armageddon | | would not be what most people think it will be. At the same time, | | there were several tall beings standing off to the side, and they | | seemed "in charge," quietly observing everything. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, 1993 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case # 2977, | | citing Amy Lynn). | | | | 1994 - At 8:45 p.m. a large, silent, diamond-shaped object hovered | | over a house south of Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia.

In Del Norte, Colorado Keith C. saw a strange, | | bright, multi-colored light that was remaining motionless over the | | Sangre de Christo Mountains. The light appeared to be pulsating and | | did not rise with the planets and stars. (Source: Christopher | | O'Brien, Christopher O'Brien case files, cases 613 & 614). | | | | 2001 - At 8:00 p.m. in Boyne City, Michigan, a huge diamond-shaped | | UFO with an elongated bottom, a light on each end, and an orange | | light in the middle, flew toward the northwest.
