Soon | | a bright saucer-shaped object descended and landed very close to the | | car. A small being, described as wearing a Hitler-like uniform, ran | | by the car and was seen by several observers. It ran away from the | | group of witnesses when they attempted to approach and communicate | | with him. The craft soon took off. A dog was supposedly excited | | during the encounter.

It flew | | away, making a noise like wet fireworks, and throwing magnesium-like | | sparks. (Sources: Le Parisien, September 29, 1954; Aime Michel, | | Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 49; Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia, p. 210). | | | | 1962 - Two bright discs were first seen at 5:00 p.m., then again at | | 6:00 p.m., at the state line near Oradell, New Jersey. Two witnesses | | saw one round object with a fin on top, and another under it at 7:50 | | p.m., and reported that it was going down toward the Oradell | | Reservoir. Three young men next saw and heard the object as it | | touched the water. Another witness called the police. The luminous | | object took off a few minutes later. The official investigation | | described it as bright, surrounded with a glow, and the apparent size | | of a small plane one kilometer away. It left flying toward the south. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | case # 547, citing Project Blue Book files). | | | | 1963 - At six o'clock in the evening Mrs. F. E. Roush of Vandalia, | | Ohio reported seeing two very bright gold objects in the sky, one | | shaped like a banana and the other like an ear of corn. One UFO | | remained stationary while the other moved from west to north. The | | sighting lasted 10 minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook | | UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1965 - Two policemen, John Lockem and Koos de Klerk, were on patrol | | on the Pretoria-Bronkhorstspruit Road in Silverton, South Africa just | | before midnight when their headlights illuminated a disc-shaped | | object resting on the road. It was 10 meters in diameter | | and copper-colored. Ten seconds later it took off in a pool of flames | | at high speed. The tar on the road kept burning for some time after | | the UFO left, leaving behind a large hole in the bitumen.

Unusual radioactivity and strange traces were | | claimed to have been found at the spot. This was the first highly | | publicized case of many more such animal and cattle mutilations to | | occur in the San Luis Valley. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 883, Edward U. Condon | | (editor),  Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 344).  | | | | 1967 - In Winsted, Connecticut at 8:45 p.m. two teenage girls | | observed a large, glowing object, and three small figures, about 1.25 | | meters tall, with oversized heads, running across a road near a barn. | | From the object came a noise similar to that of "a power mower when | | it fires but fails to start." The object blacked out, and the figures | | hid while a car passed, afterwards the object pulsated between very | | bright white and dull red, and moved diagonally several times. | | (Sources: Jim & Coral Lorenzen, UFOs Over the Americas, p. 166; | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # | | 883, citing Lorenzens and Edward U. Condon (editor),  Scientific | | Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 347) | | | | 1968 - Near Ocala, Florida. 9:30 p.m. Missionary pilot Jay Cole, | | flying a Beech C-45 twin-engine utility plane, observed an | | unidentified light performing aerobatics in the night sky. He watched | | it for 15 minutes before it vanished. A second light appeared, | | heading toward Cole's plane on a collision course. It made a | | 90-degree turn and disappeared. Later, ground radar told them a | | target had been following them. The two sightings lasted a total of | | 15 minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1973 - At 7:30 p.m. a 13-year-old boy and some other younger children | | watched a lighted disc-shaped UFO slowly descend over a neighborhood | | in North Royalton, Ohio. It then hovered silently overhead. They | | could see three lighted windows and behind them several occupants | | were inside and they appeared to be looking down. They were described | | as having large oblong shaped heads that seemed too big for their | | thin necks. They appeared to be leaning on something, and their long | | skinny arms were crossing each other. The craft suddenly turned off | | its lights and ascended quickly out of sight. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, citing Peter Davenport, National | | UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | 1975 - In August 1975 about 20 people in and around Gilroy, | | California saw unexplained red and white lights in the sky on | | successive nights. On August 10, a lighted object followed and badly | | frightened 12-year-old Imelda Victor and another woman as they were | | driving to the girl's house. The girl's mother also saw the object, | | which had "four large landing gear like arms coming out of it." On | | this night Mrs. Victor (a doctor by profession), woke up to find two | | beings in silvery suits standing near her in her bedroom. They had | | small slits for eyes, the nose and the mouth. She felt very calm. | | They asked her telepathically to go with them, and she found herself | | floating up into a hovering UFO. As she floated up she clearly saw | | the roof of the house and the stars. Inside, she had a sensation of | | intense beauty, with emerald colored floors. The walls were silvery, | | smooth, and with large round instruments. She was then blinded by a | | white light, and the next thing she remembers she woke up in bed. | | (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, 1975 Humanoid Contact Database, | | citing David Pratt, Visitors from the Twilight Zone; Jacques Vallee, | | Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact, p. 92). | | | | 1976 - On this night in Los Teques, Venezuela a man ran to the gate | | of the textile plant were he works, in a state of shock and terror. | | He collapsed and was sent to the local hospital. He later claimed | | that he had seen a disc-shaped object land, and had a confrontation | | with several undescribed occupants from the object. For two months | | there were nightsly UFO sightings in the area. (Source: FSR, November | | 1976). | | | | 1977 - Paciencia, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. At 2:20 a.m. Antonio | | La Rubia, age 33, a bus driver, was en route to work when he saw a | | flying saucer in a field that looked like an enormous hat. | | Frightened, he started to run when a blue light beam lit up the area, | | and he found that he could not move. At the same time, three very odd | | figures materialized nearby him. The figures were about four feet | | tall, with football-shaped heads or helmets and a tall antenna on | | top. The only features he could make out of the heads were a row of | | shiny, small, mirror-like sections around the center of the head, | | from which blue flashes were being emitted. The beings had stocky | | bodies and long, elephant trunk-like arms ending in a single digit. | | Their robot-like bodies were covered by a rough metallic surface he | | believed could have been the body surface, or skin. Their bodies were | | rounded at the bottom and surmounted a single leg, like a pedestal, | | with a rounded base.  | | | | The three creatures surrounded La Rubia, and he was captured inside | | an invisible glass or "bell jar." The robots floated above the ground | | and one pointed a syringe like device at him and he began to move | | toward the object. The next thing he knew he was inside the craft | | with no recollection of how he entered it. He was in a white | | "aluminum" corridor, with one transparent wall, through which he | | could see the field from which he had just come. Two figures went one | | way, the third another. He could see through the transparent wall | | that the object was airborne. A bright blue light came on, and he | | found himself in a large circular hall. There were a dozen similar | | entities on either side of the hall; they reminded him of children | | sitting in a schoolroom on single legged chairs. Up until now he had | | been unable to speak, but suddenly he found his voice and began | | screaming, "Who are you? What do you want from me?" The figures fell | | back at the sound and tumbled all over the floor. They lifted their | | single digits to the antennae on their heads and held them. These | | tips rotated so rapidly that only when they held them could he see | | them clearly.  | | | | He noticed a small box-like device standing on two poles that raised | | it to about the height of his chest. An antennae jutted up from each | | end of the box, and a receptacle stood atop it. The robot-like | | entities removed small devices from the belts around their waists, | | and placed them in this container, pushing a key on the box. | | When this happened, a scene would appear on the wall in moving color. | | The first showed Antonio, lying naked, on an unseen table, while he | | was being examined by a being with a small bluish light, while | | another being examined his head. Another "slide" was projected and | | showed Antonio, still naked, standing alone. Other images included a | | view of him dressed and carrying a shopping bag, with his teeth | | chattering; another showed a horse and cart on a dirt road, with a | | barefoot peasant wearing a straw hat. Another picture of him showed | | him next to an orange ball, and then next to a blue ball beside which | | stood another entity. The next slide showed an image of a big dog | | attacking one of the entities, and the being began melting from top | | to bottom, until it was nothing but a porridge like substance. Then | | in the "film" one of the entities moved toward the dog and pointed a | | syringe like device at the animal and it too began melting, after | | turning blue. A UFO "factory" was displayed in another image; then a | | train entering a tunnel; and a view of a busy Rio thoroughfare. One | | scene showed La Rubia vomiting and defecating into his clothes.  | | | | During this display, an entity approached and pointed a syringe at | | him; his arm was raised against his will and the syringe was stuck | | into his middle finger, taking a blood sample, but leaving no mark. | | The entity then pointed it at a wall and drew three red circles | | intersected with an "L". The next thing he remembered was being | | thrown overboard, where he found himself once again in the street, | | with all his belongings, as well as one of the beings. His watch had | | stopped at 2:20 a.m. The being then vanished, and the object ascended | | out of view. His head was spinning and he was burning. The | | time was 3:55 a.m. Anotonio was eventually taken to a hospital, where | | he suffered from sporadically high fevers and insatiable thirst. | | (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case # 1977-75, citing Irene Granchi for APRO). | | | | 1978 - At four o'clock in the morning a 26-year-old woman in | | Carpentersville, Illinois was awakened by a whirring sound and she | | went to her bedroom window to look outside. The noise stopped, but | | then she saw the figure of a six-foot tall man. He was dressed in a | | silvery suit. Several feet away from him she saw a small, silver, | | domed disc sitting on the edge of the grass. It was opaque and smooth | | and was the source of the whirring sound. The witness then screamed | | at her husband to wake up, and her dog started barking furiously. | | They both tried to phone the police but the phone was not working. | | When the police eventually arrived both the mysterious visitor and | | the UFO were gone. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1978, case # 228, citing International UFO Reporter, Vol. 4, | | # 2) | | 1978 - The principal witness and her family had seen a shiny | | disc-shaped flying object hovering near their farmhouse in Edmunston, | | New Brunswick, Canada late this night. The witness could only recall | | vague memories after this, but she remembers the police were called. | | Years later her mother told her that she had seen the disc land and | | saw figures come out of it. The next night she woke up thirsty and | | asked her father to bring her a glass of water. As she followed her | | dad to the kitchen she noticed an odd smell, which was at the same | | time smokey and sweet. She then noticed a small being walking behind | | her. It was about four feet tall, grayish green in color, and had no | | visible eyes, ears, mouth, or nose. It had some sort of bag, which it | | threw over the witness. Her last memory was of seeing her father | | standing still as if frozen in place. She doesn't remember anything | | else. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, | | case #3559, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle). | | | | 1985 - In Bagshot Heath, Surrey, England a fifty-foot diameter | | lenticular disc with portholes around the rim paced cars at ten | | o'clock in the evening. The main witness, named McMurray, experienced | | telepathic communication with the UFO occupants, and had a possible | | missing time experience and abduction. (Source: FSR, October 1986). | | | | Bag | | shot Heath, England Close Encounter and Possible UFO Abduction - 1985 | | | | [Sketch of Bagshot Heath, England UFO - 1985] | | | | 1996 - A young backpacker, Ricardo Machado Oliveira, was exploring a | | remote mountain cave near Cabeca da Penha Mountain, Portugal and | | while in it apparently passed out. When he came to, he found himself | | in a vast underground hangar surrounded by "three distinct species of | | aliens". Nearby were several silvery ovoid craft. The aliens told | | Ricardo that they were part of an alliance of interstellar worlds | | engaged in observing Earth. Their base under the Serra da Guardunha | | Mountains was one of four such bases. Immediately after hearing this | | Ricardo blacked out again. When he opened his eyes, he was lying on | | the ground right outside the cave. In the 14th century, at the same | | cave, a little girl from a nearby village vanished for three days. | | When she was finally found, she told the search party that she had | | been cared for by "a lady in white", who had offered her water to | | drink from a bell. Some have attributed this to a visitation by the | | Blessed Virgin Mary. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1996 Humanoid | | Sighting Reports Database, case # 2483, citing Joseph Trainor, UFO | | Roundup, Volume 1, number 32). | | 1996 - St Seurin D'Uzet, Charente Maritime department, France. At | | around 8:00 p.m. a witness was standing in his garden when he saw a | | bizarre object, which descended until it touched down of the surface | | of the Gironde River. Using a pair of binoculars, from about 200-300 | | meters away, he saw a figure suddenly appears, along with what | | resembled an inflatable orange raft at the being's feet. The being | | then began to float against the current on the orange "raft". At the | | same time there was a reported power blackout in the area. (Sources: | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 340; Phenomena, issue # 34, Sud Ouest | | newspaper). | | | | 2002 - At 2:45 a.m. Denny Unger decided to step outside on a clear | | and windless night in Leduc, Alberta, Canada. He saw three points of | | light forming a flying triangle. "My first thought was that I was | | having a dizing spell, so I refocused, and the lights were there." | | Thirty seconds later the flying triangle of lights changed direction | | from north to east, and appeared to blot out stars as it passed them | | without making any sound. The lights on each tip were solid white, | | but of low intensity. He had the distinct impression that the corner | | lights were used to camouflage the object, and it was doing its best | | not to be seen. It was completely silent. He grabbed his video camera | | inside the house and began filming the object, but soon lost sight of | | it as it flew behind a neighbor's house. A triangle formation of | | lights was all that was captured on video. (Source: George A. Filer & | | David E. Twitchell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO | | Sightings, p. 109). | | | | 2002 - At 8:00 p.m. a husband and wife and their two children were | | driving home to Mercier, Quebec from their country place near | | Huntington when the wife sighted what appeared to be really bright | | stars. After five minutes, as they got closer the two lights ahead | | changed position, and what she saw gave her shivers. It was a | | distinct flying triangular shape, with lights at all three corners, | | unlike any aircraft and larger than a Boeing 747. Her husband said he | | could "see through it". They all watched the low flying object for 10 | | minutes as it flew overhead. (Sources: George A. Filer &David E. | | Twitchell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 108; | | Geoff Dittman, 2002 Canadian UFO Survey, case 417, citing NUFORC). | | | | 2002 - At about 9:35 p.m. a witness driving a van in | | Poquoson, Virginia saw a bright light streaking across the sky. | | Stopped van, watched it travel across sky at an extremely high rate | | of speed. He contacted Langley Air Force Base who confirmed they had | | no aircraft up that night. He also contacted the local TV station but | | they had had no other calls. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. | | Twitchell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 21). | | | | 2003 - A large, white ring-shaped object with twirling lights | | descended out of sight in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada at 11:20 p.m. | | (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2002 Canadian UFO Survey, case 493, citing | | HBCCUFO). | | | | Written by Donald A.
