As it got closer it appeared to be | | an oval-shaped craft, fluorescent, about 40 cm in diameter. It came | | down toward the ground and nearly touched the grass but did not land. | | They rushed towards it to capture it, but it jumped away and turned | | into a bluish-white sphere with a dark red center. Each time they | | tried to catch it the object jumped further away. It cleared a high | | fence and slowly vanished. The Invercargill Weather Bureau had no | | explanation. (Sources: Grey River Argus, January 15, 1957; Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia, p. 254). | | | | 1965 - At 10:00 p.m. five miles northwest of Wilmot, New Hampshire | | Mr. Knee saw a glowing light that made a humming sound.

Webb case investigation files, case # 51). | | | | 1967 - At 6:30 a.m. local time a 69-year old woman in Ikuri, Finland | | suddenly awoke to see through her bedroom window that a 1.2-1.4 meter | | tall creature was in her yard, walking through the deep snow using | | stiff mechanical steps. The being wore a blue-green tunic and baglike | | trousers, and had some kind of helmet with four antennas. It also | | wore some kind of mittens on its hands. The face could not be seen. | | It walked past the swing in the yard and disappeared into thin air. | | It left round footprints on the snow. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1967, citing Mervi Virtanen). | | | | 1967 - At 3:00 a.m. EST, or about three and one-half hours later, a | | red oval-shaped UFO that looked like an upside-down saucer with a | | white glowing rim, approached and circled the witness's home in | | Boxford, Massachusetts before flying away.

The object moved up and down, slowed its pace, | | and appeared to be changing its shape. There were whirling bars of | | light on the dome that resembled windows. The UFO flew off toward the | | south. (Source: Ahmad Jamaludin, Summary of Unidentified Flying | | Objects and related events in Malaysia, p. 25). | | | | 1967 - Wildwood, New Jersey. Two nights after the Christiansen family | | heard strange metallic sounds over their house, Mr. & Mrs. | | Christiansen returned home to find their children in a very | | distraught state. They had heard the strange metallic sound again, | | and then heard heavy footsteps crunching through the thick woods | | outside. A 19-year old neighbor present at the time looked out the | | window to see a tall humanoid figure hurrying away from the house. He | | was wearing a long white cape. When the man reached a five-foot high | | fence he leaped over it effortlessly disappeared into the woods. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, case 27, | | citing John A. Keel, The Mothman Prophecies). | | | | 1969 - During the afternoon of this day Ludwig Pallmann felt a | | burning sensation from a ring given to him by someone he presumed was | | an extraterrestrial. The sensation was a signal for an upcoming | | contact, so Mr. Pallmann took his motorboat to a local sandy beach on | | Isla del Altar, El Salvador. There he noticed that several huge | | concentric circles ruffled the normally placid waters of the lake. | | Shortly after that he encountered a human looking being named Satu | | Ra, who he had met on previous occasions. Satu Ra was sitting | | motionless on a nearby rock. He wore dark green coveralls and had on | | a broad instrument belt on which was a large device. Ra was | | inexpressively sad. He told Pallmann that another extraterrestrial | | that they both knew, named Xiti, had been killed. Supposedly a | | disaster had befallen the expedition on another planet. Shortly after | | this close encounter locals reported observing a silvery disc-shaped | | UFO hovering over the capital city San Salvador.

When he got to within 200 meters of it he could | | see an illuminated rectangle in which several figures were seen | | walking in front of. A dog that had been watching the light with him | | had its hair raised and was growling softly. Alarmed, the witness | | left the scene. When he returned a few days later with a friend they | | found three apparent landing marks at the site, six feet apart. | | (Source: David F.

The creature wore a blue-green | | tunic and baglike trousers, and had some sort of helmet with four | | antennae. It also wore something like mittens on its hands. Its face | | could not be seen. The creature walked past the swing in the yard and | | disappeared into thin air. It left round footprints in the snow. | | (Source: Albert S.

It divided into three lights as it | | came closer. They walked to the nearest pier to catch a better look | | of the lights and began walking down the pier when two more lights | | became visible to their right. They could now see that the lights | | were five humanoid beings that were walking gracefully in the water. | | The seawater reached their chests. These beings were dressed in | | diving suits and their heads were covered with helmets with a mask | | and a tube going onto their backs. The beings walked out of the water | | and onto the road, leaving the area. (Source: Albert S.

The man felt compelled | | mentally to go with the woman, who took him inside the UFO. it was | | very bright inside the craft and he saw two men wearing dark | | tight-fitting overalls with hoods. He was ordered to lie down on a | | table, and at this point he lost consciousness. He later awoke | | standing at the door outside of his house with no recollection of | | what happened in between.
