(Sources: Project Blue | | Book files counted in official statistics, case # 896; Don Berliner, | | Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1953 - In Malang, Indonesia on the island of Java a metallic | | disc-shaped object was seen twice, at high and low altitudes. It rose | | up very fast, and shot off quickly to the north. (Source: Loren E. | | Gross, UFOs: A History. 1953: January-February, p. 92). | | | | 1965 - At least 50 members of the Toba Indian tribe in Chalac, | | Formosa Province, Argentina watched as a group of UFOs were seen | | flying overhead at around 9 p.m. One of the craft, bathed constantly | | in light beams emanating from small wing-like projections, landed in | | a pasture, and three tall beings enveloped in luminous halos emerged, | | causing the local population to go down on their knees. The beings | | approached slowly, with gestures that dissuaded one of the Indians | | from coming any closer to the UFO. A voice was then heard, telling | | the witnesses to remain calm for there was nothing to fear, and that | | the space people would return to bring peace on earth. The humanoids | | then returned to their craft, which then took off with a blinding | | luminosity. Photographs were said to have been taken by local police | | officers. (Sources: Donald B.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue | | of Humanoid Reports, case 1965-13; Jacques Vallee, Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 637). | | | | 1967 - Mrs. Wolf, a nurse, was driving down a road in Toledo, Ohio at | | 7:40 p.m. EST when she had a close encounter with an orange-yellowish | | flattened sphere. It hovered over the road at treetop height, | | pulsating, and then emitted a wide beam of light downward. It started | | pacing her car. Her speedometer was affected and her wristwatch | | stopped. She also reported that as a result of the close encounter | | her skin condition cleared up. (Sources: NICAP case files, letter | | dated March 8, 1967; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A | | Thirty Year Report, pp. 199, 267 & 328-329). | | | | 1967 - Two hours after the Toledo close encounter, another close | | encounter involving electromagnetic effects and physical traces | | occurred in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. At 8:40 p.m. CST dogs began yelping | | when a UFO flew by fast and low. The object's light went out, and the | | object dropped to the ground. A high-pitched whine with an undertone | | of humming occurred later for 30 seconds. A 15 foot in diameter ice | | area was found at the landing site, which caused a compass to spin. | | (Source: NICAP case files, report by W. Martiny). | | | | 1968 - On this night at 12:12 a.m. Ms. Cecilia Brewer and five | | companions were driving home from work between Barkhamsted and | | Winsted, Connecticut and heading west when their car's engine started | | to miss and they encountered a silvery domed disc-shaped UFO on the | | left side of the highway in a forest clearing. The object was at a | | distance of about 150 feet, and had a cone of white light coming from | | the bottom of the object. It also had a green lit, rectangular window | | in the dome. They stopped to watch the UFO before it flew away, the | | total duration of their close encounter being around 15 minutes. | | (Source: Donald A. Johnson, Flying Saucer Observer, citing Lawrence | | Fawcett, APRO field investigator). | | | | Winsted, Connecticut Close Encounter - 1968 | | | | [Image] | | | | 1968 - At eleven o'clock that night Miss Amato, a 12-year-old girl, | | heard a "bloop-bloop" noise outside her bedroom window and looked out | | her window at the abandoned Winsted, Connecticut railroad station | | behind her family's house. She saw a white egg-shaped UFO, a little | | larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground beside the | | building and railroad tracks. A short beam of light came out of the | | craft, pointed downward at an angle like a ramp, and 15-20 little men | | about three feet tall walked down the light beam in single file and | | jumped from the end of the beam to the ground. They were dressed in | | dull silver coveralls and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They proceeded | | to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with a hand | | over hand movement as if they were swimming or had suction cups on | | their hands. When they reached the roof, they spread out in different | | directions and appeared to be interested in looking down inside the | | building through a skylight. The girl became frightened at this point | | and went to bed, covering her head with the bedcovers. The building | | was being used as a storage site for ammonium nitrate fertilizer. | | (Source: Donald A. Johnson, Flying Saucer Observer, May 1968, citing | | Larry Fawcett, APRO field investigator; David F. Webb and Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-17; Albert | | S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, case 38, citing Larry | | Fawcett). | | | | 1968 - At dusk a woman living in a cabin near the coast on Keats | | Island, British Columbia saw a single object maneuvering 60 | | feet above the ocean. It had frosted yellow side lights with a bright | | red light in the middle, and it slid back and forth across sky as if | | on rail. Then a "big boat" lit up on the water's surface, and shot | | six amber 4-foot-wide balls of light up into the sky. (Source: John | | Magor, Our UFO Visitors, p. 45). | | | | 1979 - In Littleborough, Greater Manchester, England a rotating | | object landed in a quarry at two o'clock in the morning. Police and | | two others went to investigate, but found nothing. Later that evening | | in Oakenholt, Clywd, Wales a woman out walking her dog at 6:15 p.m. | | was surprised when the animal suddenly laid down on the ground and | | began whining for no apparent reason. Glancing ahead of her, she saw | | a bright orange hovering spinning sphere. She then looked to her side | | and saw nearby, standing in the shadows among some bushes, two | | silvery-garbed humanoid figures who appeared to be smiling. Her dog | | temporarily distracted her, and when she looked back again the | | figures were gone. The bright orange sphere then vanished, and the | | dog ran home barking. (For a nearly identical incident, but one | | involving missing time, see the account on February 18, 1990 in | | Germany).

Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1979, case # | | 861, citing Jenny Randles & Paul Whetnall, FSR, Volume 25, No. 4). | | | | 1995 - A young man driving in Council Bluffs, Iowa at 7 p.m. saw a | | huge, gray triangle-shaped object with three solid lights. He pulled | | off the highway to watch the craft with "archways" silently fly over. | | (Sources: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, | | February 1995 webpage archive; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case | | 17130, citing NUFORC). | | | | 1995 - At 8:00 p.m. in Hanret, Hainaut Province, Belgium Veronique | | V., who had been involved in previous UFO close encounters, had gone | | outdoors with her car mechanic to fetch her car which had broken | | down. Once outside both saw an unusual light in the sky. The mechanic | | thought it was a plane left to tow the car, while Veronique stayed | | outside and watched the light descend towards her house. She begins | | to panic and rushes inside her house, switching off the lights and | | turning on the television. At the same time her dogs began howling in | | the backyard, and her small Yorkshire terrier began growling as if | | there was a stranger in the house. Veronique went upstairs and looked | | out a window. She then noticed that her room appeared "to be without | | walls" and she saw a hovering triangular UFO direct a beam of white | | light towards her. The white beam of light lasts for about 10 | | seconds. On the triangle's front apex she could see different colored | | lights. The object then began circling the house and Veronique felt a | | strange attraction to the object, but she fought against it. Suddenly | | the UFO vanished and everything returned to normal.

Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1995, citing Gerard Grede & | | Daniel Bukens, SOBEPS). | | | | 1999 - In Bangues, Minas Gerais state, Brazil Jose Joaquim Dos Santos | | was parked on the side of the road resting in his car at midnight | | when he looked up and saw a short figure with a very large head | | looking inside his car through a rear passenger window. Frightened, | | he got out of the car and saw the short figure disappear into the | | distance up the roadway. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1999, citing Antonio Faleiro, Brazil). | | | | 2005 - A man and his son spotted a huge triangular shaped UFO flying | | over Southfield, Michigan at 6:30 p.m. It flew at a high rate of | | speed, then suddenly stopped and made a quick turn, and finally shot | | off into the atmosphere.
