Navy ship Supply. The largest one was | | egg or pear shaped, and six times the apparent size of the sun. The | | objects flew in an eschelon formation, flying very fast below the | | clouds. They gained altitude, turned, and travelled off to the | | west-northwest while climbing above broken clouds. There were at | | least three sailors as witnesses, including the main witness named | | Schofield. The duration of the event was more than two minutes. | | (Sources: New York Herald, March 9, 1904; Richard H.

Othello was returning to port of | | was 120 miles from the coast of Humberside, England in the North Sea | | when an airborne object with a powerful searchlight dipped down from | | the night sky and circled the trawler twice at the height of the | | ship's masthead, with the searchlight focused on the ship. The UFO | | made a whirring sound as it flew. The main witness was named Parker. | | (Sources: Hull Daily Mail, March 4, 1913; Richard H. Hall, From | | Airships to Arnold: A Preliminary Catalogue of UFO Reports in the | | Early 20th Century (1900-1946), p. 9). | | | | 1952 - An oil company employee was driving on the highway in Lomo de | | Ballena, Peru at 4:30 p.m. when he allegedly encountered a 10 meter | | in diameter disc hovering 500 meters away. Three uniped beings with | | rough, towel-like skin that looked something like "mummies" glided | | from the hovering object toward him. They communicated a message to | | him, warning of the dangers of atomic energy. He was also given a | | short tour flight on the craft. (Source: Richard Greenwell, FSR, | | November-December 1970, p. 12). | | | | 1953 - Philippe Daurces and four other witnesses in Beirut, Lebanon | | sighted a procession of 12 disc-shaped objects with distinct contours | | at 6:30 p.m. Each craft had a bluish leading edge and left a trail of | | smoke. They flew across the sky one after the other, crossing the sky | | on parallel courses within a few minutes. When viewed through | | binoculars, each had a crimson red light. They flew at a constant | | speed, and it took them three minutes to fly from zenith to the | | horizon. They made no sound.

He | | had reached Cedar City, Utah at about 1 p.m. when he observed a | | glowing object cross the sky. Irwin decided it could have been an | | airliner on fire attempting a crash landing, so he went to | | investigate. Using shoe polish, he wrote "Stop" on the side of his | | car, and left a note on the steering wheel that read: "Have gone to | | investigate possible plane crash. Please call law enforcement | | officers." A short time later a fish and game inspector did stop and | | took the note to the Cedar County sheriff, Otto Pfief, who returned | | to the site with a group of volunteers. No trace of an airplane crash | | was found, but Irwin was soon found unconscious and taken to a | | hospital. When Irwin finally woke up form a deep sleep, he was | | puzzled by the absence of his jacket. He was flown back to Fort Bliss | | and placed under observation for four days, after which he returned | | to duty. | | | | Irwin behaved strangely: he was plagued by fainting, didn't seem to | | be aware of the correct date, and kept asking, "were there any | | survivors?" He was placed in a hospital for psychiatric examination. | | On April 18th, the day after being discharged, Irwin felt a powerful | | urge to return to the site of his strange encounter. Once there he | | walked straight to a bush and found his missing jacket. There was a | | pencil in a buttonhole with a piece of paper wound tightly around it. | | Irwin curiously took the paper and burned it. He then went to sheriff | | Pfief, who provided him with the details of the initial incident. | | Shortly afterwards Irwin's case came to the attention of the | | inspector general, who ordered a new investigation. On July 10, Irwin | | re-entered the hospital. On August 1, he failed to report for duty. | | One month later, he was listed as A.W.O.L. and was not seen again. | | (Sources: Albert S.

It gave off | | several brilliant flashes before vanishing. At 11:40 p.m. a rotorless | | silent helicopter-shaped object directed a beam of light at some | | linemen workers in San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina. Red lights were | | seen exiting from the object.

They were dressed in dark | | coveralls with square helmets, and sleeve-length gauntlets, but it | | was too dark to see their features through their helmet visors. They | | wore sleeve-length gauntlets, and one being gestured to the other, | | who brought out from a bag on his back a small piece of substance | | resembling chocolate; this he presented to the witness, urging him by | | gestures to eat it. The witness did so, but to his surprise it had no | | noticeable taste. They then moved off and let him pass. About 100 | | feet to the right side of the road he had saw a large, dark circular | | mass about six feet high, sitting directly on the ground. , where | | traces of crushed grass were later found.

A | | loud voice emanated from a box-like device in the corner of the room | | which told him to remain calm. A door then appeared in the wall | | across from him, then the door opened and a large dark, oval-shaped | | "apparatus" emerged. The apparatus came towards him and a yellow | | light came down from the top of it, illuminating him. From out of the | | oval-shaped machine emerged a figure that was an exact replica of the | | witness. This double spoke to the witness and told him that he did | | not intend to harm him or anybody else. This being then disappeared | | through one of the walls. A large TV like screen then appeared. The | | witness could see the actions of his double through this screen and | | was directed to assist him with his voice. He was finally released | | and the aliens apparently recalled his double. The aliens told the | | witness that they were here to help humanity.

She went over to look and | | there she saw a little dwarfish woman, about two foot tall with long | | red hair, who was trying to pick up a smooth stone that was wedged in | | the soil. The woman was wearing a purple outfit and had what appeared | | to be two raven feathers in her hair. When the witness got closer she | | could see that the dwarf was struggling with the stone. The little | | woman suddenly noticed the witness and vanished in plain sight. | | (Source: Albert S.
