Randle, Invasion Washington: UFOs | | over the Capitol, p. 264; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO | | Unknowns). | | | | 1954 - Sometime after one o'clock in the morning and before 2:30 a.m. | | Mr. L. T. Prewitt, an employee of the Red River Arsenal, sighted a | | golden yellow light fly over his house in Texarkana, Texas for two | | minutes, making a "shhhh" or buzzing sound. (Source: Project Blue | | Book files counted in official statistics, case #3037; Don Berliner, | | Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1964 - In 1964 Mrs. Helen Reed of Lawrenceville, Illinois observed a | | 15-foot-wide, domed, spinning object around 10:30 p.m. It was moving | | five meters above the ground and less than 20 meters away. It made | | sharp, 90 degree turns, and had colored lights emanating from the | | dome (blue turning to red), and bands of yellow light. The object | | went out of sight behind some trees to the north. (Sources: NICAP UFO | | Investigator, August 1964, p. 8; Gordon I. R. Lore, Jr., UFOs: A New | | Look, p. 14; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, p. 300 (case 611)). | | | | 1964 - Also on the same night five witnesses, including Sheriff L. C. | | Brinkerhoff of the Big Horn County, Wyoming sheriff's department had | | a close encounter with a blue-green UFO that hovered over the | | badlands near Burlington, Wyoming. It reacted to the sheriff's | | spotlight by beaming a ray of light into the patrol car. (Sources: | | NICAP UFO Investigator, August 1964, p. 6; George D. Fawcett, Flying | | Saucers, October 1966, p. 30; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, | | Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, p. 170). | | | | 1966 - Two ice cream truck drivers, Armstrong and Polomka, watched a | | domed craft maneuvering in the sky for 20 minutes between Kingston | | and Naracoorte, South Australia. A white light made up the body of | | the craft, while a red light looked like a dome on top; the white | | light was interlaced with smaller colored lights. It moved at | | fantastic speeds. (Sources: Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern | | Hemisphere, p. 176; Keith Basterfield, Keith Basterfield | | investigation files, case S017). | | | | 1966 - Max Baker, age 43, was driving west on Sandusky Road between | | Kansas, Ohio and Toledo at 6:45 a.m. when a bright silver, metallic | | cigar-shaped object appeared out of nowhere and buzzed his car. The | | UFO was completely silent, and passed within 30 meters of his car, | | flying low to the northeast. The close encounter lasted one minute. | | His report to the Air Force remains a Project Blue Book unexplained | | case. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics, case # 10629; J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, p. 15; | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 331; | | Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; UNICAT, case # 185). | | | | 1966 - Also on that same evening, three young Canadians were driving | | south of Castlegar Airport in British Columbia when they were chased | | by an oval shaped object, about six feet in diameter. It gave off a | | bluish glow and stayed parallel with the car as they drove along the | | highway at about 45 m.p.h. It had beams of light pointing upward and | | downward coming from it, as it flew about 10 feet above the power | | lines. It made no noise. (Source: Charles Bowen, World Round-up, FSR, | | November 1966, p. 33). | | | | 1968 - Between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. a university professor named | | Richalda and a woman accompanying him witnessed a 0.5 meter, | | hat-shaped UFO that flew to the southwest while driving near a | | hydro-electric dam in Capataneni, Bacau, Romania. The sighting lasted | | two minutes. (Source: Ion Hobana & Julien Weverbergh, UFOs from | | Behind the Iron Curtain, p. 172). | | | | 1974 - At Lake George near Goulbourne, New South Wales, Australia a | | Mr. L, an elderly farmer, noticed an elongated luminous object in the | | sky at around 11 p.m. on the night of June 7-8, 1974. It ejected a | | "falling star" that approached to within two miles of him, hovering | | about a half a mile up in the sky. It appeared as a red luminous | | sphere. Later that night this sphere appeared to land behind some | | trees several miles away. At around three o'clock in the morning he | | went out with his dog to investigate, and walked toward the landing | | site. He heard a number of other dogs barking, and a voice that | | yelled, "shut up!", which caused him to stop. He sat down where he | | was and waited until around 6:00 a.m., and then went on to the site | | and found "an area of burnt vegetation for a distance of 200 yards." | | When the witness was subsequently hospitalized and diagnozed with | | paranoid schizophrenia, he was able to recall futher details. He | | remembered that he had approached to withing 300 yards of the landed | | object, and observed it through binoculars. Three or four men over | | eight feet tall came from behind the landed craft and "floated" to | | the ground. They were wearing glowing silver colored suits that | | covered their bodies up to their necks. He could discern no facial | | features on the beings. Later, a chute emerged from the object, and | | down it came a number of cylindrical metal "packing cases." After | | that, about 40 head of black cattle came down the chute, and were | | driven away by normal looking men, accompanied by dogs. (Source: | | David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case # 1974-27 (A1331), citing Bill Chalker & Keith Basterfield). | | | | 1986 - A 40-foot long, cigar-shaped UFO was seen in a red mist in | | Metcalf, Illinois at 8:30 p.m. It was seen for 30 seconds, less than | | half a mile away, and was completely silent. (Source: Bob Gribble, | | UFO Reporting Center, case # 1119). | | | | 1990 - In 1990, the Bridges family of Navarre Beach, Florida observed a | | cluster of 20-30 lights at 11:30 p.m. that appeared to be low over | | the Gulf of Mexico about ten miles away from their home. These lights | | would join together in a circular orbit and then shoot out in many | | directions. Some of the paths were jagged with sharp turns and abrupt | | stops, while others were smooth stops. The UFOs would then regroup | | and repeat the process randomly. Another group of about 20 people, | | who were visiting in rental units, also saw the display. The entire | | event lasted about 30 minutes. (Source: Rex Salisberry, Gulf Breeze | | Sentinel, Gulf Breeze, FL, June 14, 1990). | | | | 1991 - Civil radar tracked UFOs over Concepcion, Paraguay. Pilots | | encountered and radar tracked a reddish oval-shaped object that paced | | a small aircraft and then hovered above the airport; electro-magnetic | | effects were reported on the plane. At around 6:00 p.m. an intense | | bluish-white oval-shaped object buzzed a Japanese airliner, then | | paced a Cessna for 25 minutes. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, The UFO | | Evidence, Volume II. A Thirty Year Report, pp. 127, 245, 384; | | Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 46, citing MUFON UFO | | Journal, February 1994). | | | | 1994 - In a farming area outside of Padova (Padua), Italy at around | | midnight a robot-like entity with lights approached the witness. It | | used telepathy to communicate with the witness, warning him that it | | meant no harm and there were 14 others just like him, hiding in the | | nearby woods. It then lifted off vertically, and flew away. (Source: | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue #329; Albert S. Rosales, 1994 Humanoid | | Sighting Reports, case # 2366). | | | | 1998 - During the predawn hours of this morning in Puerto Rico the | | witness, Belen, found herself seated on a stainless steel table that | | floated in mid-air. To her left stood two short gray beings wearing | | white coveralls. They just stood there looking at her, seemingly | | waiting for something. At her feet stood a tall, human like figure, | | with black hair, large eyes, fine chiseled facial features and very | | thick eyebrows. She felt relaxed and unafraid. She asked the human | | figure what were they doing, and his answer was, "We are preparing | | you." She asked him not to leave any marks on her body this time, but | | she was told that it was necessary, and that next time no scars or | | marks will be left behind. She then lay back on the table and saw two | | "tubes" descend from the ceiling. The tubes were also metallic and | | emitted beams of light towards her stomach area. At this point she | | lost consciousness. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1998, citing Lucy Guzman). | | | | 2002 - Dr. Joyce Pugh, a MUFON consultant, reported that on Saturday, | | June 8, 2002 at about 10:30 p.m. she and her husband were driving on | | Highway 319 toward Ocilla, Georgia when they sighted unusual lights | | low in the overcast sky above the trees off to the left near Tifton, | | Georgia. They were shaped like an elongated triangle with a white | | light in each corner, and a red light in the bottom center. The | | lights appeared to be on one object, which slowly moved across the | | road. They turned off the highway to pursue it. They later sighted | | two more craft with indistinct lights. They could hear the sound of | | roaring jet engines apparently coming from the lights/craft, as they | | seemed to fly along slowly. They went back to the area where | | they observed the first object and once again observed hovering | | lights. The lights crossed the road again and then disappeared as Dr. | | Pugh continued to negotiate traffic. (Source: George A. Filer & David | | E.
