One | | female occupant was captured and flown to Washington, DC. (Source: | | David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case A0122). | | | | 1947 - In 1947 during the beginning days of the great UFO wave of 1947, a | | rapidly moving, round, silvery-white object was seen at 11:30 a.m. in | | the town of Greenfield, Massachusetts. It was one of the early cases | | secretly investigated by the FBI. Later that same day, at 1 o'clock | | in the afternoon, Mr. Hammond and his son were vacationing in Radium | | Springs, New Mexico and saw a "flying pie-plate" disc while swimming. | | (Sources: Bruce S. Maccabee, UFO Related Information from the FBI | | File, APRO Bulletin, December 1977, pg. 8; Baker, Oregon Democrat | | Herald, June 27, 1947). | | | | 1949 - In Oak Ridge, Tennessee on this evening in 1949, a teacher, a | | scientist, and one other watched two delta-shaped UFOs and a disc fly | | over the US government nuclear research facility around 7 p.m.. The | | objects appeared to be metallic, and flew slowly toward the | | northwest. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 1415). | | | | 1952 - Near the Korean front in 1952, two sergeants sighted an orange disc | | four feet in diameter just above an airstrip. It dove vertically, | | emitting a red flame 2-5 feet long as it did so, and stopped | | momentarily 100 feet over the end of the runway. The object then flew | | to the west, circled back taking about 45 to 60 seconds to execute | | the 180-degree turn, flashed, the flew on to the east. A second | | bright flash was seen followed by complete darkness: the disc had | | vanished. No sound was heard coming from the object. The case was | | unexplained by Project Blue Book. (Source: J. Allen Hynek, The Hynek | | UFO Report, p. 82). | | | | 1953 - At 2:10 a.m. the pilot and radar operator of a USAF F-94 jet | | interceptor flying from Goose AFB, Labrador, Canada sighted a red | | light flying at an estimated 1,000 knots (1,100 mph). The object | | eluded the pursuing F-94 after five minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, | | Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1954 - At around 9 p.m. U.S. Marine Corps Major E. Buchser and Major | | J. V. Wilkins In Miami Beach, Florida witnessed a meteor-like object | | descend, stop, and become extremely bright. Sighting lasted 7 | | minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1954 - Also in 1954 an eighty-foot long blimp-shaped UFO drifted over | | Cleveland, Ohio at 300 feet altitude. The object veered up sharply | | and shot away after about 5-10 seconds. (Source: Project Blue Book | | files counted in official statistics). | | | | 1957 - Two patrolmen at Rye, New York watched a large object with two | | white lights and one red light plunge into Long Island Sound. | | (Source: Ivan T. Sanderson, Invisible Residents, p. 39). | | | | 1960 - A strange flying object struck Clan Lake, which is located | | some 30 miles north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada at | | around 6 p.m. About 20-25 minutes after a airplane had dropped off | | witness C. T. Wright, he heard a noise that sounded like a large | | plane in the distance. The noise got louder but he could not see | | anything in the sky. He then heard something strike the water behind | | him and saw an object with arms or spokes rotating in the water. It | | was rotating very rapidly and throwing water, but gradually it began | | to spin less and finally stopped. It was about 1700 feet away from | | him. When his partner arrived they took a canoe and went over to the | | shallow spot in the lake where the object hit the water. There was | | grass about 18 inches high were the object hit and it appeared to be | | burnt and cut up over an area of 20 feet by 60 feet. They felt around | | in the water with their paddles where the floor of the lake was very | | much disturbed and muddy, and one to three feet deeper than the | | surrounding lake proper. The object looked to be about 4-6 feet wide. | | Mr. Wright did not see any steam when the object hit the water. He | | and his partner went back to the location on two more occasions but | | could find nothing. (Source: Carl Feindt, www.waterufo.net, citing | | RCMP report courtesy of Chris Styles). | | | | 1969 - Ms. Terry Ennshyman reportedly encountered a "robot" type | | humanoid in Dunedin, New Zealand who conducted her onboard a landed | | disc-shaped UFO. He or it then had sex with her several times. The | | robot had cold extremities and a cold penis, but does not lack | | "warmth" and sweetness despite his constant guttural sounds. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1969, citing Annuaire | | CIGU 1988, quoting Dunedin Telegraph, in Denys Breysse Project | | Becassine). | | | | 1976 - Guia de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands (Spain) - Three men in a | | taxi observed a gray-colored, perfect sphere at 9:30 p.m. which | | hovered a few meters above the ground. The taxi's radio stopped | | working and the witnesses felt very cold. Inside the sphere, which | | was transparent, they saw two humanoids about three meters tall, | | wearing reddish, tight-fitting clothing. The driver switched on a | | spotlight and pointed it at the object, which rose up about 30 feet | | and emitted a bluish gas. It then grew as large as a 20-story | | building, though the two humanoids and their control panels remained | | their original size. After a few minutes, the huge object flew away, | | giving off a whistling sound. People in a nearby house reported that | | their TV had stopped working during the sighting. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case | | 412, citing FSR, Vol. 23, No. 3) | | | | 1976 - In the town of Galdar on the island of Las Palmas also in the Canary | | Islands, at 10:30 p.m., an electric-blue semi-transparent sphere with | | two tall entities inside was seen hovering for 20 minutes. The object | | then changed size enormously, growing in size to the equivalent of a | | twenty-story building. On that same night a photograph of another UFO | | was taken near Maspalomas on the neighboring island of Tenerife. A | | close encounter with a UFO emitting beams of light also occurred | | earlier in Bothwell, Tasmania around 7:30 p.m. local time. (Sources: | | FSR, November 1976, p. 33; FSR, October 1977, p. 7; ACOS Bulletin, December 1976, p.24; ABC, June 27, | | 1976). | | | | 1979 - On this afternoon offshore of Gorgona, Italy in the Ligurian | | Sea during a beautiful summer day, the yacht Rainbow II was heading | | for Corsica, after leaving Viareggio at 3:45 p.m. On board was the | | owner of the boat, who was a businessman in Milano, his wife and | | children and a crew of 11 people. At about 6:30 p.m. the beautiful | | and tranquil day was interrupted by a bewildering and disturbing | | event. About three miles ahead of the prow of the boat they saw a | | black cylindrical shape. This object was coming out from the surface | | of the sea like a tower and rose 30 meters into the air. The yacht | | approached and they noticed the dimensions and shape of the object. | | When they were within 1.5 miles from the object, it disappeared below | | the surface with a loud rumble in less than three seconds. This | | sighting was also observed from the harbormaster's office on Livorno. | | The harbor captain remained in continuous radio contact with the crew | | and in particular with its wireless operator, Mr. Guzzi. But this | | phenomenon did not end with the disappearance of the object. Although | | the compass showed the yacht as headed in the right direction, the | | yacht instead drifted about 12 miles south and ended up in Bastia. | | This change of course was unexplainable because the sea was calm, | | there were no currents, and the compass was working perfectly. | | Another strange occurrence was that the dog on board started barking | | and appeared scared and terrified.

At about the | | same time a large orange glow filled the windshield of a motorist and | | family in Forreston, South Australia pulsing on and off once a | | second. They drove under the source of the light and then it | | vanished. (Sources: Greg Long, Examining the Earthlight Theory: The | | Yakima UFO Microcosm, p. 133; UFO Research Australia Newsletter, May | | 1982, p. 8). | | | | 1984 - In 1984, an object shaped like the rounded-off "tail fin" of an | | airplane with a very short fuselage came straight down over a woman's | | car in her driveway in Adelanto, California at 11 o'clock in the | | morning. She watched it hover 125 yards away as it wobbled and made a | | "fluttering" motion. On the same night a videotape showing six lights | | in a crucifix formation was made in Montrose, New York just eight | | miles south-southeast of West Point. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, | | December 1984, p. 8; J. Allen Hynek and Philip J. Imbrogno, Night | | Seige: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings, p. 200). | | | | 2000 - At 10:30 p.m. in 2000 near Providence, Rhode Island a westbound | | commercial airliner flying at 8,000 feet altitude observed an | | egg-shaped object standing on end. The top and bottom of the object | | was spiked with three points each. Air traffic control confirmed the | | presence of a radar target one mile from the aircraft. It drifted | | toward the east until it was lost from radar. (Source: UFO Magazine, | | December 2000, p. 32). | | | | 2003 - A shiny object, not well defined, fell into the sea between | | Martinsicuro and San Benedetto del Tronto in the Adriatic Sea just | | before 9:00 p.m. Many telephone calls came into the fire department | | of Teramo, the Port Authority of San Benedetto, Italy and to the | | Maritime Offices of Giulianova, Italy. Some spoke of a possible | | meteorite, judging from the form and color of the object, which dove | | into the ocean at some distance from shore. Immediately the alarm was | | sounded and the military police from Alba got involved. A motorboat | | was sent from San Benedetto, which reached the location where the | | object plunged into the sea but they were not able to find anything. | | (Source: Marco Bianchini, USOCAT by Italian Center for UFO Studies | | (CISU), www.cisu.org; Carl Feindt, www.waterufo.net). | | | | Written by Donald A.
