The upper part of the disc was | | white with a black dome, around which was a series of portholes. Some | | of the portholes gave off a very bright, bluish-white light that | | suddenly went out as the object took off. The disc rose vertically | | while spinning and pulling the balloon with it. (Source: Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 234, case | | 288, citing Il Messagero, October 21, 1954). | | | | 1954 - At 8:45 p.m a flaming object buzzed a truck driving in St. | | Didier-en-Velay, Haute-Loire, France causing the engine and | | headlights to die.

The shiny cigar-shaped object | | plunged abruptly towards the ground at a terrific clip, leaving | | behind a red trail and disappearing behind a hedge a few hundred | | meters from the road. When the young couple arrived at the top of the | | hill, Mrs. Vasseur cried about when she was confronted by a strange | | being on the edge of the road, just inches from her handlebars. The | | figure was of human shape, but squat, and his head was capped with a | | helmet that came down to the shoulders. The strange being stood | | staring fixedly at her, and a pencil beam of orange light came from | | his eyes, which followed the woman. His wife lost consciousness and | | fell into her husband's arms, but Andre continued on with his wife. | | When he turned around to look back the being had still not moved. | | They both suffered from insomnia after the incident.

On top of the object was a very tall | | antenna. Two small robot-like beings, 1.2 meters or four feet tall, | | descended from it on a long ladder. Their eyes were dark red and | | "sharp." They spoke something that sounded like "Dbanoda skigyay o | | dbano," then went back aboard their craft and flew away. (Source: | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 234, | | case 289, citing Il Messagero, October 24, 1954). | | | | 1954 - At 11:50 p.m. a disc or orb-shaped object was seen at ground | | level in some woods in Laqueuille, Puy-de-Dome, France.

He told the department a creature got out that had silvery skin, | | crab-like claws, antennas, and looked into his living room window | | with "scary eyes." The sheriff's department quotes him as saying the | | creature got back into the saucer-shaped object and flew off. It | | notes that during the same time there were other reports. (Source: | | David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case 1973-119, citing a newspaper source). | | | | 1973 - On this evening in Draguignan, France four youths in two cars | | drove up a small mountain called Le Malmont to investigate the | | sighting of an orangish yellow UFO seen earlier in the day by a | | friend and his girlfriend. No UFO was seen, but a being was seen | | approaching the group silhouetted by a diffuse white glow. Later two | | of the witnesses saw three entities chasing their car. The entities | | were wearing one-piece suits with red lights at the waist level. They | | wore square helmets with luminous, rectangular eye slots. One of the | | beings wore something resembling a gas mask with a veil covering the | | face. Their gait was slow and mechanical. Meanwhile, the two | | witnesses in the other car twice saw two sets of "red legs" cross the | | road. A short while later their car was swung sideways across the | | road and then back again by some unseen force. Other effects included | | EM interference with the engines of both cars, a sensation of heat, | | an odor like burnt insulating tape, and one of the cars was shaken | | while parked. The beings made modulated whistling sounds. A powerful | | white light beam was also seen. No physical traces were found at any | | of the sites. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-49 (A1254); David F. Webb, | | 1973: The Year of the Humanoids, case 73-30; Jean Chasseigne, FSR, | | July 1974, p. 32). | | | | 1973 - In Goshen, Ohio a farmer was walking his dogs in a field in | | the early evening when they began to bark. Further ahead he saw a | | landed, round UFO, 40-45 feet in diameter, with white and blue lights | | around it. From the object's illumination he could see a ladder and | | two beings standing beside it. They were human like, about six feet | | tall. When they saw the farmer and his dogs they got into the UFO, | | which rose slowly with a low humming noise and then took off at high | | speed. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1973-50; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of the | | Humanoids). | | | | 1973 - A woman was alone traveling by car in Iowa when she noticed a | | bright light over the next approaching hill. She dimmed her lights | | and when she crested the hill she noticed a landed disc-shaped object | | in a nearby cornfield. She slowed her vehicle and saw that the UFO | | had a slight dome on top and was glowing with a blue light. She | | called her husband on her CB radio and described the object but soon | | static made it impossible to communicate by radio. She stopped the | | vehicle and the next thing she remembered was watching the object | | take off at high speed. Later under hypnosis the witness remembered | | seeing five figures standing around her car looking at her. They were | | about five feet tall with pasty white faces and huge elongated eyes. | | They had two holes for a nose and slit like mouths. Moments later she | | found herself inside the object where she saw walls, lots of | | machinery, and also a very bright light. She next found herself in a | | room with several monitor-like screens and two humanoids standing | | near her. These creatures seemed to have claw-like hands. One of the | | beings was described as more human looking, a female with long hair, | | a skirt, and a band around her head. The male beings wore one-piece | | silver metallic jump suits, with gloves, boots, and belts across the | | chest area. She remembers lying on a table and being forced to remove | | her clothing. After a physical examination she is led outside by two | | of the beings and floated to her vehicle. (Sources: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1973, case # 1413; | | Kevin D. Randle, The October Scenario). | | | | 1973 - A woman was driving on Interstate 75 near Ashburn, Georgia | | when her engine, power brakes and steering quit. No UFO was seen, but | | a small, metallic man appeared after she had pulled her car to the | | side of the road. The being had a bubble-dome head or helment with | | rectangular eye openings. The head moved like a robot's. From the | | elbows down the arms were narrow and wrinkled, like a chicken's legs. | | It moved around the car, then was gone. Afterwards she found the | | engine billowing smoke and the hood intensely hot. (Source: David F. | | Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1973-47; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of the Humanoids). | | | | 1973 - On this night a farm couple in Copeland, North Carolina | | encountered a blue, oval-shaped UFO hovering near their mobile home. | | They then saw a three-foot tall humanoid in a gold metallic coverall | | standing directly below the object. Their dog fled the area, and | | didn't return until the next day. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-48; David | | F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). | | | | 1997 - The witness heard a strange noise in her kitchen in Crofton, | | Maryland at 2:00 a.m. Thinking it was her cat she went to | | investigate. At the entrance to her kitchen she encountered several | | humanoids, which she described as about five feet tall, with pale | | grayish skin and large black eyes. The humanoids seemed to be | | inspecting a silverware tray, sliding it back and forth. Suddenly one | | of the humanoids turned and saw the witness, who promptly fainted. | | After a few moments she came to lying on the floor of the kitchen. | | She looked up and saw three humanoids huddled together. Feeling a | | surge of terror she fainted again, but not before seeing a silvery | | flashing sphere hovering over her. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1997, case # 3193, citing Peter Davenport, | | National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | 1998 - Several men were out elk hunting in an isolated area near | | Vernal, Utah when they saw what appeared to be a plane crashing. They | | left their truck and proceeded over a nearby ridge to investigate. As | | they got closer to the area they saw two more craft hovering over the | | area. On the ground they saw what appeared to be some "people" | | gathered around. They reported their sighting to the National UFO | | Reporting Center. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1998, case #3192, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center, Seattle). | | | | 1998 - A witness at 9:30 p.m. in Defiance, Ohio was just pulling out | | of a driveway when he noticed a triangular craft with a light at each | | corner, two white and one blue. He pulled over to get a better look, | | and watched as it flew silently close to the ground and behind some | | trees. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle, October 1998 webpage). | | | | 2000 - At ten o'clock in the evening a white object hovered low over | | a school in Chiu-Chiu, Atacama, Chile. Fresia Berlina Vega, a young | | woman, was playing with 10-year-old Valentina, daughter of a local | | schoolteacher, on the school grounds when they both saw a bright | | star-like light suddenly appear in the sky. The light quickly | | descended towards the witnesses, emitting bright blue, red and | | yellow flashes of light. They could see a huge round object, the size | | of a soccer field, that hovered just outside the school perimeter at | | 40 feet above the ground. Next, a noise like a thunder clap was | | heard, and a panel opened on the object and a bright beam of light | | shone down from the object illuminating both of them. Fresia felt a | | cold wave envelope her body. The beam of light then retreated back | | into the object and another thunderclap was heard. The | | object remained above the witnesses for a few more moments in which | | Fresia again felt a definite change of temperature, and she felt her | | head was swelling up. Momentarily, she was overcome with a state of | | complete relaxation, and she felt a prickling sensation invade her | | entire body. Meanwhile, Valentina felt the same presence and | | complained of a headache and discomfort in her nose; she was later to | | suffer from insomnia. They may have experienced missing time and had | | a brief abduction experience at this time, because they were both | | found dazed and shivering. As the object moved away towards a nearby | | cemetery both witnesses felt a slight tremor in the earth. Fresia | | reported some beneficial aftereffects from the encounter, because a | | persistent back pain went away, but she also experienced | | irregularities with her menstrual cycle. She felt also more relaxed | | and at ease. She would have peculiar "dreams" in which several short | | dark human-like figures with large heads would approach her and ask | | her how she was feeling. They reassured her that things were going to | | improve in her life. She further described the beings as about 1.50 | | meters in height, wearing thick soled boots. She is convinced that | | she will see them again some day. (Sources: UFO Magazine (USA), | | February 2001, p. 29; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 2000, case # 3463, citing Ramon Navia Osorio). | | | | 2005 - At 8:45 p.m. a white sphere flew over the witness in Terrace, | | British Columbia, then stopped, hovered, and finally flew away again. | | (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2005 Canadian UFO Survey, case 102, citing | | HBCCUFO). | | | | 2005 - At 10:00 p.m. in Whitesburg, Kentucky a black triangle with | | red lights on the corners and two brighter smaller "escorts" flew | | silently overhead in the night sky.
