It was surrounded by | | purple lights, and made a whirring noise. Two beings with squarish | | shaped feet and wearing diver suits were seen walking on the surface | | of the water. The craft rose off the surface of the sea and landed in | | a field on a nearby island, crushing two cows when it came down. | | (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid | | Reports, case A0129, citing Northern Network News, December 1976). | | | | 1960 - A disc-shaped flying object and three nocturnal lights | | exchanged green beams of light in the sky over Cottonwood, Minnesota | | at 11:45 p.m. The nocturnal lights then entered the saucer-shaped | | craft through a hatch. The disc flew off toward the north. Pendulum | | motion was also reported. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, November 1962, p. | | 2; Thomas M. Olsen, The Reference for Outstanding UFO Reports, p. | | 3-071). | | | | 1963 - A fisherman in Libreville, Gabon witnessed the landing of a | | unusual craft on this night, from which a terrifying creature | | emerged. It was humanoid in shape, spoke sounds he could not | | understand, left footprints in the sand, and then went back to the | | machine and flew off. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, p. 296). | | | | 1966 - Three objects rose from a field with a screaming hi-pitched | | noise, maneuvered, then paced a car at three a.m. near a farm two | | miles south of Monroe, Oregon.

His sighting precipitated a | | number of vivid dreams that night, in which he believes he had been | | "contacted" by the beings aboard the UFO. He also believes that he | | may have experienced an actual abduction, the memory of which was | | erased from his mind. There were no details or other evidence of an | | abduction that the witness was able to provide.

Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary | | Visitors, p. 357). | | | | Braintree, Massachusetts - 1970 | | | | [] | | | | 1971 - In Tooligie Hill, South Australia a red ball of light was | | sighted by neighbors on this night. The next day Mr. Habner found a | | 2.2 meter diameter ring, 45 cm wide and 10 cm deep in his wheat | | field. The wheat was swirled in a counter-clockwise direction around | | the ground mark. Soil samples revealed nothing abnormal.

(Source: | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, August 1978). | | | | 1978 - At 4:30 a.m. a three-meter long, oddly shaped UFO was seen at | | a low altitude over Cicagna, Liguria, Italy. It had what looked like | | iron claws on one end of the object. The UFO fired a beam of light, | | then shot off toward the south. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue | | 216). | | | | 1978 - A fleet of six UFOs was seen by Peruvian fishermen over the | | Caynarachi River in the San Martin department, Peru on this night. | | They first noticed a brightly illuminated rhomboid object that passed | | over from south to north. It was followed by five more objects in | | formation. The UFOs had yellow, amber, and violet lights. The men | | fled in fright. (Source: Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, April | | 1979, p. 13, citing Cronica, December 26, 1978). | | | | 1978 - Two huge UFOs came screaming over Lake Arrowhead in San | | Bernardino county, California at 7:18 p.m. They made a sound similar | | to ambulances. There were two sets of independent witnesses to the | | fly-by, for a total of five witnesses.

It then went down to the lake | | level and turned off all illuminated like a light turned off with a | | switch. At least 16 holes were discovered in the ice on the lake the | | next day. The holes were between one and five inches in diameter and | | were within 200 feet of where the first witness had been standing. | | (Source: William McNeff, MUFON Field Investigations Database, case | | 910902). | | | | 1992 - On this night at 9:00 p.m. a dark disc-shaped object with | | pairs of green and orange lights located at four places around the | | underside of the object was seen over a lake in Springfield, Missouri | | by a boy and a girl, age 10. The UFO left behind a white smoke trail | | when it moved away (Source: Lisa Dusenberry, MUFON Field | | Investigations Database, case 930606J). | | | | 1999 - A dark delta-shaped or V-shaped object was sighted over a rest | | stop on Interstate 44 in Mount Vernon, Missouri on this evening.
