Outside of the continental United States there | | were sightings in Hawaii, Cuba, and Germany. Four occurred at | | military air bases and two more involved aircraft encounters with | | UFOs. | | | | 1952 - At 10:15 p.m. a saucer-shaped object, light metallic in color, | | flew over Heidelberg, Germany. It gave off shafts of white light, | | flew slowly, made a 90-degree turn, and climbed away fast. It was in | | sight for 4.5 minutes. A Project Blue Book "unknown." (Sources: | | Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case 1700; | | Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1952: July 21st-July 31st, p. 24; | | Kevin D. Randle, Invasion Washington: UFOs over the Capitol, p. 274). | | | | 1952 - At around 11 p.m. over Washington, D.C. eight to twelve | | nocturnal lights flew in various formations making sharp maneuvers, | | darkening and then becoming brighter again. (Sources: Richard F. | | Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 65; Richard F | | Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. 99). | | | | 1956 - A green flash was seen in the sky over Brentwood, California | | and something crashed in an orchard there. When the unknown object | | passed over witnesses reported TV interference. The object gave off | | green sparks. Traces found in the orchard reportedly included a light | | metal and cardboard impregnated with "unknown substances." (Sources: | | Alexander Mebane, Civilian Saucer Intelligence-New York Newsletter, | | September 1956, p. 6; Leonard H. Stringfield, CRIFO News, September | | 1956, p. 2). | | | | 1962 - A strange looking submarine-like object was seen at dawn off | | the coast of Avalon, California. It made no noise and left no wake as | | it passed by a boat on the surface, and was described as having a | | very strange structure. Five occupants were seen on board. (Source: | | APRO Bulletin, May 1963, p. 2, citing Los Angeles Times, October 25, | | 1962). | | | | 1964 - At 10:30 p.m. a former Navy pilot named Lafferty and another | | man, both regarded as trustworthy, were at work in a field near Lake | | Chelan, Washington when they saw an intense light, cone-shaped, | | emitted from the ground. A similar light was observed in the sky when | | the one on the ground was turned off, then the reverse took place: | | the cone-shaped light in the sky emitted a burst which was responded | | to by one from the ground. A round, aluminium-looking object, about | | 10 meters in diameter, with one red and one white light, then | | appeared and descended to ground level with a strong whistling sound | | similar to a small jet. | | | | High-pitched piercing voices, similar to those of children screaming | | while playing, were heard. After 40 minutes the craft took off. | | Before it did so, a jet aircraft flying at low altitude circled its | | position. On July 31st and August 1st, the densely wooded area where | | the light was seen was explored from a helicopter and on foot by | | Sheriff Nickell and a U. S. Air Force officer, but nothing was found. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | case 619, citing U.S. Air Force ATIC). | | 1966 - A photographer, Mr. Lacoste, and his wife, saw a red lighted | | object cross the sky in Montsoreau, France and appear to touch the | | ground. It then rose, hovered, and disappeared. The next day a wheat | | field was found flattened over a three meter wide area and covered | | with an oily substance. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: | | A Century of Landings, case 783). | | | | 1968 - At 9:00 p.m. five young people, including Paul Sauve, age 20, | | and his sisters, Nicole, and Joanne, and Regent Leger and his brother | | Dennis Leger, saw two circular objects with brilliant red halos over | | St.-Stanislas-de-Kostka, Quebec, Canada. One of the objects was seen | | to land about 1,000 feet away. When they went out with a flashlight | | to investigate they encountered a being about four feet tall, 50 feet | | away from them, that terrified them so much that they ran back to the | | house. It had a big head 'imbedded in the shoulders" without a neck, | | large round eyes, a flat nose, and a dark brown skin that was | | "wrinkled, scabby, and with bumps." When caught in the flashlight | | beam, it lifted a hand, which was very large, black, and rough, "like | | the skin of a toad." It opened and closed its mouth, then it backed | | off toward the barn. After they were back in the house, it came up to | | a window and knocked on the pane, making a mooing sound "like a cow." | | Later they saw the object take off vertically. A 15-foot circle of | | crushed grain was found at the landing site. (Sources: David F. Webb | | & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-51, | | citing Wido Hoville; Gordon Creighton, FSR, May-June 1969, p. 20). | | | | 1968 - Near midnight a family of four in Upton, Quebec, Canada was | | awakened by their dog's barking. The father went out to investigate | | and encountered a sparkling, rotating cloud-like object in the yard | | that flew over him and went toward a nearby field. The object was | | dark on the bottom and luminous on top. He then saw cows in the field | | being chased by four or five, three-foot tall entities with elongated | | heads. When the object flew over, the humanoids disappeared. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, case # 23, citing | | John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants and Critters). | | | | 1971 - On this night in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada two amateur | | astronomers reported that a triangle shaped UFO with multicolored | | lights flew by fast at a high altitude. It then made a 180 degree | | turn. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, August 1971, p. 3). | | | | 1975 - At six o'clock in the morning a radar installation in the | | mountains of Sierra Aitana, Spain had a close encounter with a dark | | gray football-shaped UFO. The object was described as the size of a | | Sabre jet (about 12 meters in length) with well defined edges. It was | | metallic and appeared to have what looked like rivets. It was first | | seen at a distance of 150 meters, and moved horizontally toward the | | witnesses. It made a noise like an electric motor. (Source: UNICAT | | database, case 588, citing Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Lanib, July | | 1986). | | | | 1976 - Fourteen boys and their camp counselor Mr. Leifer, from Camp | | Delaware, were hiking in the afternoon on Blueberry Mountain, three | | miles southwest of Winsted, Connecticut. At 3:45 p.m. the group was | | astonished to see a shiny, metallic domed disc hovering over their | | heads. It made a high-pitched whine like the feedback from a | | loudspeaker. They heard a second whine, accompanied by a high-speed | | vertical ascent, and within a few seconds the UFO had vanished by | | shooting straight up in the sky. (Source: International UFO Reporter, | | November 1976, p. 6). | | | | Winsted, Connecticut - July 28, 1976 at 3:45 p.m. | | | | [image] | | | | 1976 - Two women school teachers in their forties were attending an | | educational conference when they looked out the window of their ninth | | floor hotel room at the Stouffers Waterfront Hotel in St. Louis, | | Missouri at 10:30 p.m. and saw a 100 foot in diameter disc-shaped | | craft fly right up to their window, stopping only about 50 feet away. | | It had a revolving rim of lights like windows around its perimeter. | | It shot off after a few seconds, making a rapid ascent. It made no | | sound. (Source: Donald A. Johnson case files, report dated March 9, | | 1988). | | | | St. Louis, Missouri - July 28, 1976 at 10:30 p.m. | | | | [image] | | | | 1978 - A UFO traveling at 1200 mph was sighted over Two Rivers, | | Wisconsin at 11:57 p.m. What was described was the silhouette of | | either a cylinder or a sphere with a series of white, red, green, | | orange and blue colored lights, with one light at a time flashing | | from different positions. It flew to the northeast in an erratic | | flight path. At midnight the same or a similar object was seen and | | photographed over Two Rivers, Wisconsin and sightings continued in | | the next early morning hours over Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. | | (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, August 1979, p. | | 14). | | | | 1989 - A domed disc-shaped object was seen over a high security | | rocket weapons depot in Kapustin Yar, Astrakhan, Russia at 11:20 p.m. | | by four military witnesses, including the two main witnesses named | | Voloshin and Tishchayev. The UFO glowed a phosphorescent green. It | | circled the depot three times, accelerated and then stopped abruptly. | | It shot away when a Soviet fighter jet appeared.

(Sources: Keith Basterfield, UFO Research Queensland; | | Timothy Good, The UFO Report 1992, p. 125). | | | | 1995 - A very bright silver disc was seen hovering in the clear sky | | over Racine, Wisconsin at two o'clock in the afternoon. It was | | suddenly joined by two more similar looking objects. (Sources: Peter | | Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle; Jay Rath, The | | W-Files: True Reports of Wisconsin's Unexplained Phenomena, p. 81). | | | | 1995 - A pear shaped UFO was seen zigzagging over Rome, Italy at | | 11:50 p.m. (Source: SOS-OVNI France, Phenomena magazine, issue #28). | | | | 2002 - Three girls in Tahmoor, Queensland, Australia had decided to | | visit their rooftop as they had done the prior evening to watch for | | satellites. It was around 5:30 p.m. and dusk and the girls had a good | | vantage point looking towards the east. They had a pair of binoculars | | and a pair of walkie-talkies with them. The girls first noticed that | | a large orange light appeared approximately 15 degrees above the | | eastern horizon. The light had fluctuating colors of orange, yellow, | | white and pale blue. At fist they thought it was an arriving | | airplane, but then a second light appeared approximately 50 degrees | | south of the first anomaly, and about 10 degrees above the horizon. | | This much smaller anomaly began to perform some unusual maneuvers. | | From a stationary position it accelerated within a second to 5 | | degrees closer to the ground. The first light then began to move | | slowly north. They lost sight of it as it moved behind a tree. Then a | | third anomaly appeared in a valley. This third object appeared to | | have landed on the ground. The object was viewed through the | | binoculars and was described as a gray saucer with interchanging | | colors of green, red/orange, blue/purple and white rotating around | | the rim. | | | | They were suddenly distracted by someone on their walkie-talkie | | saying, "Identify yourself." This was followed by some unusual voices | | communicating in an unknown language. Around 6:30 p.m. the girls were | | called down to have dinner, but at 8:30 p.m. they had gone back up on | | the roof after dinner. To their surprise, the third ground-based | | object was still there. Unexpectedly, a yellow beam of light ascended | | a few meters above the object and suddenly deviated its course | | towards the three girls. "It was like an orange, yellowy bright light | | shining on us from far away." The light shone on them for a period of | | about half a minute. At this point, it was not clear how it happened, | | but one of the girls ended up on the ground. She became extremely | | hysterical and ran inside. The other two girls quickly followed her. | | That evening all three girls had stomach pains. One of them could not | | sleep and did not go to school the next day. Another one of the girls | | woke up the next morning with a nose bleed, and she mentioned that | | she had seen a strange small human like figure in her bedroom. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2002, citing | | The Australian UFO Research Network). | | | | 2002 - At 3:10 a.m. in a wooded area of Sedona, Arizona the witness | | saw what appeared to be a figure glowing all white, with black | | "straight" eyes, and with a black diagonal/diamond strip of | | "clothing" on top of its head. The man stood staring at the figure | | for 20 seconds and then left the area. Prior to seeing the figure, he | | had seen lights in a large oval shaped pattern in the sky. (Source: | | Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, July 2002 | | webpage). | | | | 2003 - In Wycliffe, British Columbia a silent, low flying, slow | | moving spherical object flew over the highway at 12:45 a.m. and it | | lit up the ground with a beam of light.
