It made no noise.

(Source: Richard Hall, The UFO | | Evidence, p. 137). | | | | 1961 - In the sea off the town of Savona, Italy four people who were | | taking a ride in a small motorboat were suddenly rocked by growing | | waves. They stood up and noticed the sea swell up like an enormous | | bubble a kilometer away, with large waves widening into a circle. A | | few seconds later an object emerged and hovered at 10 meters altitude | | above the waves for a brief time. Its lower part was similar to an | | upside down plate and the upper part was shaped like a cone. As it | | was emerging from the water the object seemed to push it as if there | | was an air pillow. After it had emerged completely, the object | | stopped for a few seconds in the air at about 10 meters above the | | surface. After a few sways, a mark around the base formed and the | | object rapidly departed following a trajectory oblique to the sea | | surface and disappeared towards the northeast.

Gazua were driving to | | Parana, Entre Rios province, Argentina and were near the town of | | Crespo at 1:15 a.m. when they saw a luminous truncated cone, 3-4 | | meters high, on the ground 100 meters away. Through a doorway in the | | object they saw a being of normal height, wearing a diver suit with a | | hood. Inside was seated a second man. They drove on. (Source: David | | F.

It had a red misty glow. A second ovoid | | flew off to the northwest. There were a total of 10 separate | | observers. At 10:00 a luminous blue blimp-shaped object hovered low | | over New River, Arizona. It ascended and flew off to the | | south-southwest when it was illuminated by car headlights.

They ran to the beach and saw, about 30 yards ahead, two | | men, talking, with their backs to them. The boys said the two men | | wore "glass helmets and gray suits with something that looked like | | scuba tanks on their backs." One of the youngsters was so surprised | | that he made a sound, startling the men. They scrambled quickly | | aboard a "round white thing" which sped to a strange floating device | | about 300 feet offshore. There were windows in the floating object, | | they said, and they could see people moving inside. On one side, | | there was a gray star with some type of identifying letters. The boys | | ran back at the same time the men raced for the object, and when they | | paused to look back, they were expecting the craft to take to the | | air. Instead, it submerged and vanished.

(Source: NICAP case file, | | investigation report dated July 5, 1967). | | | | 1967 - Shortly after 10 p.m., on Lake Nipissing, Ontario a buoy | | tender named Arcand observed green and white lights between two small | | islands. Thinking another boatman might be in trouble, the buoy | | tender headed toward the lights. He was about 100 feet away when the | | lights rose from the water "with a whoosh" and sped off into the | | night. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, March 1968, p. 5; Ivan T. | | Sanderson, Invisible Residents, p. 228). | | | | 1969 - Four observers driving in a truck in Vicuna, Chile at 5:05 | | a.m. saw an orange oval-shaped object that flew fast, stopped, | | reversed its direction of flight, did some general maneuvering, and | | then made an abrupt change in elevation. They saw two luminous | | figures hide from view. A beam of energy paralyzed the exposed arms | | of two of the witnesses. (Sources: CICA Boletin, December | | 1969; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 118). | | | | 1969 - Starting at around 6:00 p.m. many townspeople watched three | | disc-shaped UFOs maneuver over the town of Angra dos Reis, Rio de | | Janeiro state, Brazil for hours.

(Source: Walter Buhler, FSR Case | | Histories, October 1971, p. 15). | | | | 1973 - A circular indentation five meters across was found as a | | possible UFO landing site in Old Junee, New South Wales, Australia. | | Close by were six pod marks about 1 meter in diameter, spaced at a | | regular distance apart.

A domed disc with a thin | | base and blinkers, blinked in response to flashlight signals, but | | flew away when a car attempted to approach it. (Source: Lumieres dans | | la Nuit, issue #141). | | | | 1975 - A ten-meter diameter disc-shaped object zig-zagged across a | | road on Palmer Island, New South Wales, Australia. It is possible | | there had been a landing because the object had been so close to the | | ground, and animals were upset. There were 5 witnesses, and the | | sighting lasted two minutes. (Source: Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. | | 207) | | | | 1976 - Two people saw a disc-shaped object the color of silver or | | chrome moving nearby in the sky over Troy, Michigan at 9:55 p.m. They | | followed it in their car for some time as it changed directions and | | moved erratically about. They also heard unusual static on the car | | radio during the sighting. Eventually the object suddenly left very | | quickly and they could not keep pace with it. (Sources: Mark | | Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 398, | | citing personal investigation; CUFOS News Bulletin, September 1976, | | p. 5). | | | | 1977 - At eight o'clock in the evening two people driving in a car in | | Hanover, Northern Cape province, South Africa experienced radio | | static on their car radio as a three meter wide nocturnal | | light paced their car.

(Source: Cynthia Hind, UFOs--African | | Encounters, p. 157). | | | | 1982 - At around 4:00 a.m. a young woman in Brooklyn, New York was | | awakened by a voice slowly calling her name. When she got up from bed | | she saw a large glowing object outside her window. She saw two | | man-like figures staring at her from inside the craft, and a small | | table inside the object. The two men began moving back and forth very | | quickly. The UFO then changed into a bright fiery flame and | | disappeared. The woman received a telepathic message before it | | departed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1982, | | case # 1085, citing Brad & Shirley Hansen Steiger, Starborn). | | | | 1986 - On this night Paulo Pereira Campos was returning to his home | | accompanied by his two daughters in a rural part of Nego, Minas | | Gerais state, Brazil. He noticed a luminous yellow, oval-shaped | | object approaching them. They all ran and hid in a bamboo grove, | | where they watched the object land about 200 meters away. Two short | | figures emerged from the UFO and walked around the area for 15 | | minutes. They then entered the craft and it took off and left. | | Footprints were found at the site. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1986, citing Antonio Faleiro). | | | | 1989 - At 10:46 p.m. a couple driving in Long Beach, Washington | | observed four glowing footballs, which they estimated were twenty to | | thirty feet long and at an altitude of 700 feet above them.

Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1992, case # 2392, citing LDLN, issue # 334). | | | | 1995 - A white cigar-shaped object zig-zagged through the sky at | | araound 8:00 p.m. on Harwood Island, New South Wales, Australia. Then | | a huge ovoid object rose from the ground, leaving behind traces. A | | dog became sick. (Sources: Bill Chalker, Australasian Ufologist, | | April 1999, p. 26; Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. 204). | | | | 2000 - In Manzanita, Oregon there were two independent reports of | | orange colored lights coming from the northwest, traveling in a line | | at a fast speed. The most seen at any one time were three.
