Dahl, his son, and others on board a boat allegedly | | saw six donut-shaped objects, 30 meters in diameter, metallic with | | dark openings, over a bay next to Maury Island on Puget Sound, | | Washington. One of the UFOs exploded, showered the witnesses with a | | slag-like metal. This case has been widely regarded as a hoax because | | of some deliberate deception of UFO investigator Kenneth Arnold by a | | shadowy con man named Chrisman who claimed to have been involved, but | | there are still unexplained elements to this case. (Source: Jacques | | Vallee, Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact, p. | | 47). | | | | 1947 - Eight disc-shaped objects the size of a house were seen flying | | at 1,000 kph at 11:55 a.m. in Spokane, Washington.

At 12:30 p.m. Sgt. Howard Davis, the | | flight engineer of a B-29 bomber flying at 8,000' altitude, witnessed | | a flat object with a sharply pointed front and rounded rear. It was | | white with a dark blue center and red rim. It trailed sparks as it | | dove past the B-29 at a distance of 500 feet for a very brief time. | | (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, | | case # 1319; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns; Dominique | | Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 16; Loren E.

(Source: Edward J. | | Ruppelt, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 43). | | | | 1954 - Mr. and Mrs. Guy Baker saw a hovering, domed disc-shaped | | object in Ridgeway, Ontario. It was about 14 meters in diameter (40 | | feet) and had several rotating, flashing lights around the rim. They | | drove their car to get a closer look. The object crossed the road in | | front of the car and landed in a field. The car stalled and they had | | to push it because it would not re-start, although it had never given | | them trouble before the incident or since. They watched as the lights | | moved around in the area. They found a large, brown, circular spot in | | the pasture where the disk had been resting.

Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple | | UFO, p. 186). | | | | 1958 - A two meter in diameter orange ball of fire was sighted by | | many at 7:15 a.m. over Chenxi County, Hunan Province, China. It was | | spinning out a cloud of smoke. It made a 120 degree turn near a | | school, and left behind a smell of ozone in the air.

King and his tail gunner M/Sgt. | | Roberts, aboard a B-52 heavy jet bomber flying over Indianapolis, | | Indiana sighted three bright, star-like flying nocturnal lights.

The day before the | | sightings began, the newspaper received a phone call stating, | | "Attention, it will begin at any moment..." (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, case # 3186, citing Dr. | | Rafael Lara). | | | | 1967 - Mr. and Mrs. Larsen recalled being abducted on this night by | | aliens while driving on a New Mexico highway.

At 1:30 | | a.m. the domed, disc-shaped object flew extremely low, nearly hugging | | the ground, and traveled from north to south while illuminating the | | ground with a vertical beam of red light. The top of the object | | appeared to be spinning. It suddenly increased in speed and | | left. Calcination traces were found by police.

An orange ball of fire slowly descended | | toward a maple tree. It wobbled, gave off white trail of vapor, | | accelerated away, then broke into many sparks.(Source: Raymond E. | | Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 353). | | | | Revere, Massachusetts - 1968 | | | | [image] | | | | 1970 - Paul Foster, in the St. Helliers section of Auckland, New | | Zealand, saw a figure about 20 yards away from him while working on a | | car. It was facing in the opposite direction. Viewed from the rear, | | the humanoid was about 5'9" tall and wore a one-piece blue coverall, | | the legs of which were tucked into mud covered boots. The man carried | | a leather case on his left hip attached to a strap over his right | | shoulder, and was holding a box-like object to his face with a | | periscope like extender sticking out and up to the right side. This | | periscope device was pointed away from the observer to the north, | | toward the sun. The figure was blond with short-cropped hair. He | | walked dragging his feet, as if fatigued. Foster glanced away | | thinking it was perhaps a mailman, but when he realized it was | | Sunday, he knew this could not be. When he again looked up the figure | | had gone. Foster rushed out in search of him but could find no trace. | | (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1970-1, citing Vic Harris for the New Zealand | | Scientific Space Research Group, Auckland). | | | | 1971 - A 50-foot diameter disc was seen hovering overhead on this | | night in Pinehurst, Idaho.

Suddenly he became paralyzed and unable to move. | | Beside the object were two short beings with large heads and long | | arms. They wore helmets and tight fitting silvery uniforms. The two | | humanoids appeared to be collecting soil samples from the ground. | | After a few moments, they conversed among themselves in an unknown | | language, then boarded the object, which quickly took off at high | | speed. Cesar was unable to move for the next five minutes. Afterwards | | he felt very tired and sleepy for 2 to 3 days.

Suddenly | | the light went dark and two humanoids became visible. They were both | | walking on the road toward him. The beings wore fluorescent helmets | | and boots and tight-fitting silvery outfits, but no other details | | were visible. His dogs began barking in an agitated manner. | | Terrified, the witness and his dogs ran in the opposite direction, | | not looking back at the humanoids. The night before this close | | encounter another local witness had seen a white light hovering over | | a house. (Source: Albert S.
