# UFO Event Timeline, Part 3: 1960 up to and including 1969, v1.26 - Compiled 6/19/2023 An automated compilation by Richard Geldreich, Jr. using public data from Dr. Jacques Vallée, Pea Research, George M. Eberhart, Richard H. Hall, Dr. Donald A. Johnson, Fred Keziah, Don Berliner, Larry Hatch, and [NICAP](https://www.nicap.org/). ## Copyrights: - Richard Geldreich, Jr. - Copyright (c) 2023 (all parsed dates and events marked \"maj2\" unless otherwise attributed) - Dr. Jacques F. Vallée - Copyright (c) 1993 - LeRoy Pea - Copyright (c) 9/8/1988 (updated 3/17/2005) - George M. Eberhart - Copyright (c) 2022 - Dr. Donald A. Johnson - Copyright (c) 2012 - Fred Keziah - Copyright (c) 1958 - Larry Hatch - Copyright (c) 1992-2002 ## Update History: - v1.23-1.24: Added a handful of key historical events, such as Edward Tauss the head of CIA UFO disinformation in the 50's - v1.22: Fixing the date of Dr. Eric W. Davis's March, 2020 classified briefing to the Senate (I had it listed as March 2019) - info from NY Times. Basic locations added to Eberhart records using OpenAI. - v1.20: Split up into 5 parts, to work around iPhone web browser limits. Minor spelling and grammer fixes throughout timeline. - v1.15: Eberhart records now have basic locations, thanks to OpenAI's Davinci-3 AI model. They aren't perfect, but it's a good start to geocoding them. - v1.14: Added nuclear test data, over 2000 records, from the [Worldwide Nuclear Explosions](https://web.archive.org/web/20220407121213/https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~richards/my_papers/WW_nuclear_tests_IASPEI_HB.pdf) paper by Yang, North, Romney, and Richards. Note the locations in the paper are approximate, and the yields are not super accurate, which are two problems I'll fix over time. I improved the coordinates of the earliest USA/USSR tests by looking them up from Wikipedia. - v1.13: Split up the timeline into 4 parts. Still not the best solution, but it avoids croaking browsers. - v1.12: Added \*U\* database record data, using a custom event description decoder to handle his 1k+ abbreviations and custom syntax - v1.11: Crawled all ~10.5k unique URL's in this timeline using [curl](https://curl.se/) and fixed dead URL's to use archive.org. - v1.10: Added NIPCAP DB data. ## Important Notes: Best viewed on a desktop/laptop, not a mobile device. I've split up the timeline into 4 parts, to reduce their sizes: distant past up to 1949, 1950-1959, 1960-1979, and 1980-present. The majority of the events in this chronology are sighting related, however it's important to be aware that this is a timeline of UFO/UAP related _events_, not necessarily or exclusively UFO _sightings_. Some sighting reports or events appear multiple times in this timeline because they appear in more than one data source. I view this as a useful feature. Currently, the events are not sorted by time of day, only by date. Some sources have separate "time" fields, but most don't. This will be fixed once the event times are automatically extracted from the description fields. A few events don't have firm dates, for example "Summer of 1947", or "Late July 1952". In these instances the compilation code uses fixed dates I selected for date sorting purposes. (See the code for the specific dates.) ## Source Code: This website is created automatically using a [C++](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B) command line tool called “ufojson”. It parses the raw text and [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) source data to [JSON format](https://www.json.org/json-en.html), which is then converted to a single large web page using [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/). This tool's source code and all of the raw source and JSON data is located [here on github](https://github.com/richgel999/ufo_data). ## Year Ranges 1.

On their third day in Tucson, an “exterminator” visits them, offering to inspect their rented premises for free. He fails to mention the name of his company, nor does he seem interested in his occupation. He talks with Coral about their reason for moving, where Jim is employed, and UFOs. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 50; Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, Berkley Medallion, 1976, pp. 3, 251 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3389 ### Event 16050 (316C349E) **Date:** 1960 **Locations:** Mars; Atlantis; Lemuria **Description:** [Brinsley Le Poer Trench,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinsley%5FLe%5FPoer%5FTrench%2C%5F8th%5FEarl%5Fof%5FClancarty) 8th Earl of Clancarty, publishes The Sky People, in which he claims that [Adam and](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%5Fand%5FEve) [Eve,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%5Fand%5FEve) [Noah,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah) and many other characters in the Bible originally lived on Mars. Trench believes that Adam and Eve were experimental creations of extraterrestrials. The biblical description of the Garden of Eden is inconsistent with what Earth is like, and because Mars contains canals, the Garden of Eden must have been located on Mars. He further claims that the north polar ice cap melted on Mars, causing the descendants of Adam and Eve to move to Earth. The Book of Genesis is a symbolic version of what actually happened to groups of people on Mars, he writes, with the Great Deluge referring to the flooding of Atlantis and Lemuria, which were populated with Adamic migrants. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Brinsley Le Poer Trench, [The Sky People](https://archive.org/details/skypeople00lepo)[,](https://archive.org/details/skypeople00lepo) Spearman, 1960; Jerome Clark, “Vimanas Have Landed: Ancient Astronautics in Ufology,” IUR 22, no. 3 \(Fall 1997\): 26–27 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3390 ### Event 16051 (F37F8BDB) **Date:** 1960 **Description:** Contactee [George Hunt Williamson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FHunt%5FWilliamson) legally changes his name to Michel d’Obrenovic, said to reflect an ancestral connection to the throne of Serbia. However, John Griffin says the real reason is that Williamson’s sensational claims have rendered his anthropological work \(such as it is\) completely unacceptable. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 1287; Zirger and Martinelli, The Incredible Life of George Hunt Williamson, Verdechiari, 2016, pp. 119–124 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3391 ### Event 16052 (084328C4) **Date:** 1960 **Locations:** Brno; Czech Republic **Description:** Night. During a pause in army maneuvers near Brno \[now in the Czech Republic\], soldiers see a peculiarly colored light above the city. After hovering a while, it vanishes but reappears in another part of the sky. Their commanding officer tells them to look at it with binoculars and check the radar. Headquarters sends up interceptors to chase the object, but every time one of them gets near, the light disappears from the radar screen, only to turn up elsewhere. The incident goes on for an hour before the light disappears for good. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Hobana and Weverbergh 90 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3392 ### Event 16053 (DA8DAFA8) **Date:** 1960 **Description:** The invention of transponders that transmit an electronic identification signal from aircraft to ground control helps to further reduce clutter on air traffic control radars. This means that “aerial phenomena” appear on radar only if they intrude on flight paths and create a near miss of the type investigated by the Civil Aviation Authority. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** David Clarke, “Gremlins and Black Projects,” Fortean Times 291 \(August 2012\): 26–27; National Air Traffic Controllers Association, [A History of Air Traffic Control](https://www.natca.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/NATCA%5FATC%5FHistory.pdf), 2019 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3393 ### Event 16054 (FFA2281B) **Date:** Early 1960 **Locations:** James Connally AFB [now TSTC Waco Airport] near Waco, Texas; Waco **Description:** Night. Vice Chief of Air Staff Gen. [Curtis LeMay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis%5FLeMay) is conducting an exercise to test his bombers’ capability to penetrate US air space. An F-89J Scorpion jet instructor pilot and his radar observer, 1Lt. Joe Meyer, have just successfully intercepted a B-47 and are descending to land at James Connally AFB \[now TSTC Waco Airport\] near Waco, Texas. They notice a pinpoint of light at their level 12 miles away over Waco and decide to approach and attack it as if they are armed. As they approach on a collision course, they see the object has four bright blue- white lights on it and it is stationary. They estimate it is 25–30 feet in diameter. But the object shoots straight up at incredible speed before they reach it. They look up and see the object is bright blue white on its underside. It disappears at about 90,000 feet altitude. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Pilot Finally Reveals UFO Encounter,](http://www.noufors.com/Documents/Books%2C%20Manuals%20and%20Published%20Papers/Specialty%20UFO%20Publications/Personal%20Collection%20of%20UFO%20Publications/MUFON%20Journals/1999/07/July%201999.pdf)” MUFON UFO Journal, no. 375 \(July 1999\): 17 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3388 ### Event 16055 (0BC734A8) **Date:** 1/1960 **Locations:** Victoria; Queensland **Description:** The first issue of the Australian Flying Saucer Review is published jointly by the Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society and UFOIC, edited by Peter E.

"It was the fastest thing I ever saw," said tower employee Jack McMillen who spotted the light at about 11:05 p.m. A departing private plane also saw the object. Earlier that evening, four different pilots in two commercial airlines planes flying between Bryce Canyon and Mormon Mesa reported observing a similar light. Their reports of the object to Salt Lake City were intercepted by the McCarran tower. McMillen said he saw the light for about two or perhaps three seconds, going north to south at about a 15-20 degree elevation. He also said he had thought it might have been a meteor but changed his mind as it left no trail, and had a horizontal trajectory. He said he contacted a private plane which had just taken off and asked the pilot for confirmation. The pilot confirmed McMillen's sighting. An Air Force T-33 inbound to [Nellis AFB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellis_Air_Force_Base) also confirmed its pilot had also seen a strange light. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** [APRO Bulletin - Jan. 1960, Page 3](https://www.openminds.tv/pdf/apro/apro_jan_1960.pdf) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_925 **Attributes:** Nellis ### Event 16058 (E2ABBEEE) **Date:** 1/6/1960 **Time:** 08:00 **Location:** JACKSON, MI **Description:** Several observer(s).

Cars are stopped bumper-to- bumper, according to employees of several businesses around the intersection, with people gaping at the object overhead. Persons on hotel and apartment rooftops go out to see a bright “cherry-red, circular light.” Two service- station attendants at the intersection, Jerry Darr and Charles Walker, say that “hundreds of people saw it— everybody was looking” as the light hovers for at least 5 minutes over a busy drive-in. Pen Meyer, another service station attendant a third of a mile to the north, watches it hovering for about 10 minutes. Harold Sherman, his wife, and two others watch it as it resumes motion very slowly eastward. After proceeding east for a distance of a block or two, it veers southeastward and passes out of sight. No sound is heard over street-noise background. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Los Angeles NICAP Subcommittee case files; James E.

A number of witnesses observe it hovering for about 10 minutes at an altitude of 500–600 feet. Then with a loud explosion it emits a brilliant bluish-white flash that extends downward and to the west, lighting up the ground all around La Brea Avenue. A mushroom-shaped cloud appears and dissipates. As the red light is extinguished, an object described by most witnesses as long, tubular, and about 70 feet long shoots upwards. A few seconds later, the red light appears about 1,000 feet above Sunset and La Brea for about 8 minutes. It then begins drifting slowly eastward, turns sharply toward the north-northeast, accelerates and climbs steeply, not stopping again until it is at a very high altitude well to the north. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Los Angeles NICAP Subcommittee case file; James E.

As he slews his antenna off Tau Ceti and onto Epsilon Eridani, Drake is greeted with a strong, periodic, pulsed signal on 1420 MHz, the hyperfine transition emission line of interstellar hydrogen atoms proposed for SETI by [Giuseppe Cocconi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe%5FCocconi) and [Philip Morrison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip%5FMorrison), and still favored as a promising hailing frequency for interstellar communications. Drake is ready with a second, low-gain antenna. The pulses are there as well, sadly disproving their extraterrestrial origin. But they are not exactly terrestrial interference, either. The rate at which the phantom signal traverses the sky suggests that it is emanating from an aircraft cruising at unprecedented altitude—perhaps 80,000 feet. At the time, no known aircraft can reach the stratosphere. Such an aircraft, as it happens, doesn’t “come into existence” until the following month, when [Francis Gary Powers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis%5FGary%5FPowers) is shot down over the Soviet Union. \(Drake wisely decides to withhold publication of this positive result, so he never does receive proper credit for “discovering” the U-2.\) The project only lasts through July. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Project Ozma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project%5FOzma)”; H.

A beachcomber runs across the pieces, one closer to the shore and visible at low tide, the other one further out and mostly submerged. He retrieves a smaller piece \(800 pounds\) and sells it to a scrap-metal dealer, who fails to recognize it as ferrous and possibly ships it to Japan. The other piece is picked up by the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment \[now DRDC Valcartier\] near Quebec City. [Wilbert Smith](http://www.noufors.com/Wilbert%5FB%5FSmith.htm)’s Ottawa Flying Saucer Club \[later the Ottawa New Sciences Club\] tells its members that the material is high-strength metal that is 6 feet in diameter and 2 feet thick at the center with an embedded tube, an “electronic potting can,” and a transistor. CARDE’s analysis is said to have revealed an alloy with a high manganese content, although it was identified as the “normal product of a foundry, consisting of slag with semi- molten scrap embedded in it,” likely coming from Sorel Iron Foundries in Sorel, Quebec. Smith rejects those findings and and conducts his own tests \(although he is an electrical engineer and not a metallurgist\) on a chunk the club retrieves from the river around July 1, supposedly engaging in a “tremendous amount of detective work on this metal.” In November 1961, Smith tells Ohio UFO researchers C. W. Fitch and George Popovitch: “We are speculating that what we have is a portion of a very large device which came into this solar system…we don’t know when…but it had been in space a long time before it came to Earth; we can tell by the micrometeorites embedded in the surface. But we don’t know whether it was a few years ago—or a few hundred years ago.” In June 1968, the Colorado project’s [Roy Craig](https://www.iowastatedaily.com/news/ufo-investigator-isu-alumnus-dead/article%5Fd3e1f4e4-28e6-5600-bff7-846c287c3b6b.html) is in Ottawa and offers to examine the club’s chunk of metal because they had offered it to Condon a year earlier. Craig obligingly takes a piece with him but does not analyze it since there is no connection to a UFO and it looks like foundry slag anyway. Later, the Montreal UFO Society’s Ronald Anstee has a piece of it analyzed by an independent metallurgist, who finds that the composition “does not correspond to any known commercial manganese steel.” In September 1967, Eric Smith of the Canada Department of Energy, Mines, and Resources visits the Ottawa club and examines their large artifact, but fails to report back. In 1969, the National Research Council’s [Peter Millman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter%5FMillman) takes a look and is convinced that it is ordinary manganese steel from the Sorel plant. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[The Mysterious Chunk of Hardware at Ottawa,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2020%20-%201966%20Spring.pdf)” Topside, no. 20 \(Spring 1966\): 4–6; Frank Edwards, FS Serious Business, Bantam ed., 1966, [pp. 48–49](https://archive.org/details/flyingsaucersser00edwa/page/48/mode/2up); “[The Mystery of UFO](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2024-25%20-%201967%20Spring%20and%20Summer.pdf) [Hardware,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2024-25%20-%201967%20Spring%20and%20Summer.pdf)” Topside, no. 24/25 \(Spring/Summer 1967\): 10–11; “[Unidentified Hardware Mystery Deepens,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2027.pdf)” Topside, no. 27 \(Winter 1968\): 4–9; “[Latest Report on the Mystery Metal,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2029.pdf)” Topside, no. 29 \(Summer 1968\): 11– 12; Condon, [pp. 133–135](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/132/mode/2up); “[Canada’s Mysterious Chunk of Metal,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20Kingdom/Spacelink%20%28Lionel%20Beer%29/Spacelink%201970%20vol%206%20no%202.pdf)” Spacelink 6, no. 2 \(January 1970\): 6–9; “[More](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2033.pdf) [Mystery Added to Ottawa’s Mysterious Chunk of Hardware,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2033.pdf)” Topside, no. 33 \(Winter/Spring 1970\): 13–17; “[Latest Report on Ottawa’s Mystery Metal,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2034.pdf)” Topside, no. 34 \(Summer/Fall 1970\): 22–23; “[New Deveopments on](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2035.pdf) [Ottawa’s Mystery Metal,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Topside%20%28Wilbert%20B%20Smith%29/Topside%20-%20Issue%2035.pdf)” Topside, no. 35 \(Winter 1971\): 29–33; Story, [pp. 208–209](https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofuf0000unse/page/208/mode/2up); John Robert Colombo, UFOs over Canada, Hounslow, 1991, pp. 53–56; Roy Craig, UFOs: An Insiders’ View of the Official Quest for Evidence, University of North Texas, 1995, pp. 121–132; Good Above, [pp. 188–189](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/188/mode/2up); Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 166, 229–249 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3425 ### Event 16220 (309D4559) **Date:** Summer 1960 **Location:** Walkerton, Ontario **Description:** 2:00 a.m. Two brothers are alerted by their journalist brother about an elusive UFO that local police in Walkerton, Ontario, have been pursuing for about an hour.

He hears a noise like an aircraft approaching and something bounces and hits the surface of the lake about 1,700 feet behind him. Person sees an object 4–6 feet wide with arms or spokes is rotating rapidly in the water, but gradually slows down and stops spinning. When his partner arrives, they get into a canoe and travel to the impact area. They find an area of burned grass and another area where grass it cut up in small pieces. They use a pole to probe the lake bottom and find a channel that is one foot deeper at one end and three feet deeper at the other, RCMP Cpl. Matheson flies to the lake in a seaplane on July 19 and August 15 and finds the impact area as Person has described but no submerged object. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Royal Canadian Mounted Police, “[Report of](https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/unusual/ufo/Pages/GeoMaps.aspx\#nwt) [Strange Object Striking Clan Lake, Clan Lake Dist., N.W.T.,](https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/unusual/ufo/Pages/GeoMaps.aspx\#nwt)” July 19, July 25, and August 25, 1960; Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 98–102 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3427 ### Event 16223 (820A8366) **Date:** 6/22/1960 **Description:** A strange flying object struck Clan Lake, which is located some 30 miles north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada at around 6 p.m. About 20-25 minutes after a airplane had dropped off witness C. T. Wright, he heard a noise that sounded like a large plane in the distance. The noise got louder but he could not see anything in the sky. He then heard something strike the water behind him and saw an object with arms or spokes rotating in the water. It was rotating very rapidly and throwing water, but gradually it began to spin less and finally stopped. It was about 1700 feet away from him. When his partner arrived they took a canoe and went over to the shallow spot in the lake where the object hit the water. There was grass about 18 inches high were the object hit and it appeared to be burnt and cut up over an area of 20 feet by 60 feet. They felt around in the water with their paddles where the floor of the lake was very much disturbed and muddy, and one to three feet deeper than the surrounding lake proper. The object looked to be about 4-6 feet wide. Mr. Wright did not see any steam when the object hit the water. He and his partner went back to the location on two more occasions but could find nothing. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Carl Feindt, www.waterufo.net, citing RCMP report courtesy of Chris Styles **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3603 ### Event 16224 (B6EF6E82) **Date:** 6/28/1960 (approximate) **Time:** 12:00 **Location:** LOUVIERS, FR **Description:** 1 / garden.

On August 11, after 17 orbits, the satellite splashes down in the North Pacific and its payload is recovered. It represents the first-ever successful recovery of an object from orbit. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Discoverer 13](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discoverer%5F13)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3438 ### Event 16274 (5D42C61D) **Date:** 8/11/1960 **Time:** 15:10 **Location:** LEFT HAND CANYON, CO **Description:** Saucer going down / ground.

Looking up, he watches a disc dropping vertically out of the cloud cover. It stops in midair about 650 feet away from him and 200 feet above the ground, wobbling a bit. When it stabilizes, he sees it looks like two concave discs joined together at the rim and dull aluminum in color. Bluish smoke is issuing from an apparent gap in its surface. An electric hum seems to come from inside the object. The section where the smoke is issuing is withdrawn inside, and a new section appears to replace it, settling in with a click. The hum increases in intensity, and the object appears to be surrounded by a heat haze. It then shoots up into the clouds and vanishes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, Signet, 1969, pp. 223–225 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3439 ### Event 16276 (148F3745) **Date:** 8/11/1960 **Description:** An important close encounter case involving ignition interference with the engine of a tractor occurred on this day in Left Hand Canyon, Boulder County, Colorado at 3:10 in the afternoon. Mr. Robert Hawks was operating a tractor with a backhoe when his tractor stalled. Looking up he saw a disc-shaped object hovering in the sky above the canyon, making a humming noise, and he watched for the next 15 minutes, unable to re-start his tractor, while some apparent repair activity was performed on the hovering craft. A panel on the craft was rotated inside and replaced. Ater the repair was completed, the craft departed by shooting straight up in the sky. Mr. Hawks could then restart his tractor. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** B. V.

It is supposed to be three times faster than the Echo 1 satellite and travels east to west in a retrograde orbit, rather than west to east. Its inclination to the equator is about 135°. The color of the object varies from “carrot to straw.” The Grumman observers estimate that the object is in an eccentric orbit with an apogee of as much as 4,200 miles and a perigee of about 300 miles. They immediately produce a proposal to the US Air Force to share data in the hopes of plotting a firm orbit for the mystery satellite. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Grumman](http://nicap.org/600825mystery%5Fsatellite%5Fdir.htm) [Mystery Satellite](http://nicap.org/600825mystery%5Fsatellite%5Fdir.htm)”; Gordon W.

[Roscoe Hillenkoetter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roscoe%5FH.%5FHillenkoetter)’s request that “Congress inform the public as to the facts.” Based on a there-year NICAP study, Wolf states that all defense personnel “should be told that the UFOs are real and should be trained to distinguish them—by their characteristic speeds and maneuvers— from conventional planes and missiles…. The American people must be convinced, by documented facts, that the UFOs could not be Soviet machines.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[NICAP UFO Report: Extension of Remarks of Hon.

Bissell Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%5FM.%5FBissell%5FJr) and DCI [Allen W. Dulles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen%5FDulles) initiate talks with two leading figures of the Mafia, [Johnny Roselli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%5FRoselli) and [Sam Giancana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam%5FGiancana)[.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam%5FGiancana) Later, other crime bosses such as [Carlos Marcello](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos%5FMarcello)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos%5FMarcello) [Santo Trafficante](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santo%5FTrafficante%5FJr) [Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santo%5FTrafficante%5FJr)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santo%5FTrafficante%5FJr) and Meyer Lansky become involved in the first plot against [Fidel Castro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel%5FCastro)[.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel%5FCastro) The strategy is managed by [Sheffield Edwards](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKedwardsS.htm). [Robert Maheu](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKmaheu.htm)[,](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKmaheu.htm) a veteran of CIA counterespionage activities, is instructed to hire the Mafia to kill Castro. The advantage of employing the Mafia for this work is that it provides the CIA with a credible cover story. The Mafia are known to be angry with Castro for closing their profitable brothels and casinos in Cuba. On September 14, Maheu meets with Roselli in a New York City hotel and offers him $150,000 for the “removal” of Castro. [James O’Connell](https://web.archive.org/web/100/http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=james%5Fo%5F%5Fconnell)[,](https://web.archive.org/web/100/http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=james%5Fo%5F%5Fconnell) who identifies himself as Maheu’s associate but is really the chief of the CIA’s operational support division, is present during the meeting. Declassified documents do not reveal if Roselli, Giancana, or Trafficante accept a down payment for the job. According to CIA files, it is Giancana who suggests poison pills to add to Castro’s food or drinks. Such pills, manufactured by the CIA’s Technical Services Division, are given to Giancana’s nominee named [Juan Orta](http://www.historyofcuba.com/history/havana/Orta.htm). Giancana recommends him as being an official in the Cuban government with access to Castro. Allegedly, after several unsuccessful attempts to introduce the poison into Castro’s food, Orta abruptly demands to be let out of the mission, handing over the job to another unnamed participant. Later, a second attempt is mounted through Giancana and Trafficante using [Tony Varona](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKvarona.htm), the leader of the Cuban Exile Junta, who has, according to Trafficante, become “disaffected with the apparent ineffectual progress of the Junta.” Varona requests $10,000 in expenses and $1,000 worth of communications equipment. However, it is unknown how far the second attempt goes, as it is canceled due to the launching of the Bay of Pigs Invasion. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Sam Giancana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam%5FGiancana\#CIA%5Fconnections)”; Wikipedia, “[Assassination attempts on Fidel Castro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination%5Fattempts%5Fon%5FFidel%5FCastro\#Mafia%5Fengagement)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3453 ### Event 16335 (27B06070) **Date:** 9/1960 **Location:** Democratic Republic of the Congo **Description:** MKUltra chief [Sidney Gottlieb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney%5FGottlieb) brings a vial of poison concealed in toothpaste to the Democratic Republic of the Congo with plans to place it on Prime Minister [Patrice Lumumba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrice%5FLumumba)’s toothbrush.

After another minute, all the UFOs abruptly reverse back into the rain squall at the same speed. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Mysterious Ships in the Sky,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Australia/Australian%20Flying%20Saucer%20Review/Australian%20Flying%20Saucer%20Review%20-%201961%2002%20-%20vol%201%20no%204.pdf)” Australian Flying Saucer Review 1, no. 4 \(February 1961\): 1–2; Loren E.

Tacker says he wrote the book Flying Saucers and the US Air Force because “I felt the Air Force was being set upon by Maj.

The show generates numerous phone calls and letters to NBC, most of them critical of the Air Force. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Loren E.

It is later published as a 272-page Committee Print for the House Committee on Science and Astronautics on March 24, 1961. The report includes a section on “Implications of a Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life.” It is sent to the House Committee on Science and Astronautics for approval by Rep. [Overton Brooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton%5FBrooks) \(D-La.\) and discusses the effects of meeting extraterrestrial life: “It is possible that if the intelligence of these creatures were sufficiently superior to ours, they would choose to have little if any contact with us.” It also speculates on the possibility of finding alien artifacts on earth and the possibility that contact might result in social disintegration. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Brookings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookings%5FReport) [Report](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookings%5FReport)”; Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs, committee print prepared for NASA by the Brookings Institution, Report of the US House Committee on Science and Astronautics, 87th Congress, First Session, March 24, 1961, [pp. 215–216](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003453936&view=1up&seq=229&skin=2021)[,](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003453936&view=1up&seq=229&skin=2021) [225–226](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003453936&view=1up&seq=239&skin=2021) \(note 34\) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3479 ### Event 16439 (D09E7B48) **Date:** 12/14/1960 **Locations:** Leningrad [now St. Petersburg]; Moscow; Kaliningrad; Hiroshima **Description:** The first Single Integrated Operational Plan, titled SIOP-62, is completed. It describes a massive strike with the entire US arsenal of 3,200 warheads, totaling 7847 megatons, against Russia, China, and Soviet-aligned states with urban and other targets being hit simultaneously. Nine weapons are to be “laid down” on four targets in Leningrad \[now St. Petersburg\], 23 weapons on six target complexes in Moscow, and 18 on seven target areas in Kaliningrad. Weapons scientist [George W. Rathjens](http://news.mit.edu/2016/george-rathjens-professor-emeritus-political-science-dies-0610) looks through SAC’s atlas of Soviet cities, searching for the town that most closely resembles Hiroshima in size and industrial concentration. When he finds one that roughly matches, he asks how many bombs the SIOP “laid down” on that city. The reply: one 4.5 megaton bomb and three more 1.1 megaton weapons in case the big bomb is a dud. The execution of SIOP-62 is estimated to result in 285 million dead and 40 million casualties in the Soviet Union and China. Presented with all the facts and figures, USAF Gen. [Thomas D. White](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%5FD.%5FWhite) finds the plan “splendid.” Disregarding the human aspect, SIOP-62 represents an outstanding technological achievement. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Single Integrated Operational Plan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single%5FIntegrated%5FOperational%5FPlan\#The%5Ffirst%5FSIOP)”; Daniel Ellsberg, The Doomsday Machine, Bloomsbury, 2017, pp. 90–103 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3480 ### Event 16440 (17BD627B) **Date:** 12/18/1960 **Location:** US **Description:** Interview with USAF Col.

It had not been there two days earlier. The base is remarkably smooth, and around the edge are lumps of grass and soil but no trace of the excavated dirt. Six investigators from Leningrad \[now St. Petersburg\] arrive and find odd, crumbling black pellets on the edge of the lake. Divers discover a 330- foot strip where the soil has been displaced along the floor of the lake, as if something slid along the ground and submerged, ploughing up the soil. Geologist Vsevolod Charmov examines ice, water, and soil samples but cannot explain a green discoloration on some of the submerged pieces of broken ice. The pellets seem to be an inorganic substance. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Hobana and Weverbergh 61–63 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3500 ### Event 16498 (7868922F) **Date:** 2/5/1961 (approximate) **Location:** PORTLAND, ME AND ENTIRE STATE **Description:** Wave / night lights fireballs and unidentified shapes / 2 days.

A door opens and a man appears, about 5 feet tall and wearing a black, turtle-neck pullover with a white band at the belt, and black trousers with a vertical white band along the side. Two other figures are visible inside. The creature is holding a metallic jug and making gestures suggesting he wants a drink. Simonton takes the jug into his basement, fills it with water, and returns it to the man. Simonton notices one man frying on a flameless grill and motions for some food. Simonton receives four ordinary pancakes or cookies, 3 inches in diameter, perforated with small holes. The object takes off after 5 minutes. Simonton gives one of the pancakes to Judge [Frank](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/21119059/frank-wellington-carter) [Wellington Carter](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/21119059/frank-wellington-carter)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/21119059/frank-wellington-carter) who then passes it on to the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena; another he gives to [J. Allen Hynek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek) for Project Blue Book; and the third he keeps for himself. A thorough analysis is performed on one of the pancakes by the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the food is found to be made of terrestrial but tasteless ingredients, including hydrogenated oil and buckwheat flour. The Air Force concludes that Simonton is honest but has mistakenly conflated the reality of his breakfast with a dream. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 287; Vallée, Magonia, [pp. 23–25](https://archive.org/details/passporttomagoni0000vall/page/22/mode/2up); Clark III 421–426; Loren E.

O.D. Hill admits that we are still losing Air Force planes to UFOs. The first case was an F-86 jet fighter that was sent aloft to investigate an UFO that had been plotted on the Radar scope of an Air Base (name and dates classified). The Radar Operator spied the UFO heading straight for the craft. The operator radioed for the F-86 to climb at once, but it was too late. The two blips merged as one and the UFO was tracked moving away. Classified as “mysterious” not a single shred of the F-86 was ever found. (ref. Kinross AFB where an F-89 with crew of two merged with an UFO and disappeared.-Donald Keyhoe) Second Case: A radar operator was tracking a transport plane carrying 26 persons aboard when, suddenly, another blip appeared on the screen closing at 2500 mph on the transport. Before the operator could warn the transport the two blips emerged as one. The remaining blip sped straight up at tremendous speed. A surface search in the vicinity revealed no oil slicks on the water, although a Generals’ briefcase was found floating around. **Type:** publication **Reference:** Fate Magazine, 5/1961 **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_604 **See also:** 4/1/59 **See also:** 9/29/59 ### Event 16572 (82CB8B5F) **Date:** 5/1961 **Time:** 11:00 **Location:** LURGAN, NORTH IREL **Description:** 3 / isolated park.

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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 519; Marco Bianchini, USOCAT: Italian Center for UFO Studies (CISU), www.cisu.org; Thomas M.

When they arrive, they find about 20 cars stopped along the road and people watching a luminous disc-shaped object maneuvering in the area. The patrolmen try to signal the object by shining a spotlight on it, but they get no response. When they focus a red light on it, the object moves toward the cars at high speed. They take cover. Another responder, Marshal José Otavia Leite, is about to shoot at the object but other police prevent him. After 3 hours, the object gets dimmer. At 5:30 a.m., it is still visible through binoculars when it lands on the ground some distance from the highway. By daybreak it is no longer visible. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, Signet, 1969, pp. 227–228 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3526 ### Event 16624 (951EDEC2) **Date:** 6/9/1961 **Location:** Mississisauga, Ontario **Description:** A second USAF/NASA flight evaluation of the Avrocar is conducted on a modified second prototype at the Avro facility in Mississisauga, Ontario. During these tests, the vehicle reaches a maximum speed of 20 knots and shows the ability to traverse a ditch 6 feet across and 18 inches deep.

His dogs are cowering, the sheep go completely crazy, and the crickets and cicadas become silent. Suddenly, a luminous disc about 15 feet in diameter appears from behind the house, flying from northeast to southwest. It makes an abrupt 90° turn and moves directly toward him, hovering about 400 feet away from him and 80 feet in the air, changing colors from white to orange to red to purple several times. Darnaude runs inside, but the disc turns bright white and shots away at enormous speed. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, “Twelfh Night: And a UFO,” Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, no. 18 \(September 1974\): 11 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3528 ### Event 16627 (4D5B8F5B) **Date:** 6/11/1961 **Description:** Jose Darnaude, age 28, of Villanueva del Rio y Minas, Spain felt a strange prickling sensation all over his body but especially on his head when he next saw a spinning luminous object approach rapidly from the northeast. The disc-shaped UFO dropped down at a 90-degree angle, and stopped to hover at 20-30 meters altitude, 250 meters away. It changed color from white to orange to red to purple to white again. Over a dozen other people witnessed it for several minutes before it rose vertically at great speed and flew towards the southwest. Horses in the area went crazy with fear, sheep broke loose, and dogs cowered in silence. Mr. Darnaude has degrees in law, economics, and business management, and at the time was the manager of his family's agricultural and cattle breeding business, on whose estate the incident occurred. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Vicente Juan Ballester Olmos, A Catalogue of 200 Type I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, pp. 7-8. **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3418 ### Event 16628 (78459F12) **Date:** 6/12/1961 **Description:** A smoke ring was seen in the presence of a UFO at 6:30 p.m. in Waynesville, Ohio. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, July-August 1961, p. 1 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3438 ### Event 16629 (C468C473) **Date:** 6/13/1961 **Time:** 15:40 **Location:** BETHUNGRA, AUS **Description:** 4 / railroad/railway station/depot/facility. 25cm disk just over phone lines.

It designs, builds, launches, and operates the reconnaissance satellites of the federal government, and provides satellite intelligence to several government agencies, particularly signals intelligence \(SIGINT\) to the National Security Agency, imagery intelligence \(IMINT\) to the National Geospace-Intelligence Agency, and measurement and signature intelligence \(MASINT\) to the Defense Intelligence Agency. Its existence remains top secret until September 18, 1992. The move creates a protocol that requires the CIA deputy director and the undersecretary of the Air Force to co-manage all space reconnaissance and aerial espionage programs. The public face of the NRO is the Office of Space Systems. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[National Reconnaissance Office](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%5FReconnaissance%5FOffice)”; Jacobsen, Area 51, [pp. 168–169](https://archive.org/details/area51uncensored0000jaco/page/168/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3547 ### Event 16720 (10700AF7) **Date:** 9/7/1961 **Location:** CAPE CANAVERAL, FL **Description:** UFO moves going up [to] going down / tracking scope during missile launch.

Near Groveton, New Hampshire, Betty sees a bright light moving upward and erratically, growing larger. Later, Barney stops the car at a scenic picnic area south of Twin Mountain. Through binoculars, Betty sees a solid object against the moon that “appeared to be flashing thin pencils of different colored lights.” Barney thinks it’s a plane, though it might be “playing games” with them. Barney drives slowly through Franconia Notch, watching the object. At one point it passes near the Old Man of the Mountain. About one mile south of Indian Head \(north of Lincoln\), the object rapidly descends toward their vehicle, causing Barney to stop in the middle of the highway. The huge, silent craft hovers approximately 80–100 feet above the Hills’ 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air and fills the entire field of view in the windshield. It reminds Barney of a huge pancake. Carrying his pistol in his pocket, he steps away from the vehicle and moves closer to the object. Using the binoculars, Barney claims see about 8–11 humanoid figures who are peering out of the craft’s windows, seeming to look at him. In unison, all but one figure move to what appears to be a panel on the rear wall of the hallway that encircles the front portion of the craft. The one remaining figure continues to look at Barney and communicates a message telling him to “stay where you are and keep looking.” Barney has a recollection of observing the humanoid forms wearing glossy black uniforms and black caps. Red lights on what appears to be bat-wing fins begin to telescope out of the sides of the craft, and a long structure descends from the bottom of the craft. The UFO approaches to within 50–80 feet overhead and 300 feet away from him. Barney tears the binoculars away from his eyes and runs back to his car. In a near hysterical state, he tells Betty, “They’re going to capture us!” He sees the object again shift its location to directly above the vehicle. He drives away at high speed, telling Betty to look for the object. She rolls down the window and looks up. Almost immediately, the Hills hear a rhythmic series of beeping or buzzing sounds which seem to bounce off the trunk of their vehicle. The car vibrates and a tingling sensation passes through them. At this point in time they experience the onset of an altered state of consciousness that leaves their minds dulled. A second series of beeping sounds return them to full consciousness. They find that they have traveled nearly 35 miles south, but have only vague, spotty memories of this section of road. They recall making a sudden, unplanned turn, encountering a roadblock, and observing a fiery orb in the road. At 5:00 a.m., they arrive home, about two hours later than expected. Barney feels compelled to examine his genitals, and they both take long showers. Betty notices a pinkish powder and a tear in her dress. There are shiny, concentric circles on their car’s trunk that were not there the previous day. Betty and Barney experiment with a compass, noting that when they move it close to the spots, the needle whirls rapidly. But when they move it a few inches away from the shiny spots, it drops down. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Betty and Barney Hill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney%5Fand%5FBetty%5FHill)”; NICAP, “[The Betty and Barney Hill Case](http://www.nicap.org/610919indianhead%5Fdir.htm)”; Clark III 577–581; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf), p. 289; John G.

When they reached Colebrook they noticed a bright lighted object in the sky that seemed to be pacing their car, and they continued to observe it as the drove along a desolate section of U.S. Route 3 through the White Mountains. Around Indian Head, New Hamsphire they stopped by the side of the road to take a closer look, and saw through binoculars a lenticular object with a double row of portholes and half a dozen dark figures working at control panels inside. One of the occupants seemed to stare directly at them. They became frightened and drove away. A "beeping sound" enveloped their car, and they felt a prickling sensation before losing consciousness.

When they came to, they were driving near Ashland, New Hampshire. They arrived home in Portsmouth unable to account for about two hours. A series of nightmares and then a series of hypnosis sessions performed by a psychiatrist in Boston brought back memories of their abduction experience by the occupants of the UFO. They encountered six five-foot-tall entities with large eyes and heads. One acted as their guide or interpreter, and he communicated with them by telepathy. They were separated, stripped for a medical exam during which a needle was inserted in Betty Hill's navel and Barney's dentures were removed and examined. There was also a map of the stars seen at one point, and Betty asked to take an artifact as evidence of their experience, but was refused. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John Fuller, The Interrupted Journey, New York: Dial, 1966; Thomas M.

[Waldo J. Harris](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6996311/waldo-james-harris)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6996311/waldo-james-harris) private pilot and real-estate broker, is getting ready to take off in a Mooney M20A from Utah Central Airport \[now closed\] in Granger, Utah, when he sees a bright spot in the sky. After he takes off, he notices that the light is still in the same location. He flies toward the object to get a better look, and sees that the UFO has no wings or tail and is hovering with a slight rocking motion. He later estimates the diameter at 35–50 feet, with a thickness of about 4 feet, and the appearance of sand-blasted aluminum. Harris estimates he has approached within 2 miles of the object before it rises abruptly and zooms away for 10 miles before it resumes a rocking hover. He approaches again, but it departs in about 2–3 seconds. Several other people, including airport controller [Jay Galbraith](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/125516/jay-webster-galbraith)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/125516/jay-webster-galbraith) also see the UFO from the airport. Investigators from Hill AFB near Ogden arrive quickly. Airport attendant Russell M. Woods tells them he thinks the object was at 2,500 feet altitude. On October 9, [Douglas M. Crouch](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/171937609/douglas-merle-crouch) forwards the Hill AFB official report, including transcripts of interviews, to Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio, saying “No unusual meteorological or astronomical conditions were present to account for the sighting.” Nonetheless, Blue Book wanders from Venus to a research balloon to a sundog \(an assessment [James E.

She summons a neighbor, Jack Ray, and they both watch through binoculars, but they can’t make out what it is. At dusk, the Lake County Sheriff responds to their call, but he can’t see much due to swells on the lake surface. He calls the Air Force and Coast Guard to make sure it’s not part of a training exercise. Shortly afterward, Riley sees the object rise into the air and travel southeast at about the speed of a car. A Coast Guard search the next day turns up only a floating log. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Flying Log?](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201961%2011%2000%20-%20November.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, November 1961, p. 3 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3563 ### Event 16812 (5691763D) **Date:** 10/14/1961 **Location:** Sunset, Utah **Description:** 5:30 p.m. Mayor Michael Burson and his wife watch two pairs of UFOs move to the east above Sunset, Utah.

The strange, seemingly metallic substance, came off the UFO in thin fibers and settled to earth, draping itself like a finely-knit shroud over Goff's fields, trees, machinery, and power lines. The farm is located near Chadron, Nebraska.

"It was about three o'clock," Goff related, "and I had been working in my shed. I came outside and happened to look up and see this strange ball flying through the air. It was kind of rough and seemed to be rolling as it sped through the air. It was going faster than any airplane I ever saw and it just disappeared from sight when it got out of the sunlight. It made absolutely no noise."

"Big chunks of it broke off and these fibers began settling down on everything. The ball was about as big around as a tractor tire, four feet in diameter or so and it came out of the southwest going northeast. At first I thought it was an airplane but when I really looked, I just didn't know what to think. It's hard to say how high up it was, maybe a thousand feet or more. The fibers cannot be seen with the naked eye except when they are in direct sunlight. Then, and only then, can you see them glistening ghostlike in the sun. They can be felt on the skin like spider webs, but they are much smaller in diameter than a spider web. A human hair seems like a rope compared to the fibers."

"I didn't really notice the fibers much that day, but the next morning my fields and trees just glowed with the stuff when the sun hit them. You can pick one up, but you can't really tell if you have one unless the sun hits it just right. It's the strangest stuff I ever saw." Attempts to break the weird strings were to no avail. They seemingly could not be broken apart, but, when a hot cigarette was applied to one of the strings, it did break. The string did not, however, burst into flame or seem to burn. "They're so fine you just can't tell when you've got one," Goff said. "You can feel it, but you can't see it." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bob Gribble, Looking Back November 1961, National UFO Reporting Center website **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7730 ### Event 16865 (BA41E5CE) **Date:** 11/21/1961 **Time:** 19:30 **Location:** OLDTOWN, FL **Description:** Project Bluebook Case #7741.

A group of four friends are hunting on a Sunday in the area of Harvey, North Dakota. As they are returning in the car, the two men in the front seat notice a descending glowing object in the sky ahead of them. Assuming they are witnessing a plane crash, they rush to the scene of its landing, where they find at 150 yards distance, a “silo-appearing craft which was sticking in the ground with this glow around it.” The men shine a hand spotlight and shine it on the object, whereupon they see four human-looking individuals standing around it. At this point they seem to hear an explosion and “everything went out.” The principal witness wakes up from dozing in the back seat as the car is negotiating soggy ground looking for the craft and crew. They return to the spot where the landing takes place, and they see the figures again, wearing white coveralls and standing 5 feet high. They get out of the car and one figure waves them away. Eventually, the men agree to return to a small town, possibly Martin, North Dakota, 11 miles away, where they find a police officer, who listens to the story and agrees to accompany them back to the site. They see red lights moving in the field and both cars go in pursuit of them. The lights go out, the police officer drives away, and the four men resume driving home. Two miles down the highway, the silo-like object reappears, landing gently 150 yards away with two of the figures watching them. Two of the men get out of the car again and shine the spotlight on the craft. One of the men is carrying a rifle; he drops on the ground and shoots, apparently hitting one of the figures in the right shoulder. The figure spins around, goes down on his knees, gets help from the other figure, then yells, “Now what the hell did you do that for?” Weirdly, as soon as the men return to the car, the two who have remained inside insist the rifle had not been removed and no shot was fired. The primary witness \(who remains in the car\) has no recollection of what happened to the craft and figures. By the time they get home, dawn is breaking, and their wives are waiting for them. They all know it has taken longer than it should have to return. A few hours later, around 12:00 noon, the principal witness is at work when three well-groomed, official-looking men visit him. He presumes they are Air Force intelligence officers who say they have a “report” about the previous night’s event. They ask him what clothes he was wearing and what the object looked like, but they never ask about the shooting. Later, they show up at his house and ask to see his hunting gear and boots. They tell him not to say anything more about the incident. In January 1968, US Border Patrol agent \[later BATF agent\] Donald E. Flickinger manages to interview the primary witness, who works as a supervisor at Minot AFB hospital, and two of the others, one a small-town high school superintendent and the other an active-duty Air Force sergeant. They all are “extremely reliable and responsible,” Flickinger says. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** J.

As he walks toward it, he sees it is a huge disc resting on the sand. He feels compelled to approach it and sees two helmeted figures come from behind the object. They seem to be telling him telepathically not to resist. Mendes finds he is completely unable to move. He feels one of them scratching his forearm with an instrument, then he blacks out. When he wakes up, he is nearly back to his beach house and it is 11:30 p.m. After a few weeks he feels anxious and sad for no apparent reason. He refuses to be hypnotized. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, Flying Saucer Occupants, Signet, 1967, [pp. 199–200](https://archive.org/details/flyingsauceroccu00lore/page/202/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3575 ### Event 16880 (B6A261D8) **Date:** 11/25/1961 **Description:** IBM engineers C.

The operation is led by USAF Gen. [Edward Lansdale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FLansdale) and goes into effect after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. A document from the Department of State confirms that the project aims to “help Cuba overthrow the Communist regime,” including Castro, and it aims “for a revolt which can take place in Cuba by October 1962.” One of Lansdale’s ideas is to project a huge image of the Second Coming of Christ above the island, spread the word that Castro is the anti-Christ, shoot starburst shells from a submarine into the air, and hope far an uprising. US policymakers want to see “a new government with which the United States can live in peace.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Operation Mongoose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation%5FMongoose)”; Kremlin 131– 133 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3579 ### Event 16885 (D49F8E1A) **Date:** 12/1961 **Location:** US **Description:** Project 1794, a secret program to build a flying saucer-type aircraft designed to shoot down Soviet bombers, was cancelled in December 1961 after tests suggested the flying saucer-like design was aerodynamically unstable and would likely be uncontrollable at high speeds (let alone supersonic speeds). **Type:** secret project **Type:** declassified documents **Reference:** [Mike Colangelo](https://twitter.com/MikeColangelo/status/1620153118540578816) **Reference:** [livescience.com: Flying saucers to mind control: 24 declassified military & CIA secrets](https://www.livescience.com/declassified-military-secrets) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_817 **See also:** Late 2012 ### Event 16886 (2AE9EF8B) **Date:** 12/1961 **Description:** Funding runs out for the Avrocar and it and related WS-606A supersonic VTOL programs are officially cancelled by the US military. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro%5FCanada%5FVZ-9%5FAvrocar)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3580 ### Event 16887 (67C069C0) **Date:** 12/3/1961 **Time:** 23:04:59.6 **Location:** 37.0459 -116.0277 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

An Air Force pilot is flying a brand new B-52 with a full crew out of Wichita, Kansas, headed for an air base in the southwest. He notices a bright flash of sunlight in his left side and turns to see a metallic object “like polished chrome.” It is pacing the aircraft near its left wingtip. The object is 4–8 feet in diameter and has no seams or markings. His First Officer is watching an identical object off the right wing, and the crewman in the tail reports that there is a round shiny metal ball following close behind the B-52. The top and bottom gunners also see spheres above and below the plane. The pilot goes into an evasive maneuver, but after 10–15 minutes the objects are maintaining their positions. He returns to his previous assigned altitude and heading. After a few minutes, the five objects leave, one at a time, first the bottom one, then the top, then the tail. The two objects on the wings shoot away at the same time and climb out of sight parallel to each other. After landing, the crew is told not to talk about the sighting at all. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Richard F.

One purpose of the machine is to search text for keywords from a watchlist. From a single foreign cipher system, Harvest is able to scan more than 7 million decrypts for any occurrences of some 7,000 key words in under four hours. The computer is also used for codebreaking, and this is enhanced by a system codenamed Rye, which allows remote access to Harvest. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[IBM 7950 Harvest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%5F7950%5FHarvest)”; “[Timeline of](http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/IBM/Stretch/102636400.txt) [the IBM Stretch/Harvest Era \(1956–1961\),](http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/IBM/Stretch/102636400.txt)” computerhistory.org **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3589 ### Event 16914 (587E5A91) **Date:** 1/8/1962 **Time:** night **Location:** Catamarca, Argentina **Description:** A truck driver and two other men observed two powerful lights lost sight of thern, but later saw a craft on the ground 150 m to the side of the road.

They stopped the car to call Dauphin Island AFS radar site (693rd Radar Squadron), which by coincidence happened to have two airmen driving north on the causeway in the opposite direction, and who also saw the object to the west. It was therefore possible to triangulate the object's location at about 30°16' N, 88° 10' W, and between 2-5 miles away from the civilian observers; the object's actual size was computed to be at least 30 feet in length. No radar contact was reported. Venus had set 30 minutes earlier. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Robert D.

Its aim is to cause the Soviet Union to waste time and effort in preparing defenses against fictitious aircraft and weapons that the US might be developing. Furthermore, UFOs can be used to capture headlines, diverting attention from unwelcome news coverage of espionage operations. Davidson writes that Dulles has resorted to using contactees and UFO organizations as a propaganda vehicle. Messages supposedly from spacemen calling for a halt in nuclear testing could influence public opinion in a test ban treaty that, in effect, would benefit the US more than the Russians, since the Soviets were seen as overtaking the American lead in weapons development. Davidson attributes CIA involvement in the claims of [George Adamski](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FAdamski) and [Daniel Fry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel%5FFry). He also points out that electronic countermeasures \(ECM\) equipment is capable of creating fake radar returns and goes so far as to say that secret working models of saucers, perhaps piloted by “midgets,” are responsible for some sightings. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Leon Davidson, “An Open Letter to Saucer Researchers,” Saucer News, March 1962, April 1962; Leon Davidson, “[ECM + CIA =](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1960%2CMar-Apr%2CV%206%2CN%202.pdf) [UFO: Or, How to Cause Radar Sightings,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1960%2CMar-Apr%2CV%206%2CN%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 6, no. 2 \(March/April 1960\): 9–12; Gerald K.

A red, glowing object is first seen at a great height over Oneida, New York, heading west silently. There are reports from Kansas and Colorado. NORAD radar picks up the object; ADC alerts several bases, including Nellis AFB near Las Vegas, Nevada. Fighters are scrambled from Luke AFB near Phoenix, Arizona, and the jets are possibly heard over Nephi, Utah, after the object passes overhead. Capt. Herman Gordon Shields, flying a C-119 two miles west of Levan, Utah, sees it as a slender object. A man in Silver City, Utah, claims that the object is a glowing ball of light about the size of a soccer ball. He says it is white with a yellowish tint and a bright yellow jagged flame coming from the rear: “As the object passed over Robinson \[in Ogden, Utah?\], it slowed down in \[the\] air, and after, \[a\] gasping sound was heard, the object spurted ahead again. After this procedure was repeated three or four times, the object arched over and began descending to earth after which the object turned bluish color and then burned out or went dark. After the object began to slow down it began to wobble or fishtail in its path.” Several people see the object over Eureka, Utah, apparently crashing and interrupting electrical service from a power plant close to the landing site. It is described as a “glowing, orange oval which emitted a low, whirring sound.” It takes off a few minutes later, continuing to the west. The object lights up the streets of Reno, Nevada, and then turns to Las Vegas. It blares brightly like a “tremendous, flaming sword” over Nellis AFB and then disappears from their radar scopes at 10,000 feet. Witnesses say the object is traveling almost horizontally northeast of Las Vegas until a final explosion occurs from the direction of Mesquite, Nevada. Sheriff’s deputy Walter Bun, who leads the search and rescue unit, moves the unit into the Spring Mountain area in jeeps to search for wreckage. They search through the night, and when the sun comes up they continue using aircraft. They do not find anything of importance except some ashes that might easily be the remains of a campfire started by a hunter some weeks earlier. When no one reports a downed or missing aircraft, Bun and the other deputies call off the search. The object seems to have changed direction, because at Reno it passes west to east, in Utah it is seem going southeast to northwest, and at Nephi it travels west. The duration of the sighting, from New York to Nevada, is only 32 minutes, giving a speed of 4,500 mph, below the speed of meteors. On May 8, the Air Force sends [Hynek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek) and Lt. Col. [Robert Friend](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FFriend%5F%28pilot%29) to Utah with [Douglas M. Crouch](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/171937609/douglas-merle-crouch)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/171937609/douglas-merle-crouch) chief of criminal investigation at Hill AFB, south of Ogden, Utah. They determine it is a bolide. Blue Book lists it as two sightings: a multiple radar sighting at Nellis on April 18 with no visual \(despite hundreds of observers in Las Vegas\), and a bolide over Utah that it claims occurs on April 19. In reality, the Utah and Nevada sightings are only minutes apart \(8:15 p.m. Mountain Time\). However, there is quite a bit of information from numerous sources concerning this major incident, including Project Blue Book documents, and now possible [confirmation](http://nicap.org/papers/transcript%5Fradarman.htm) by a radar man at ATIC. The case is also not explained in a Blue Book monthly sighting listing for April 1962. It is interesting that every one of these states except Utah has or was in the process of obtaining ICBM bases: New York \(Plattsburg AFB\); Kansas, \(Forbes AFB and McConnell AFB\); Utah \(Minuteman production at Air Force Plant 77 at Hill AFB\); Idaho \(Mountain Home AFB\); Montana \(Malmstrom AFB\); New Mexico \(Walker AFB\); Wyoming \(F.

The objects realign horizontally and move toward the car. The driver starts the car up and speeds away, but the lights are right behind her, only a few feet from the rear window and matching the car’s speed. The yellow lights are only a few feet in diameter and have a reddish patch that rotates. They follow the car for four minutes then turn away. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Swords 299–300 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3612 ### Event 17029 (1F9AA770) **Date:** 4/26/1962 **Description:** [Schalk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis%5FSchalk) makes another unofficial low-altitude, 40-minute test flight with the A-12.

It brightens and dims alternately. As they slow down, a row of 20–30 lights come on. When they approach to within 210 feet of the object, it rises up and crosses the road at a height of 12 feet. Its lights go out, a reddish flame comes from the bottom, and it makes a soft humming noise. The UFO then divides into two parts that fly off in different directions. Navy Capt. Luis Sanchez Moreno, chief of intelligence at the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base, interviews the witnesses. At the landing site, grass is burned over an area 180 feet in diameter, and there are damp, gray-colored patches.

Tomasini and H. Zenobi, while driving on Route 35 at Kilometer 72 near La Pampa, La Pampa province, Argentina saw a rectangular object shaped like an illuminated railroad boxcar. As they came close to it, the object took off, crossed the road at low altitude, rose with a flame, and separated into two sections that flew away in different directions. It made a humming sound and was seen on the ground for one minute. The grass on the ground was burnt in a 60m radius circle at the landing site, insects were carbonized, and the ground was "petrified." Sample analysis was done by the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base. At 4:30 p.m. another close encounter occurred northwest of Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires province, Argentina that involved several witnesses and reportedly had lasting physiological effects. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** La Nacion, May 24, 1962 Oscar A.

The globes move toward the witnesses, who get scared and jump in their car and speed away. The globes follow the car, one in the rear and the others on each side. The objects appear to be transparent, 3-foot spheres that easily pace the speeding vehicle. Occasionally they leave their positions and form into a triangle with squarish bridges between them, then split up and continue the car chase. The car radio is filled with static. Finally, they veer off and fly into the woods. \(NICAP case file; Swords 300\) Summer — Donald MacKenzie, a shepherd, discovers some strange wreckage in a remote moor near Ardgay, Sutherland, Scotland, that he thinks is related to Sputnik. In October, a team from RAF Kinloss \[now Kinloss Barracks\] on the Moray Firth arrives to investigate. They find a strange box-shaped object, large enough to have carried a person and containing spaces for cameras and a brass panel that explains, in pictures, what the finder should do in the event of discovery to claim a reward. Buried nearby are a number of bottles of colorless fluid. The team is mystified and suspects something Russian but can’t confirm it. The debris now seems likely to have come from a secret spy balloon, one of many launched in 1955–1956 by the US Air Force from RAF Evanton \[now closed\], to take reconnaissance photos of Russian military and nuclear facilities. Once clear of Soviet territory, the balloons were designed to drop into the Pacific Ocean where its VHF beacon would guide recovery efforts. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** David Clarke, “[The Scottish Roswell?](https://drdavidclarke.co.uk/2012/07/29/the-scottish-roswell/)” Dr. David Clarke: Folklore and Journalism, July 29, 2012 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3622 ### Event 17138 (DBC0210B) **Date:** 6/21/1962 **Description:** At 4:00 a.m. Lt.

About 9:00 p.m. John notices a bright star in the west that moves occasionally, dips, and hovers. Around 11:45, they notice that the star is brighter and has moved closer, taking the shape of a triangle. At 12:15, the object noiselessly emits three green flares that take on a speedy horizontal flight path. They notice a second, ball-shaped object that races from west to east, flips, and stops at a higher elevation than the first. A “flare-like” light approaches the second and seems to be absorbed by it. The first UFO spits out more green flares, two of which disappear into the second object a few minutes later. The second object shoots out a rocket that disappears in the sky. A third whitish object, larger and disc-shaped, appears above Pontano Wash with a cone-shaped superstructure. Three stiltlike protuberances appear briefly then are drawn back in. The third object also drops something like a rope that extends to the ground for 3–5 minutes.

The truck’s lights go out, and the object rocks back and forth, taking off to the north at a great rate of speed. Five minutes later, they drive up to the stopped truck, whose driver is scooping up dirt to cool its overheated engine down. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, Signet, 1969, pp. 157–158 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3632 ### Event 17208 (98609F12) **Date:** 8/1962 **Location:** Movil Lake, Minnesota **Description:** Night.

They first believed it was a foreign submarine. About a dozen "frogmen" emerged from the water and climbed aboard. The fishermen called out but the figures ignored them, except the last three, who turned to look at the fishermen. The very last one waved. Then the craft rose out of water, and suspended itself effortlessly above the waves, as red and green lights came on and a white light beam like a searchlight played toward the witnesses. The beam was extinguished, the red and green lights went out, and the object, now glowing an orange color and clearly oval in shape, rose a further 20 meters into the air and began to rotate, its light becoming more intensely red. At last, it moved silently in a graceful arc above the fishermen, and disappeared rapidly into the night sky. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lumieres dans la Nuit, January 1971; FSR Case Histories, April 1973, p. 14; David F.

Walking home, diamond prospector Rivalino Mafra da Silva sees two small beings, about three feet tall, digging a hole near Duas Pontes, 17 miles north of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. On August 19, Mafra da Silva and his sons are in bed when they are awakened by sounds and see a shadowy figure, apparently floating in the room. In the morning, he and his son Raimundo see two humming balls floating outside. They merge into one larger ball that moves toward Rivalino, enveloping him in yellow smoke. Raimundo says: “Then the yellow smoke dissolved. The balls were gone. The ground below was clean as if the dust had been removed by a big broom.” He tells his story to Lt. Wilson Lisbõa, chief of police at Diamantina, who conducts a search for 10 days. Only a few drops of blood are found. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[The Brazilian Abduction: Boy’s Story Unshaken,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1962%2CNov-Dec%2CV%208%2CN%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 8, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1962\): 10–12; Clark III 418–419; Brazil 123–127; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1962-08-17-20-brazil-duaspontes.htm) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3636 ### Event 17235 (CD560810) **Date:** 8/17/1962 **Description:** On this evening two little men, three feet tall, were seen digging a hole near Sr. Mafra Da Silva's house in Duas Pontes, Minas Gerais State, Brazil.

It is a domed disc with flashing reddish-pink, green, and white lights around its perimeter. The object illuminates a truck ahead of them. The truck stops, and the two witnesses get out of their car and hide in some bushes to see what happens next. The object appears to be nearly 100 feet wide and 150 feet above the truck. The truck’s lights go out and the object takes off to the north at a high rate of speed, climbing out of sight within seconds. They drive up to the truck, whose drivers are throwing dirt into its smoking engine compartment and are more concerned about an insurance claim than a UFO encounter. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, Signet, 1968, pp. 12–13 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3638 ### Event 17260 (84A72614) **Date:** 8/26/1962 **Location:** Escola de Sargentos das Armas in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil **Description:** 12:05 a.m. Geraldo Bichara, 18, is standing guard at the Escola de Sargentos das Armas in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil, when an electrical blackout occurs in the city. Suddenly he is paralyzed by a light beam from an unseen object, apparently for a few minutes. In 1980, Bichara undergoes hypnosis and discovers that the incident was an abduction in which he is taken aboard a UFO by beings wearing pumpkin-colored jumpsuits and subjected to a medical examination. He attempts to flee at one point and grabs his rifle lying nearby, but he is still paralyzed. After about 2 hours he is returned to the guardhouse. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Brazil 60–66; “[Caso Giraldo Bichara,](https://ufologiagja.blogspot.com/2014/05/caso-geraldo-bichara.html)” Grupo de Amigos que Estudam Mistérios e Ufologia, May 2014 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3639 ### Event 17261 (AD0EE287) **Date:** 8/26/1962 **Location:** Philadelphia, Pennsylvania **Description:** 12:30 a.m. Walter T.

The engineer has a portable theodolite with him, and they set it up and track the object. It is a silvery-gray disc, like two rounded hubcaps together, and is spinning on its axis. It has an antenna on the top and exhaust ports all around its mid-line, and it is surrounded by gaseous emissions that run through all the colors of the spectrum. The object flips to a vertical alignment, showing its base, and then tips over so that its original topside is on the bottom. The object silently accelerates and disappears in 5 seconds. Project Blue Book concludes that the men were watching the planet Venus. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Loren E.

Leeming, an engineer, stopped by a lake for a picnic while on a business trip around noon. He noticed a metallic UFO with windows hidden behind some trees, sitting on three telescopic legs and shaped like a top. It was 30 feet in diameter. He saw that it had a ladder and an open doorway, so he climbed the ladder and went inside. The interior had a control panel but no occupants, but when he turned around he was surprised to see that two human looking individuals, about 5.7 feet tall, wearing white suits with helmets, had returned. They looked surprised to see him and not sure what to do. He asked them, in French, why if they were obviously spacemen they looked like us. One of them replied, speaking in French, saying that the reason was we had a common ancestor. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Flying Saucers, June 1976, p. 19; David F.

It would make a one-way trip, eject its camera payload at the end of the mission for recovery, then self-destruct. It has a double-delta wing similar to the A-12’s wing design. The Q-12 is to be air-launched from the back of an A- 12 and uses key technology from the A-12 project, including titanium construction and radar cross-section reduction design features. Johnson wants to power the Q-12 with a ramjet engine modified to operate at high temperatures for at least 90 minutes at high altitude. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Lockheed D-21](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed%5FD-21)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3652 ### Event 17348 (4BFC4FF6) **Date:** 10/2/1962 **Location:** 17.0000 -169.0000 **Description:** Nuclear test: Air, confirmed.

Kennedy rejects an attack, favoring a quarantine to buy time to negotiate a missile withdrawal. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Cuban Missile Crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban%5FMissile%5FCrisis\#Responses%5Fconsidered)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3659 ### Event 17374 (58035303) **Date:** 10/17/1962 **Location:** Cuba **Description:** A U-2 takes the first photo of an IRBM site under construction in Cuba. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[The Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962:](https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/nsa/cuba%5Fmis%5Fcri/photos.htm) [The Photographs,](https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/nsa/cuba%5Fmis%5Fcri/photos.htm)” National Security Archive **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3660 ### Event 17375 (1DF0C6E2) **Date:** 10/18/1962 **Location:** PACIFIC 173° 12W-37° 12N **Description:** Project Bluebook Case #unknown.

They are on final approach to landing when a huge, metallic-gray, cigar-shaped UFO descends over the flight line and hovers for a few minutes. It stretches halfway across the aircraft ramp area, which would make it half a mile wide. Jet engine mechanic Sgt. Christopher Smith is watching the scenario from the ground and notes that the UFO is silent and has no lights or visible openings. After the second B-52 lands, the UFO silently zooms away toward the east and disappears. All the ground witnesses and the flight crews do not talk about the incident afterward and act as if nothing happened. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nukes 132–136, 138–139 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3668 ### Event 17395 (D6DC087D) **Date:** 10/26/1962 **Time:** 07:20 **Location:** MASON RESERVOIR, CO **Description:** Large black parachute weaves back and forth over mountains and reservoir. / r111p213. **Type:** sighting **Reference:** The APRO BULLETIN: Monthly.

JFK responds by offering to promise not to attack Cuba after the Russians withdraw. In the evening, [Robert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FF.%5FKennedy) [Kennedy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FF.%5FKennedy) tells Soviet ambassador [Dobrynin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly%5FDobrynin), “You have drawn first blood.        The president had decided against advice        not to respond militarily to that attack, but he \[Dobrynin\] should know that if another plane was shot at ... we would take out all the SAMs and antiaircraft        And that would almost surely be followed by an invasion.” However, he also says that the US already plans to remove its missiles from Turkey but cannot say so publicly. This is the moment when both nations step back from the brink of war. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Cuban Missile Crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban%5FMissile%5FCrisis\#Crisis%5Fcontinues)”; Nikita Khrushchev, [Letter to President John F.

It has three legs, round windows, and the boy remarks that he can see people in it. One of the “men” gets out and descends to the ground. He appears to be doing something to one of the landing legs. He seems to have some trouble in making it retract, which finally he overcomes. He is about 6 feet tall, as his head reaches the outer fringe of the craft. He wears a helmet like a gas mask. He returns to the UFO, which begins to move slowly away, then very fast, and disappears in a northerly direction. Total time of observation is 40 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Keith Basterfield, “[‘This Is One of the Most](https://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2014/09/this-is-one-of-most-remarkable-cases-of.html) [Remarkable Cases of a Flying Saucer…,’ Adelaide, 1962,](https://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2014/09/this-is-one-of-most-remarkable-cases-of.html)” Unidentified Aerial Phenomena—Scientific Research, September 22, 2014 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3671 ### Event 17412 (7AA32109) **Date:** 10/28/1962 **Description:** Mrs. E.

Using [Frank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank%5FDrake) [D. Drake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank%5FDrake)’s equation to suggest that 0.001% of stars in the sky have a planet on them on which an advanced civilization resides, Sagan suggests the nearest such advanced civilization is several hundred light years away from earth.

He comes up with the idea that some galactic civilizations could be perhaps millions or billions of years ahead of us, and creates the Kardashev scale to rank such civilizations. Kardashev defines three levels of civilizations, based on energy consumption: Type I \(planetary civilization\) with “technological level close to the level presently attained on earth”; Type II \(stellar civilization\), “a civilization capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star”; and Type III \(galactic civilization\), “a civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy.” Various extensions of the Kardashev scale have since been proposed, including the use of metrics rather than pure power. The idea that the CTA-102 emission is caused by a civilization is later rejected when it is identified as one of the many varieties of quasar \(quasi-stellar radio source\), a term coined by [Hong-Yee Chiu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong-Yee%5FChiu) in May 1964 to describe these objects. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Kardashev scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev%5Fscale)”; Wikipedia, “[CTA-102](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTA-102)”; Nikolai Kardashev, “[Transmission of Information by Extraterrestrial Civilizations,](https://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1964SvA.....8..217K)” Soviet Astronomy 8 \(1964\): 217; Frank Edwards, FS Serious Business, Bantam ed., 1966, [pp. 84–85](https://archive.org/details/flyingsaucersser00edwa/page/84/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3687 ### Event 17518 (D758A507) **Date:** 1963 **Description:** Astronomer [Donald H.

Adamski says his meeting is at the request of the extraterrestrials he is in contact with in order to ask for a “final agreement” from the pope because of his decision not to communicate directly with them anymore and to offer John XXIII a liquid substance in order to save him from the gastric enteritis that he suffers from. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lou Zinsstag and Timothy Good, George Adamski: The Untold Story, Ceti, 1983; Colin Bennett, Looking for Orthon, Paraview, 2001; “[Vatican Visit,](https://www.the-adamski-case.nl/his-mission/vatican-visit/)” The Adamski Case, October 7, 2019; Marc Hallet, [A Critical Appraisal of George Adamski: The](https://archive.org/details/ACriticalAppraisalOfGeorgeAdamskiTheManWhoSpokeToTheSpaceBrothersREVISEDANDENLARGEDEDITION2016/page/n1/mode/2up) [Man Who Spoke to the Space Brothers](https://archive.org/details/ACriticalAppraisalOfGeorgeAdamskiTheManWhoSpokeToTheSpaceBrothersREVISEDANDENLARGEDEDITION2016/page/n1/mode/2up)[,](https://archive.org/details/ACriticalAppraisalOfGeorgeAdamskiTheManWhoSpokeToTheSpaceBrothersREVISEDANDENLARGEDEDITION2016/page/n1/mode/2up) The Author, 2016 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3702 ### Event 17671 (6B15A38B) **Date:** 6/4/1963 **Time:** 03:10 **Location:** LYLE, MN **Description:** Multicolor object going down [to] near town.

[Donald Ewen Cameron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald%5FEwen%5FCameron) regularly travels around the US teaching military personnel about his techniques \(hooding of prisoners for sensory deprivation, prolonged isolation, humiliation, etc.\), and how they can be used in interrogations. Latin American paramilitary groups working for the CIA and US military personnel receive training in these psychological techniques at places such as the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia. \(In the 21st century, many of these torture techniques are used at US military and CIA prisons such as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Abu Ghraib, Iraq.\) In the aftermath of the 1975 congressional hearings, major news media mainly focus on sensational stories related to LSD, mind-control, and brainwashing, and rarely use the word “torture.” This suggests that the CIA researchers are, as one author put it, “a bunch of bumbling sci-fi buffoons” rather than a rational group of men who have run torture laboratories and medical experiments in major US universities; they have arranged for torture, rape, and psychological abuse of adults and young children, driving many of them permanently insane. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Central Intelligence Agency, “[KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation](https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB122/CIA%20Kubark%201-60.pdf),” July 1963; Wikipedia, “[Unethical human](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical%5Fhuman%5Fexperimentation%5Fin%5Fthe%5FUnited%5FStates\#Concerns) [experimentation in the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical%5Fhuman%5Fexperimentation%5Fin%5Fthe%5FUnited%5FStates\#Concerns)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3708 ### Event 17716 (577842B8) **Date:** 7/1/1963 **Time:** 20:00 **Location:** GLEN ELLYN, IL **Description:** Project Bluebook Case #8434. 1 observer / theodolite.

It seems to be keeping pace with them for several miles. Suddenly it moves about 600 feet in front of them and to the left. When Austin drops Phyllis off at home in Wayne City, it is hanging in the southeast. They continue watching it about 15 minutes, then Austin leaves for home. As he turns east on a gravel road, it shoots ahead of him, taking on an orange hue. At one point it comes within 100 feet of his car, swerves upward, and passes above him as the car radio makes a whining noise and the car engine almost fails. The object then moves behind him from west to east. When he arrives home, it is hovering about 900 feet to the southeast. Ronnie is so shaken, he is given a sedative. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orville Austin, and brother and sister also see the light, which finally becomes indistinguishable with a star by 1:10 a.m. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[The Wayne City Car Chase \(EM RA Traces\)](http://www.nicap.org/630804waynecity%5Fdir.htm)”; Jeffrey Liss, “The Light That Followed a Car,” Fate 16, no. 11 \(November 1963\): 26–35; [Schopick](http://cufos.org/books/A%5FStudy%5Fof%5FSecondary%5FEffects-An%5FUnpublished%5FManuscript%5Fof%5FUFO%5FE-M%5FCases.pdf), pp. 81–88 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3713 ### Event 17760 (E87D72DB) **Date:** 8/4/1963 **Description:** Ronnie Austin and Phyllis Bruce, age 18, were driving to Phyllis Bruce's home in Wayne City, Illiniois when they had a close encounter with a humming, yellowish orange ball of light on Highway 15 at 11:30 p.m. It paced the car to the woman's house, crossing and recrossing the highway, and then hovered over a nearby barn when they parked the car.While the UFO was hovering it changed its color to a dull orange.

Suddenly, Fernando notices a glow coming from the top of an avocado tree. When he looks up, he sees a UFO hovering above the tree’s branches. The craft, which is spherical and has a pair of antennas on top, is completely transparent. It holds four human-like passengers sitting inside, one of whom sits in front of a machine that appears to be a control panel. The passengers are about 6 feet tall and dressed in spacesuits. They all have only one eye like a cyclops. Three of them are thin and bald, while the other looks like an overweight woman with blonde hair. The UFO shoots out two rays of yellow light. One of the cyclops appears between the lights, slowly floating down onto the ground. Once his boots touched the earth, the creature begins to walk toward José, who is completely unaware of what is happening since he is still collecting water. Fernando panics and tackles José, who falls to the ground, and Fernando gets back up and faces the cyclops. Now all three boys are aware of the visitor. The cyclops moves his head and makes hand signals. It speaks a few sounds in a strange language. The creature then turns around and stares back at the UFO. Fernando, spotting a brick on the ground, picks it up and aims it at the cyclops, who turns around and shoots Fernando’s hand with a yellow light from a triangular crest on his chest. Fernando drops the brick, and all three of the boys become calm and frozen. For a few more minutes, the cyclops speaks to them, then it points one of his fingers at the moon and begins to walk back toward the UFO. José asks if he will ever come back. The cyclops shakes his head affirmatively, plucks a plant from the ground, and then waves his hand at the UFO, which shoots out two rays of yellow light again. The cyclops slowly floats back up into the vehicle, and the UFO takes off eastward and disappears out of their sight. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Brazil 66–72; Tristan, “[The](https://bizarreandgrotesque.com/2016/03/24/the-alien-cyclops-of-sagrada-familia/) [Alien Cyclops of Sagrada Familia,](https://bizarreandgrotesque.com/2016/03/24/the-alien-cyclops-of-sagrada-familia/)” Bizarre and Grotesque, March 24, 2016 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3720 ### Event 17819 (B39D00E4) **Date:** 8/28/1963 **Description:** Two KC-135s mysteriously vanished 800 miles northeast of Miami in the Atlantic Ocean. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ivan Sanderson, Invisible Residents, p. 126, citing Vicent Gaddis, Invisible Horizons, p. 173 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5415 ### Event 17820 (989F2467) **Date:** 8/28/1963 **Description:** A transparent illuminated sphere ten feet in diameter descended into a garden of the Gualberto family in Familia Sagrada, Minas Gerais State, Brazil at 7:15 p.m. There were four seated figures inside, who wore divers suits with transparent fishbowl helmets.

In the dome, several large windows are visible in which a figure can be seen, at least by the mother. The dome rotates as the object hovers, and it makes a low humming noise.

He sees a brilliant light in front of him. Temporarily blinded, he loses control of his truck and ends up in the ditch. Shaken but not injured, he gets out of the vehicle and looks up at the road, which he finds is blocked by an oval-shaped object at least 30 feet high. A door opens on the side and three huge “robots in human form” emerge. They wear helmets with short antennas and are 12–15 feet tall. Douglas takes a few shots at them with his revolver and runs away. The robots return to the UFO, which chases him down the road and eventually flies away. The next day, police find large footprints near the abandoned truck. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, “[Argentina, 1963–64,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1965%2CNov-Dec%2CV%2011%2CN%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 11, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1965\): 16–17; Clark III 280; Loren E.

Douglas, while driving a truck through a violent rainstorm, had to stop when he encountered a large, blinding object, 35 meters high, from which three giants, three meters tall emerged. They wore luminous clothes and strange helmets. Douglas took out a gun and fired at them, as a red beam burned him. He ran away and found shelter in Monte Maiz, Argentina. He suffered burns similar to strong ultraviolet exposure. Very large footprints were found at the site. "A truck driver was travelling along a lonely road at night during a violent storm when he was suddenly blinded by a vivid white light which enveloped his vehicle. Simultaneously, he felt a burn on his face. He then braked but the vehicle skidded, left the road and became bogged down in the mud. The driver found himself in the presence of three strange beings with the gait of robots. Nearby he saw an oval-shaped object with portholes emitting a harsh light. Picking up his revolver, he fired four shots at the beings, who fled to the object. It then took off and flew around the truck several times, each time causing the driver to feel burns all over his body. Examination by a doctor revealed that the burns were 'curious lesions' of undetermined cause." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 583; Gregory Falla, BUFORA Vehicle Interference Catalog **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6801 ### Event 17885 (2B9A0508) **Date:** 10/16/1963 **Time:** 17:00:00.1 **Location:** 37.1982 -116.2295 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

It comes down at an angle of 60°, then vanishes. Moments later, they see a bright, golden light in a field about 240 feet away, floating 10 feet above the ground, and seemingly 15–20 feet across. It seems to move along with the teens for a short while. It disappears behind trees, then a dark figure shambles out of the woods. It is all black, about the size of a human but without a head and has bat wings. The teenagers run away. Other witnesses come forward to report strange lights and giant footprints in the woods. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Charles A.

J. Murray and three members of the crew of the Aberdeen collier Thrift see a flashing red light as they are traveling south in the North Sea from Aberdeen to Blyth, Northumberland, England. It passes within a mile of their port side, 15–30 feet above sea level and suddenly disappears 3 miles astern, presumably into the water. The collier, which puts about and makes for the object’s vanishing point, has 2 radar contacts on its screens, but they disappear as the ship approaches. They search for 3 hours but find no wreckage. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Mystery at](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1964%2CMar-Apr%2CV%2010%2CN%202.pdf) [Sea,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1964%2CMar-Apr%2CV%2010%2CN%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 10, no. 2 \(Mar./Apr. 1964\): 22 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3743 ### Event 17948 (A0AFA37D) **Date:** 11/21/1963 **Time:** 17:50 **Location:** MONTLUCON, FR **Description:** College student.

The sessions will continue until June 6. The Hills undergo sessions separately, and for the most part are instructed not to remember their experiences afterwards. Barney’s sessions are particularly intense. However, by the end of the sessions, although they disagree with Simon on the nature of the experience, both the Hills and Simon agree that the therapy is successful. The stress and anxiety are gone. Simon submits a statement to the Hills’ insurance company, which initially declines to pay, until Simon explains that he was treating them for what will later be called PTSD. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 584–585 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3754 ### Event 18005 (7315573A) **Date:** 1/7/1964 **Time:** 18:00 **Location:** BORGOMANERO, ITL **Description:** 3 observer(s).

It is a ghostly, pulsating white light that is rotating in a clockwise direction. It seems to be “miles across.” As the light wheel moves to the ship’s port side, another rotating light approaches the ship’s starboard side. This undoubtedly involves some unusual bioluminescence, but it is significant that it is the first “unknown” in the RAAF’s UFO files. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Swords 390 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3755 ### Event 18013 (25C04590) **Date:** 1/23/1964 **Description:** An underwater submarine object (USO) was seen at around 9:00 p.m. at the Northeast point at Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory, Australia.

He says the A-11 can fly more than 2,000 mph at an altitude of 70,000 feet. The YF-12A is announced in part to continue hiding the A-12, its still-secret ancestor; any sightings of CIA/Air Force A-12s based at Area 51 in Nevada can be attributed to the well- publicized Air Force YF-12As based at Edwards Air Force Base in California. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacobsen, Area 51, [pp. 232–233](https://archive.org/details/area51uncensored0000jaco/page/232/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3759 ### Event 18036 (8E612C8B) **Date:** 2/29/1964 **Description:** Two 10-year-old boys named Mathlin and Jensen saw a glowing disc with landing gear land in a nearby paddock in Plympton, South Australia at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ochsner and his wife and two children are having a picnic on a hill about 10 miles northwest of Homer, New York. They see an unusually wide vapor trail in the sky stretching from northeast to southwest. At the far end of the white trail is a smoky, spiral portion about one mile long. The vapor trail drifts off. After 10 minutes, Ochsner notices that the spiral portion is still visible, having moved a bit to the west. With binoculars, he sees wisps of smoke streaming out of it. It changes from a horizontal to a vertical position with greater smoke activity. It stops and hangs there for 2–3 minutes before sinking into the clouds. After another 3 minutes, they see a horizontal pencil-shaped object moving from left to right on the horizon. A flash of white light erupts from its end and shoots forward a short distance then stops. It becomes thick in the middle, a cloud of smoke emanates from it, and it shoots backward rapidly. Again it hovers and changes to a saucer shape. It then divides into two parts, one above the other. The top object slowly recedes into the distance, while the bottom objects heads downward at a 45° angle, divides in two again, with the top part fading away and the bottom part assuming a vertical pencil shape, which fades away. The whole display takes 45 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** J.

They are flying a in a C-130 turbo-prop transport from McMurdo Station, Antarctica, with supplies. The right-side observer first sees the objects approaching at about 460 mph from above and to their right side. When they come abreast of the airplane, they slow to its speed. After a short time, they fly above the airplane and take up position above and to its left side. The pilot attempts to radio the ground but the radio is dead, and their radar also stops working. When the pilot tries to switch to auxiliary power, it too is not functioning. At one point the airplane’s engines stop \(the oil begins to congeal in the cold air\). Instead of losing altitude, it maintains “a steady altitude and course.” The airplane allegedly continues flying in complete silence, then it enters a “strange haze” \(like a white-out\) with the air filled with static electricity. There is electrical arcing from one observer’s body to metal inside the fuselage. The haze vanishes after about 20 minutes. The power suddenly returns, and the crew can restart the engines in sequence. The airplane has covered a distance of 305 miles during the 45–50 minutes at indicated airspeed of 184–218 knots. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[C-130 Crew Encounters UFO / EME to Radio and Radar](http://www.nicap.org/640420antartic%5Fdir.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3765 ### Event 18076 (E89EAD48) **Date:** 4/20/1964 **Description:** Flying over Ross Island near McMurdo Sound Naval Air Station in Antarctica in the early morning hours, six members of the crew of a U.S. Coast Guard C-130 spotted nine bright white flying objects in a "V" formation. The UFOs came from above and paced along the left side of their transport plane. The aircraft entered a strange haze at 12,000 m altitude, and it experienced a total failure of the radar, radio, and engine. However, during this temporary engine failure the plane did not loose altitude. The entire encounter lasted about 45 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, March 1981, p. 1; Richard F.

He gets off the tractor and approaches the object, which is egg-shaped, 20 feet long, 16 feet wide, and four feet high. It is hovering two feet above the ground and making a sound like a car idling. He touches it and feels a hard metal. Two figures suddenly appear from under the object. They are 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide, dressed in seamless silvery garments. Each carries a tray filled with alfalfa, roots, soil, leaves, and brush. Wilcox hears a voice say, “Do not be alarmed. We have talked to people before.” They ask him what he is doing, and Wilcox says he is spreading manure. One humanoid asks if he can have some and converses some more about space exploration. They claim they are from Mars. After a while, the UFO takes off in a horizontal direction.

The bottom of the flame is out of sight behind a hill. Thinking there has been an explosion, he tries to pursue it, turning off to the right on a rough gravel road, but loses sight of it while trying to get the car up a steep hill. By the time he reaches the top, the sound stops and the flame is no longer visible. He then notices a metallic object in a ravine about 450 feet away. At first, he thinks it is an overturned car, but then he sees “two figures in what resembled white coveralls, pretty close to the object on the northwest side, as if inspecting it.” One seems to turn in a startled way as if he hears Zamora’s car approaching. The figures are small, and the object is oval-shaped and positioned so its long axis is horizontal. Zamora loses sight of object as he drives through a dip in the road. He radios headquarters that he is investigating a possible car accident. He stops a second time and gets out, hearing 2–3 loud thumping noises like a door shutting hard. He walks three steps to the front of the car to possibly 50 feet away from the object when he hears a very load roar increasing in volume and sees a smokeless blue-orange flame coming from beneath. He notes a red insignia or lettering on the side of the object. Zamora thinks it is going to explode and runs away, putting the car between him and the object and dropping to the ground. He feels some slight heat from the flame. The roaring noise stops, and Zamora looks up to see the UFO flying away to the southwest at a level height, just clearing an 8-foot dynamite shack. He runs back to the patrol car and radios headquarters, just as the object climbs slowly and goes past Box Canyon or Six Mile Canyon Mountain \(about 6 miles away\). The entire incident takes place in less than 2 minutes. Police Sgt. M. S. Chavez arrives, and they find burning brush \(including a badly damaged creosote bush\) where the UFO has been, as well as four asymmetrically placed, trapezoidal imprints 12–16 inches long, 6–8 inches wide, and 4–6 inches deep. An FBI agent, [D. Arthur Byrnes Jr.](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/92491365/david-arthur-byrnes)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/92491365/david-arthur-byrnes) who has heard about it on the police radio, speaks with Zamora in the evening. He notifies army intelligence at White Sands Missile Range, who sends Capt. Richard T. Holder. Military police arrive and collect samples, working by flashlight. The next morning, Holder gets a call from a colonel at the war room of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asking for a report. T/Sgt. David Moody from ATIC and Maj. William Conner from Kirtland AFB check the area for radioactivity on April 26. [Hynek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek) arrives on April 28 and interviews Zamora and Chavez. [Richard H. Hall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%5FH.%5FHall) and [Ray Stanford](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/tireless-tracker-rewrote-the-book-on-dinosaurs-in-maryland/2012/04/17/gIQARzRcTT%5Fstory.html) arrive for NICAP and obtain some metal traces on a rock in the landing area; they take the sample to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, where metallurgist [Henry E. Frankel](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/135666225/henry-eric-frankel) agrees to analyze the material. His tentative analysis suggests a zinc-iron alloy, perhaps from a zinc pail. In 1966, Blue Book chief Maj. [Hector Quintanilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector%5FQuintanilla) writes in a classified article in Studies in Intelligence that “This is the best-documented case on record, and still we have been unable, in spite of a thorough investigation, to find the vehicle or other stimulus that scared Zamora to the point of panic.” Some investigators think the case might involve a test of a Lunar Surveyor module from White Sands. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Lonnie Zamora incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonnie%5FZamora%5Fincident)”; NICAP, “[Lonnie Zamora / Socorro Landing Case](http://www.nicap.org/640424socorro%5Fdir.htm)”; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf), p. 297; “[UAO Landing in New Mexico,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201964%2005%2000%20-%20May.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, May 1964, pp. 1, 3–10; “[Physical Evidence: Landing Reports,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/023%20JUL-AUG%201964.pdf)” UFO Investigator 2, no. 11 \(July/Aug. 1964\): 4–5; Coral Lorenzen, “UFO Lands in New Mexico,” Fate 17, no. 8 \(August 1964\): 27–38; Hector Quintanilla Jr., “[The](https://catalog.archives.gov/id/7282832) [Investigation of UFOs,](https://catalog.archives.gov/id/7282832)” Studies in Intelligence 10, no. 4 \(February 1966\): 95–110; Clark III 1083–1093; J.

Wilcox saw a shiny, egg-shaped object, about eight meters long and six meters wide, in his pasture in Tioga City, New York at around ten o'clock in the morning. He spoke in English to two short male occupants, 1.2 meters tall, wearing seamless clothing and hoods, and carrying trays. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 195 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2274 ### Event 18097 (D57BAF9E) **Date:** 4/24/1964 **Description:** Police officer Lonnie Zamora was parked watching for speeders on the main highway south of Socorro, New Mexico at 5:45 in the afternoon when he saw an whitish metallic ovoid object land in the desert behind a rise. He drove his police cruiser over the rise and saw an ovoid object with four legs resting in a gully. Two four-foot tall beings in white spacesuits stood next to the landed UFO. They turned in his direction and then went inside the UFO. A loud roar was heard during a vertical takeoff as the object emitted a flame from the bottom. The foliage in the area was scorched black, and there were four holes in the ground surrounding the burned area. The case was personally investigated by Dr. J. Allen Hynek for Project Blue Book. Everyone, except UFO debunker Phillip Klass who visited Socorro four years later, regards the testimony of Mr. Zamora as highly credible. A married couple saw the object north of the city at 5:30 p.m. before it landed, and seven other witnesses saw it flying south of Socorro shortly before 6:00 p.m. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Project Blue Book, case 8766; Thomas M.

Two Spanish-speaking people 9 miles away from Golden, New Mexico, watch a light come down from the sky and leave three “smelted” circles some 2 feet in diameter and separated from each other by 20 feet. They mention this story to James Scartacinni, 15, and his grandfather visit the site the next day and find the circles, which they estimate must have been subjected to a temperature of 2,300° F. They return to town and call the state police, who notify the military. Almost immediately, men in uniform cordon off the area, dig up the burned areas to a depth of one foot, and carry the material away. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Hunting Old and New UFOs in New Mexico,” IUR 7, no. 2 \(March 1982\):12 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3771 ### Event 18101 (8C56A864) **Date:** 4/26/1964 **Time:** 00:30 **Location:** NORTH / LA MADERA, NM **Description:** Silent 8M vertical ovoid / ground.

It was described as a ball of fire without structure, about 75 cm in diameter. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** Atic ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_607 ### Event 18191 (38B0A57C) **Date:** 5/24/1964 **Location:** Burgh by Sands, Cumbria, England **Description:** [James P. Templeton](https://web.archive.org/web/100/https://www.amberley-books.com/community-james-p-templeton)[,](https://web.archive.org/web/100/https://www.amberley-books.com/community-james-p-templeton) using a Pentacon camera with Kodacolor X stock, takes a photo of his 5-year-old daughter Elizabeth when his family is picnicking on the marshes at Burgh by Sands, Cumbria, England. When the film is developed, a man, encased in a white spacesuit and helmet, is clearly visible behind Elizabeth’s head. Templeton and his family claim they had seen no one when the photo was taken. He tells the Carlisle police, who are puzzled. Kodak is intrigued enough to conduct an inquiry. They rule out a double exposure. However, one possibility is that the image is an overexposed view of the back of Templeton’s wife. After the photo receives some local publicity, Templeton gets a call from someone describing himself as an investigator. Templeton agrees to meet with him and an associate and visit the marsh. Two men dressed in dark business suits show up and drive him to the site. They refuse to give Templeton their names, referring to themselves only as “9” and “11.” They are mostly interested in finding out if any nearby animals had been agitated. Then they insist that the figure was just a passerby, get angry, and drive away, leaving Templeton stranded and having to walk home 5 miles away. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon W.

Soon they notice it is moving and is now almost directly overhead. He stops the car and gets out for a closer look. The object is circular, dull metallic, and has a series of vents in the tail trailing white, blue, red, and orange exhaust. They watch it for 3 minutes moving slowly to the north at about 50 mph and making a whistling noise. It makes a sharp right-angle turn, proceeds west, and disappears from sight. Gammie reports the sighting to the RCAF in Vancouver, and a senior air force officer visits him later and shows him a bulky portfolio of glossy UFO photos, many of them showing detailed features. Gammie tells him that the UFO he had seen did not exactly resemble any of the photos, and the officer tells him that the RCAF would not admit to interviewing him if the case receives any publicity. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[‘That Awful Looking Shooting Star,’](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20%28Magor%29/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20-%20vol%203%20no%205%20-%201975.pdf)” Canadian UFO Report 3, no. 5 \(1975\): 14 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3789 ### Event 18209 (59FE2813) **Date:** 6/1964 **Location:** Anvers, Belgium **Description:** BUFOI magazine \(Belgian UFO Information\) is launched by a George Adamski group in Anvers, Belgium, and edited by May and Patrick Morlet.

It made a hissing sound "like a million snakes". The witness felt a burning sensation in his body while the UFO hovered just in front of car for more than a minute as he travelled along at 65 mph. The UFO went up over the car, leaving a strong odor like "embalming fluid" and a gaseous vapor covered his car. The UFO came straight at his car again and the engine of his car began to miss. He stopped the car, and the object "spun like crazy" and then took off, disappearing in a split second. Parham's hands continued to burn even after he washed them. An oily substance on the car persisted after several washings, and the car's hood was warped with bubbled up paint. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, pg. 248 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3728 ### Event 18278 (C5FB989F) **Date:** 6/30/1964 **Time:** 01:00 **Location:** WELLFORD, SC **Description:** Saucer with antennas follows car / miles.

Parham](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/37321359/beauford-e%5F-parham) is driving near Lavonia, Georgia, on his way back from a business trip when he notices a brilliant light in the sky. It is moving towards his car at a 45° angle. In an instant it appears right in front of his headlights, no more than 5 feet away and a foot above the ground. Shaped like a giant top, it emits a “hissing sound like a million snakes.” The amber-colored UFO has a sharp, steeple-like cone rising from its top midsection. It moves above his car leaving a strong odor of embalming fluid and a gaseous vapor that leaves an oily substance over his car, even after repeated washings. After several passes over his car, it starts spinning and takes off vertically. Parham now notices his arms are beginning to burn. He immediately reports his sighting to the mayor of Lavonia, then personnel at the Anderson Regional Airport in South Carolina, where he meets local FAA officials who check his car for radiation. They get readings from the oily stains, as well as both his arms from the shoulder down. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Man Claims Car Buzzed by an Unknown Object,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/99797672/)” Greenwood \(S.C.\) Index-Journal, July 3, 1964, p. 5; NICAP, “[Lavonia / Tallulah Case \(Radiation\)](http://www.nicap.org/640629lavonia%5Fdir.htm)”; [Schopick](http://cufos.org/books/A%5FStudy%5Fof%5FSecondary%5FEffects-An%5FUnpublished%5FManuscript%5Fof%5FUFO%5FE-M%5FCases.pdf)[,](http://cufos.org/books/A%5FStudy%5Fof%5FSecondary%5FEffects-An%5FUnpublished%5FManuscript%5Fof%5FUFO%5FE-M%5FCases.pdf) pp. 71–72; Donald E.

They go out on the front porch and see an object moving silently above the trees 300 feet away. It stops to hover a few feet above a neighbor’s garden across the highway. Its bottom side is fully visible; on the dark upper side are three lights: red, clear, red. The red lights are blinking. As the object ascends, the lights go out. A brilliant green light then shines from the bottom, illuminating the trees. A foul odor “like embalming fluid or brake fluid” hangs in the air after the object leaves. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Unearthly Objects](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/94918975/) [Hovering in Sky?](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/94918975/)” Atlanta \(Ga.\) Constitution, July 17, 1964, p. 23; [Schopick](http://cufos.org/books/A%5FStudy%5Fof%5FSecondary%5FEffects-An%5FUnpublished%5FManuscript%5Fof%5FUFO%5FE-M%5FCases.pdf)[,](http://cufos.org/books/A%5FStudy%5Fof%5FSecondary%5FEffects-An%5FUnpublished%5FManuscript%5Fof%5FUFO%5FE-M%5FCases.pdf) pp. 72–73; Clark III 679; “[An](https://theparanormaleffect.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/an-interesting-ufo-story-from-georgia/) [Interesting UFO Story from Georgia,](https://theparanormaleffect.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/an-interesting-ufo-story-from-georgia/)” The Paranormal Effect, October 3, 2010 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3795 ### Event 18293 (C3E8CAB7) **Date:** 7/8/1964 (approximate) **Time:** 10:30 **Location:** SENTOUS, FR **Description:** 3 Mx1.5M saucer hovers low / roadside.

Five boys \(Edmund Travis, Randy Travis, Floyd Moore, Billy Dunlap, and Gary Dunlap\) are playing around an apple tree at Conklin, New York, when they notice a shiny, dome-shaped object in a field along the roadside. Looking for the source of a whistling sound, the boys spot a 3-foot-tall humanoid figure crouching in a tree about 150 feet away. It is dressed in a shiny black uniform, short-sleeved shirt, and black helmet. The whistling appears to emanate from his stomach. The boys throw stones and apples at it, but the figure is too far away. After about 15 minutes, the figure, moving stiffly, falls backwards out of the tree and floats slowly into the bushes. They can see it crawling through the weeds back to the UFO. A round, flattened area is found in the field where the grass is crushed and bushes are broken. In the middle is dried, yellow moss that apparently has been subjected to great heat. Three depressions are where the UFO legs apparently were. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 296–297; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1964-07-16-usa-conklin.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1964-07-16-usa-conklin.htm) July 10, 2007 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3799 ### Event 18316 (8CBA2892) **Date:** 7/16/1964 **Description:** A dome shaped object, as shiny as chromium, was seen in a field alongside a road by five boys at 12:30 p.m. in Conklin, Broome County, New York.

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.

The light approaches and turns out to be an oval glowing object. While it is hovering above the shallow water of an island he sees something fall from the object and hears a sound resembling hot metal touching cold water. The object shoots straight upward. Blomqvist recovers a 2–2.5-inch piece of stone. In 1975, Blomqvist contacts UFO investigators and gives them the stone. The fragment is x-ray analyzed at Åbo Akademi University in Turku, which states that it appears to be volcanic. Analysts at the University of Turku look at it with a mass spectrometer and conclude it is mostly iron, not a piece of ore, not volcanic, not a meteorite, and not machined, although it has been subjected to a temperature of around 650° C. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Fragment Fell from UFO,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201977%2012%2000%20-%20Vol%2026%20No%206.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 26, no. 6 \(December 1977\): 1, 3; “Foreign Forum,” IUR 3, no. 3 \(Mar. 1978\): 2 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3801 ### Event 18361 (ABB6D3FC) **Date:** 8/1964 **Location:** Francis E.

Suddenly a “dark, cloud-like object” approaches at high speed. As it passes by, the trees shake and they hear an explosion. They return the next day and less than 2 miles from their campsite they find a compact, gelatinous mass of green-turquoise color about 8 inches long.

The CIA considers its role in the victory of Frei a great success. They argue that “the financial and organizational assistance given to Frei, the effort to keep [\[Julio\] Durán](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio%5FDur%C3%A1n) in the race, the propaganda campaign to denigrate Allende—were ‘indispensable ingredients of Frei’s success,’” and they think that his chances of winning and the good progress of his campaign would have been doubtful without the covert support of the US. Thus, in 1964 Allende loses once more as the FRAP candidate for president. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Salvador Allende](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador%5FAllende\#Political%5Finvolvement%5Fup%5Fto%5F1970)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3808 ### Event 18427 (40AA6BE9) **Date:** 9/4/1964 **Description:** Shortly before 8:00 p.m. two teenagers in Glassboro, New Jersey were approached by two tall blond men, who had long hair and were barefoot. They asked the boys if they were interested in seeing a UFO. They walked to an apple orchard where they saw a red light land in the woods, and then take off. A burnt crater was found by the NICAP investigator, with tripod indentations. The US Air Force was called and performed a perfunctory, sloppy investigation of the case, but NICAP did a more thorough job. In addition to the burnt area and ground marks, some white powdery balls were found that were cold to the touch. After touching them the witnesses' hands retained numbness for 24 hours. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, October 1964, p. 1; Jean Bastide, MUFON UFO Journal, July 1977, p. 11, citing NICAP field investigator Campbell **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5627 ### Event 18428 (8AFED2D6) **Date:** 9/4/1964 **Description:** That same evening two men had gone bow hunting in the forest near Cisco Grove, California. One of the men, Mr. D. Shrum, age 28, became lost and climbed a tree. It was then, at around 10:00 p.m., that he noticed a domed object with a blinking light on top descend and land. Two short humanoid beings, wearing silvery white coveralls, and a robot-looking creature got out and approached his location. They attempted to climb the tree after him in an apparent effort to capture him, but were unsuccessful. The robot released a vapor that drifted up to him and made him groggy, but before he lost consciousness he was able to tie himself to the tree trunk with his belt. He shot arrows at the robot, but the arrows just bounced off and caused no damage. The beings remained in the area, as far as he could tell, for most of the night. He stayed in the tree for eleven hours. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Coral E. & Jim Lorenzen, Flying Saucer Occupants, p. 137; Richard Hall, Uninvited Guests, p. 248; Gordon I.

From a vantage point in a tree, he saw a dome-shaped object at ground level, about 500 m away. Several creatures, one of them a robotlike figure with "eyes" about 10 cm in diameter, came near, apparently trying to dislodge the witness from his tree. The creatures appeared to fear the light from flaming objects thrown at them. The witness fell asleep after an exhausting series of attempts to keep the creatures away. At dawn there was nothing to be seen. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** Atic; Magonia ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_624 ### Event 18432 (9F7C2529) **Date:** 9/5/1964 **Locations:** Placer County, California; Loch Leven Lakes; Cisco Grove **Description:** 10:00 p.m. Donald Schrum and his friends are bow-and-arrow hunting in an isolated area of Placer County, California, near the Loch Leven Lakes in the vicinity of Cisco Grove. Schrum becomes separated from his companions. At sunset he decides to sleep in a tree for the night. Later he sees a white light zigzagging at low altitude and, thinking it is a helicopter, jumps out of the tree and lights fires to attract its attention. The light turns toward him and stops about 50–60 yards away. The object’s strange appearance frightens Schrum, so he climbs back up in the tree. After a while two humanoid beings and a robot-like creature approach the tree. From then on, Schrum is in a state of siege as the beings try to dislodge him from the tree. At one point a white vapor emanates from the robot’s mouth and Schrum blacks out, but wakes up again, nauseous, and begins lighting matches and throwing them down to frighten the beings away; they back away. Finally, he shoots an arrow at the robot; when it hits, there is an arc flash and the robot is knocked backwards. This is repeated two more times, and the humanoids scatter each time. A second robot appears and a vapor renders Schrum unconscious. When he awakes, he discovers that the two humanoids are climbing up the tree toward him, so he shakes the tree and throws things down at them to ward them off. The same actions are repeated all night. Near dawn, more beings approach and “large volumes of smoke” drift up and he blacks out. He awakes hanging from his belt, and the creatures are gone. Later, when reunited with his companions, Schrum finds that one of the other hunters, who also have gotten lost and separated from their camp, saw the UFO. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Cisco Grove / Alien Encounter](http://www.nicap.org/640904ciscogrove%5Fdir.htm)”; Donald E.

Robert Jacobs is officer-in-charge of photo-optical instrumentation for the 1369th Photographic Squadron at Vandenberg AFB \[now Vandenberg Space Force Base\] near Lompoc, California. His crew films an SM-65F Atlas missile launch where a UFO allegedly causes the ICBM’s warhead to malfunction over Big Sur, California. At the time of the filming, apparently no one knows anything about a UFO sighting. But the next morning, Jacobs is ordered to report to the office of Maj. [Florenz J. Mansmann](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/123924772/florenz-john-mansmann), First Strategic Aerospace Division, his commanding officer, where he is shown the film and told to forget it ever happened. Kingston George, the project engineer for the experiments and who probably never saw the film, “identified” the object as “nothing to do with UFOs” in an article in the Skeptical Enquirer. Before Mansmann’s death, and 40 years after the actual event, the major confirms the UFO incident in writing. The controversy centers on the opinions of some researchers who suggest that the telescope imaging system is not adequate enough to produce the results described by Jacobs and Mannsman. However, several other researchers have shown that, with the viewing conditions at the height of the equipment used, and the imaging systems operating at that shoot, the incident could have occurred as described. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[The Big Sur Filming / UFO Disables Dummy Warhead?](http://www.nicap.org/6409XXbigsur%5Fdir.htm)”; Robert Jacobs, “[How a UFO Destroyed an American Rocket,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201983%20V%2029%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 29, no. 1 \(October 1983\): 23–24; Kingston A.

The ship relays a message to Roosevelt Roads Naval Station \[now José Aponte de la Torre Airport\] in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, which then contacts Lt. Cmdr. K. H. Woodsbury, pilot of an F-8C aircraft of Utility Squadron Eight that is already flying in the neighborhood at an altitude of 30,000 feet. The aircraft reports a stranger closing in very fast. The pilot describes the object as delta-shaped and about the size of a fighter. Its color is black or gray and it has no contrail or lights except for a light source emitting from the tail during periods of acceleration. The pilot pursues the object but cannot intercept. The target accelerates out of sight in a wide starboard turn climbing through 50,000 feet at about an 18°–20° angle in excess of Mach 1. Woodsbury says: “Its speed, acceleration, ceiling and ability to decelerate exceed any aircraft I have ever seen or heard of. There is no reasonable explanation for this target.” During the encounter the SPS-49 radar is jammed for a short period of time. Other radar encounters take place in the Caribbean November 16–18 and 24. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[U.S.S.

Two women in New Berlin, New York watched the entire operation for four hours, beginning shortly after midnight. A luminous, disc-shaped object landed on a hill at a distance of 3,800 feet away from their house. Their dog became frightened. Ten to twelve 7'-8' tall men exited the craft and appeared to engage in repair activity, working underneath the disc. They appear to be unsuccessful in their repair activities at first, until a second disc landed, presumably to lend assistance. The UFO occupants wore dark close-fitting suits. Ground marks left at the site formed equilateral imprint triangles, 4.6 meters and 6.1 meters on a side. The UFOs made a humming or droning noise when they took off. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Schwarz Berthold E.

Just before it crosses the highway 200 feet in front of him, the UFO narrowly misses power lines. It is so huge that when it passes nearly in front of him, it fills his entire windshield. The UFO comes down gently and lands in a field to Burns’s right. Meanwhile, Burns’s car engine has shut off. The object appears to be at least 125 feet in diameter and 80–90 feet high. After 60–90 seconds, it rises up several hundred feet, makes a sound like rushing air, and shoots off to the northeast, vanishing from sight. A high level of radioactivity is detected at the site December 30 by investigators German professor [Ernest G. Gehman](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/75655467/ernest-g-gehman) and engineer Harry M. Cook. They obtain a Geiger counter reading of 16–18 milliR/hr. Two Blue Book investigators—T/Sgt. David N. Moody and S/Sgt. Harold T. Jones—visit the site with Gehman on January 12 and take further readings \(1.5 milliR/hr on Burns’s left rear car door\). They dispute Gehman’s earlier results, but a possible 11x–12x drop in radiation level in 13 days possibly indicates a radionuclide with a 3–4 day half-life. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[‘Saucer’ Reports](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/94931172/the-daily-news-leader/) [Are Flying,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/94931196/the-daily-news-leader/)” Staunton \(Va.\) Daily News Leader, January 15, 1965, pp. 1–2; NICAP, “[Car Engine Fails after Object Lands](http://www.nicap.org/641221harrisonburg%5Fdir.htm)”; “[Opposition Flap 1965,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1965%2CMay-Jun%2CV%2011%2CN%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 11, no. 3 \(May/June 1965\): 3–4; Clark III 491–494, 950; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf), p. 303 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3830 ### Event 18562 (A984C691) **Date:** 12/21/1964 **Description:** A gunsmith had a close encounter with a beehive-shaped UFO in rural Fisherville, Virginia. At five o’clock in the afternoon Mr. Burns was driving east on highway Route 250 east of Staunton when a 125-foot wide, beehive-shaped UFO slowly crossed the roadway ahead of him, causing his car to stall. As the metallic looking UFO descended it narrowly missed hitting some power lines. There was a bluish glow from the bottom. As it left, it rose to about 200 feet in altitude, tilted slightly, then disappeared quickly into the northeast. The car could then be restarted. Geiger counter tests showed abnormally high radioactivity in the area. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Donald B.

(initials), a government employee of 23 yrs., went through a double- door marked “Off Limits” and suddenly came face to face with an Alien in a self contained space suite. Description: About 4.5 ft. tall with a translucent dome over its’ large head; wasn’t human; large eyes under a heavy brow; no noticeable nose; a slit for a mouth; bluish skin. When the creature walked it didn’t bend its’ knees. R.M. later found out from a retired Air Force Colonel from Wight-Patterson AFB, that 2 live Aliens were held in captivity in an artificial environment. The Colonel also said that a 2-man sized craft crashed near Whitewater Lake, Indiana, as a result of an electrical disturbance in the atmosphere. (The Alien would have to lock his knees in a high-gravity environment to avoid falling down.) **Type:** alien sighting **Reference:** [Pea Research](https://www.academia.edu/9813787/GOVERNMENT_INVOLVEMENT_IN_THE_UFO_COVER_UP_CHRONOLOGY_based) (A5, B3-C, WHITEWATER RECOVERY) **Source:** Maj2, **ID:** Maj2_623 ### Event 18571 (B3EC6F3F) **Date:** 1965? **Locations:** Groom Lake, Nevada; Area 51 **Description:** A-12 pilot [Ken Collins](http://roadrunnersinternationale.com/collins.html) continues to test A-12s at Groom Lake, Nevada. One night \(in 1964 or 1965 maybe\), he is awakened by base commander Col. [Hugh “Slip” Slater](http://roadrunnersinternationale.com/slater.html) and asked to take an A-12 up to find a Russian reconnaissance balloon that is floating in American airspace in a westerly direction with the prevailing winds. Collins is tasked with finding the balloon visually and using radar. In the air, he realizes it is a wild goose chase because, flying at 2,200 mph, even if he sees the balloon briefly it would be behind him in a second. He identifies an object on radar 350 miles away. He circles it as closely as he can, which is a circle with a radius of 400 miles. He never makes visual contact and returns to Area 51. [Jacobsen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie%5FJacobsen) says that this Soviet violation of US airspace has “never been declassified.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacobsen, Area 51, [pp. 195–196](https://archive.org/details/area51uncensored0000jaco/page/194/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3833 ### Event 18572 (15C3510C) **Date:** 1965 **Description:** USAF Gen.

A border patrol officer also sees the object after he is alerted by radio. He is buzzed by the UFO, which is low enough that he stops his car, gets out, and watches it move out of sight. Where the object lands in 16 inches of snow, they find a large circular imprint about 10–12 feet in diameter. The ground beneath the melted snow ring shows evidence of having been scorched. Oval-shaped tracks 8 inches long and 8 inches apart, in a single file, are found leading from the landing site to the evergreens, where they disappear. One month later, the circular area still shows traces. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[New Sightings Put AF on Spot,](http://www.cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/025%20MAR-APR%201965.pdf)” UFO Investigator 3, no. 1 \(March/April 1965\): 4; J.

He sees two saucer-like shapes in the sky at 2,000–4,000 feet altitude. The larger one seems to be about 80 feet across. The smaller one, 20 feet across, descends quickly and silently and lands 45–55 feet away from Blackburn. A door opens, making a slight noise and revealing an interior light. Three figures, each 3 feet tall and wearing tight-fitting metallic-looking suits, emerge. They have reddish-orange skin and piercing eyes. One has an extra-long finger on its left hand. They speak in an unintelligible language, then return to the UFO. The door closes so perfectly that an outline cannot be seen, and the object takes off. The entire episode lasts only 5 minutes.

Steven Houffer, 16, and six friends are driving on US Highway 250 near Brands Flats, Virginia, when they see a small man walking toward the road from a field. He sits down and peers intently at passing cars. Houffer stops the car and he and his friends get out. When they approach, the being runs up a hill. Two other entities appear and run in the same direction. They are all about 3.5 feet tall, wear silvery one-piece garments, and leave no footprints. Police officers conduct a search with local photographer Charles Weaver, but find nothing. Some time later, Houffer and Weaver see a “glowing aluminum barn,” which they go down to investigate. Weaver is walking around inside when something hits him on the head. The two turn to run after Weaver snaps a photo. In the light of the flashbulb, they see a little man standing by the barn. The photo is allegedly confiscated by government agents. A local man, Donald Cash, 6 feet tall, confesses to dressing up in overalls to pose as an alien, although his story does not completely match the details of the account. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UFO Posses](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/95052927/) [Hit,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/95053002/)” Staunton \(Va.\) Daily News Leader, January 28, 1965, pp. 1–2; Jerome Clark, “[Two New Contact Claims,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1965%2CMay-Jun%2CV%2011%2CN%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 11, no. 3 \(May/June 1965\): 20–21; “[Fed Up with Play: Green Man Confesses,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/95053933/)” Staunton \(Va.\) Daily News Leader, January 31, 1965, p. 1 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3861 ### Event 18661 (51407498) **Date:** 1/26/1965 **Description:** A group of teenagers, including Steve Miller, age 16, were driving on Route 250 near Brands Flats, Virginia at 7:30 p.m. when they saw a little man about 3 ½ feet tall sitting by the road watching the cars go by. He was wearing a silvery looking one-piece outfit. They got out of the car and pursued the little man. Two more little men joined the first and ran with him, and they easily outran the teens leaving no footprints in the muddy ground. The group then contacted the Staunton police, and within an hour a group of police were on the scene, as well as a young news photographer, Charles Weaver. Weaver, and another man named Huffer approached a barn, which the photographer entered first. Huffer heard his companion call out to him, and when Huffer entered the barn he found Weaver on the ground. Weaver claimed something struck him and knocked him down. The pair left the barn quickly, but as they fled they thought they saw a little man standing in front of the building. Weaver paused long enough to take a photo before joining up with the other investigators. The disposition of the photograph has never been determined. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He started to run from it, but heard a voice frpm it saying, “Do not be frightened, we are not hostile.” It descended to within two feet of the beach. Mr. Padrick was invited by the voice to come onboard, which he did. The UFO, which bore no lights, was shaped like a 50 foot sphere with top and bottom cut off, and surrounded by a horizontal flange. The witness entered through a brilliantly lit antechamber, and was met by a young man dressed in a tight fitting, bluish white two piece uniform, continuous with the boots. The UFO occupant identified himself as "Zeeno" and said that he came from a planet invisible to us, as it is always behind one of the planets we can see. He further explained that their society had no sickness, vice or crime. Padrick saw on a TV screen another such vessel, identified as their “navigating craft.” He was taken for a ride to a spot in the mountains and brought back to the beach after two hours. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Major Damon B.

Four witnesses saw it from two different points along the coast. A lifeboat, two RAF helicopters, and a Shackleton failed to find anything after a 90 minute search, and no planes were reported missing. The "ghost plane" may have been seen inland before it reached the sea, for a strange low-flying plane was reportedly seen over Swainswick, near Bath in Somerset, England. The ash-grey "plane" was flying about 100 feet above the road in a west-southwestly direction. It had a misty appearance, despite the fact that there was no fog or mist at the time. It came from behind some trees, and then literally just disappeared. "The strange part was that it made no sound and did not appear to have an engine, but it was certainly not a glider." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Janet Gregory, FSR, September-October 1971, pp. 29-30; Ivan T.

The beings approached slowly, with gestures that dissuaded one of the Indians from coming any closer to the UFO. A voice was then heard, telling the witnesses to remain calm for there was nothing to fear, and that the space people would return to bring peace on earth. The humanoids then returned to their craft, which then took off with a blinding luminosity. Photographs were said to have been taken by local police officers. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Donald B.

It is arranged by W. Howard Sloane of the Ballarat Astronomical Society to share information and remove some of the stigma of UFO research. The conference is held at the Ballarat Municipal Observatory in Mount Pleasant. Representatives of the Perth UFO Research Group, the Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society, the UFO Investigation Centre NSW, and the Flying Saucer Research Society of South Australia are in attendance. Witnesses include Rev. [William Gill](http://theozfiles.blogspot.com/2007/08/reverend-william-bill-booth-gill-1929.html) and Charles Brew. Former Air Marshal [George Jones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FJones%5F%28RAAF%5Fofficer%29) attends, and the RAAF is represented by B. G. Roberts, senior research scientist at the Operational Research Office, Department of Air. Roberts says that the RAAF has determined that 90% of reports are explainable, but that only those that might be a threat to national security are worth investigating and “there are no documents, files, or dossiers held by the Department which prove the existence of ‘flying saucers.’” The researchers quiz him on the 1953 Drury photographic case, but Roberts is unaware of that one. Jones insists on keeping an open mind about reports like those by Gill and Brew. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Swords 391–392; “[First Australian Convention of UFO Groups,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Australia/Australian%20Flying%20Saucer%20Review/Australian%20Flying%20Saucer%20Review%20-%201965%2006%20-%20no%208%20UFOIC%20-%20INCOMPLETE.pdf)” Australian Flying Saucer Review \(UFOIC\), no. 8 \(June 1965\): 13–15 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3872 ### Event 18721 (766DB8B1) **Date:** 3/2/1965 **Location:** Nr.

Reeves, 65, retired, while walking in the woods east of Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida, sees a bluish-green and reddish-purple object 20–30 feet in diameter, 6 feet thick, saucer-shaped, and with an outer rim and a stairway, two 2-foot windows on top, landed on the ground on four 4-foot legs about 2,000 feet away. He approaches to 100 feet. After watching the object for 10 minutes, he sees a robot-like being about 200– 300 feet away, about 5 feet tall, wearing a gray-silver uniform, glass dome headgear, wide-spaced eyes, and pointed chin. It walks to 15 feet away from Reeves, stares at him for 1.5 minutes, points a box or 6–7-inch black object at Reeves that emits a flash 3 times, then walks back to the landed vehicle and climbs in. The object has Venetian blind–like blades on the rim that open and close; the rim starts rotating counterclockwise, the landing gear retract, then it takes off with a whooshing-rumbling sound and disappears vertically in less than 10 seconds, dropping two sheets of paper with indecipherable writing, and leaving indentations and footprints in the ground.

Their equipment is left behind at the antenna, but air police cannot locate the men. Pennsylvania State Police assist in a search of the area. About 16 hours later, a state trooper locates the two men walking along State Route 487 south of Lopez, about 10 miles away. They seem dazed, so they are taken to a hospital in Williamsport, where they are found to be dehydrated and confused. No alcohol or drugs are found. They are then taken to an Air Force hospital at Stewart AFB \[now Stewart Air National Guard Base\] in Orange County, New York. Trace amounts of alpha radiation are found on their clothing and strange marks are on their necks. AFOSI special agents interview them, but the men cannot remember anything. After 2 weeks in the hospital, they are released back to their unit. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “Pennsylvania Abduction from Air Force Base,” Filer’s Files, September 9, 1999; Good Need, [pp. 251–252](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/250/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3873 ### Event 18724 (2BA711F8) **Date:** 3/2/1965 **Description:** At 1:55 p.m. John F. Reeves, a retired 65 year old, was hunting for snakes in the woods in Brooksville, Florida when he observed a reddish-purple saucer-shaped object on the ground. It was 30 feet in diameter and 6-7 feet thick, and stood on four legs, with a clear dome on top and a row of vanes like an outer rim around the circumference. It also had a set of stairs. He crept to within 100 feet, and after watching it for 10 minutes he saw a robot-like being, about five feet tall, wearing a silver one-piece uniform with a transparent "fishbowl" helmet. His hands were gloved and he wore metallic looking boots. His eyes were set far apart and he had a pointed chin. The being walked walked to the craft, then returned with a box that emitted two bright flashes when pointed at the witness; Reeves took it to be somekind of camera. The humanoid then re-entered the craft by walking up a small retractable stairway, and the object rose vertically with a whistling noise. Reeves found at the site many dumbbell-shaped footprints, and four roughly equidistant 6 inch holes, left by the landing gear. There were also two folded sheets of thin tissue like paper that bore messages written in an unknown alphabet. Reeves subsequently had further sightings and contacts. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, March-April 1965, p. 1; William J.

He watched it for 40 min, observing that it was conical, twice as wide as it was high, and seemed built from metal sections over one square m each. It showed four rows of square windows, 70 cm wide. Estimated diameter: 25 m. A yellow light shone through the windows, and the object made a sound of a transformer and wind. Flynn got within 2 m of it and made a gesture. A beam of light from the underside of the object struck him between the eyes and he lost consciousness for 24 hours. He had lost vision in the right eye, saw poorly with the left, went to a doctor in Fort Myers, and spent five days in the hospital. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** Fate Sep.,65 ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_641 ### Event 18749 (D12A090F) **Date:** 3/15/1965 **Location:** Everglades, FL **Description:** Hovering cone-shaped object, animal reaction.

Flynn is deep in the Everglades in his swamp buggy, somewhere east of Immokalee, Florida, with his four hunting dogs. He sees a hovering object like an upside-down cone about 200 feet above some cypress trees slightly over a mile away. It moves back and forth from its original position. Through binoculars it looks 25 feet high and 50 feet in diameter, with square windows emitting a yellowish glow. Around its base an orange-red glow extends downwards and illuminates the ground some 75 feet around the rim. Some 40 minutes into the sighting, Flynn decides to approach it in his buggy. A high-pitched ringing sound bothers one of his dogs. He stops 600 feet away and walks, waving his arms, toward the UFO, which is hovering 4 feet off the ground. A blast of wind from the object nearly knocks him off his feet. He continues, and at 75 feet from the UFO he waves his arms again. The object beams a light like a “welder’s torch” that hits his forehead. He blacks out twice. When he wakes up he is temporarily blinded. In the morning he finds a symmetrical circle of burned ground. The tops of trees are burned. Flynn makes his way to the home of Henry Osceola \(or Henry Billy\) later in the day and arrives at his own home in East Fort Myers on March 17 and spends 5 days in the hospital with damage to his right eye, bruises, burns, deep muscle tissue damage, and loss of hearing. His eye damage is permanent. The landing marks and burned trees are verified by the Lee County sheriff’s office. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Everglades / James Flynn Case](http://www.nicap.org/650315everglades%5Fdir.htm)”; Donald E.

The UFO had three rows of square windows and a yellow light. It made a generator-like sound, then emitted a jet-like sound followed by a blast of air. His dogs howled. Then a beam of light shot out from underneath the object, striking the witness in the forehead. He fell unconscious, and awoke with blindness in his right eye. Damaged foliage was found at the site, and Mr. Flynn was admitted to hospital for a five day stay. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Coral E.

Yoshiharu Inaba is flying a TOA Airlines Convair 240 from Osaka to Hiroshima, Japan, at an altitude of 6,500 feet. Just after the aircraft passes Himeji, Hyogo, an elliptical luminous object appears and follows the plane. Inaba makes a 60° turn to avoid a collision, but the object makes a similar maneuver then follows along the plane’s left wing for about 56 miles. Emitting a greenish light, the object affects the automatic direction finder and the radio. As copilot Tetsu Majima radios the Matsuyama control tower, he hears frantic calls from Joji Negishi, the pilot of a Tokyo Airlines Piper Apache, who says he is being chased by a luminous object over Matsuyama. The object shoots away and disappears. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Object Paces Japanese](http://www.nicap.org/650321osaka%5Fdir.htm) [Airliner](http://www.nicap.org/650321osaka%5Fdir.htm)”; “[UFO Encounters over Japan,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/025%20MAR-APR%201965.pdf)” UFO Investigator 3, no. 1 \(March/April 1965\): 6; Timothy Green Beckley, “Saucers Chase Japanese Airliner,” Fate 18, no. 8 \(August 1965\): 32–35; [Schopick](http://cufos.org/books/A%5FStudy%5Fof%5FSecondary%5FEffects-An%5FUnpublished%5FManuscript%5Fof%5FUFO%5FE-M%5FCases.pdf), pp. 150–153; Good Need, [p. 253](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/252/mode/2up); Patrick Gross, “[Aircraft–UFO Encounters, Japan, March 18, 1965](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/ja5131.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3877 ### Event 18756 (30FAF4A7) **Date:** 3/18/1965 **Description:** At 7:00 p.m. on this day, while flying between Himeji and Matsuyama, Japan the crew of a Japanese airliner Convair 240 sighted three elongated objects and one circular UFO at the same time that the plane's automatic direction finder malfunctioned.

It shined a beam of light down on their car. The object then descended just above the car, and the car then began to vibrate and its lights went out. They then saw another ray of light come down from the UFO onto their vehicle, whereupon the driver lost driving control and the vehicle skidded sideways and came to a stop. The red globe-shaped object then landed in front of the car, and two humanoids that resembled robots came out from the UFO and began to approach. Both men got out; one had a rifle that he fired at the entities. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion and the two men were blinded and could hear nothing. Fifteen minutes later they could see again, but the object and the two entities had already gone. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: Terror and Death in Brazil--Where Next?, p. 219; Richard F Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. 222 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1816 ### Event 18781 (668DDB9D) **Date:** 4/4/1965 **Time:** 04:10 **Location:** KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, MS **Description:** Weatherman.

It stops nearby and a door opens. Three beings appear and beckon to him. He approaches the saucer. Two of the three beings appear to be nonhuman, but the third seems to be a youth in his teens. The youth speaks with an accent that Bryant thinks might be Russian and calls himself Yamski. He says that he is from Venus, and then remarks that he wished “Des” was there, as he would understand what is happening. At the close of their conversation, he says that in a month he will return and bring proof of “Mantell.” Ufologists who eventually hear the story immediately associate Yamski with [George Adamski](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FAdamski)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FAdamski) the controversial contactee who died on April 23. Adamski was of Polish background and had a noticeable accent. If this were Adamski, he has lost any signs of aging. Adamski’s friend [Desmond Leslie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond%5FLeslie) was a coauthor of his first book. Captain [Thomas F. Mantell](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/14958603/thomas-francis-mantell)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/14958603/thomas-francis-mantell) piloting an F-51, had been killed in 1948 when he began chasing what he thought was a UFO. According to Bryant, the saucer returns June 7 and leaves some items, including several pieces of metal, allegedly from an F-51. He reports the story to the British UFO Research Association, which launches an investigation. The various items Bryant turns over to the two investigators \(a turbine fitting, metal parts, a broken bulb and fitting, a phial containing silver sand, and a piece of paper on which the words “Adelphos Adelpho” are written\) prove to be mundane and irrelevant to the F-51, according to aeronautical engineer [Leonard](http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?99973) [G. Cramp](http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?99973)[.](http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?99973) In spite of problems with the story, one of the investigators, Eileen Buckle, rushes into print with a book, The Scoriton Mystery. Shortly afterward, Bryant unexpectedly takes ill and dies from a brain tumor on June 24, 1967. The other investigator, Norman Oliver, visits his widow. She says that she is familiar with the story in the book, as her husband had presented it to her first as the script for a science fiction novel. It is only after the investigation is well along that she realizes her husband was trying to sell the story as a real event. She indicates that the supposed items related to Mantell were purchased at a naval surplus store. Alice Wells, head of the Adamski Foundation, dismisses the Scoriton story from the beginning, as does Desmond Leslie. Between their rejection and Oliver’s uncovering of the hoax, few remain to support Bryant except Buckle. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 1040–1044; Story, [pp. 324–326](https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofuf0000unse/page/324/mode/2up); Eileen Buckle, The Scoriton Mystery, Spearman, 1967; Norman Oliver, Sequel to Scoriton, The Author, 1968; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-24-04-uk-scoriton.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-24-04-uk-scoriton.htm) August 19, 2006 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3879 ### Event 18808 (077C2588) **Date:** 4/25/1965 **Location:** SEVILLE, VCT, AUSTRALIA **Description:** Metallic disc seen / several seconds.

It appears to be a disc- shaped object with banks of lights underneath it to their southeast. Tilse estimates its diameter to be 30 feet, Judin as 20 feet, and Burgess as 6 feet. In the moonlight, its color seems to be charcoal. At times, it seems to approach them, then recede. Finally, it rapidly rises to about 300 feet, then it accelerates away to the northeast. Burgess and Judin heard a buzzing sound. Total duration is 40 minutes. Two days later, a circular depression is found nearby close to a telephone line. Tilse says that “tops of trees appear to be burned.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[The James Tilse Report,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%2C1965%2CSep-Oct%2CV%2011%2CN%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 11, no. 5 \(Sept./Oct. 1965\): 13–14; Donald E.

She described it as metallic, about 40 feet wide, and with a row of windows and a dome on top. The domed disc hovered over her cottage property less than 200 feet away, then landed on tripod landing gear that emerged from the underside of the craft. From her roof she was looking down on the landed object. In one of the windows she was able to see an occupant. When the occupant saw her on the roof, he beckoned to another figure that appeared at a second window. Both of them seemed to be rather short--under four feet tall--with large, baldheads, slits for mouths and small noses. They stared at her for what seemed to be a long time. The next thing she recalled was watching the object depart rapidly in the direction of the setting sun. There was a time lapse of at least four hours in her memory. Under self hypnosis, the witness was able to recall walking up to the UFO and being led up a stairway into the vehicle by the two occupants. One of them held a small box that he opened, and inside the box was a dark-colored crystal that gave off a vapor or smoke. He held it in front of her face and the witness jumped back, but when he again passed it close to her face she discovered that the fumes were odorless. The next thing she remembers was being back on her roof watching the object depart. She had headaches following the incident. She would have another UFO encounter three months later. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Fred Merritt case file investigations; David F.

Adams, and a television cameraman Mr. Les Hendy, reported seeing four or five “mysterious objects” floating in the sea 3 miles east of Fraser Island, 150 miles north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia at about 11.30 a.m. Mr. Adams first noticed two of the objects from a distance of about 8 miles while flying over Fraser Island. The weather was clear and the objects appeared to resemble two big dark-coloured logs. They were narrow and up to 100 feet long. As he steered toward them two or three similar but smaller objects appeared near the other two. They did not appear to move, but seemed to “sort of submerge" when the plane was about one mile away from them. From the air they appeared to be lying just below the surface and when “submerging” from sight seemed to do so without disturbing the surface. Mr. Adams was certain that the objects were too big to be fish or sharks, and the wrong shape to be whales. Mr. Hendy regretted that they were too far away from him to film them. Several experts got their heads together and decided that the objects sighted were migrating whales. However, their explanation was soon squashed when part-owner of the Seabrae Hotel--Mr. G. Sampson--and Mrs. V. Grady reported that they had sighted a similar object on the very same day, half-a-mile out between Redcliffe Pier and Redcliffe Point. They watched it for 10 minutes. It was long and black and there appeared to be a black balloon suspended over it. A Fisheries Dept. spokesman commented that it was unlikely to be a whale, because they very seldom come into Morton Bay. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** H.

It runs at full power for 10.5 minutes. Unfortunately, the intense radiation environment causes one of the capacitance gauges to produce erroneous readings. When confronted by one gauge that says the hydrogen propellant tank is nearly empty, and another that says it is a quarter full, and unsure which is correct, the technicians in the control room choose to believe the one that says it is a quarter full. But the tank is indeed nearly empty, and the propellant runs dry. Without liquid hydrogen to cool it, the engine, operating at 2,000° C., quickly overheats and explodes. About a fifth of the fuel is ejected and most of the rest melts. The whole decontamination effort takes 400 people two months to complete, and costs $50,000. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Project Rover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project%5FRover\#Phoebus)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3891 ### Event 18918 (88980AF1) **Date:** 6/25/1965 **Locations:** Carrollton, Ohio; Joseph Stavano's farm **Description:** Frank Stavano and 24 other witnesses hear a loud, inexplicable explosion at his father Joseph’s farm near Carrollton, Ohio.

Talking on the phone in her second-floor bedroom in Lake Forest, Illinois, Pat Harvey sees a flash and hears a commotion or “rustle” outside. When she finishes the conversation, she looks out the window toward her neighbor’s lawn and sees a transparent bubble of light about 100 feet away. Inside the globe are several individuals who look like normal human beings, though slightly shorter \(5 feet tall\) and with skin that looks tanned. They are lying down in a somewhat haphazard arrangement. There are no visible instruments or seats. The object bobs up and down slightly, and the beings’ arms are moving in a way that reminds Harvey of “rowing motions.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 277; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-07-usa-lakeforest.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-07-usa-lakeforest.htm) June 21, 2008 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3894 ### Event 18930 (AB662721) **Date:** 7/1/1965 **Location:** FRAMINGHAM, MASS **Description:** Many observer(s).

Squatting on the ground near the object are two figures about the size of 8-year-old boys, apparently looking at a lavender plant. Masse approaches them to about 20 feet and the figures stand up. They are dressed in gray-green overalls and have smooth, pumpkin-like heads. Their eyes are large and slanted, their mouths have no lips and look like little holes. He hears some grunting sounds, and Masse hints that there is a telepathic communication. One of the figures points a pencil-like object at Masse and he is paralyzed. They enter the UFO through a door and the object shoots off at enormous speed with a whistling sound. It takes Masse another 20 minutes to regain control. Tracks left by the landing gear are found later by Masse and confirmed by gendarmes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Rencontre de Valensole](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rencontre%5Fde%5FValensole)”; NICAP, “[Humanoids near Elliptical Object with Legs on](http://www.nicap.org/650701valensole%5Fdir.htm) [Ground](http://www.nicap.org/650701valensole%5Fdir.htm)”; Clark 1205–1207; Good Above, [pp. 133–134](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/132/mode/2up); G.E.P.A.

At around five o'clock in the morning farmer Maurice Masse, age 41, heard a strange noise and saw an egg-shaped object 30 meters away in a field of lavender. The craft was set on a central pivot with six legs, was about five meters long, and had a door showing two seats back to back. Nearby it were two dwarfs the size of eight-year-old children, with bald heads, normal human eyes, and fine hands with five fingers. They seemed surprised when the witness approached them, and stopped their examination of a plant to aim a small device at him, causing him to become temporarily paralyzed and unable to move. They spoke among themselves in shrill sounds similar to a gargle. The craft took off and "vanished" into the air. Ground traces were found in the field. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 113; Flying Saucer Review, May-June 1965, p. 36; Richard H.

It is about 20 feet in diameter and 9 feet high. The top and bottom are silver gray and the rim in between is glowing greenish-blue. A hollow area at the very top seems to be a glass dome.

When they pass a vacant lot on Rua David Canaberra between the Rua 15 de Novembro and the Rua Alexandra de Motta, they see a light beam coming from a cloud illuminating an area about 33 feet in diameter and hear a buzzing noise. The other boys run, but Adilon remains and sees an oval- shaped object landing in the vacant lot and hovering about 3 feet off the ground. Another smaller object descends and hovers next to the first. Two beings about 5 feet tall emerge from the larger object and walk around it. They are wearing dark clothing and light helmets. After 5 minutes, 3 others emerge from the smaller object and converse with the others. The beings reenter the objects, which take off several minute apart. Adilon gets a headache that remains with him for 5 days.

Five objects are spotted over the Sioux Army Depot \[now closed\] in Sydney, Nebraska, at 1:45 a.m. Two UFOs are seen over the Echo LCF southeast of Pine Bluff at 1:48 a.m. Nine more objects are sighted at 2:50 a.m. The Echo LCF reports six UFOs stacked vertically. A Strategic Air Command team at the H-2 LF northeast of Gurley reports a white UFO directly overhead at 3:00 a.m. The Sioux Army Depot reports five objects going east at 3:35 a.m. Reports of white, round- or oval-shaped objects in various formations, continue solidly at the H- 2 LF for the next 40 minutes. At 4:05 a.m., the Warren base commander calls to say that the Quebec LCF southwest of Chugwater has nine UFOs in sight: four to the NW, three to the NE, and two over Cheyenne. Sightings continue to be reported the next two nights at missile sites assigned to Warren AFB, for a total of 148 objects seen by 143 combat defense force airmen, missile maintenance men, and NCOs. The sheer scope and blatant ostentation of the UFOs’ reported aerial displays over a sensitive atomic missile base is remarkable. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** J.

Alan decides not to try for a second shot. He takes his camera inside the house and runs back outside just in time to see the object rapidly flying away into the night sky.

Campbell takes his 4-by-5 Speed Graphic camera and drives into Sherman, Texas, where he locates Chief of Police Peter McCollum. Together they search for the object and soon see it hanging stationary one mile east of Bells on US Highway 82. The object has a “Mercury capsule” shape at one end, possibly rounded at the other end. Several distinct bands circle the cylinder, with disc-shaped embossments on the surface. He takes four camera exposures, two minutes each at three-minute intervals. The negatives are carefully examined by USAF scientific advisers and astronomical experts. No acceptable explanation can be found for the object recorded on the negatives. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[The Sherman, Texas, Photo Case](http://www.nicap.org/650802sherman%5Fdir.htm)”; “[Sherman 1965,](http://roswellbooks.com/museum/?page%5Fid=657)” Texas UFO Museum and Research Library, February 5, 2014; Patrick Gross, “[The Sherman Case, Texas, USA, 1965](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/sherman65.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3918 ### Event 19156 (5E6A9EE8) **Date:** 8/2/1965 **Location:** Red Sea **Description:** The crew of the Russian steamship Raduga in the Red Sea watch a fiery sphere emerge from the water 2 miles away, causing an enormous pillar of water to rise and collapse.

The object is silent, and a beam of white light is rotating beneath it. He radios his supervisor, but the radio goes dead. One of Heflin’s coworkers offers to send the photos to Life magazine; he does, but Life declines to use them. Soon, someone from NORAD shows up demanding the prints and Heflin turns them over. They are not seen again. The photos are most likely a prank hoax by Heflin using a hubcap, complicated by flawed photographic analyses and investigations. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Santa Ana / Rex Heflin Photos](http://www.nicap.org/650803santaana%5Fdir.htm)”; “[Calif.

It had a transparent dome, was 15 feet in diameter, and was on or near the ground just 50 feet away from them. Next to the craft stood a small four and a half foot tall figure with yellow eyes, and inside the dome was another figure moving about. Frightened, the boys ran from the spot. As they ran they heard a “swishing” sound, and saw the round object rise over the treetops and disappear from sight as it flew out over the lake. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The object then turned and accelerated to the east-northeast. He drove up to 80 mph in pursuit, but it dwindled in size until it resembled a star high in the sky. It moved up and down several times, then finally darted to the south out over the Atlantic Ocean. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** J.

At that moment, a beam of light enveloped the car from above, then levitated it from the road and carried it through the sky for an unknown distance, at such an altitude that the witness could see the coastline and a peninsula, La Punta, west of the city. He was paralyzed and unable to move during this process. The car was brought to the ground near the shore and he could hear waves breaking. Then, a voice spoke to him in perfect Spanish, and asked him to get out of the car. He did so and "could barely make out" little men with big ears. No UFO was seen, but there was a luminous screen nearby, on which was displayed, "We are using calming rays on you to remove your fear." He then asked several questions, in response to which a spokesperson told him that they came from a place more distant than Mars, that they had visited Earth on various occasions in the past, and that they did not appear in public because that would cause panic. Asked if they knew about music, he heard they had "something that might be considered as music, but that it had the power of raising the feelings to the highest exaltation." After that, his car was transported back through the air to the spot from which it had been picked up. He told his story to an uncle, an official in the Peruvian police, who informed reporters. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It lands on a tree-lined hill out of view and the whining sound fades away. Gibson walks about a half-mile to take a look and briefly sees a “being,” about 3–3.5 feet tall, watching him from behind a tree at the top of the hill. It quickly vanishes and he hears a rush of air. He reaches the spot but sees no footprints. About 40 feet south of the tree he finds a burned area about 15–20 feet in diameter and three rectangular impressions in the shape of a triangle. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jerome Clark, “[Iowa’s Bashful Humanoid,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201975%20V%2021%20N%203-4.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 21, no. 3/4 \(November 1975\): 52–53 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3927 ### Event 19257 (554AEC90) **Date:** 8/11/1965 **Description:** At 7:25 p.m. a 62-year-old woman named Clarkson reported observing two silver objects shaped like four-leaf clovers hovering over the suburb of Menands, Albany County, New York.

It was surrounded with orange lights that weakened as a blue source came on, very intense for about 3 sec then all lights disappeared as the object was about 700 m away. This was followed by a sort of "shock-wave" effect, and tree leaves were shaken. The witness entered his house and called the Air Force. Twenty minutes later his vision became hazy and his eyes were painful. He gradually lost vision in both eyes, and his entire body was "sunburned." Medical examination compared the symptoms to ultraviolet exposure. His vision came back gradually over a period of several days. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** Atic ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_677 ### Event 19269 (8C01D078) **Date:** 8/13/1965 **Time:** 0700 **Location:** Renton, Washington **Description:** Ellen G.

They had disappeared when the running girls looked back. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** FSR 66, 2 ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_678 ### Event 19270 (46EE45C6) **Date:** 8/13/1965 **Location:** Portsmouth, NH **Description:** Portsmouth (NH) Herald editorial: "Perhaps we really do have visitors from somewhere beyond our present ken." **Type:** sighting **Reference:** [The UFO Evidence by Richard H.

Leonard Chalupiak has just put his car into his garage at Baden, Pennsylvania, when he sees a disc-shaped object about 300 feet in diameter flying in front of the moon toward the north at about 50 mph and 2,300 feet away. It is surrounded with orange lights that weaken as a blue light comes on, which is intense for about 3 seconds. Then all the lights disappear and a sort of “shock wave” that shakes the tree leaves commences. The witness goes into his house and calls the Air Force. About 20 minutes later his vision becomes hazy, his eyes grow painful, and he gradually loses vision in both eyes. He notices his entire body is sunburned. A medical examination indicates exposure to ultraviolet radiation. His vision returns gradually over several days. The Air Force labels it a hoax, perhaps confusing it with the Beaver, Pennsylvania, hoax photo of August 8. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Object Crosses Moon / Medical Effects on Witness](http://www.nicap.org/650813baden%5Fdir.htm)”; Vallée, Magonia, [p. 313](https://archive.org/details/passporttomagoni0000vall/page/312/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3929 ### Event 19272 (3D85FA87) **Date:** 8/13/1965 **Description:** As he drove away after dropping off his two daughters Mr. Ryerson noticed two unusual "persons" walking along the side of the road next to a bean field. His two teenagers, Ellen Grace Ryerson, age 16, and Laura Jean Ryerson, 13, in Renton, Washington approached these two very unusual beings, while walking next to the bean field at seven o'clock in the morning. The little men were grey colored "like stone", had no hair, and had large bulging eyes. The first “person” was described as like a gnome and wrinkled. He wore a funny little hat. He was dancing and jumping around in front of the other being as they approached. He was making a cackling sound that the girls thought sounded like laughter. The other being was approximately 5 feet tall. He had a very unusual head. His face was gray but the back of his head had a bulbous extension with veins showing through it. It pulsated. On the rest of his cranium there were large pores and this part of his head was white. His eyes were described as like a frog’s eyes. In his mouth he had a little pipe, and he was blowing on it and making a shrill sound. The taller one wore shiny clothes, like satin. Both beings wore sleveless purple vests over white coveralls. Ellen feared that they were going to grab her, so she yelled at her sister to run. The girls fled, and when they looked back after running 50 feet the beings had completely vanished. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jerome Clark, Flying Saucer Review, March-April 1966, p. 10; David F.

It disappeared behind a hill a third of a mile away, and the young man walked over to the hill to investigate. When about 150 yards from the site, he saw a humanoid being 3.5 feet tall, with a baldhead, peeking out from behind a tree. He did not see the figure leave, but a minute or so later he saw a “blur” and heard a rush of air. At the landing site, in an old quarry, he found a 15-20 foot circle of burnt glass, within which were three indentations of 5” x 12” and an inch deep. The encounter lasted about a minute and occurred during a minor wave of reports from Iowa and elsewhere. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ralph DeGraw, APRO Bulletin, January-February 1975, p. 9; David F.

At 8:00 p.m. that same evening a motorist had a close encounter with a black, 90-meter-wide domed disc, which hovered silently over a highway southwest of Itabira, Minas Gerais province, Brazil. The craft hovered just 1.2 meters above the surface of the road, and it followed the contours of the terrain when it departed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) Baltimore Sun, August 16, 1965; John Keel, Strange Creatures From Time and Space, p. 151; (2) Irene Granchi, UFO Abductions and Reports from Brazil, p. 39 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5004 ### Event 19280 (85548DEC) **Date:** 8/14/1965 **Description:** At around 10:00 p.m. two youngsters, Marc & Luc Lafreniere, were in their home in Ville Lemoyne, Quebec, Canada when a strong light attracted them to the window.

As she is returning home, she sees an unusual figure in the ditch to her right. It turns and waves at her, then stumbles as it climbs out of the ditch. Something \(a large bird?\) flies up in the air a few feet from the car. She steps on the gas and goes home, where her husband asks her where she has been because it is now 12:25 a.m. In 1977, she undergoes hypnotic regression with hypnotist Ron Owen and recalls an abduction experience where she undergoes some type of examination. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 278–279; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-08-16-usa-sedalia.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-08-16-usa-sedalia.htm) August 25, 2008 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3930 ### Event 19298 (8E392ECA) **Date:** 8/16/1965 **Description:** At midnight in Brough, Durham County, England three women reported that their sheep and cattle were agitated and noisy when a dark shape with two orange lights appeared in the sky. The close encounter lasted 75 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, FSR, November-December 1970, p. 28 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5077 ### Event 19299 (91656529) **Date:** 8/16/1965 **Description:** A woman was driving home at 11:00 p.m. and was within a mile of her house in Sedalia, Missouri when she saw a light in a field with “smoke” around it. In a nearby ditch she noticed two large “birds,” one of which flew at her car. She arrived home at 12:25 a.m. unable to account for the lapse of time. Under hypnotic regression she recalled that the “birds” in the ditch where in fact two entities wearing spacesuits. One carried a sack on its back, into which the other was putting clumps of grass and soil samples. They were “bouncing up & down, their arms flopping at their sides” in a “stiff” manner suggestive of robots. One started to come out of the ditch, slipped back, then emerged and stood in front of her; its helmet beginning to glow brilliantly. She could now see that its head was wrapped up in tape like a mummy, with only the eyes visible. It stood slightly over five feet tall. At this point a football-shaped UFO landed on the road ahead of her car. Two beings with slightly pointed heads & “wrap around” eyes emerged from the object and opened her car door. They conducted her inside the craft, assuring her telepathically that she would not be hurt. The air inside the UFO was “heavy” and difficult to breathe. Once she was inside they flew the ship over a nearby field, which caused its interior lights to change from white to red. One of the entities, who did most of the communicating, appeared to be a scientist or doctor, and he wore an insignia of three rings on his chest. Another had a red lighting flash symbol on his uniform, and she took him to be the pilot. A third entity appeared to be a woman. All three stood 5’10” tall. The “doctor” put an object of some kind over her head, and she felt as if something were going into her brain. A round black object was then taken out of the wall, and with it “pictures” were taken of her; the object glowed blue when the pictures were taken. On a screen on the wall appeared a pattern: seven vertical lines with markings between them, which she thought must be some type of tabular representation of her brain and body. Two more figures, about a foot shorter than the other three, made their appearance. These beings resembled “gnomes,” and they aroused fear in the woman. They appeared old because their foreheads were wrinkled. She was told by the "doctor" that they and the “mummies” came from different planets. Finally she was led back to her car; the UFO ascended, and then vanished while still at low altitude. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Schumaker and her mother, Mrs. W. H. Blackburn, are awakened by an explosion in their backyard in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The sound seems to rise and travel west. They see a bright golden cigar hovering in the north. The object moves to the right then to the left, then up and down, left again, then disappears behind some high oak trees. The next morning, the witnesses find a 6-inch-wide circle of depressed sod that is worn down to the soil. The circle is 12 feet in diameter. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Ted Phillips, [Physical Traces Associated with](http://cufos.org/books/Physical%5FTraces.pdf) [UFO Sightings](http://cufos.org/books/Physical%5FTraces.pdf), CUFOS, 1975, p. 37 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3932 ### Event 19316 (427FD7E0) **Date:** 8/19/1965 **Locations:** Cherry Creek, New York; Niagara Falls Air Force Base; Lockport Air Force Station **Description:** 8:20–9:00 p.m. Harold Butcher, 16, is milking the cows in his father’s barn in Cherry Creek, New York, and listening to radio station WKBW. Just outside, a 3-year old bull is tied by its nose to a metal pipe. Harold hears the bull make a noise “like I have never heard come from an animal before.” Looking out the window, he sees the animal is bending the pipe. Simultaneously, he sees a metallic-looking, football-shaped UFO about 50 feet long and approximately 20 feet thick hovering just above the trees an estimated 450 feet from the barn. Slowly, the object descends behind a maple tree, emitting a red vapor from around its edges and a “beep-beep” sound. Meanwhile, the radio is emitting static, even though WKBW usually has a clear signal. Harold calls the house on an intercom, then runs outside. As he approaches the bull, the UFO rises and moves behind some clouds “as fast as a snap of my fingers” emitting red vapor toward the ground, then bounces back to the ship as it hovers about 10 feet in the air. The noise also increases to a level approximating a sonic boom as it goes up. As the UFO disappears, the clouds turn green. Inside, the boy’s mother, Mrs. William Butcher, notes that there is “definite interference” in her radio reception. Harold’s brother, Robert, also goes outside and the two boys see that the UFO has reappeared, this time hovering over a pine grove. It ascends again, emitting the red vapor and turning the clouds green. Others in the house include William Butcher Jr. and Kathleen Brougham, a friend. They do not see the object. It returns twice at 8:45 and 9:00 p.m., finally disappearing to the southwest. Trooper E. J. Haas and a fellow officer arrive on the scene shortly thereafter. As they all walk out to inspect the area of the initial sighting, they notice a pungent odor. Harold and the young daughter suffer from upset stomachs. Mrs. Butcher says the cows produce only one can of milk that evening, as opposed to their usual two and a half cans. Harold discovers a purple, oily-smelling liquid and gives a sample of it to the state police, who turn it over to Capt. James A. Dorsey and five others from Niagara Falls Air Force Base \[now Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station\], who come to investigate the report the following afternoon. When NICAP investigator Jeffrey Gow arrives on the scene, he notices the foot-tall grass in the area “seemed to be bent over in long curved sweeps.” Radar targets are picked up between 8:00–8:30 p.m. by an AN/FPS-6 Long Range Height Finder Radar of the 763rd Radar Squadron at Lockport Air Force Station \[now closed\] near Shawnee, New York. The target is sighted near the upper limit of the radar. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Close Encounter Has Radar Evidence](http://www.nicap.org/650819cherrycreek%5Fdir.htm)”; NICAP, “[Cherry Creek \(Butcher\) Trace Case](http://www.nicap.org/650819cherrycreek2%5Fdir.htm)”; Center for UFO Studies, \[[case documents](http://www.cufos.org/cases/1965%5F08%5F19%5FUS%5FNY%5FCherry-Creek%5FGALGANSKI%5FButcher-CE-II.pdf)\]; “[Landing Probed by NICAP, AF,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/028%20AUG-SEPT%201965.pdf)” UFO Investigator 3, no. 4 \(July/Aug. 1965\): 7; “[The Cherry Creek Incident,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201965%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Nov./Dec. 1965, p. 7; [Schopick](http://cufos.org/books/A%5FStudy%5Fof%5FSecondary%5FEffects-An%5FUnpublished%5FManuscript%5Fof%5FUFO%5FE-M%5FCases.pdf), pp. 178–184; Hynek UFO Report, [pp. 170–172](https://archive.org/details/hynekuforeport00alle/page/170/mode/2up); Robert A.

On going to investigate what they believed was a car wreck; they found a circular object 20 feet in diameter, with a transparent dome on top. A bright amber light kept flashing around the edge, and flickering red and blue beams were shining downwards. The three men approached to within 60 feet of the UFO, and could see through an open doorway instruments and lights inside it. Three human-like figures were seen outside the object, one apparently adjusting the light beam projector, and the other two handing him tools. They all moved very slowly, “as if under water.” They were dressed in metallic-looking, silvery white, close-fitting coveralls, with wide white belts, dark epaulets, and shiny helmets. At one point two of the “men” turned and looked directly at the spot where the witnesses were watching from, as though knowing the operation was being observed, but simply returned to the repairs. The object stood on telescopic legs with curved dish-like footpads, although they were uncertain as to whether there were three or four legs. Crespo’s son became so frightened that he became nauseated, so they went back to their car. After awhile they saw the object take off, and the light moving around the edge was now a brilliant red and the vertical white beams had been extinguished. Just before it “took off like lighting,” it became too bright to look at. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

1967 - Two newspaper delivery cyclists, Jones and Hollander, had come to a bridge in Crewe, Cheshire, England at 8:30 a.m. when they saw a hovering domed disc-shaped UFO. It had a transparent dome with an antenna, an elliptical body, and an undercarriage with three dark circles and many wires or tubes that were evident. A very well documented report.At 8:55 p.m. two witnesses in a residential neighborhood at Shrewbridge Crescent in Nantwich, Cheshire, England viewed in the sky what they described as a yellow elongated rugby ball with a dome through binoculars. It was as bright as the full moon, and estimated to be half a mile away, at 25 degrees elevation. It flew in an arc, hovered, and then went in front of a dark cloud, behind another low cloud. It made a sound like a turbojet. A shiny white cigar-shaped object was seen by five witnesses in Sandbach, Cheshire, England at 9:00 p.m. It was brighter than the moon and had blurry edges, but appeared to be solid. It flew from south to northwest low in the sky, and went in front of a black cloud. It was viewed for 30 seconds and made no sound. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Roger H.

They stopped to watch it and saw the craft fly within 30 m, casting a huge shadow when it intercepted the moonlight. They felt a heat wave and drove away in fear, but returned to the site a second time, only to turn around when they found the object was still there. Goode had been bitten by an animal before the sighting, and his left index finger swelled and bled freely. After exposure to the light from the object, the pain was gone, and the wound cured unnaturally. Later that evening, two men found him at a restaurant and described the object in detail, adding he should keep future encounters to himself. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** NICAP Aug.,65 ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_694 ### Event 19396 (270797FF) **Date:** 9/3/1965 **Time:** 2 AM **Location:** Exeter, New Hampshire **Description:** Witnesses: Exeter Patrolmen Eugene Bertrand, Jr. and David Hunt, and Norman Muscarello.

Bertrand Jr.](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/44131765/eugene-f%5F-bertrand) comes across a woman parked on State Highway 101. “She was real upset,” he says, “and told me that a red glowing object had chased her.” Around 2:00 a.m., while walking home to Exeter on Route 150 \(Amesbury Road\) near Kensington, New Hampshire, teenager [Norman J. Muscarello](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/43739662/norman-j%5F-muscarello) is terrorized by a large object with four or five bright red lights that approaches from nearby woods and hovers over a field. Horses are spooked. Muscarello gets a ride to the Exeter police station, pale and shaken, and reports the incident at 2:24 a.m. Officer Bertrand drives him back to the field along Route 150 to investigate. When he is called to investigate Muscarello’s report, the earlier incident causes him to pay attention. At first Bertrand and Muscarello see nothing, but when Bertrand flashes a light around the field around 3:00 a.m., a huge dark object with red flashing lights rises up over the trees, moving back and forth, tilts, and comes toward them. They both see pulsating red lights that dim from left to right then right to left in a 5- 4-3-2-1 then 1-2-3-4-5 pattern. Each cycle takes about 2 seconds. The object hovers for several minutes, and everything is silent except for the dogs and horses. Then it darts, turns sharply, slows down, and begins to move away. Another patrolman, [David R. Hunt](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/135259184/david-r%5F-hunt)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/135259184/david-r%5F-hunt) pulls up and sees the pulsating lights and the UFO. Bertrand says the lights are always in a line and at a 60° angle; when the object moves, the lower lights are always forward of the others. In the daytime, the police station calls Pease AFB \[now Pease Air National Guard Base\] in Portsmouth to reconfirm the incident. By 1:00 p.m., 2–4 police officers arrive to interview the three witnesses at length. Journalist [John G. Fuller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%5FG.%5FFuller) investigates the case during the next month. He finds a huge gap between media coverage and local perceptions.

McCoy](https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/clute-tx/billy-mccoy-6019911) and Robert Goode are patrolling Highway 36 between West Columbia and Damon, Texas. They see a dark-gray triangular object, 150–200 feet long and 40–50 feet thick at the middle, with a long, bright, pulsing, purple light on the right side and a long blue light on the left side. It approaches to within 150 feet from the highway and 100 feet in the air. Purple light illuminates the ground beneath the object and the interior of the police car, and the object casts a shadow in the moonlight. Goode feels heat on his left arm; an alligator bite on his left index finger is suddenly relieved of pain, later healing rapidly but unnaturally. They drive away in fear but return later that night to find the object still there. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Dark Grey Disc Shadows Police Car](http://www.nicap.org/650903damon%5Fdir.htm)”; “[UAO Pursues Police,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201965%2009%2000%20-%20September-October.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Sept./Oct. 1965, pp. 1, 3; Clark III 355–357; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 308; Michael D.

There were three military guards on duty, including the main witness, Robert Mark. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UNICAT, case # 618, citing Lawrence Fawcett & Barry Greenwood, Clear Intent: The Government Cover-up of the UFO Experience, p. 58 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5592 ### Event 19404 (B1F5E1F0) **Date:** 9/3/1965 **Description:** At 1:30 a.m. Mr. D. Winters, a school teacher, was driving in Ipswich, Massachusetts when he saw a yellow UFO hovering over the golf course. It looked like an inverted saucer with white lights around the rim.

The two sheriff officers in the car, McCoy and Goode, saw the huge illuminated object speed toward their patrol car, hover, and illuminate them and the surrounding terrain in a purple light. They reported that there were bright lights on either end of the object: a weak blue light was seen on the extreme right of the object, which came out in two steps, and a purple light on the left, which lit the ground and bathed the car's interior.The UFO hovered within 30 meters of them, casting a huge shadow when it intercepted the moonlight . They felt a sensation of heat, and drove away in fear. Later they returned to investigate and had another close encounter. One of the officers reported that a skin lession he had healed rapidly after their UFO close encounter.Goode had been bitten by an animal before the sighting, and his left index finger swelled and bled freely. After exposure to the light from the object the pain was gone, and the wound cured unnaturally quickly. Later that evening, two men found him at a restaurant and described the object in detail, adding he should keep future encounters to himself. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Coral E.

Gorzelle, age 45, had remembered going to bed, but suddenly found herself awake and driving on a rural asphalt road near Des Plaines, Illinois. Then she came to a spot where a man was standing on the road, waving a lantern. She stopped, believing there had been an accident, and got out. The man was tall, normal in appearance except for a very high forehead, and was dressed in a white coverall with a metal buckle at the waist. She was led across the grass to an area that was suddenly brightly illuminated from a door opening in a craft, which she described as a large round mass sitting on legs, about 100 feet from the road. There were three more cars stopped along the road, and the occupants of these vehicles were also being escorted into the craft. Their abductors were all over 6 feet tall, with very high foreheads, and bald. Inside the vessel were two “normal appearing” men, also in white coveralls, one with white hair. He was the only one who spoke during the experience, and he did so in a language unknown to the witness. The other “human” looked Italian, and was younger. The four tall occupants each appeared to be in charge of the four abductees and were identical in appearance. The room was filled with electronic equipment and control knobs, and telepathically she was told she would not recall the incident. The next thing she remembered was being led outside again by her “host,” and being helped into her car. The other three men were likewise being assisted to their cars. Mrs Gorzelle made a U-turn, and drove straight home, where she went directly to bed. Self-hypnosis indicated that a medical examination had been conducted, and that this was actually her second abduction experience. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It told him not to be afraid, and to put down his gun. Once he did that, an oval-shaped door opened under the lower part of the object, and a man came out walking slowly towards him. The man was described as six feet tall, appearing to be about 30 years of age. He was dressed in a one-piece tight-fitting suit made of some sort of metallic coating, resembling aluminum or chrome, but dull reflecting. He also wore a helmet that was very tight-fitting on his skull. On his side he carried an odd-looking sidearm with a barrel about the size of a regular flashlight, but instead of a hole in it, it had some sort of oval lens of a purplish-bluish color. He spoke to the witness in a very refined voice, telling him “Don’t be alarmed, I am not here to cause you any injury or harm.” The man told the witness that he was the captain of his craft, and invited him onboard for a brief tour. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It is dark in color and positioned at a 45° angle from the horizon. It appears to be creating its own cloud screen. Suddenly a small object falls out of the tail and descends slowly in a fluttering fashion. Near the ground the small object stabilizes, emits coal-black smoke from its top, and then rises upward faster and faster. Three more objects leave the large one, each taking 10–12 minutes. They go off in different directions. After the last one leaves, a white cloud forms around the large object, which remains in the sky with other normal white clouds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Herbert S.

Michel Figuet on the Junon goes into the coming tower and gets six pairs of binoculars that he distributes to companions. There are 300 witnesses, including four officers on the Junon, three officers on the Daphné, a dozen French sailors, and personnel of the weather observatory. All witnesses aboard the Junon see the object as a large ball of light or a disc on edge arriving from the west. It moves slowly, horizontally, at a distance estimated at 6 miles south of the ships, from west to east. It leaves a whitish trace similar to the glow of a TV screen. When it was directly south of the ships the object drops toward the earth, makes two complete loops, then hovers in the midst of a faint halo. Figuet watches the object vanish in the center of its glow “like a bulb turned off.” The trail and the halo remain visible in the sky for a full minute. At 9:45 p.m. the halo reappears at the same place, and the object switches on again. It rises, makes two more loops, and flies away to the west, where it disappears at 9:50 p.m. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacques Vallée, “[Estimates of Power Optical Output in Six](https://www.scientificexploration.org/docs/12/jse%5F12%5F3%5Fvallee%5F1.pdf) [Cases of Unexplained Aerial Objects with Defined Luminosity Characteristics,](https://www.scientificexploration.org/docs/12/jse%5F12%5F3%5Fvallee%5F1.pdf)” Journal of Scientific Exploration 12, no. 3 \(1998\): 348–350 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3942 ### Event 19494 (CFA112D6) **Date:** 9/25/1965 **Description:** At 9:55 a.m. in Chisholm, Minnesota Bett Diamon saw five orange lights flying in a row at a high speed, and then execute an abrupt turn.

It is silver-gray with swept-back wings, about 16 feet long, a wingspan of about 12 feet, and its fuselage is about 4-5 feet deep. He rides over and examines it. The exterior is irregular, “like a waffle.” A transparent dome covers the cockpit. Through it he can see complicated instruments \(knobs, dials, and switches\), a TV screen, and two transparent \(like Plexiglas\) bucket seats. There are no visible motors, propellers, jets, insignia, or identifying marks of any kind. It has an exterior door about 2 feet wide and 3 feet high that is open about 2 inches. His horse is extremely skittish, so he ties it to a tree and returns on foot. He spends 10–15 minutes examining it and can see no landing gear \(although it seems to be suspended 18–20 inches off the ground\) or seams of any kind. He realizes he can go inside the door but is a bit too scared to even touch the object, and has to return to chores anyway. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, Signet, 1968, pp. 87–102 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3950 ### Event 19549 (DA3610A4) **Date:** 10/16/1965 **Time:** 12:00? **Location:** SPRING GROVE, PA **Description:** 50cm chrome saucer lands near schoolhouse.

[Arthur A. Strauch](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/3506478/arthur-alfred-strauch), a Sibley County deputy sheriff, is the first to spot a strange object that seems to be 2,000 feet above the ground and a quarter of a mile distant in the northwest sky. After watching for about 10 minutes from the car, the group drives down the road about a half mile and stops. Strauch observes it both with the naked eye and through 7x35 binoculars. At first they hear no sound, but as the object flies over them, Donald Martin Grewe describes the sound as a “whistling whine.” Strauch snaps a photograph just as the object begins to move. The object then flies into the wind for several hundred feet, then stops for a few seconds, at which time its lights change from bright white to dull orange, alternating several times. It then moves toward the southeast at a high rate of speed and disappears out of sight. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[The St. George Multiple-Witness](http://www.nicap.org/651021st.george%5Fdir.htm) [Photo Case](http://www.nicap.org/651021st.george%5Fdir.htm)”; “[Deputy Snaps UAO Color Photo,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201965%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Nov./Dec. 1965, pp. 1, 3; Story, [pp. 351–352](https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofuf0000unse/page/350/mode/2up); Patrick Gross, “[The St. George Multiple-Witness Sighting and Photograph, USA, 1965](http://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/stgeorge65.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3951 ### Event 19560 (513B063E) **Date:** 10/22/1965 **Location:** Canhotinho, Brazil **Description:** Approximate date.

Geof Gray-Cobb, a Canadian technician working with the Deep Space Instrumentation Facility \[now the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory\] in Gauteng, South Africa, in tracking [Mariner 4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariner%5F4)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariner%5F4) is present when the spacecraft’s signal strength begins rising at a point when it should not have. The team alerts the Jet Propulsion Lab. The signal strength is now so high that the instruments are clicking as they max out. Gray- Cobb says the “raw radio energy” is coming in indecipherable “blips and dashes.” Nothing can be seen visually. Eight minutes later, everything goes silent. JPL later asks them to point their dish in the direction it was pointing when they picked up the signal. They do, but forget to correct for the earth’s rotation. Nonetheless, they get the signal again, which means it is a local source. Nothing is visible in the sky, but a sound sweep reveals that the source is a perfect circle 2° in diameter. The team directs a packet of radio pulses at the source, but it falls silent. Two months later, Gray-Cobb discovers that the pages for the event are gone from the log; the tape recording of the event is also missing. The manager tells him that two men with “authorization” had come three days after the event to confiscate the tapes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Michael D.

José Camilo Filho is walking through a field near the city cemetery in Canhotinho, Pernambuco, Brazil, when he runs across two little men only 3 feet high with whitish hair sitting next to a tube 4 feet tall and resting on the ground. When they see Camilo, they jump up in a disorganized fashion, colliding with each other. One picks up the tube and the other points a straw at Camilo, who runs ahead. He decides to return and take a closer look, but the men and tube are gone. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, “[The Humanoids in Latin America,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-SI%201966%20N%201%2CThe%20Humanoids.pdf)” in Charles Bowen, ed., The Humanoids, special issue of FSR, Oct./Dec. 1966, p. 45; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-10-22-brazil-canhotinho.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-10-22-brazil-canhotinho.htm) July 27, 2008; Brazil 75 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3953 ### Event 19563 (E16DD476) **Date:** 10/22/1965 **Description:** On or about this date Jose Camilo Filho saw two creatures near a landed object in Canhotinho, Pernambuco State, Brazil. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 711, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 84 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7020 ### Event 19564 (C3D05870) **Date:** 10/23/1965 **Time:** 19:20 **Location:** LONG PRAIRIE, MN **Description:** Car malfunctions due to EME (electro-magnetic effects). 35' rocket on fins / road. 6"cans walk. / r55p206+/ r249p104. **Type:** sighting **Reference:** The APRO BULLETIN: Monthly.

He then observed an object 10 m tall, about 3 m in diameter, shaped somewhat like a rocket, sitting on fins on the road. Three creatures with "tripod legs and matchstick arms," brownish-black in color, having no eyes or facial features, stood in a large, lighted circle under it, facing the witness for a few moments before disappearing in the intense light. The object rose straight up for 400 m, with a high-pitched humming sound, stopped and vanished. The car then resumed normal operation by itself. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** FSR 66, 3 ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_712 ### Event 19567 (C1A99FD8) **Date:** 10/23/1965 **Locations:** State Highway 27; Long Prairie, Minnesota **Description:** Night. KEYL-AM radio announcer James F. Townsend, 19, is driving on State Highway 27 four miles east of Long Prairie, Minnesota, when he slams on his brakes to avoid hitting a rocket-like device resting on three legs or fins. As his car skids to a stop 20 feet from the object, the vehicle’s motor and electrical system die. The object looks like it is made of stainless steel, stands 30–40 feet high, and is 10 feet in diameter. In a circle of light under it, Townsend sees three things that resemble beer cans with “tripod legs and three matchstick arms.” They have no eyes, but Townsend feels as if they are looking at him. He gets out of the car to try to knock one over, but they come over to him and they stand there looking at him. Eventually they turn around and “scoot under the ship,” disappearing into the light beneath it. An ear-splitting humming sound emanates from the UFO, which assumes a bright illumination and shoots off. The Todd County sheriff and UFO investigators assume that Townsend, a deeply religious man, is sincere. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[‘Space Things’](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/95125276/) [Stop His Car,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/95125379/)” Minneapolis Star, October 25, 1965, pp. 1, 4; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 308; “[‘Little, Little Men’ in Minn.,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201965%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Nov./Dec. 1965, p. 8; Clare John Jansen, “Little Tin Men in Minnesota,” Fate 19, no. 2 \(February 1966\): 36–40; Clark III 280; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1965-10-23-usa-longprairie.htm), January 5, 2008 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3954 ### Event 19568 (223F6B91) **Date:** 10/23/1965 **Description:** James Townsend, age 19, a radio announcer for KEYL Radio, had a close encounter with a UFO and three creatures at about 7:15 p.m. on a road about four miles east of Long Prairie, Minnesota. As he was driving around a curve in the road he saw an upright, rocket-like object straddling the road. It was about 30 or 40 feet high and about 10 feet in diameter, resting on legs or fins. His car engine stalled, the lights and radio went out, and he slammed on the brakes and stopped twenty feet in front of it. His first thought was to knock it over with the car so he would have some evidence, but the engine had already stalled. Then he got out with the idea of trying to push it over by hand.

"When I got to the front of my car, three creatures that looked like individual tin cans on tripods, and were six inches tall, came from behind the rocket. They didn't have eyes that I could see, but I knew they were looking at me. I stopped. I didn't have any desire to get closer. There was no sound--just dead silence. It seemed like ages as we looked at each other. Then they went up into the rocket, which had a bright colorless light glowing out of the bottom. There was a loud hum. The rocket went up and disappeared. When the light on the bottom went out after it was in the air, my car radio and light came on, and my engine started without having to touch the starter."

Townsend said his car had an automatic transmission and he had placed the selector lever in "park." Townsend said his heart was pounding and his legs were like rubber. He drove at high speed back to Long Prairie to report his close encounter. Townsend said the craft took off, looking "just like a flashlight that is turned on and then lifted up from the table with the light at the bottom." That night several hunters in the Long Prairie area claimed to have seen a strong light above them that lit up the ground. Other hunters reported seeing a lighted object circle around and around in the sky over their farm. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bob Gribble, Looking Back October 1965, National UFO Reporting Center website; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 712, citing Flying Saucer Review **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7044 ### Event 19569 (FB9BAD74) **Date:** 10/25/1965 **Location:** Quincy Center UFO group **Description:** The [Betty and Barney Hill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney%5Fand%5FBetty%5FHill) story is publicly revealed in an article by reporter [John H.

Over 30 million people and 80,000 square miles are left without electricity for up to 13 hours. The cause of the failure is the setting of a protective relay on one of the transmission lines from the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Station No. 2 in Queenston, Ontario, near Niagara Falls. Prior to and coincident with the blackout, there are a number of reports of unusual lights in Syracuse and Niagara Falls, New York, and Holliston, Massachusetts, and there is speculation that the blackout is related to UFO activity in some way. But there is no evidence of a direct connection. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Northeast blackout of 1965](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast%5Fblackout%5Fof%5F1965)”; “[New Clues to UFO Electrical](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/029%20NOV-DEC%201965.pdf) [Interference,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/029%20NOV-DEC%201965.pdf)” UFO Investigator 3, no. 5 \(Nov./Dec. 1965\): 3–4; “[The Question of the Power Blackouts,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201965%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Nov./Dec. 1965, pp. 4–6; John G.

He hears a “sound, like a whippoorwill whistling outside my twelfth-story window.” He steps to the window and sees 2 luminous UFOs hovering nearby, one orange, the other blue. He hears voices from the UFOs in his head, telling him they are fearful of earth because humans are messing around with “unknown quantities” that might disrupt the balance of the universe. They claim the blackout is a small demonstration of their power and ask Whitman to do what he can to fight malice, prejudice, and hate on earth.

Two fisherman, Mr. R. D. Hanning, age 41, skipper of the fishing vessel Eleoneai, and Mr. W. J. Johnson made the sighting. They had set out from Bluff, the port of Invercargill, New Zealand, to tend pots in the area of Stewart Island, the southernmost part of New Zealand. At 11:30 a.m. they were about half a mile off Rugged Islands when they saw a strange craft come out of the water. Its tapered structure rose about 15 feet above the water and measured 5 feet high at the top and 12 feet at the water line. Then, about 30 feet away, a second box-shaped object, about 10 feet long and 5 feet high, was seen. There was no sign of any periscope or railing and nothing but the 'tower' and 'box' were visible. The water was smooth and the objects were in clear view 300 yards away. After 10 seconds there was suddenly a great surging of water and both object vanished beneath the surface. Both men were rather startled at this display and in fact were somewhat frightened by it. They hung around for a few minutes, decided not to wait any longer, and steamed off. The water at the spot where they had made the sighting was about 30 fathoms deep to a sandy bottom. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Otago Daily Times, November 18, 1965; Henk J.

It streaks over the Detroit, Michigan–Windsor, Ontario, area, reportedly drops hot metal debris over Michigan and northern Ohio starting some grass fires and causes sonic booms in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area. It is generally assumed and reported by the press to be a meteor after authorities discount other proposed explanations such as a plane crash, errant missile test, or reentering satellite debris. However, eyewitnesses in the small village of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, claim something has crashed in the woods. A boy sees the object land; his mother [Frances Kalp](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/134458868/frances-margaret-kalp) sees a wisp of blue smoke rising from the woods and alerts local radio station WHJB. Another observer reports feeling a vibration and “a thump” about the time the object reportedly lands. Others from Kecksburg, including local volunteer fire department members \(Carl Metz and Paul Shipco\), report seeing an object in the shape of an acorn and about as large as a Volkswagen Beetle. Writing resembling Egyptian hieroglyphs is also said to be in a band around the base of the object. A reporter and news director for WHJB, [John J. Murphy](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/129235426/john-j-murphy)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/129235426/john-j-murphy) arrives on the scene of the event before authorities have arrived, in response to several calls to the station from alarmed citizens. He takes several photographs and conducts interviews with witnesses. His former wife Bonnie Millslagle later reports that all but one roll of the film is confiscated by military personnel. WHJB office manager Mabel Mazza describes one of the pictures: “It was very dark and it was with a lot of trees around and everything. And I don’t know how far away from the site he was. But I did see a picture of a sort of a cone-like thing. It’s the only time I ever saw it.” Witnesses further report that an intense military presence, most notably the US Army, is secures the area, orders civilians out, seals the area within 2 hours of the event, and then removes an object on a flatbed truck. The military claims they have searched the woods and can find “absolutely nothing.” The official explanation of the widely seen fireball is that it is a mid-sized meteor, as suggested, for example, by University of Michigan astronomer [William P.

It was shaped like a cigar, but with the rear end cut off on a bevel, and it bore a red and white blinking light. The front had a transparent surface and through it Jones could see a very stockily built, six-foot tall occupant. The being appeared to be hiding his face from the witness. He wore a tight-fitting headpiece, continuous with the coveralls, that obscured the hair and ears. Jones did however observe one eye, which he said was larger than normal sized and set more toward the side of the head. The face also had a wide nose and jowls. The complexion of the face was dark bronze, and the entity was wearing a one-piece brown coverall. The object was less than 60 feet off the ground and approximately 150 feef from the left side of the road, traveling north. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Janet Bord, FSR, May-June 1972, p. 20; David F.

Bruns is driving his father’s 1962 Ford pickup truck, heading west just south of Herman, Minnesota. He sees a bright, oval-shaped object hovering several feet above the road. It covers the entire road and is shaped like two saucers with a dome on top. A window-like structure surrounds the dome and emits a green light. Suddenly the truck engine stops, the headlights go out, and the vehicle lifts up, spins violently to the right, ending up in a ditch on the other side of the road. Stunned, Bruns stares at the UFO, which makes a whistling sound, emits sparks, shoots upward, and disappears. He runs home, scared and nervous. His father goes to the site of the crash but cannot get the truck out. A reporter later confirms seeing the truck in the ditch with a complete “absence of skid marks in the snow to account for how it got there.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E.

As it neared she saw it was more dirigible-shaped and closed rapidly on a collision course with her. It stopped and hovered over the telephone lines opposite her car. It was ovoid shaped and made no sound, and was about as long as a Piper Club. It had a single bright yellow-white light on the end facing her. There were no doors, ports, or landing gear visible, but a lateral line like a seam encircled the UFO. It began revolving in a clockwise motion on its axis, bringing the other end in view and exposing a two-foot platform on which stood a "man" wearing a bulky, white, one-piece suit. He was about five and one half feet tall, stocky build, and he stood with his left hand against the object and his right hand on his hip, staring directly down on the witness. His face had a ruddy complexion and his eyes were dark, but he looked entirely normal otherwise. The object drifted about on its axis and the man was lost from view. Ms. Bricker was so taken aback by the experience she could not recall if she actually stopped her car or not. She recalled seeing a man and a woman on foot not 20 feet away to whom she signaled frantically to catch their attention, but to no avail. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Robert Smulling, Skylook, August 1970, p. 19; David F.

The tanker is completely destroyed and the B-52G breaks apart, killing 3 of its 7 crew members. Of the four Mk28-type hydrogen bombs the B-52G carries, three are found on land near the small fishing village of Palomares, Spain. The non-nuclear explosives in two of the weapons detonate upon impact with the ground, resulting in the contamination of a 0.77-square-mile area by plutonium. The fourth, which falls into the Mediterranean, is recovered intact after a 2 1⁄2-month-long search. Some 800 individuals with no hands-on expertise improvise search and decontamination procedures. More than 1,400 tons of radioactive soil and plant life are excavated and shipped to the Savannah River plant in South Carolina for burial. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[1966 Palomares B-52 crash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966%5FPalomares%5FB-52%5Fcrash)”; Jacobsen, Area 51, [pp. 297–300](https://archive.org/details/area51uncensored0000jaco/page/296/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3979 ### Event 19731 (B22E1C93) **Date:** 1/18/1966 **Time:** 16:50 **Location:** CHINA LAKE NAS, CA **Description:** 2 observer(s).

The surveyor using a theodolite hears a hum, looks up, and sees a UFO flying nearly straight at him from an angle of 35°–40° and from almost exact north. It passes directly overhead at less than 150 feet, then dives smoothly, turns to the east, then comes to within 10 feet of the sloping ground. The surveyor observes the object through the theodolite until it is lost in front of a lava flow about 2 miles away. Both observers \(the other one is in a truck\) say it is moving at 150 mph and it is a dull black color and very quiet. They attempt to report the sighting, but the radio is garbled. Their truck has difficulty starting, and the theodolite exhibits an odd change in the gravity reference indicator, requiring it to be re-leveled. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “A Professional Observation,” IUR 7, no. 2 \(March 1982\): 7–8 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3980 ### Event 19737 (C464E5B0) **Date:** 1/18/1966 **Description:** Near Fetebrogh, New Jersey the lights of a Volkswagen car failed as an object with pulsating lights appeared nearby.

It passed directly overhead at an estimated 150 feet. It trailed a "wake" behind it like a jet dumping fuel.

It was spinning like a top, rose to 20 m, and flew to the southwest on a fast, oblique course. Flattened reeds were found in several places. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** FSR 66,2; Magonia ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_723 ### Event 19743 (5716C723) **Date:** 1/19/1966 **Location:** Tully, Queensland, Australia **Description:** Around 9:00 a.m. A banana grower, George Pedley, is driving a tractor about one half mile from a farmhouse at Tully, Queensland, Australia, owned by Albert Pennisi. Pedley’s attention is drawn by a hissing sound, clearly heard over the noise from the tractor’s engine. He looks about for the source of the noise and sees an unusual object about 75 feet away. It is some 30 feet in the air, rising vertically, and is shaped like “two saucers face to face.” It is light gray in color, dull, and non-reflective. He estimates its size as 25 feet long by 8–9 feet deep. The hissing diminishes as the object rises to a height of 60 feet, then departs, climbing at about an angle of 45°, extremely fast, to the southwest. The duration of his observation is only 5–6 seconds. The object appears to be always rotating. After its departure, Pedley finds a clearly defined, nearly circular depression in swamp grass, in a water-filled lagoon, at the point where he first saw it.

The group recommends that Blue Book “be strengthened to provide opportunity for scientific investigation of selected sightings in more detail and depth than has been possible to date.” Furthermore, USAF should negotiate contracts “with a few selected universities to provide scientific teams to investigate promptly and in depth certain selected sightings of UFOs…. The universities should be chosen to provide good geographical distribution.” They also conclude that “perhaps 100 sightings a year might be subjected to this close study, and that possibly an average of 10 man-days might be required per sighting so studied. The information provided by such a program might bring to light new facts of scientific value.” The group recommends that Blue Book data be given “wide unsolicited circulation among prominent members of the Congress and other public persons.” The Air Force ignores their recommendations. \( **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** USAF Scientific Advisory Board, [Special Report of the USAF Scientific Advisory Board Ad Hoc Committee to Review](http://www.cufon.org/cufon/obrien.htm) [Project “Blue Book,”](http://www.cufon.org/cufon/obrien.htm) Brian O’Brien, chairman of the Advisory Board, March 1966; Clark III 1191 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3983 ### Event 19765 (F2F2A001) **Date:** 2/5/1966 **Time:** 14:30 **Location:** NEAR OBISPO TREJO, ARG **Description:** Several observer(s).

It casts a pulsating red glow on the lawn. Her house and street lights go out as high-frequency sound assaults the witnesses’ ears. The object blinks out when aircraft pass overhead, then comes on again afterward. It departed to the west about 1.5 miles to the vicinity of the airport, where an aircraft’s landing lights light up the UFO. Then it disappears in a slow climb. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[House Lights Go Out When ‘Tadpole’ Flies Over](http://www.nicap.org/660206nederland%5Fdir.htm)” ; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[.](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 309; J.

Looking out a window, Maria Ruiz Torres watches an object descending. She sees a “gigantic eye” looking at her through a porthole. Another witness, Juan Jiminez Dias, thinks he sees a door open in the craft. Other observers include soldiers at a nearby ammunition dump. Motorist [José Luis Jordán Peña](https://www.ummowiki.fr/index.php/Jos%C3%A9%5FLuis%5FJord%C3%A1n%5FPe%C3%B1a) gets a close, extended view of the object, which he characterizes as “enormous.” Jordán Peña sends Spanish ufologist [Antonio](https://www.ummowiki.fr/index.php/Antonio%5FRibera) [Ribera](https://www.ummowiki.fr/index.php/Antonio%5FRibera) a sketch of the UFO, which has three legs and a curious symbol on its underside—something like two reverse parentheses with a vertical bar positioned between them. No other witness mentions anything like this. In 1992, Jordán Peña confesses to hoaxing his sighting, including the landing marks and physical traces, in order to prove his theory that paranoia is much more widespread in Spain that psychiatrists are willing to admit. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Antonio Ribera, “[The San José de Valderas Photographs,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201969%20V%2015%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 15, no. 5 \(Sept./Oct. 1969\): 3–10; “Background of ‘Ummo’ and the Sightings,” CUFOS Bulletin, Spring 1977, pp. 2–3; Clark III 1183; Scott Corrales, “[The UMMO Experience: Are You Experienced?](http://www.strangemag.com/ummo.html)” Strange Magazine, January 31, 2001; Alain Moreau, “[UMMO: Une imposture?](https://web.archive.org/web/100/https://www.mondenouveau.fr/presence-extraterrestre-ummo-une-imposture-ou-pas/)” Les Cles de l’Inexplique **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3985 ### Event 19774 (7EED206A) **Date:** 2/6/1966 **Description:** At 5:05 a.m. Mr. & Mrs. K.

It is about 75 feet long, nearly 8 feet high, 12 feet wide, with a Plexiglas bubble on top, and bright lights forward and aft. Laxson stops his car about 300 feet away and walks to within 50 feet, noticing a designation on its side like “TLA138” or “TLA738” or “TL 4768.” He sees a “man” wearing a baseball cap or mechanic’s hat climbing up steps or a ladder on the object. Soon after it lifts off with a hissing or high-speed drilling sound and heads off southeast at about 700 mph. There are no landing traces. Laxson finds another witness, truck driver C. W. Anderson, parked a mile down the road. Laxson thinks it is some kind of military vehicle. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Wingless Craft Blocks Road / ‘Man’ Observed](http://www.nicap.org/660323temple%5Fdir.htm)”; Hynek UFO Report, [pp. 208–210](https://archive.org/details/hynekuforeport00alle/page/208/mode/2up); Clark III 681–682; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 312 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_3998 ### Event 19936 (B71F48C4) **Date:** 3/23/1966 **Location:** Trinidad, Colorado **Description:** 5:00 p.m. At least a dozen adults and children in Trinidad, Colorado, see two disc-shaped objects with domes flying in-line, traveling with a bobbing motion over the terrain. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Discs at Trinidad, Colorado,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201966%2003%2000%20-%20March-April.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, March/April 1966, p. 1; James E.

The UFO then landed. As it moved closer through the underbrush, the witness leaned out of his car, which he had stopped for a better look, and fired his pistol at it when it was less than 100 feet away. King fired four shots at the 60-foot long ellipsoid object. He believes that one bullet hit the craft. His car lights immediately dimmed and the radio stopped playing at this point. The UFO stopped at a distance of 50 feet, and emitted a slight humming noise. After a few more moments, it glowed brighter and took off quickly, shooting straight upward. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, March-April 1966; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 139; Geoffrey Falla, BUFORA Vehicle Interference Project Report, case 34; George D.

A red oval object was observed moving with an oscillating motion, swinging like a pendulum. The object suddenly brightened and made a rapid departure (luminosity/speed correlation). (Hitt, 1999.)

While driving, a nurse's aide saw a large, bright red elliptical object with dome, five or six portholes emitting bright white light. The object was surrounded by a halo, and hovering near electric power transmission lines. Its body was dull silver and "like crumpled aluminum foil." Dogs were barking (animal reactions) and a pinging sound attracted other witnesses to the UFO. The object descended before finally moving out of sight. (Fowler, 1974, pp. 116, 335, 337; NICAP notes.)

About 15-20 miles southwest of Hampton, New Hampshire, several professional people including a deputy sheriff and a teacher saw a pulsating luminous white object moving back and forth. Its color changing from white to red to green to blue, and back to white. The object, circled, hovered, and then sped away leaving a short bluish tail, disappearing in an estimated 3 seconds.

A teenage boy saw two luminous oval objects about 8 feet in diameter descend and land, making a buzzing sound. The objects had a row of multicolored lights around the rims (body lights) "flickering like a computer." He approached for a closer look, and touched the nearest object, which felt hard and smooth like metal. No heat or cold was felt. The boy then touched an antenna-like projection at the end of one of the objects and received a shock. Frightened, he ran home. His parents confirmed a 3-inch burn mark on his hand and questioned him thoroughly before reporting the incident to authorities. His first-degree burn was treated at a hospital and healed normally.

He notices something silver on a ridge and walks toward it. He sees an “L” shaped box, long side parallel to the ground, sitting on tripod legs. His dog runs ahead and sniffs the boxy structure, and then, appearing uninterested, the dog goes off into the woods. The boy stops about 24 feet away, not sure what he is seeing. The object makes intermittent sounds and movements in the following minutes. Then a blast of air from the object sends debris flying. A short high-pitched, then low-pitched, sound is heard as the object lifts off the ground about one foot, stops, swings in a clockwise motion, and settles back on the ground. Intermittent electric-like humming sounds are heard until the object again, with a blast of air stirring up debris and the same sounds as earlier, ascends vertically, this time to about 10 feet, where it pauses, moves horizontally, pauses and rotates clockwise again, then accelerates straight up. On the final ascent, the sound increases in pitch and loudness. The witness’s mother and sister who were at some distance from him also hear the sound. When the object moved horizontally, saplings directly under it swayed. Three elongated imprints are found in the form of a triangle. Reportedly plants do not grow in the area for the next 2 years. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Hampton Area, New](http://www.nicap.org/ar-660329dir.htm) [Hampshire: March 29, 1966](http://www.nicap.org/ar-660329dir.htm)”; Raymond Fowler, “The Flying Box, and Other Cases,” IUR 28, no. 2 \(Summer 2003\): 15–20, 26 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4011 ### Event 20025 (DE4EAA45) **Date:** 3/29/1966 **Locations:** Hamilton Mountain Police Station; Hamilton, Ontario **Description:** 9:15 p.m. Charles Cozens, 13, is strolling in a field behind the Hamilton Mountain Police Station in Hamilton, Ontario. He sees two luminous oval objects about 8 feet in diameter descend and land, making a buzzing sound.

It looks to be 20–25 feet in diameter and 120 feet in the air. “It seemed to float down towards me,” he says. “It resembled a big mushroom with a stalk pointing towards the earth.” He snaps a Polaroid photo, after which the object takes off and disappears to the north. However, when [B.

In the distance he sees a light near the road. Suddenly, the headlights of his vehicle bend to the right and light up a nearby fence. He brakes his car. In the middle of an adjacent field, he sees a column of light some 25 feet high and shaped like an inverted ice cream cone, 3 feet wide at the bottom and 10 feet wide at the top. It then rises to a height of 20 feet, after which the whole light complex disappears. There is no associated noise. Sullivan drives on to Wycheproof, where he checks his lights but finds nothing wrong. On the night of April 7, 19-year-old Gary Taylor is killed at the same spot when the car he is driving leaves the road and hits a tree. Police find a circular impression about 2–5 inches deep and 5 feet in diameter in the freshly plowed field. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Bent Headlights](http://www.nicap.org/660404australia-dir.htm) [Case](http://www.nicap.org/660404australia-dir.htm)”; Bill Chalker, “[The Bent Headlight Beam Case Revisited,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Australia/UFO%20Research%20Australia%20Newsletter/UFO%20Research%20Australia%20newsletter%20vol%205%20no%203.pdf)” UFO Research Australia Newsletter 5, no. 3 \(May/June 1984\): 17–29 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4019 ### Event 20109 (62123D90) **Date:** 4/4/1966 **Description:** A famous UFO close encounter case involving the bending of a car's headlights occurred on this night in Bourke's Flat, Victoria, Australia on the road between Bendigo and Saint Arnaud. Mr. R. Sullivan, age 38, was driving home when he encountered a heavy mist and a shining white, oval-shaped UFO that appeared above him with a cone of light descending from beneath it. Rainbow colored rays of light ran down the sides of the cone. His car's headlight beams were bent toward the object "as if they were pieces of pipe." Mr. Sullivan overcompensated in his driving and nearly crashed, but was able to stop the car. He then saw brilliant lights flashing in a field, followed by the abrupt departure of the UFO. The car headlights were OK after the incident. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Victorian UFO Research Society, Flying Saucer Review, May-June 1966, p. 3; Phenomenes Spatiaux, June 1966; Coral E.

Air Force Secretary [Harold Brown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold%5FBrown%5F%28Secretary%5Fof%5FDefense%29) testifies that while USAF has done an excellent job on UFOs, perhaps there is room for “even stronger emphasis on the scientific aspects.” [Hynek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek) recommends that a “civilian panel of physical and social scientists … examine the UFO problem critically for the express purpose of determining whether a major problem exits.” [Quintanilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector%5FQuintanilla) is the only other witness. After Committee Chairman [L. Mendel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.%5FMendel%5FRivers) [Rivers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.%5FMendel%5FRivers) expresses some enthusiasm for the idea, Brown suddenly realizes that maybe he has found a way to get the Air Force out of UFO investigations. Shortly after the hearing, Brown tells the USAF Office of Scientific Research to accept the February 3 [O’Brien](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian%5FO%27Brien) recommendation to seek a university that will accept a contract to study the 600 officially unidentified UFO sightings. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** US House Committee on Armed Services, Hearing, [Unidentified Flying Objects](https://ia600402.us.archive.org/1/items/UfoHearing19662/ufo%5Fhearing1966%201.pdf)[,](https://ia600402.us.archive.org/1/items/UfoHearing19662/ufo%5Fhearing1966%201.pdf) 89th Congress, 2nd Session, April 5, 1966; Clark III 1192 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4022 ### Event 20134 (D9BB8891) **Date:** 4/5/1966 **Location:** Alto, Tennessee **Description:** Midnight.

Witness descriptions are mixed: Andrew Greenwood, a science teacher, tells The Dandenong Journal at the time that he saw a silvery-green disc. According to witnesses, the object is descending and then crosses and flies over the high school’s southwest corner, going in a southeasterly direction before disappearing from sight as it descends behind a stand of trees and into a paddock at The Grange in front of the Westall State School \(primary students\). After about 20 minutes, the object—with witnesses now numbering over 200—then climbs at speed and departs towards the northwest. As the object gains altitude, some accounts describe it as being pursued from the scene by five unidentified aircraft that circle it. Some describe one disc, others claim to see three. The Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society arrives on the site on April 8, speaks to students, and views the ground marking, originally described as a large patch of yellow, flattened grass with a swirly pattern. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Audio Reveals Creepy](https://archive.ph/5TnZj) [Details of Australian UFO Mystery,](https://archive.ph/5TnZj)” Melbourne Herald Sun, August 7, 2018; Wikipedia, “[Westall UFO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westall%5FUFO)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4024 ### Event 20141 (F58031D9) **Date:** 4/6/1966 **Description:** NICAP Assistant Director [Richard Hall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%5FH.%5FHall) writes to [Gerald Ford](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald%5FFord)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald%5FFord) congratulating him on his call for a congressional investigation, saying, “History will record the important role you have played in helping to bring about a rational study of UFOs and public enlightenment on the subject.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Bill Murphy, “The Swamp Gas Aftermath: Some Notes from the Gerald Ford Files,” IUR 33, no. 2 \(July 2010\): 10, 13 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4025 ### Event 20142 (79FFD7E1) **Date:** 4/6/1966 **Description:** At eleven o'clock in the morning in Clayton, Victoria, Australia numerous independent witnesses including dozens of schoolchildren and teachers from Westall High School watched a metallic disc-shaped UFO land in a nearby field, then take off again, while several Cessna-type aircraft and other silvery "plane-like" objects circled the area. Some of the witnesses found a perfect circle of flattened grass on the ground, while others encountered military or government personnel in the area who warned them to stay away. Some witnesses said they saw a cow in the paddock where the object came down. The animal was reportedly to have been in such a distressed state that it eventually had to be put down. One student who arrived before the others was found in a dazed, trance-like state. Other schoolchildren saw the UFO on the ground and a normal looking man in white coveralls walking around it, telling everyone to stay back. Another man appeared, this one wearing a dark uniform with an emblem on it. One of the men was seen entering the object, while the other vanished. The object emitted a loud humming sound and then took off. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bill Chalker, The OZ Files; Albert S.

Meanwhile those left behind in the shelter witnessed a very tall man dressed in black standing outside. They left and started back to their car. When the buzzing started again they saw two blue lights low in the sky, which were joined by a very bright white light. Watching from the car, they continued to hear the sound, and saw "four things like footballs with domes on them." They drove away---with difficulty, for the engine kept stalling---and were followed by a "huge light" which did not reflect in the rearview mirror. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** J.

It makes a low humming sound when it passes about 15 feet above them. The boys run to the Holy Ghost Seminary nearby and hide under a nearby bridge abutment as the object continues to maneuver. When it hovers, it does so edge down and makes a fluttering motion. The disc looks metallic, 8 feet in diameter, has a black spot on top near its rim, and a red light on top of an antenna-like protrusion. Red and white lights appear to rotate counterclockwise.

Hall](https://www.amazon.com/UFO-Evidence-Richard-Hall/dp/0760706271) **Source:** HallUFOEvidence2, **ID:** HallUFOE2_85 ### Event 20201 (B7F5ED8E) **Date:** 4/17/1966 **Locations:** Portage County; Randolph, Ohio; Mahoning County; East Palestine, Ohio; Salem, Ohio; Youngstown, Ohio; Conway, Pennsylvania; Rochester, Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh; Greater Pittsburgh International Airport **Description:** 5:00 a.m. Portage County Deputy Sheriff [Dale F. Spaur](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/165680198/dale-floyd-spaur) and Deputy Wilbur Neff are 4 miles east of Randolph, Ohio, when they see a moving light through some trees at the top of a small hill along the road. The light is headed in their direction. They have heard of a UFO reported over police radio that night and figure this must be what was seen. The object hovers 50–100 feet in the air, bathing the two officers in a bright light. Spaur’s eyes water up. They rush to the cruiser and radio the station; the dispatcher says to wait there until a car with a camera arrives. The object makes some sharp maneuvers, and Spaur drives toward it cautiously. The UFO is 18–24 feet thick and about 35–45 feet in diameter. The object is so bright he hardly needs his headlights to drive. It speeds up whenever Spaur accelerates, and soon he is driving at 80 mph. As the UFO reaches Mahoning County, the pursuit is being broadcast over police radios in three counties. As they reach East Palestine, Ohio, Patrolman [H. Wayne](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/133276534/howard-wayne-huston) [Huston](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/133276534/howard-wayne-huston) sees the UFO and follows Spaur and Neff, at times reaching 100 mph. Just before 5:30 a.m., two police officers in Salem, Ohio, see the UFO as a “bright ball” much larger than a jet. They also see three jets following it, apparently Air Force Reserve planes from Youngstown, Ohio. Police officer Frank Panzarella in Conway, Pennsylvania, sees the UFO, very bright and in the “shape of a half of a football.” He hears on his radio that a jet interception is in progress. Now in Pennsylvania, Spaur and Neff are given orders to abandon the chase. For most of the event, the object has remained at 1,000 feet, but now it rises to 3,500 feet and hovers. Then it shoots even higher and disappears. In 30 minutes, many police and civilians have seen the UFO. Panzarella alerts the Rochester, Pennsylvania, police operator, John Beighey, and asks him to contact the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. Beighey calls Panzarella and says the Air Force wants to talk to the police witnesses. Spaur, Neff, and Huston go to the Rochester, Pennsylvania, police station and Spaur phones the USAF station at Pittsburgh. Spaur speaks to some colonel who tries to convince him he has seen something conventional. NICAP’s William B. Weitzel, a philosophy professor, begins his own investigation, tracking down witnesses. Within a few weeks, he or his NICAP associates have interviewed all the police officers, as well as several others who have figured in the UFO chase, either as dispatchers or as those who overheard the radio communications. NICAP members also interview some civilians who claim to have seen a UFO at the same time of the chase and/or had monitored police scanners. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Portage County UFO Chase](http://www.nicap.org/660417ravenna%5Fdir.htm)”; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf), p. 314; “[Saucer Chase](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/30825497/the-akron-beacon-journal/) [Sets Probers Humming,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/27079563/revenna-saucer-story-continued-p-a2/)” Akron \(Ohio\) Beacon-Journal, April 18, pp. 1–2; J.

It rose up out of the woods and stopped overhead. The UFO played cat-and-mouse with them in the pursuit: approaching, waiting for them to catch up, then moving away. It beamed an intense light onto the road. They chased it for 90 minutes. It was last seen shooting straight up into the sky and out of sight. At about the same time and in roughly the same vicinity, a man named George Buchert took a photograph of a double-saucer shaped object in Mantua, Ohio. Dale Spaur's psychological condition and professional career deteriorated in the months following his close encounter. This famous case was the basis for the dramatic UFO chase in Steven Spielberg's movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** J.

It was estimated to be the same size as a passenger train car. It circled slowly in the sky before entering a localized cloud. At 7:30 p.m. in nearby Peabody, Massachusetts four witnesses reported seeing a bright red glowing object flying in circular and zigzag patterns. It suddenly darted away at an incredible speed, faster than any aircraft. In Wakefield, Massachusetts at 8:30 p.m. a multicolored disc-shaped object shot off beams of white, then blue, and finally red light. It moved rapidly up-and-down and made a humming sound. It descended to just 50 feet above Lake Quanapowitt. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Raymond E.

Initially they telephone local news outlets, seeking information. However, local newspapers and radio have only vague outlines of the case. Air Force investigators also interviewed meteorologists and weather agency personnel, hoping to learn that a weather balloon was launched in the area during the UFO chase. They learn that there were no weather balloons launched that morning, and also that the wind had been so mild that the police would have had no difficulty catching up with any wind-borne object. [Quintanilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector%5FQuintanilla) calls [Spaur](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/165680198/dale-floyd-spaur) to ask him about “this mirage you saw.” Spaur insists he has seen a clearly defined metallic object maneuvering at very low altitudes. When Quintanilla asks if they watched the object for more than a few minutes, Spaur asserts that he and Neff chased it for over half an hour, and that [Huston](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/133276534/howard-wayne-huston) saw the object for much of that period, and that Panzanella too had seen it. Quintanilla then, as Spaur said, “kind of lost interest.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 910 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4028 ### Event 20215 (87D050E1) **Date:** 4/18/1966 **Location:** Battle Creek, Michigan **Description:** An egg-shaped object, 80 feet in diameter and 15 feet high, is observed from a distance of 80 feet by a 42- year-old witness driving a car near Battle Creek, Michigan.

At 7:15 p.m. an elongated oval-shaped UFO with reddish green flashing lights on each end hovered over Peabody, Massachusetts, zipped around, and maneuvered to the horizon and back three times. The perimeter of the object glowed blue. A dense light was seen hovering only three feet above a roadway in Albany, New York. A blinding bright object with intense red lights landed on a road in Lancaster, Ohio and then flew off through a corn field. The witness, Mr. P. Friend, had sore and bloodshot eyes after his sighting from looking at the object. At 9:45 p.m. a UFO responded to a searchlight directed at it in Cohasset, Massachusetts by zigzagging, turning off its lights, and shooting straight up into the sky. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Raymond E.

They were near the golf course traveling north, about five miles west of the town, when the object silently moved towards them, revealing itself to be a large disc with a dome on top. It was dark with a white light on top, 45 feet in diameter, and with a row of rotating red lights. It came closer and hovered only 40 feet away. Frightened, they drove off at high speed and it pursued them. After two minutes it broke off and went behind some trees. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon I. R.

She had just crossed the Red River bridge into Oklahoma near Thackerville when she noticed she had driven directly underneath it so she stopped the car. It descended and hovered close to the car. The UFO was luminous and lens-shaped, more than twice the length of her station wagon. It was surrounded by a spherical framework that was revolving around it. On one side of the disc was a long window through which four human-looking occupants could clearly be seen. They had slanted, "Oriental" shaped eyes and were wearing tight fitting, silverly gray uniforms. Her daughter said that one was a woman. Standing outside the car, Dr. Page watched the UFO for about 20 minutes. A "force field" around the craft made it difficult for her to breathe, and a hot wind blew from the sphere that smelt "electrical." Finally another car approached, and the UFO quickly moved away toward the river.They felt a hot wind from the UFO as well. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The yellow light blinked or flashed alternately with the red lights. The object stopped, hovering over a building. After a while it approached the family's apartment building and maneuvered between it and the adjacent building, emitting a humming sound. It hovered again briefly at the end of the alley, then moved away erratically to the east and disappeared. The same or an identical object was seen again several hours (NICAP: 02 - Close Encounters) **Reference:** [NICAP Listing by Date PDF](http://www.nicap.org/NSID/NSID_DBListingbyDate.pdf) **Source:** NICAP_DB, **ID:** NICAP_DB_3047 ### Event 20272 (C6EBB25F) **Date:** 4/23/1966 **Location:** 37.0000 -116.0000 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

A yellow light is on top of the dome and alternately flashes on when the red lights blink off. It moves across the street and appears to be moving directly toward them at eye level. Humming, the object moves between their apartment building and the one next door, where it hovers for a few minutes. When the yellow light goes off, Kalnicki can see a glow within the dome. The object then moves erratically away to the east. The family goes to bed, but at 5:00 a.m., 11-year-old Judy Kalnicki is too upset to sleep, She wakes up when she sees a light coming in her window and realizes that the UFO is right outside, bobbing up and down, looking about the size of their 1955 Lincoln automobile, and flashing its lights as before. Thinking it is going to come inside her bedroom, Judy screams. Seemingly in response, the object speeds up its bobbing motion, and she hears a heavy thudding sound. The windows rattle, Judy’s bed rocks, and all the lights in the house go off. Downstairs, their German shepherd is whining and scratching at the door. The entire family rushes to the back porch, where they watch the object for about 12 minutes moving to the north toward Boston. The lights come back on. NICAP’s investigation shows that the power failure affected 2,500 homes in the area and was caused by two cables burning out a block away from the Kalnicki apartment. One particle on the window sill registered a strong radiation reading of .025 millimentgens per hour from a Geiger counter. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E.

It had red lights on each side, a flashing green light on top, and a rectangular window through which she saw a man's face. He winked and smiled at her, and said something she could not hear. He had a "bubble" on his head that he took off before speaking. He then stood up, and she could see that he was wearing "shiny white" clothing with numerous black buttons on his chest. Then the object took off again. At the site her parents found a circular area of crushed pussy willow bushes, about 15 feet in diameter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The object emitted a humming sound and "weird, whirring, mechanical noises" as it bobbed around apparently close to the building. An explosive sound was heard, the windows rattled and furniture shook, and the lights went out. The family German shepherd doa whined and scratched at the door (animal reaction). The start of a power failure, which affected about 2,500 homes in the area, was officially timed at 4:57 a.m. It was later attributed to a breakdown in the insulation of the wiring at a point very near the apartment building. Later that evening investigators detected some abnormal radiation on the window sill where the object had been seen. (Keyhoe & Lore, 1969b, pp. 45-47; Walter N. Webb investigation report; U.F.O.

Air Force Capt. Gary Reese claims that NORAD’s satellite-tracking radar covers altitudes from 100,000 feet to 2,000 miles up but never finds any UFOs. He neglects to mention that UFOs are found in the atmosphere below 100,000 feet. \(Even so, NORAD has been detecting occasional Unidentified Satellites, USATs, for years.\) Reese makes a broad statement that the Air Force has never substantiated a “flying saucer” despite NORAD’s covering “nearly every square foot of the US” on its radar.

The creings used strange instruments to examine a number of objects, especially some plants. They were two meters tall, had oversized heads, and appeared bright and "transparent." Their eyes were slanted and they had very broad shoulders. They wore no apparent weapons, but their belts were very wide and emitted light rays. They did not touch anything without first illuminating it with these beams. They went back aboard their craft "as if carried by the light." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee: Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 768 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2716 ### Event 20359 (A075D14D) **Date:** 5/10/1966 **Description:** At 10:00 p.m. on or about this date, a crowd of people in Atafona Campos, Brazil were watching an outdoor movie when an unknown aerial object crashed and exploded.

A grayish-green object, changing shape from rectangular to roughly diamond-shaped, to a domed disc, was reflecting sunlight and apparently metallic. It was visible high in the northern sky. Hazy heat waves surrounded it. For 15 minutes the object moved around lazily, then it suddenly sped off to the northeast and disappeared. The editor compared the speed to that of a jet. At 1:10 p.m. a school principal saw children on the school's playground staring at a dark, disc-shaped object with a dome on top moving high overhead toward the east. At about the same time Charles Hardman was walking on Alessandra Street in Temple City when he noticed something that he first thought was a kite or balloon in the north-northwest sky moving slowly northeast. Through binoculars he saw that the object's surface was glossy, gray or black, yet light reflective. At times the top was obscured by hazelike smoke. Without the binoculars Hardman could see that this was due to different angles of vision as the object tumbled over in its path. It was shaped like a diamond with concave sides.

About 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Beverly Harding of Temple City, California was driving about a mile south of the center of town when she saw an aerial object paralleling the path of her car, but traveling a little faster than she was. It looked like "a big bowl of jelly, plastic-like and shiny..." The object was roundish, but irregularly shaped. Finally, at 3:25 p.m. Mrs. Janice Oyler of San Gabriel, California was driving through Temple City when she saw a "black and silver cone-shaped object" in the sky. She stopped her car to watch, and saw the object bobbing around and circling slowly in one small area of the sky for about three minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Los Angeles NICAP subcommittee; Ann Druffel, Skynet, May 1966, p. 27; Richard H.

Although the object was clearly outlined, there was a slight haze surrounding it. The color was bright green. Flashes of sunlight reflected off the surface, giving it a metallic sheen. On the body were what appeared to be a row of louvers and an antenna-like projection. After several minutes the object climbed to the northeast, observed as it moved away by employees of a nearby restaurant who were alerted by the witness. (Los Angeles NICAP Subcommittee report.)

The object, which had rows of lights flashing around its perimeter, took off rapidly as the witnesses approached it in a motor boat. The incident was reported to NICAP by Richard Plewman. Plewman, a former RCAF Flight Lieutenant and pilot instructor, was cruising with a friend, Jack Grant about 2-1/2 miles offshore of Clarkson at about 10:30 p.m. While proceeding in a NE direction, the men noticed some lights like headlights on the water ahead. They continued talking, and approaching the lights at a moderate speed, not suspecting anything unusual. When they got to an estimated distance of 3/4 to 1 mile, the lights slowly rose with a "swish," emitting a low "pulsating hum." Plewman and Grant could now see a disc with a bubble-type dome on top and a flat bottom, casting an oval reflection on the lake surface. A row of bright yellow lights encircled the dome, blue-green lights around the lower perimeter. After hovering briefly, the UFO took off at high speed disappearing "Like a light bulb turned out." Plewman said the perimeter lights clearly outlined the dark object, the colors changing from dull white to fluorescent tones as the UFO started to rise. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, August-September 1966, p. 5 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3200 ### Event 20404 (AE13517D) **Date:** 6/2/1966 **Location:** Massillon, OH **Description:** Day.

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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Lucius Farish & Dale Titler, Official UFO magazine, May 1977, p. 54; Tom Longhurst, Orlando Sentinel, June 5, 1966; David F.

Its altitude is about 75 feet. They describe it as round, brighter than the moon, silver, and about 4 times larger than the full moon. It has a fuzzy edge and rocks slightly as it hovers. One girl, Donna Glosser, calls it to the attention of others who are about a half-block away. When she does, the object changes to reddish- orange, seems to revolve, and moves across a road so fast it seems to jump. It stops abruptly over some trees on a hill about one block away. At least one adult watches the object for 5 minutes. The same object is apparently seen by a group of teens at the Dairy Delight Drive-In about a mile and a half away. It becomes brighter after 45 seconds and speeds away. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Children Watch Object in Central Indiana,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201966%2007%2000%20-%20July-August.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, July/Aug. 1966, p. 8 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4078 ### Event 20600 (B3ACD67A) **Date:** 8/1/1966 **Description:** At 12:30 a.m. EDT citizens and police in College Park, Lanham, Bowie, Seat Pleasant, and elsewhere around Prince Georges County, Maryland saw maneuvering, fast-moving lighted objects.

It was about six feet long, ovoid shaped, and four feet wide by four feet high, and it made a "rattling" sound. From a square hatch two 5-foot tall slender occupants emerged, who either had "large heads" or wore helmets. They walked about for three minutes, apparently communicating with each other, and examined some bicycles. Then they returned to the craft and it took off. The total duration of the encounter was about 30 minutes in all. At the landing site the grass was matted down, and there was a white substance which proved to be calcium phosphate. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Manning](https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/thurston-manning-obituary?pid=171867180), university vice president. The memo, which is not sent to [Condon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FCondon) and is intended to show university officials that the project will not embarrass them, says: “Our study would be conducted almost exclusively by nonbelievers who, although they couldn’t possibly prove a negative result, could and probably would add an impressive body of evidence that there is no reality to the observations. The trick would be, I think, to describe the project so that, to the public, it would appear a totally objective study but to the scientific community, would present the image of a group of nonbelievers trying their best to be objective but having an almost zero expectation of finding a saucer.” He recommends stressing the psychology and sociology of the witnesses rather than physical evidence.

Marlene Travers, age 24, was visiting friends in the country and had taken a walk alone after dinner. She heard a sound like an airplane and saw a 50-foot diameter disc land in a field. A tall man dressed in a loose-fitting green tunic got out of the craft. She tried to run away but couldn't move. When he touched her she felt compelled to obey, and followed him aboard the craft past an instrumental panel into a "wildly furnished" room. She understood through telepathy that he intended to impregnate her.

After sexual intercourse he escorted her out of the ship, but when she tripped over some kind of a switch the resultant flash burned her ankles and she fainted. When she woke up she found herself lying in the field where the UFO had landed. Her friends had been searching for her for several hours. A doctor who examined her found burns on her legs and ankles. She brought her friends back to the spot where she claimed to have been inside the UFO, and a large indentation was found in the earth. She later was examined again by a medical doctor and found to be pregnant. There is no account of how the pregnancy turned out. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Hans Holzer, The UFOnauts, pp. 247-248; Frank Edwards, Flying Saucers--Here and Now, p. 147; Thomas E.

When policemen climbed to the site they found the bodies of two men, electronics technicians Pereira da Cruz and Viana. The bodies had lead masks on the upper part of the face. An autopsy failed to disclose the cause of death. Investigation disclosed several earlier incidents and an organization to which these men belonged. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** Personal ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_790 ### Event 20660 (13555AF1) **Date:** 8/20/1966 **Locations:** Morro do Vintém in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Campos dos Goytacazes; Niterói; Jacques Vallée **Description:** Afternoon. Some boys looking for a lost kite on the Morro do Vintém in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, discover the bodies of two dead males and report them to the authorities. The Morro do Vintém is a hill with difficult terrain, and the police are unable to reach the bodies until August 21. When a small team of police and firefighters arrive, they encounter an odd scene: the bodies are resting next to each other, partly covered by grass. Each one is wearing a formal suit, a lead eye mask, and a waterproof coat. There are no signs of trauma or struggle. Next to the corpses, police find an empty water bottle and a packet containing two wet towels. A small notebook is also identified, on which were written the cryptic instructions, “16:30 be at the specified location. 18:30 ingest capsules, after the effect protect metals await signal mask.” The two men are identified as Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana, two electronic technicians from Campos dos Goytacazes. Following an investigation, police reconstruct a plausible narrative of the men’s last days. On August 17, Cruz and Viana leave Campos dos Goytacazes saying that they needed to purchase some materials for work \(although they tell others they are on a secret mission\). The two men then board a bus to Niterói and arrive at 2:30 p.m. Evidence shows that the waterproof coats were purchased at a shop there, and one bottle of water from a local bar. Upon being interviewed, the waitress from the bar described Miguel as “very nervous,” and noticed he frequently checked his watch. That is the last time they are known to have been seen alive; it is presumed they go directly from the bar to the spot where they were discovered. One theory revolves around the testimony of a friend of the two men, who claims that they are members of a group of “scientific spiritualists” who are apparently attempting to contact extraterrestrials or spirits using psychedelic drugs. Believing that such an encounter would be accompanied by blinding light, the men cut metal masks to shield their eyes and may have died of drug overdoses. This account is corroborated by the esoteric diary entry found at the scene and by mask-making materials and literature concerning spirits found at the men’s homes. In April 1980, [Jacques Vallée](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques%5FVall%C3%A9e) locates the exact spot where the bodies were found and notes that no vegetation is growing there. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Lead Masks Case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%5FMasks%5FCase)”; Charles Bowen, “[The Mystery of the Morro do Vintem,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201967%20V%2013%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 13, no. 2 \(Mar./Apr. 1967\): 11–14; Clark III 774–775; Jacques Vallée, Confrontations: A Scientist’s Search for Alien Contact, Ballantine, 1990, [pp. 3–15](https://archive.org/details/confrontationssc00vall%5F0/page/3/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4086 ### Event 20661 (BAAA5F54) **Date:** 8/20/1966 **Description:** Early in the morning Otto Becker, his son, and daughter-in-law woke up to find their entire house in Heraldsburg, California bathed in bright light.

An opening appeared in the side of the cylinder and a ramp slid out, and five robotic metal "boxes" with small wheels on the bottoms and four "arms" on the sides came down the ramp. One took ground samples, while three of the others took air, grass, and flower samples and the last one "just stood there." When finished they rolled back up the ramp, the ramp slid in, and the ship took off straight up and vanished in the fog. The witness had seen disc-like UFOs on many previous occasions. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Mueller reports by base radio seeing a multicolored light high in the sky above the Minot AFB M-6 Minuteman launch site southeast of Norma, North Dakota. A team goes to his location and confirms the object and sees a second white object passing in front of clouds. The base radar detects the object, which is tracked at about 100,000 feet \(20 miles\). The object rises and descends a number of times, and each time Maj. Chester A. Shaw Jr., in charge of the M-6 missile crew, finds his radio transmission interrupted by static, even though he is 60 feet underground. The UFO gradually descends to ground level 10–15 miles south of the base. The Air Force sends a strike team to check on it. When they are within 10 miles of the site, static disrupts their radio contact. Five to eight minutes later, the glow diminishes and the UFO takes off. Another UFO is sighted and tracked on radar; the first object flies underneath this second one. The two objects disappear separately. The entire episode lasts about 4 hours and is confirmed by two other missile launch sites, M- 4 and N-7 \(near Mohall\). Another report from the same time period mentions that some missiles went off alert for 24 hours after a UFO sighting at the N-1 missile alert facility. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Minuteman Site Jammed by UFO](http://www.nicap.org/660824minot%5Fdir.htm)”; Condon, [pp. 274–277](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/274/mode/2up); [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 317; Robert L.

She goes to her bedroom, but she has a feeling of being watched. Looking out the window, she sees an oval-shaped object with portholes and red, green, and white lights revolving around it. It is 75 feet in diameter and hovering at 100 feet. She wakes up her husband, who also sees it, and calls her married daughter, Mrs. Janet Emery, a mile away; the Emerys also see it, and a neighbor with binoculars can see that it has square windows glowing yellow. Janet goes outdoors and sees the UFO eject a red ball, which maneuvers while the first UFO takes off southward. The red ball flies 75–100 feet over Janet’s head; its underside is shiny like aluminum foil. Mrs. Steward goes to bed, but the odor is still in the house. After some time, the room is filled for an instant with brilliant white light; then this vanishes and a globe of light about 21 inches in diameter appears at the foot of her bed. Inside are 5 “non-human, hairless heads” with oval, sunken eyes. Instead of noses, there are slits, and they have no mouths. Telepathically, they repeat several times: “We have made contact.” Mrs. Steward screams and the globe disappears. She is so disquieted by the experience that she goes under psychiatric care for the next 2 years. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Stringfield, Situation Red, Doubleday, 1977, pp. 33–36 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4111 ### Event 20831 (D794A3A4) **Date:** 10/2/1966 **Description:** Mrs. Everett Steward, a flight attendant, was talking on the telephone from her home in Cincinnati, Ohio at 10:20 p.m. when she smelled a foul odor in the room. She went to her bedroom, where she had a feeling of being watched. Looking out the window, she saw an oval-shaped object with portholes and red, green, and white lights revolving around it.

It too was oval shaped, and its underside was shiny like aluminum foil. It was "bigger than my cottage and yard combined." She also smelled the garbage like odor. Mrs. Steward went to bed, but the odor still persisted in the house. Sometime later that night the room was filled with a brilliant white light, which then vanished, and a globe of light about 21 inches in diameter appeared at the foot of her bed.

He notices a group of lights in a field to the west past the dead end. He thinks it might be a new light installation and moves on. The next day, Jones is with another paper carrier, Don Doe, and he suggests they go see the new lights. Jack sees the lights, but they are in a different position somewhat to the north. Both boys sit on their bicycles and watch a dark disc-shaped object with flashing red, green, and white lights on it that is apparently on the ground some 840 feet into the field. They estimate it is 27 feet in diameter and 10 feet high. They hear a high-pitched whirring sound and smell a faint odor of sulfur and tannic acid. After watching it a few minutes, they hear a new sound as if someone is walking slowly toward them through some thick weeds. They take off on their bicycles and don’t look back. Some days later, investigators find three holes, 8 feet apart in an equilateral triangle, where the object was seen. The holes measure 7 inches at the top and 1 inch at the bottom. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UAO Landing in Indiana,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201966%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Nov./Dec. 1966, pp. 1, 3 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4113 ### Event 20839 (C6321B1A) **Date:** 10/5/1966 **Location:** POTOMAC, MD **Description:** Boy.

Simons is driving home from a camping expedition, notices a reddish glow behind him, and stops his car near Split Rock Pond, south of Newfoundland, New Jersey, to investigate. A flat- bottom, red-orange disc with a dome on top is hovering above and behind his car. Near panic, he flees the area with the object following him. When the light from the object illuminates the ground around him, his car engine, dashlights, and headlights all fail. When the object recedes, his lights and engine function normally. This sequence is repeated three times, strongly demonstrating a direct correlation between the light from the UFO and the failure of his car’s electrical system. Shortly after the sighting, Simons begins experiencing a recurring illness \(the reason for his story appearing in a medical journal\); it is characterized by fatigue, anorexia, soreness, muscle weakness, chills, and significant weight loss. After about 6 months he has fully recovered. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Berthold Eric Schwarz, “[UFOs: Delusion or Dilemma,](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/UFOs%3A-delusion-or-dilemma.-Schwarz/0258161f6ed733279963cfcfe4df78aa4f361458)” Medical Times 96 \(October 1968\): 967–981; UFOEv II 37; Herbert S.

Her foster daughter, Anita Purrington, joins Dale and they both get excited. Mrs. Tibbetts runs to a window when the house lights begin blinking on and off. She goes to her son’s room and sees a huge object with two tiers of four windows from which a strange, yellow-green light is shining. The size of one of the windows is as big as her living room wall. An apparent ceiling line is visible in the bottom tier. Suddenly an intense white light shoots out from the object at Mrs. Tibbetts, who is knocked backward and gets spots before her eyes. When her vision clears, the UFO is gone. She has pains in her eyes the next two days and they are extremely sensitive to light. She drives to a clinic in Exeter, New Hampshire, which finds a spasm in the eyelid and tearing, but it attributes this to the cobalt therapy she has been getting. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E.

November 2 — 7:25 p.m. [Woodrow Derenberger](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/53218997/woodrow-wilson-derenberger) is driving his panel truck home to Parkersburg, West Virginia, on Interstate 77 when a low-flying dark object about 35 feet wide cuts in front of him and forces him to stop. It hovers a foot above the ground, only 20 feet ahead. The object has a profile similar to a kerosene lamp chimney flattened on the bottom side. A door opens and a smiling man of dark complexion descends, wearing a topcoat \(“blue and quite shiny, having a glistening effect”\) over shiny blue trousers. Without opening his mouth, which bears a fixed grin, he addresses Derenberger telepathically, asking him to open his window. For the next 10 minutes he conducts a telepathic conversation, first asking Derenberger’s name and saying that his own is “Indrid Cold” from a planet called Lanulos in the “Ganymede galaxy.” He tells Derenberger not to think of him as an alien and concludes by saying, “We will see you again.” After admitting Mr. Cold, the UFO rises vertically and disappears. A truck driver named [Walter Vanscoy](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/116946916/walter-glenn-vanscoy) is going north on I-77 and sees, in apparent confirmation of the encounter, a truck parked on the berm of the southbound I-77 lanes with a man wearing a knee-length coat standing by the passenger side.

Mrs. Kathleen could see in these windows a man and two women, who appeared to be on different floors.

One of the women who was on the lower level handed him a small object "like a cup of coffee." After about three minutes the object began to move westward, then rose steeply emitting a multicolored exhaust. It moved off at a speed greater then a jet. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

A fine herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and simultaneously the TV began making a loud whining noise, winding up to a high pitch as if on a musical scale. He said it sounded like a generator winding up. Outside on his front porch his dog Bandit began wailing. Partridge picked up a flashlight and went outside to investigate. The dog was sitting on the end of the porch, howling down toward the hay barn in the bottom. Partridge shined his light in that direction and it picked up two red circles, or eyes, which looked like bicycle reflectors. There was something about the eyes that was difficult to explain. The eyes were huge and plainly visible at a distance of 150 yards. As soon as the flashlight picked out the "eyes" Bandit snarled and ran toward them. A "cold chill" swept over the man and he felt a wave of fear, which kept him from following the dog. That night he slept with a loaded gun beside his bed. The next day he went looking for his dog with some neighbors. They found tracks. At the approximate position of the "eyes" he found a large number of dog tracks. The tracks were going in a circle, as if the dog had been chasing his tail. Then the tracks vanished, the dog was never seen again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John A.

Scarberry describes it as shaped like a man but nearly 7 feet tall. They describe it as a “large flying man with 10-foot wings” that are folded against its back. Terrified, they drive away but pass a similar creature on a hill by the road. As they pass it, it spreads its wings, rises into the air, and pursues their car, keeping pace at even 100 mph. The entity does not pursue them into town, but they drive directly to the Mason County Courthouse, where they tell their story to Deputy [Millard Halstead](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/63046926/millard-w%5F-halstead)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/63046926/millard-w%5F-halstead) who accompanies the witnesses back to the site. He hears strange static disturbances coming from his radio, but they find no evidence of the encounter. On November 16, Sheriff [George E. Johnson](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/61853560/george-e-johnson) holds a press conference to discuss the sighting, the press begins calling the creature “Mothman” based on a comic book character. The Scarberrys and Mallettes go back to the site in the daylight and find odd-looking tracks like “two horseshoes put together.” After this sighting, more people begin reporting encounters, and hundreds of cars swarm out to the TNT area at night in search of a Mothman sighting. In May 1976, representatives of the Ohio UFO Investigators League reinterview several witnesses, all of whom stick to their stories and sometimes add interesting details. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** John A.

A very fine herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and at the same time the set started making a loud whining noise, increasing to a high pitch, peaking and then breaking off, as if on a musical scale, sounding like a generator winding up. Outside on his porch, his dog Bandit began wailing. Partridge picked up a flashlight and went out in the yard to investigate. The dog was sitting at the end of the porch, howling down toward the hay barn in the bottom. Partridge shined the light in that direction, and it picked up two red circles or eyes, which looked like bicycle reflectors. There was something about the eyes that was difficult to explain. They were huge and plainly visible at a distance of 150 yards. As soon as the flashlight picked out the eyes his dog Bandit snarled and ran toward them. A "cold chill" swept over the man and he felt a wave of fear, which kept him from following the dog. That night he slept with a loaded gun beside his bed. The next day he went looking for his dog with a friend. They found tracks, and at the approximate position of the "eyes" he found a large number of dog tracks. The tracks were going in a circle, as if the dog had been chasing its tail. Then the tracks vanished, the dog was never seen again. At around 11:30 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Steve Mallette and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Scarberry reported that their car was followed in Point Pleasant, West Virginia around 11:30 p.m. by a gray "bird-like creature" six to seven feet tall and with a ten foot wingspan. When the car headlights struck the creature its eyes, about two inches in diameter, glowed red. It finally scurried into a field and disappeared. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** UPI press dispatch in the Cleveland Press, November 16, 1966; APRO Bulletin, November-December 1966, p. 10; John A Keel, FSR, July 1968, p. 7; John Keel, The Mothman Prophecies, p. 59 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7690 ### Event 20991 (057DFB3F) **Date:** 11/16/1966 **Description:** At 9:00 p.m. in Point Pleasant, West Virginia Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Wamsley and Mrs Marcella Bennett were driving to the house of Ralph Thomas, when they saw a big red light maneuvering over the "TNT" dump area. When they arrived and got out, a "big gray thing bigger than a man, with glowing red eyes" rose up from the ground. They ran into the house, but the creature shuffled onto the porch and peered into windows. It was gone by the time police arrived. Mr. & Mrs. Steve Mallette and Mr. & Mrs Roger Scarberry reported that their car was followed about midnight by a gray "bird like creature" 6-7 feet tall with a 10 foot wingspan. When the car headlights struck its eyes, which were two inches in diameter, they glowed red. It finally scurried into a field and disappeared. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

After about half an hour a red flame shot upward from the object, then two very bright lights approached it from the distance. When these were near it something like a luminous balloon sprang up from it and hovered in the air. At this point she could see 3 or 4 figures moving about the large object on the ground, which was pulsating from dim to bright. They were dressed in a "gold shiny material." She watched them for about two hours before going to bed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

G. Huskey and C. Hutchins rounded a corner and saw a dark, spherical machine with a flat rim land in front of their patrol car at four o'clock in the morning. They estimated it was seven meters in diameter and about twenty feet above the ground. Hutchins described it as being spherical, like a ball, with a wide, flat rim around it. There were no lights or portholes visible on it. It was completely dark, reflecting a dull gold color in the headlights of the police car. A small doorway opened noiselessly on the underside of the sphere and a short ladder dropped down. A small man dressed in a shiny gold suit emerged. White light poured out of the opening, but neither man could see anything in the interior. The small being descended the ladder and walked slowly and deliberately toward the two police officers. When the figure reached a point about fifteen to twenty feet from the two men, it stopped.

"He didn't move stiffly," officer Hutchins said. "He moved just like anybody else, but kind of slow...like he was taking his time. He wasn't scared of us or anything like that." In appearance, the humanoid was about the size of a twelve-year-old boy, maybe four feet tall. He wore no helmet or headgear and was dressed in a gold suit with no buttons or zippers. His costume was shiny, like metal, in the reflection of the headlights, but it was not self-luminous. The humanoid asked numerous questions and ignored the witnesses when they asked any questions. Hutchins could not remember seeing the feet of the creature. It was standing on high grass and the feet must have been hidden. Both men could not really remember the full context of the "conversation". Hutchins claimed the alien spoke perfect English. "Didn't have any accent or anything. He acted like he knew exactly what he was saying and doing...didn't make any quick moves or false moves. He just stood there and talked to the witnesses." He wanted to know why both men were dressed alike. His speech was very precise. He pronounced each work very carefully. When asked where he was from, he just laughed. The meeting was brief, perhaps only two or three minutes. Then, Hutchins say, the creature announced, "I...will...return...in...two...days." He turned, walked slowly back to the ladder and climbed into the object. The door closed quietly and the craft began to make a soft whirring sound like an engine with a muffler on it. The object rose slowly and vanished into the sky. A local councilman found numerous footprints at the site where the little man had stood. There was no return visit by the alien. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He stops at the Diamond Peak overlook, takes 2 photos, then pauses to take a third. Suddenly, he claims, a disc- shaped object with a domed top ascends into his field of view. After stopping for 3 seconds, it shoots off toward the right and disappears into a cloud bank. When he develops the roll of film, the photos show a blurred disc- shaped object with two black bands beneath and sitting atop a seeming column of vapor. NICAP is given the photo but is not impressed. In 1989, physicist [Irwin Wieder](https://www.aip.org/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/photos/wieder-irwin-b1) performs a detailed analysis of the photo and determines that it is a blurred photo of the “Diamond Peak” sign taken from a passing car. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 1281–1283; Irwin Wieder, “[The Willamette Pass Oregon UFO Photo Revisited: An Explanation,](https://www.scientificexploration.org/docs/7/jse%5F07%5F2%5Fweider.pdf)” Journal of Scientific Exploration 7, no. 2 \(1993\): 173–198; Irwin Wieder, “The Willamette Pass Photo Explained,” IUR 18, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1993\): 18–19 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4145 ### Event 21022 (51AD694B) **Date:** 11/22/1966 **Location:** Roaring River State Park, Missouri **Description:** 10:00 a.m. A deer hunter searching for game near Roaring River State Park, Missouri, returns to his group’s camp and becomes alarmed when he sees smoke rising from it. He finds their tent and other camping equipment destroyed. The tent is still smoldering, one of the aluminum tent poles is singed, and the aluminum cots are melted. The tent is set up under two trees, but their leaves show no traces of damage at all. About 15 feet away is a dead tree with its top still burning. The witness then heasr a low humming sound and sees an object rising from the valley about 300 feet away. He is able to take a photograph of it as it ascends and manages a second photo a few seconds later. It is an aluminum-colored disc, about 25 feet in diameter and 8 feet thick, with a band around its center and some kind of projection at its rear. The humming sound intensifies as the object picks up speed and disappears in 20 seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** CUFOS case file; Ted Phillips, [Physical Traces Associated with UFO](http://cufos.org/books/Physical%5FTraces.pdf) [Sightings](http://cufos.org/books/Physical%5FTraces.pdf)[,](http://cufos.org/books/Physical%5FTraces.pdf) Center for UFO Studies, 1978, p. 44; B.

French rocket scientist [Jean-Pierre Morin](https://rr0.org/people/m/MorinJeanPierre/) is driving three members of a launch team to the tower at Interarmy Special Vehicles Test Center at Hammaguir, Algeria. When they arrive at a row of buildings, they notice a light in the sky silently coming toward them. Their car engine sputters and fails. It stops and hovers at an elevation of 45° about 1,600 feet away. Morin thinks it is attached to a black, cylindrical object 980–1,300 feet in length and 100 feet in diameter with “flames” of different colors along its side. The light begins moving slowly again, and a car with astrophysicists stops and watches it for another 20–30 minutes before it ascends and disappears. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Good Need, [pp. 296–297](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/296/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4165 ### Event 21123 (A28E3F71) **Date:** Early 1/1967 **Locations:** State Highway 55; Farwell, Minnesota **Description:** 7:30 p.m. Robert Blaine is driving with five other witnesses on State Highway 55 two miles southeast of Farwell, Minnesota, when his headlights and engine suddenly go out.

Seventeen-year-old Connie Christiansen went to the door. Stunned, she reported back to her mother, "It's the strangest looking man I've ever seen." Mrs. Christiansen then went to the door and unlatched it and looked outside. It was growing dark and was bitter cold out. There was no car in view and this seemed unusual because the Christiansen home was in an isolated area and guests were unlikely to be arriving on foot. A tall man stood at the door and asked if Edward Christiansen lived there. He then said he was from "the Missing Heirs Bureau" and asked to be let in. They invited the stranger inside. The visitor must have been at least two meters (six and a half feet) tall, and was enormously broad shouldered. He wore a Russian fur hat with a black visor on it and a very long black coat that seemed to be made out of thin material--too thin for the cold weather. He told the family "this will only take forty minutes." As he removed his hat he revealed an unusually shaped head that was large and round, while his face seemed angular and pointed. He had black hair, which was closely cropped. There was a perfectly round spot on the back of his head as if that area had been shaved recently. His nose and mouth seemed relatively normal, but his eyes were large, protruding, like "thyroid eyes," and set wide apart. One eye appeared to have a cast, like a glass eye, and did not move in unison with its companion.

During the course of the conversation Mr. Christiansen noticed a badge on the stranger's shirt pocket, which he quickly covered with his hand and removed, placing it in his coat pocket. It resembled a gold or brass badge and it seemed to have a big K on it with a small x alongside and letters and numbers around the edge, according to Connie Christiansen. Underneath his thin outer coat he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt made of a Dacron like material. His trousers were of a dark gray or black material, and were a little too short. He wore dark shoes with unusually thick rubber soles. A strange feature on his leg fascinated Connie and Mrs. Christiansen. When he sat down they could see a long thick green wire attached to the inside of his leg. It came out or his socks and disappeared under his trousers. At one point it seemed to be indented into his leg and was covered with a large brown spot. The Christiansen's noted that the visitor had an unnatural pallor. His speech was also strange, with a high "tinny" voice that seemed especially peculiar coming from such a large man. He also spoke in a strange, hard to understand, sing-song manner. At one point when his face reddened he asked for a glass of water, and swallowed a large yellow capsule which he gulped down. He then returned to normal. After about 40 minutes he donned his hat and coat and told Mr. Christiansen that he would be in touch. When he reached the road, he made a gesture and a black 1963 Cadillac drove through the trees and pulled up. He climbed into the car and it drove away with its headlights off. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The man then proceeded to chase a ball of light in his car. The nocturnal light stayed 150 yards ahead of him until his engine died and his lights went out, when he then noticed a "saucer shaped" object descend. The saucer was slightly bigger than a Peugeot car, 9-12 feet above the ground, and came down about 60 feet away. The top of the object had two transparent cupolas in each of which he could see a helmeted figure, human like and dressed in green and white coveralls. He felt a wave of heat and a temporary sensation of paralysis. He watched a nearby road sign vibrating near the oval object. With a whistling sound the UFO rose to 50 meters altitude then dropped back again to near ground level. Becoming brilliantly yellow-white, it finally took off at tremendous speed. As it did so his lights came back on and he was able to start the car normally. Several days later the witness experienced trouble sleeping, followed by some weeks of excessive sleepiness. The area had been the site of repeated UFO incidents for a year. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Sgt. Norman Finley of the Joplin, Missouri, police alerts fellow officers about an unexplained object overhead. Pittsburg, Kansas, police dispatcher James Cunningham notifies the Joplin police that a UFO has been seen over Pittsburg. He describes it as an object with bright colors of “vivid blue-green with flashing lights.” Cunningham alerts the Joplin station because the object seems to be leaving Kansas and heading for Missouri. After receiving that call, Joplin’s Lt. [Charles Hickman](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/62696468/charles-r%5F-hickman) drives to Stone’s Corner near the Joplin airport. He waits for nearly an hour before spotting a UFO in the sky, which he watches for more than an hour. It is about 1,000 feet high and seems about as big as two houses. It makes turns and maneuvers “as if it were being controlled.” For the next three days, there are more sightings in the early morning hours at Coffeyville, Kansas; Joplin, Springfield, and Newton County, Missouri; and northeast Oklahoma. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** UFOs Yes, 109–110; Condon, [pp.](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/286/mode/2up) [286–290](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/286/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4175 ### Event 21178 (87BBF33D) **Date:** 1/13/1967 **Locations:** southwestern New Mexico; Albuquerque; Winslow, Arizona; Los Angeles; Flagstaff **Description:** 10:00 p.m. The crew of a Lear Jet flying at 41,000 feet over southwestern New Mexico sees a flashing red luminous object in their 10 o’clock position. The object splits into four smaller red objects vertically several times, each separated by about 2,000 feet and each emitting a “red ray.” It then retracts the lowest objects into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracks a target 39 miles ahead of the Lear Jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal. At that moment the object blinks off visually for 30 seconds then blinks back on. The UFO floods the jet with an intense red light so bright that the pilot has difficulty seeing his instrument panel. It maintains its position in front for a few minutes then blinks out, comes on again, and falls back behind the left wing. It then pulls forward again. Albuquerque radar reports that it looks like the target had merged with the jet. Both the UFO and the jet make left turns over Winslow, Arizona, after which Los Angeles Center radar picks up both targets. Past Flagstaff, the object climbs at a 30° angle and disappears to the west in less than 10 seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[R/V](http://www.nicap.org/670113winslowdir.htm)”; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 321; J.

It was 25 feet in diameter, had a dome on top, short wing-like protrusions, and three wheels on its underside. There were red lights on the ends of the "wings," and a blue light on top of the dome. A man stood inside the dome looking out, and another man was visible sitting behind a console behind him. The man standind wore a "crinkly" green uniform that covered him entirely; his face was in shadow and his facial features could not be seen. This "terrible" man frightened the boy although he could not say why. He got back into bed but continued to watch the object, which circled his house and hovered again for five minutes back in its original position before flying off. In the morning some of their cows were found to have broken through the fence around their pasture. One had broken her leg. A pond in the pasture near the site continued to remain unfrozen although the temperatures were well below freezing. This encounter occurred during a minor concentration of UFO sightings at nearby locales. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The object split into four similar red oval objects vertically a number of times, each separated by about 2,000 ft and each emitting a "red ray". They then retracted up into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracked the object 39 miles ahead of the Lear jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal. The object blinked off visually for 30 seconds then blinked back on. Albuquerque control contacted a National Airlines DC-8 over Casa Grande, Arizona, whose pilot confirmed the Lear Jet pilot's reports. Albuquerque control warned the Lear that the object suddenly darted towards the Lear at high speed, and within seconds the radar blips merged. The object flooded the Lear Jet with intense red light so bright the pilot had difficulty seeing his instrument panel, and it maintained a position in front of the Lear for a few minutes. Then, it blinked off-on again and started to fall back behind the left wing, but then pulled forward again. When the object blinked off the Albuquerque radar controllers would lose contact with the object, then regain it when it blinked on again. Both the UFO and Lear jet made left turns over Winslow, Arizona, when Los Angeles ARTC Center radar picked up both targets. Past Flagstaff the object climbed at a 30° angle disappearing to the west in less than 10 seconds. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** J.

Placed under hypnosis on several occasions in 1977, Andreasson relates that following the appearance of the creatures every member of the family except her enters a state of paralysis “as if time had stopped for them.” A Christian evangelical, Andreasson thinks they must be angels. The culminating event is when Andreasson witnesses a giant phoenix-like bird burn up and reappear from the ashes as a giant worm. Further hypnotic probing brings forth apparent memories of lifelong interactions with extraterrestrials. [Raymond E. Fowler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond%5FE.%5FFowler)’s 1979 book about the case contains the first reference to an implant in abduction literature, a motif that later becomes much more common. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 114–122; Raymond E.

He got out to check under the hood and saw a bright luminous object, 75 feet long by 30 feet wide, approach and land on three legs on the highway. It made a loud whirring noise. Something like an elevator descended from the bottom and a man walked out. He was dressed in a silver-blue, tight-fitting coverall uniform with a "fish-bowl" helmet over his head. He was about average height and appeared to be human. The UFO occupant seemed to examine something on the object. He then got back into the UFO and it took off. The total event lasted between 3-4 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Without warning the drapes parted of their own accord and a midget-sized triangular object was revealed, hovering a few feet from the house. It began beaming a pinkish light of a painfully brilliant intensity into the bedroom. When the triangle moved to the second window, the curtains repeated their opening act, and the light intensity increased several fold. At this point the girls became quite frightened and tried to flee, but all three girls quickly became weak and paralyzed, unable to cry out or do more than whimper helplessly. After a few more torturous moments the light effect dissipated and their mobility was restored, although a dizzy sensation continued to haunt the girls for nearly an hour. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, citing Robert A. Goerman **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_507 ### Event 21268 (1F31EFD8) **Date:** 1/25/1967 **Description:** Shortly after sunset, Betty Andreasson, her parents and her seven children were frightened by a pulsating reddish-orange light outside their backyard in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts. This was accompanied by a "silent vacuum" and failure of all the lights in the house. Four entities appeared before Betty in the kitchen after passing through a closed door. The beings were nearly identical in appearance, with large baldheads, gray skin, large wrap-around eyes with hazy, light gray interiors. They had "scar like" mouths and holes for noses and ears. They wore sparkly, dark blue uniforms with a lighter blue "Sam Browne" strap. They had bulky hands, possibly gloved, and wore boots.

Their leader, named Quazgaa, was slightly taller and his suit was darker that the others. The reported height of the entities was between 3 1/2 and five feet. Quazgaa began telepathic communication with Betty in the kitchen. He asked her for some food and was offered some left over meat. The beings declined, asking that it be cooked again and she cooked it on the stove. They followed her into the living room where she handed the leader a Bible. He created several copies and handed them to the crew. He in turn handed her a thin, blue book containing their form of knowledge, which remained in her possession for nine days. During these proceedings the other family members were sitting in the living room in a trance state. However, Betty's daughter remembered and confirmed part of the above testimony. Betty was then "talked into" going onboard the entities' craft. She was on board for an estimated two hours. During this time she was led through several rooms, was given a physical exam, and had a needle inserted in her nostril and another in her navel, and had a body scan by a device that looked like a giant eye. She was then placed in an enclosed seat that was filled with a soothing liquid, in which she was "prepared" for an unusual journey.

Accompanied by two guides she visited an alien realm where she saw cities, strange bug-eyed creatures, and a vast ocean. She had a traumatic religious experience, which led her to believe that the beings were some form of "angels." Returning from the journey she was led back to her home by two of the entities, one named Joohop. Her family was still in a state of suspended animation. Her daughter later recalled being "baby sat" by the one remaining entity. The beings, holding spheres of light in their hands, proceeded to put the family to bed, Betty the abductee being the last. The incident included automatic writing, speaking in strange tongues, visions, message transfer and telephone "contact," some of these occurring under hypnosis and others during the investigation. Betty was found to have several previous contacts and numerous post-1967 abduction experiences as well. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

She tells her father, and they look out the window to see a dirigible- shaped object about 50–60 feet long hovering about 150 feet off the ground above a motor vehicle shed. Before long, a crowd of 50–60 people gather around their apartment building to watch the object, which is only 100 feet away. Some observers with binoculars say it is metallic and has lights that alternate in red, blue, and green colors. After about 20 minutes, US Air Force jets approach in response to a call from the base, and the UFO’s lights increase in intensity and it speeds away. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Around the Globe,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2005%2000%20-%20May-June.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, May/June 1967, p. 4 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4187 ### Event 21279 (EAB6612F) **Date:** 1/26/1967 **Description:** Sixty military witnesses at a U.S. base in Heidelberg, Germany heard a pulsating sound at 8:30 p.m., and then saw a shiny metallic dirigible-shaped object hovering over a building 100 feet away.

Thinking that it was a hitchhiker Tad slowed down and called to him. The man did not reply but merely waved him on. He described the man as very tanned, wearing a blue coat, and a blue cap with a visor. He was holding a box in his hand. It appeared to be some kind of instrument with a dial on it, like a clock, and a wire ran from it to his other hand. A later check with the local gas company proved negative as far as it being one of their men. Furthermore, no such instrument described by Jones was in use anywhere by any of their employees. He saw the same man again the next day, but drove on. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John Keel, FSR, May-June 1967, p. 4; Albert S.

Suddenly a flash of lightning strikes nearby, and Alex sees a little blue man about 3 feet tall with a high bowler hat and beard standing motionless on the opposite bank. It is clothed in a one-piece garment with a broad black belt and black box in front. A dim glow envelops him, giving him a blue color. The other boys see it too. They begin to run toward the creature, but it disappears in a puff of smoke. The little man appears in a different spot, and the boys start running there, but again he disappears. As the vanishing act repeats again, the boys hear a deep-toned sound emanating from two spots nearby. At that point the school bell sounds, and the boys rush off to class. Miss Newcomb, the school headmistress, interviews the boys and collects their written reports in a scrapbook \(now lost\). **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** R.

However, shortly after dinner two strange men arrived at the door. They identified themselves as military investigators and flashed what appeared to be USAF identification. Mrs. Kushner described the ID card as having black printing on a durable white stock. Both men wore tan trench coats which they kept buttoned from knee to collar. The taller of the two, who did all the talking, was described as thin and deeply tanned, and having blond hair and green eyes. The other gentleman was heavy set with dark hair, piercing blue eyes and was also deeply tanned. The men were polite but very insistent about one thing: they wanted every shred of information about the girl's experience. Neither parent could explain why they allowed their children to be so intensely grilled by these "government agents." The men moved about the house with apparently total knowledge of the contents of the rooms, the placement of furniture and other objects. Their clothing looked as if it had been newly purchased and the bottoms of their shoes were unscuffed. When the mystery men left they backed their vehicle out onto the roadway, turned off their headlights, and powered away down the road. At one point one man was seen writing strange symbols in vertical columns, starting from the left, going down one column, up the next, and down the third. This was in a small booklet. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Goerman **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_553 ### Event 21291 (8A4375EB) **Date:** 1/29/1967 **Description:** At around 10:00 p.m. Mrs. Enid Campbell saw from her window in her home near Knox City, Missouri what at first looked like the full moon, but as it got closer she could see that it was a Saturn-shaped object, with the main body white in color like a frosted light bulb and a shiny gold horizontal ring around the center which had numerous round holes. The object came up to within several feet of her window before stopping, and through its semi-transparent material she could see a control panel with a lever on top, and two occupants, one seated at the panel, the other standing. They wore "shiny, silvery wetsuits." She called her sons Gene, age 18, and George, age 14, who came to the window in time to see the object as it rose and moved away. While it hovered nearby two smaller white luminous spheres approached and entered the craft through an opening, after which the holes in the central ring jetted out red fire. Then the object ascended vertically and disappeared. The snow on the ground under the spot where it had been hovering was melted, and the ground over which the object first approached the house failed to grow plants, while plants elsewhere grew normally. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Skylook, April 1971, p. 12 and November 1972, p. 8; Francis L.

They are able to remain stationary in the atmosphere or shoot along at 100,000 kilometers per hour. They move without producing the slightest sound, by creating around themselves a pneumatic vacuum that protects them from burning up in our stratosphere. Their craft have the mysterious capacity to vanish and reappear at will. Besides, they are able to affect our power resources, putting to a halt our electricity-generating plants, our radio stations, and our engines, without, however, leaving any permanent damage. So refined a technology can only be the fruit of an intelligence that is indeed far superior to ours.” The article is regarded in the West as the first-ever evidence that the Soviets are aware of UFO phenomena too. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** CIA translation of Felix Ziegel, “[UFOs: What Are They?](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP79B00752A000300090001-6.pdf)” Smena, no. 7 \(February 1967\): 27– 29 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4194 ### Event 21311 (9161378A) **Date:** 2/1/1967 **Time:** 2100 **Location:** Boadilla del Monte, Spain **Description:** Three witnesses independently saw a craft emitting light signals land a few meters away. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** LDLN 93 ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_815 ### Event 21312 (5948E37F) **Date:** 2/1/1967 **Location:** Boulder, Colorado **Description:** In Boulder, Colorado, [Saunders](https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1993-27194-001) confronts [Condon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FCondon)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FCondon) who confirms the Corning quote and wonders why Saunders is making a fuss.

A young man in Hilliard, Ohio, hears a strange noise and a barking dog. He looks up and sees an object approaching at a low altitude over a road shoulder. It lands on three legs in a field. The object is egg- shaped and about 75 feet long and 45 feet high. An “elevator-like” shaft opens and beings emerge carrying small, circular balls that they place on the ground around the UFO. The human-like creatures appear to be waiting for something. Then a man approaches from across the field and talks to them, apparently by telepathy. The witness accidentally steps on a twig, and the beings hear it. One runs toward him and catches him by the back of the neck, leaving a burned wound. Another being comes and both drag him toward the object. As they get close, the beings look at each other, seemingly panic-stricken. They drop the witness, collect the balls, and run inside the UFO, which takes off. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Startling Cases Investigated,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/037%20MAY-JUN%201967.pdf)” UFO Investigator 4, no. 1 \(May/June 1967\): 6 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4197 ### Event 21340 (0E80805F) **Date:** 2/5/1967 **Description:** At 1:45 a.m. a boomerang-shaped object was seen for six minutes by seven musicians and five other observers in Oakland City, Indiana.

The UFO had a rotating pattern of lights and came down to 30 feet over some railroad tracks, then landed near a school. It made a steady humming sound. From an elevator-like shaft came five or six tall, human-looking figures wearing black robes, who placed small spheres around the craft. A man walked up to them and appeared to speak with the entities. The teen was then noticed and the man ran after him, catching him by the back of the neck and causing burn marks. The man next dragged Timothy almost to the craft when his captors suddenly became panic-stricken, dropped him, hurriedly gathered up the spheres, and reboarded the craft, which took off rapidly. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, May-June 1967, p. 6; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 816; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. 326, 472; Raymond E.

Louis Monin, age 49, was outside his house in Sauvigny-les-Bois, L'Yonne, France when he saw an intensely yellow luminous ovoid object coming at very low altitude over a nearby cemetery. He called his 17-year-old granddaughter Marie Solange to watch it. The fat cigar-shaped object approached, then oscillated and turned red-orange, and finally landed in Monin's garden, 110 feet away from them. It was about 60 feet long and 20 feet high. At each end of the cigar was a jet of "flames," directed obliquely downward, and a crackling noise could be heard. Next, a stout little man, 3.5-4.0 feet tall, appeared standing beside the object. Monin and his granddaughter immediately went back into the house to call his wife, but when the three of them came out again the little man was gone and the UFO now appeared as a red-luminous ball about 25 feet in diameter. This ball took off and was soon lost from view. The observation lasted five minutes, and no landing traces were found in the garden. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He goes to investigate and sees a landed object about 360 feet away. He sees several entities moving around it, so he picks up some stones and approaches it. From about 30 feet away, the object looks like a hovering parachute or a grayish-green shell. The creatures, apparently wearing overalls, scurry behind the craft and go inside. The farmer throws one stone, but it stops in midair about 15 feet away and drops to the ground. He throws the other stone to try to strike the top of the object, but it bounces off something. When he gets to 15 feet away, he walks into an invisible wall and can’t see the object at all. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** CUFOS case file **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4207 ### Event 21431 (20A6A365) **Date:** 2/14/1967 **Description:** In Tuscumbia, Missouri at seven o'clock in the morning a Mr. Edwards saw a disc hovering just off ground.

The circumstances of the sighting remain unknown. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Patrick Gross, “[The Yungay Photographs, Peru,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/yungay.htm) [1967](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/yungay.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4222 ### Event 21579 (FA7D113E) **Date:** 3/1967 **Locations:** Cuba; South America; Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami–Dade County, Florida; Fort George G. Meade in Maryland **Description:** Cuban air defense radar controllers report a UFO approaching Cuba from the northwest, moving at 660 mph at an altitude of 33,000 feet. Two MiG-21s are scrambled and are guided to within 3 miles of the object. The flight leader radios in that the UFO is a bright metallic sphere with no visible markings. He is unable to establish radio contact with it and Cuban air defense orders him to shoot it down. The flight leader reports that his radar is locked and missiles ready. Seconds later, a wingman screams into the radio that the flight leader’s MiG has disintegrated. The UFO then accelerates and climbs above 90,000 feet, heading towards South America. The US 6947th Security Squadron headquartered at Homestead AFB \[now Homestead Air Reserve Base\] in Miami–Dade County, Florida, is monitoring the incident and sends a report to the NSA at Fort George G. Meade in Maryland. NSA orders the squadron to ship all tapes and data to them and list the airplane loss as “equipment malfunction.” The details sound like it might be the CIA’s Oxcart A-12, the Air Force version of which is the SR-71, which are known to overfly Cuba. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[The 1967 Cuban Jet Incident](http://www.nicap.org/6703XXcuba%5Fdir.htm)”; ClearIntent, [pp. 195–201](https://archive.org/details/clearintentgover00fawc/page/194/mode/2up); “1967: Two Cuban Jets Pursue a UFO, the UFO Destroys One Jet,” IUR 3, no. 9 \(September 1978\): 11–13; Good Above, [pp. 421–](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/420/mode/2up) [422](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/420/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4223 ### Event 21580 (45840ACA) **Date:** 3/1967 **Locations:** Ramón Martín Middle School; Guaynabo, Puerto Rico **Description:** 11:00 a.m. A group of students at the Ramón Martín Middle School in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, watch a triangle-shaped object above a nearby mountain.

A sliding door opened and a man emerged, dressed in a black, tight-fitting suit and wearing a helmet with goggles. He asked the witness some questions, such as what he was doing there at that hour and where he had been born. He then took Baldwin's gun, looked at it and then handed it back. Baldwin claimed the humanoid broke the muzzle of the gun while examining it. Baldwin said, "He wasn't white and he wasn't black. He talked very plainly and with no accent. He had black curly hair." He told me he would be back, walked up to the saucer, got in and seconds later zipped off out of sight.

Their beagle is with them. They see a solid object, estimated at 15 feet in diameter, outlined in bright white lights and with two big beams in front. As it nears the ground it takes on a disc shape and begins flashing red and green lights. The beagle is so frightened that its hair stands up straight on its back. As they turn off the highway toward Bartlett, Illinois, the object descends into a woods, lighting the trees with a red glare. It projects two white light beams into the rear window of their car. As they pull into their home, the UFO is hovering about 10 feet above a tree in their yard. A strange, localized gray mist appears and when it dissipates the UFO is gone. The beagle is visibly upset for the next two days. A veterinarian suggests he might have heard a noise inaudible to humans. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E. Keyhoe and Gordon I. R.

A dog in the car was badly frightened. The UFO, which was reportedly surrounded by a fog or mist, followed the car home. Ten minutes later in St. Joseph, Michigan a multi-colored UFO was reported hovering over Lake Michigan. It was observed through binoculars, and was described as about the size of a tangerine at arm's length. It changed colors from red to green to white, and had what were described as police cruiser lights on its bottom. It made a sound like "a hot-rod" initially, which later changed to a swishing-crunching sound. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1364 ### Event 21667 (517CDDCD) **Date:** 3/7/1967 **Description:** Later that evening UFO investigator Raymond Fowler received a UFO report from Amherst, Massachusetts of a light in the sky, twice the brightness of Venus, that changed color from white to orange as it moved away.

Wallace are returning home to Leominster, Massachusetts, when they pass through a dense fog near St. Leo’s Cemetery and notice a bright light on the left. Wallace turns the car around and heads back for a closer look. The glow is from a light that is hovering 400–500 feet above the cemetery. Intrigued, Wallace places the car in neutral, pulls the emergency brake, and steps outside. As he points toward the light, something pulls his arm back and drops it on the roof of the car, which then stalls and the electrical system goes out. He remains immobile for more than 30 seconds even as his wife is trying to pull him back. As the lights and radio come back on, the UFO rocks back and forth, rises with a humming sound, and disappears. Wallace goes back into the car, which now starts normally. Wallace still feels “slow and sluggish” on the drive back, and he collides with the garage door as he pulls into his driveway. They return to the cemetery 10 minutes later, but the fog is gone. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Driver Shocked, Paralyzed,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/036%20MAR-APR%201967.pdf)” UFO Investigator 3, no. 12 \(March/April 1967\): 7; Donald E.

Before they could get out of the vehicle to investigate they saw a 50-foot wide saucer shaped object descend to the ground in front of them. Two bizarre looking "aliens" emerged from the object and walked over to their truck. The humanoids were described as of average human height, but with large heads that were flat in the back, and gray in color. They had normal eyes, noses, and mouths. They also wore tight-fitting gray diver's suits. The men felt like they were being bombarded with vibrations and had the uncanny feeling that the aliens knew what they were thinking. Rolling down the truck windows, the men spoke to one of the aliens, who reportedly told them that they meant them no harm and they could continue on their journey if they promised to keep this meeting a secret. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Near the latter were 5 moving black "objects" about three to four feet high, arranged in a diamond formation with a fifth at the center. These "objects" or beings seemed to glide over the deep snow, then moved toward the beam of light and when they reached it, both the light and the "objects" faded out of sight. The boys headed for the nearest house, "visibly shaken, almost to the point of hysteria." Two footprints of an unidentifiable shape were found later at the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

After he reported the incident, four young men went to the area to investigate. They saw four green lights hovering low over the road, but the engine of their car stalled as they approached. Because their car had stalled on a hill, they turned the car around and coasted downhill. The car re-started then, so they drove away without investigating further. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 191, citing Coral & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs Over the Americas **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1436 ### Event 21754 (F67C98AC) **Date:** 3/12/1967 **Description:** Clyde L. Dwyer observed a large disc-shaped object from a window in his South Glenn Falls, New York home at 10:30 p.m. It was approximately 100 feet in diameter and hovered motionless 175-200 yards southeast of his home. Three large square windows were spaced around the midline of the object and just below these, jets of what appeared to be steam were emitted continually from a number of equidistant points around the object. Its dark mass was illuminated by a nearby street lamp. A white light shone from the windows, and two men and a woman could be seen in the central window, with two more men standing behind the window to the right. Although no distinguishing characteristics could be seen, "these figures were definitely of human appearance." After hovering for about five minutes, the object gradually departed toward the southwest. No sound was heard at any time. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The creature appeared to have very long hair and was in sight for several seconds before it shot upward into the sky and disappeared. The witnesses assumed they had seen an "angel." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John A.

An airman with the Malmstrom AFB Oscar-Flight Launch Control Center for the SAC USAF 341st Strategic Missile Wing south of Roy, Montana, sees a star-like object zigzagging high above him. Soon, a larger and closer light appears and behaves similarly. He calls his NCO and the two men watch as the lights streak through the sky, maneuvering in impossible ways. The NCO phones his commander, 1Lt. [Robert Salas](https://ufology.fandom.com/wiki/Robert%5FSalas), who is below ground in the LCC. Salas is dubious and tells them to let him know if they get any closer. A few minutes later the NCO calls him again and shouts that a red, glowing UFO is hovering outside the front gate. Salas tells him to make sure the site is secure while he phones the command post. Meanwhile, one of the guards is injured when he approaches the UFO and has to be evacuated by helicopter. As Salas briefs Lt. [Fred Meiwald](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/103653003/frederick-charles-meiwald), an alarm rings through the small LCC and both men see a “no-go” light turn on for one of the missiles. Within seconds, 4– 7 more Minutemen nuclear ICBMs go offline in succession. The USAF investigation includes full-scale tests on- site, as well as lab tests at Boeing’s Seattle plant. No cause for the shutdown can be found. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[‘Echo Flight’ Missile](http://www.nicap.org/670316malmstrom%5Fdir.htm) [Incident](http://www.nicap.org/670316malmstrom%5Fdir.htm)”; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) pp. 4, 323; Jim Klotz and Robert Salas, “[The Malmstrom AFB UFO/Missile Incident,](http://www.cufon.org/cufon/malmstrom/malm1.htm)” November 27, 1996; Robert L.

On the evening of March 26 at around 7:30 p.m., Robert Lore and Cecil Bailey drove north of their farms to look for lights that looked like they had landed on an isolated section of farmland. The two men drove past a man in white coveralls standing alone by the side of the road. Their dog was riding in the car, and it "really kicked up a fuss" and appeared to be terrified. When the men got home the lights were once more visible in the sky. One particular bright light was strong enough to light up the hill behind it. When they returned to the site where they had seen the stranger the next day, they found numerous nearly rectangular footprints, some of them 9.75 inches long and others 8.5 incheslong. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The object is about 12 feet wide at the base and 25 feet high, with a ball-shaped object at its top. Looking at the road ahead, Morris sees four or five large-headed humanoids moving rapidly back and forth about 50 feet ahead. He slams on his brakes, but it is too late. He feels a thump against the right front corner of his car and sees an arm with a thumbless mitten fly up, then down. The car stops 10 feet later; Morris thinks about providing assistance, but the otherworldliness of the situation causes him to get away quickly. In his rearview mirror he sees a group of the entities position themselves around something lying on the ground. In the morning, Morris finds three dents in the front bumper and right headlight ring of his car. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Youth’s Car Strikes UAO Occupant,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2003%2000%20-%20March-April.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, March/April 1967, pp. 1–4; Donald E.

Low tries to find out if NORAD can help with identifying satellites that might be misreported as UFOs and whether NORAD can’t track a UFO entering the atmosphere from outer space \(or just aren’t\), but the analysts are evasive. NORAD says its satellite-tracking radars \(with non-ballistic maneuvering and erratic flight paths\) actually can “see” UFOs, but no one will ever know because the data that does not fit satellite or ballistic trajectories are thrown out automatically by system computers. No mention is made of NORAD’s high priority for not ignoring unpredictable, UFO-like maneuverable cruise missiles or hypersonic space planes.

She suddenly felt paralyzed, and then lost track of time. She remembers a bright light outside her window and a loud humming sound. Her next memory is waking up with her foot covered with mud, her eyes swollen shut, and a triangular shaped burn mark on her abdomen. Later under hypnosis, she remembered being somehow taken into an ovoid metallic gray craft with lights around a revolving rim. She found herself inside an octagon-shaped room with lights that seemed to emanate from all around her. She was then placed on a black slab like table and was unable to move. Later she saw a being with an oval-shaped face, very light skin, and large black almond shaped eyes. The being communicated with her, apparently by using telepathy, and told her she would not be harmed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Demler is driving north on State Highway 72 just south of Lickdale, Pennsylvania, when his car’s engine sputters and stops and the lights go out. He sees an object approaching about 20 feet above the road. It is about 30 feet across and looks like “it had lights in back of a painted black glass.” It flies over the car as Demler lowers his window and he notices a smell of sulfur and oil. It emit a sound like an electric motor, which grows louder as it leaves the area. The UFO shoots off sparks similar to that of “grinding on an emory wheel.” The UFO comes to a stop alongside the car, tilts, starts off slowly, then puts on such a terrific burst of speed that Demler and his automobile seem to be pulled to it. The car settles down so fast that he is moved all the way across the front seat. When he looks up again, the object has “turned to a bluish tinge” and is far in the distance. The next day, the skin on his hands and feet begin to peel and Demler is a nervous wreck. His coworkers confirm he is in a state of physical or psychological shock for many hours. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Startling Cases](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/037%20MAY-JUN%201967.pdf) [Investigated,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/037%20MAY-JUN%201967.pdf)” UFO Investigator 4, no. 1 \(May/June 1967\): 6 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4262 ### Event 21945 (495572EB) **Date:** 4/5/1967 **Description:** At 5:15 p.m. on Highway 50 west of Sedalia, Missouri a truck driver reported that a silver disc hovered over the cab of his truck for more than a minute. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Ted Phillips, Skylook, February 1968, p. 2 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1849 ### Event 21946 (9DCD20C4) **Date:** 4/5/1967 **Description:** Ninety minutes later, at 7:45 p.m. EDT between Jonestown and South Lickdale, Pennsylvania on Highway 72 Justice of the Peace John H.

One ran home while the other hid in a ditch. The UFO descended and put out three legs as if to land, but then retraced them and moved out over the Kattegat. As it passed over the shore it threw out some "boxes." Hovering low over the water, the object lowered a box on an arm-thick cable, and eight small humanoid figures emerged from the large object and descended on the cable. They were the same size as the boy and all but one wore striped suits and had scuba like packs on their backs. The eighth UFOnaut wore a blue uniform and had no pack. They all had on striped caps and lights on their shoulders, and carried objects that looked like binoculars or cameras. They waved to the boy before the object disappeared. A lump of strange material was later found on the shore. When it was analyzed it was found to be an unprecedented mixture of substances. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Flying Saucer Review, September-October 1967; David F.

Thinking it was a fire, Galimberti stopped the train and both men attempted to approach the scene, armed with fire extinguishers. When they got close to the area they saw the multicolored lights moving around in a circular motion, and then both observed a square metallic object over three meters in width behind the lights. It had several lighted windows around its edge. At the front the UFO had what appeared to be a "rotating wheel" that emitted multicolored light flashes. Several short humanoid beings were seen walking around the object. They wore silvery gray shiny uniforms, appeared to be bareheaded, and carried what resembled "rifles" or weapons on their shoulders. The witnesses used the train horn to check for a reaction from the creatures but there was none. Another railway employee, Salvador Pomidoro, reported seeing the same square metallic object on the ground about 15 minutes earlier. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It includes acquiring data on new cases, contracted reviews on such special topics as radar and mirages, a special section on photo cases, and a statistical treatment of bulk data. He divides the research question into three tiers: “Are there really sightings that are unexplained?” “Are any of these external stimuli solid objects?” and “Are any of these objects extraterrestrial spaceships?” He asks the group to discuss criteria for answering those questions. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Swords 317–318 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4275 ### Event 22071 (ADB680B3) **Date:** 4/21/1967 **Description:** Coup d’état in Greece.

Crowder](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/53375387/clifton-neal-crowder)[,](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/53375387/clifton-neal-crowder) manager of the Mobil Chemical Company warehouse in South Hill, Virginia, leaves the warehouse and starts home. About 50–75 yards down a narrow asphalt highway his headlights fall on an object 400 feet away on the road ahead. It is pewter-colored, shaped like a storage tank, about 12 feet in diameter, and 15–16 feet high. It is standing on legs about 3–3.5 feet long. He switches to his bright lights and the object belches a white burst of flame from the bottom and ascends rapidly. Meanwhile, the road is on fire. After it dies out, Crowder drives to South Hill and contacts police. They return and find a kidney-shaped black spot on the road, about 3 feet wide at the widest point. William T. Powers, assistant to [J. Allen Hynek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek) of Northwestern University, arrives on the scene to examine the spot. Using kerosene, gasoline, and a blowtorch, he attempts to simulate the black spot, but has no luck. Where each leg of the machine rested he finds two spike holes, similar to those made by football cleats. They are about 6 inches apart, 7/8 inch in diameter, and about one inch deep. The four feet are about 11.5–12 feet apart and the diagonals are 16 feet 1 inch and 16 feet 6 inches, respectively. Powers concludes that the center of gravity is above the firepoint and notes that the intersections of the diagonals deviate 2 degrees from 90°. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[South Hill, Va.

Jenkins and seven other coast guards at Brixham, Devon, England, watch a huge, cone- shaped object through 25x binoculars mounted on a tripod. The object is hovering at 15,000 feet and seems to be revolving. Jenkins says the cone is pointing down, and the object seems made of glass or highly polished metal: “Near the bottom there was a triangular-shaped opening or door with a white rim on the top that reflected a lot of sunlight.

Emphasis for the enforcement of the operation is placed on local government militia and police forces, rather than the military. Heavy-handed operations—such as random cordons and searches, large-scale and lengthy detentions of innocent civilians, excessive use of firepower, torture, and targeted killings—have a negative effect on the civilian population. Between 1968 and 1972, Phoenix “neutralizes” 81,740 people \(26,369 are killed\) suspected of belonging to the National Liberation Front. The reported torture is carried out by South Vietnamese forces with the CIA and special forces playing a supervisory role. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Richard Helms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%5FHelms\#Vietnam%3A%5FPhoenix)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4283 ### Event 22132 (5CDFA420) **Date:** 5/1967 **Location:** Owatonna, Minnesota **Description:** A man identifying himself as Maj.

He says he will return if the symptoms persist, so he shows up the following morning. The woman sits him down with a bowl of Jell-O, which he tries to drink. “I had to show him how to eat it with a spoon,” the woman tells [John A.

When it touches down on tripod legs, the glow dissipates. The egg-shaped craft is 23–26 feet high and has no visible markings except for openings at the base through which flames are visible. The witnesses seem paralyzed or at least extremely distracted while the UFO is on the ground. When they recover their senses, they find that 2.75 hours have elapsed.

The object emitted an intense orange-reddish light and approached rapidly at high speed. It briefly moved away, but returned when one of the men signaled at it with a flashlight. It then hovered over the tractor, swinging back and forth like a pendulum. It was a domed disc, shaped like to plates put together with a crystal-like dome on top. Around its edge they could see several square window-like openings, from which a bluish light emanated. They also saw the figure of a man come out of one of the windows, who then moved up to the dome and then climbed back down to the window and entered. Finally the UFO moved away, gaining altitude and disappearing at high speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

During this time a Braniff flight was coming in for a landing on runway 35. The track of the object behaved like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected from the Braniff aircraft.

After stopping the car and getting out, he notices a huge object, 45–50 feet in diameter, hovering 25–30 feet above him. He reaches into the car and gets a .25 caliber pistol, loads it, and fires point blank at the object. He hears the bullets hit and ricochet as they strike. Before he has finished the clip, the object begins moving off and disappears in seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Car Buzzing Incidents on Increase,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2005%2000%20-%20May-June.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, May/June 1967, p. 6 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4297 ### Event 22215 (13941CFB) **Date:** 5/13/1967 **Location:** Colorado Springs, Colorado **Description:** 4:40 p.m. An object is picked up on radar at the Colorado Springs, Colorado, airport. A Braniff flight is coming in for a landing on runway 35. The track of the object behaves like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected from the Braniff aircraft. The blip appears at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When the Braniff airliner touches down, however, the situation changes radically. The UFO blip pulls to the right \(east\) and passes over the airport at an estimated height of about 200 feet. The object track passes within 1.5 miles of the control tower. The object is not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. The Colorado project finds this to be one of the most puzzling radar cases on record. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Invisible UFO Tracked on](http://www.nicap.org/670513coloradospringsdir.htm) [Radar](http://www.nicap.org/670513coloradospringsdir.htm)”; Condon, [pp. 170–171,](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/170/mode/2up) [310–316](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/310/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4298 ### Event 22216 (BD421FA1) **Date:** 5/13/1967 **Description:** At 5:45 a.m. a close encounter occurred in Lavister, near Wrexham, Wales. A 15-meter diameter metallic disc glowed blue. It shot up, stopped, and then darkened. It glowed again on exit. The witness, Mr. Williams, viewed the object for 5 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, March-April 1969, p. 8 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2806 ### Event 22217 (1EC16405) **Date:** 5/13/1967 **Description:** At the Colorado Springs, Colorado airport an unidentified flying object was picked up on radar at 4:40 a.m. MDT. During this time a Braniff flight was coming in for a landing, and the track of the object behaved like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected off the Braniff aircraft. The radar blip appeared at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When Braniff touched down, however, the situation changed radically. The UFO pulled to the east (right) and passed over the airport at an indicated height of 200 feet. The object passed within 1.5 miles of the control tower, but was not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. This case was written up in the Condon report, and it was stated there: This must remain as one of the most puzzling radar cases on record, and no conclusion is possible at this time. It seems inconceivable that an anomalous propagation echo would behave in the manner described, particularly with respect to the reported altitude changes, even if AP had been likely at the time. In view of the meteorological situation, it would seem that AP was rather unlikely. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon Thayer, in Edward U.

The man had large blue eyes, red hair, and very large ears. He wore a tight fitting red coverall like garment with short sleeves, boots, and bracelets on both arms. On his chest he wore an insignia of white dots, and he wore a white cap on his head that looked nickel-plated. He also wore a wide belt, from which hung a small box with a small antenna. The collosus pulled up a large piece of wood and sat down on it. He greeted Hamburgo in slightly accented Spanish, and introduced himself as "Wirkle, Chief of the Guard." He answered Benito's questions, anticipating them before the witness actually spoke them. He said he was from a very distant "region" and that they were an advanced race, concerned about the misuse of atomic energy. When he left he refused to shake hands, explaining that contact with him would aggravate Benito's cardiac condition. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

One object begins to hover then move away, while the other lands on a large, flat rock 160 feet away. The landed object is more than 35 feet wide and 10 feet thick with a 3-foot high cupola. It goes through several color changes then appears like hot stainless steel with blinding purple-colored lights coming through slits in the cupola. It is making a whirring sound and warm air seems to be coming from it. Michalak sits and sketches the object for 30 minutes, then a small door opens on the side, revealing a lighted interior. Michalak walks to 60 feet away and hears voices inside. Thinking it is a US aircraft, he steps forward and shouts. “Okay, Yankee boys, having trouble? Come on out and we’ll see what we can do about it.” He says the same thing in five other languages. There is no response, so he puts green lenses over his glasses and looks inside, where he sees a series of flashing lights. He pulls his head back, noting that the wall is 18 inches thick. Almost immediately the opening closes. When his glove accidentally touches the surface, it burns and melts. The UFO angles upwards and he sees a 9-by-6 inch gridlike vent with a uniform pattern of small holes. A blast of hot gas erupts from the grid, searing his chest, sending him reeling backwards, and burning his shirt and undershirt. He rips the flaming clothing off just as the UFO ascends in a rush of air. It heads off to the west, the same direction the other UFO has gone. Michalak now has a headache and severe nausea, so he starts driving back to his motel. He eventually gets to Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg and receives a sedative. His chest burn heals, but the gridlike burn lesions on his abdomen persist. The symptoms continue well into 1968, when Michalak visits the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, staying there 2 weeks and undergoing outpatient treatment. He relocates the landing site on June 30, 1967, and the RCAF visits it in July, noting a 15-foot circle of cleared vegetation on the flat rock. Michalak obtains metal samples of unknown provenance from the site in 1968. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Falcon Lake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon%5FLake%5FIncident) [Incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon%5FLake%5FIncident)”; NICAP, “[Falcon Lake / Michalak Encounter](http://www.nicap.org/670520falconlake%5Fdir.htm)”; Stephen Michalak, My Encounter with the UFO, Osnova, 1967; Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, Signet, 1969, pp. 195–198; Condon, [pp. 316–324](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/316/mode/2up); Yurko Bondarchuk, UFO Sightings, Landings, and Abductions, Methuen, 1979, pp. 37–45; Chris Rutkowski, “[The](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201981%20V%2027%20N%201.pdf) [Falcon Lake Incident, Part 1: Prologue 1967,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201981%20V%2027%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 27, no. 1 \(June 1981\): 14–16; Chris Rutkowski, “[The Falcon Lake Incident, Part 2,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201981%20V%2027%20N%202.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 27, no. 2 \(August 1981\): 15–18; Chris Rutkowski, “[The Falcon Lake Incident, Part 3,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201981%20V%2027%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 27, no. 3 \(November 1981\): 21–25; Chris Rutkowski, “Burned by a UFO?

One of them landed nearby, and blew up vegetation as it landed. It was surrounded by a glow, and he watched it for 30 minutes before a door opened, revealing a purple glow inside. A high-pitched humming sound and an odor resembling a burning electrical circuit were noted. Seeing no further activity Mr. Michalac approached the landed craft, but he then heard voices, and when he touched the craft he burned his rubber-coated glove, and he was blown backwards by a hot blast of air. The object then started spinning. The witness felt dizzy, suffered minor face burns, and second and third degree burns on his chest. He vomited frequently for the next four days, and was hospitalized, losing over 10 kilograms. The landed craft was estimated to be 11 meters in diameter and three meters tall, with a one meter high superstructure. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 1; Edward U.

This time, Jordán Peña plays UFO investigator, taking statements from witnesses who describe a low-flying disc-shaped object with the same strange symbol on the underside. An anonymous man takes several photographs that he drops off at a photo lab on June 2. He then calls newspaper photographer Antonio San Antonio, telling him where to pick them up. All but one show an edge-on view of what appears to be a large, squat disc with a rim through its midsection. One photo shows the bottom of the UFO with the Aluche symbol, this time with a horizontal bar crossing the verticals and linking the two arms. In August, another photographer calling himself Antonio Pardo produces two more photos of the edge-on disc taken the same day, as well as some hard green-colored plastic strips bearing the distinctive Aluche symbol supposedly found in a capsule that leaflets by a “Henri Dagousset” predicted in June would be found. Jordán Peña later confesses to hoaxing the plastic strips, which are made of Tedlar \(polyvinyl fluoride\) produced by DuPont for the US space program. Independent analyses by French space scientist [Claude Poher](https://minotb52ufo.com/poher/cpb.php) and the US group Ground Saucer Watch determine that the San José de Valderas photo with the Ummo symbol is a small model—an 8-inch plate suspended by a string or fishing line— held close to the camera. The symbol apparently is drawn in ink. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Ummo](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ummo\#Detractores)”; Antonio Ribera, “[The San José de Valderas Photographs,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201969%20V%2015%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 15, no. 5 \(Sept./Oct. 1969\): 3–10; Oscar Rey Brea, “[Algo sobre las fotografias del sepuesto OVNI de San José de](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Spain%20and%20Catalonia/Stendek%20%28CEI%2C%20eISSN%202604-1383%29/Stendek%20-%20Vol%2003%20No%2009%20-%20August%201972.pdf) [Valderas,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Spain%20and%20Catalonia/Stendek%20%28CEI%2C%20eISSN%202604-1383%29/Stendek%20-%20Vol%2003%20No%2009%20-%20August%201972.pdf)” Stendek 3, no. 9 \(August 1972\): 5–11; Antonio Ribera and Rafael Farriols, Un caso perfecto, Plaza y Janés, 1976; Fred Adrian, “Ground Saucer Watch Computer Photographic Analysis \(Critique\), San José de Valderas, Spain, 1967,” CUFOS Bulletin, Spring 1977, pp. 11–13; Claude Poher, “Remarks on Aluche, San José de Valderas, and the ‘Ummo’ Affair: A Monstrous Hoax!” CUFOS Bulletin, Spring 1977, pp. 3–10; Scott Corrales, “[The UMMO Experience: Are You Experienced?](http://www.strangemag.com/ummo.html)” Strange Magazine, January 31, 2001; Clark III 1183 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4312 ### Event 22327 (F6B7DC72) **Date:** 6/1/1967 **Description:** A yellow-orange disc-shaped object with three legs and windows allegedly landed in Santa Monica near Madrid, Spain at 11 p.m. Ground traces included three holes in the ground and burnt grass at the landing site.

It then "went up through the ceiling." He looked outside and saw bright blue, red, and black lights, and a strange being who had short horns, slanting eyes, and a lipless mouth. The stranger asked the boy what the garden soil was, and told him to "watch the rocket ship--he'd be back." Then he flew up on the roof with the aide of two tanks on his back shooting out white smoke. The boy said, "He didn't have a body." Two more strange beings were visible in the ship. Then the first being came back, asked Leland what a tree in the backyard was, and pointed a device that looked like a gun at him. The boy screamed and ran out of the bathroom. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The photograph shows a slightly asymmetric hubcap shaped object with a small dome and aerial extending from the bottom. To even the untrained eye it looks like a fake, more than likely produced by suspending a model from a string. Trudel believed he was in mental contact with space people, who sent him telepathic messages as to where and when they would appear. Oddly enough, two more cases of photographs being taken of UFOs occurred on this day in Austria. Two people, one named Tutter, took a photograph of a UFO in Vienna (Wien), Austria at 9:55 p.m., and two more people, one named Brettschneider, took a photo in Ganserndorf, Austria at 11:35 p.m. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Timothy Green Beckley, Flying Saucers, December 1970, pg. 26; UFO Nachtrichten, August 1967 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3408 ### Event 22366 (46791B6E) **Date:** 6/11/1967 **Location:** DA NANG, VIET **Description:** Many observer(s).

Both are hovering 12 feet above the ground. Three small men wearing what look like miners’ hats with four amber lights are underneath the boom. After watching for 10 minutes, Cuneo goes back to find another witness, but when he returns the men are gone. The two objects, however, remain until 3:05 a.m. when they take off to the southwest, flashing multicolored lights. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[June Sighting of Occupants in Canada,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Nov./Dec. 1967, p. 4 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4317 ### Event 22382 (038A5725) **Date:** 6/13/1967 **Description:** At 2:30 a.m. Carmen Cuneo, a night shift worker at a factory in Caledonia, Ontario saw two objects near the factory's scrap heap and dump area: a large cigar-shaped object on the ground, 35 feet long by 15 feet thick, and a hovering disc-shaped object about 15 feet in diameter. The smaller object, tilted up at a 45-degree angle, had a row of orange-lighted windows around its periphery. In the larger object were four square windows emitting a pulsating orange light, and from one end of it projected upward at a 45 degree angle a rod 15 feet long, bearing a large red light at the end. Beneath this light moved three small humanoid figures about three feet tall, wearing miner's hats with small lights on them. They were picking up and examining small objects on the ground with quick, jerky movements. After watching for 10 minutes, Cuneo called co-worker Marvin Hannigan to see it, but by the time Hannigan arrived the humanoids were gone. The two craft started very slowly to rise straight up into the air. After they reached a height of 50 feet they departed at about 40-45 mph without making a sound. At the landing site branches were broken and the brush charred, and an oily liquid was found on the ground. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

A family is returning home by boat near Clearwater Bay on Shoal Lake, Ontario, when they notice a bright oval object hovering 50 feet above the treetops about a half-mile away. As they approach, the object turns an orange tinge and suddenly sweeps toward their boat at great speed. They beat a hasty retreat to the other shore, while the UFO returns to its original position. The same thing happens when they approach the object again. After about 15 minutes, the object takes off at an incredible speed to the northwest. One resident, who is not aware of the UFO, reports later that the static on his radio was so bad that he had to turn it off. Wilted leaves on the top of birch, hazel, and chokecherry trees are discovered in the sighting area. Leaf samples are analyzed by the Canadian Department of Forestry, which cannot find an explanation for their condition other than heat. The University of Manitoba finds evidence of fungus on one sample but not on others. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** J.

As police approached the object the light went out and the dogs stopped barking. The two principal witnesses could hear voices coming from the UFO, talking in a high-pitched, incomprehensible "gibberish" at 2:05 a.m. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They drove to Sunset Hill to get a better view and saw it was a domed disc with red and green flashing lights around the dome. Their car radio experienced interference when the object was in view. Several weeks later, some members of the group found an area of grass matted down where the object had hovered close to the ground. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 206, citing Ted R.

From one of them came two smaller objects; one flew to the east, the other to the west. One of the discs came towards him, descending in falling leaf motion behind some trees about 1/4 mile away. It was dull metallic in color. The next thing he remembered was arriving at the beach shortly before two a.m., with no memory of the intervening three hours. Under hypnosis in 1977, Luca remembered being nude in a room with a white floor, lighted by indirect blue white light. In a later session, he remembered being on a table in this room, with two "persons" at his head and feet. The entities had large baldheads, no noses and "tapered" faces. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It was repeated at regular intervals about once a second, and she wondered what was causing it. She looked out her kitchen window, and saw dirt and loose pieces of paper flying in a large circle around her house. Outside, she found her husband, who had just come home, and five children staring up into the sky. A young boy was holding her eight-year-old daughter down on the ground. Up in the sky a box-shaped or rectangular object hung in the air, slowly rotating counter-clockwise and showing alternating silver metallic and black sides. It was black on its lower surface, and made no noise. The object began moving off at an angle, stopped and hovered, and then continued towards the southeast. Until this time the circle of dirt and dust had persisted, but it now died down. The whirlwind was confined to the area immediately around their house and did not affect any other houses on the street. When the object moved away, the dirt fell to the ground. Going to the children, the woman found they were calming down except her daughter, who seemed dazed. The boy explained that the five of them had been playing in the yard when the object first appeared overhead. As they watched, her daughter had been levitated into the air, and this levitation was apparently caused by the UFO in the sky. By the time the other children had come to her aid, she was about one meter off the ground and her clothes had edged up her body. Her daughter said she did not remember anything from the time she felt the wind until the time she recovered after being dragged back to the ground. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gene Duplantier, Saucers, Space & Science, September 1967, p. 15; Joseph M.

The disc appears from less than 2 miles away and at an altitude of approximately 2,000 feet. It travels toward the hikers, gradually losing altitude, then at a distance of about one-half mile it hovers for a moment and an object appears to fall from it. It disappears from sight at treetop level at great speed. The photos are examined by both Canadian and American authorities; [Hynek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek) describes them as some of the best photos on record at the time. An analysis by Canadian National Defence finds the object is an oblate ellipsoid with a diameter of 40–50 feet and a thickness of 11–14 feet. The witnesses sign statutory declarations to the effect that the photos are not a hoax; if proven false, they would be subject to prosecution under the Canada Evidence Act. Nevertheless, the Colorado Committee thinks the object could be a hoaxed hand-thrown model. Ground Saucer Watch declares it genuine. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Canada, National Research Council, \[[case documents](https://www.lac-bac.gc.ca/databases/ufo/001057-119.02-e.php?isn%5Fid%5Fnbr=4726&page%5Fid%5Fnbr=3614&record%5Fid=4726-3617-10407)\], 1967, pp. 13–33; Condon, [pp. 469–475](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/468/mode/2up); J.

He turns the radio off. Within 300–450 feet, his car engine stops by itself. The ignition is on but the warning lights on the dash come on. Looking up, he sees a distinct break in the fog with stars visible and a “large dark shadow” at a height of 20 feet. The shadow seems 120 feet thick. Above it is a grayish-blue glow.

It heads toward the windshield, brushes against it, then veers off to the left. As it brushes, her car lights up “like a great electric light bulb,” her engine quits, and the headlights go out. Funk is stunned, and when she regains her senses, the car is facing the opposite direction, toward the south. The engine starts up normally, but there is a cracked area in the windshield the size of a fist. She can’t account for about 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Object Hit Car in Millerton; Engine Stalled, Lights Went Out,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/52302728/poughkeepsie-journal/)” Poughkeepsie \(N.Y.\) Journal, July 19, 1967, p. 6; Mark Rodeghier, “UFO/Vehicle Very Close Encounters,” IUR 27, no. 1 \(Spring 2002\): 24–25 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4343 ### Event 22560 (854DCA81) **Date:** 7/17/1967 **Description:** While driving home at 1:00 a.m. in Newville, Pennsylvania Mr. Stanley L. noticed a light that he first thought was the moon, but it moved towards him and dropped into a position directly in front of his car. It paced him, keeping a distance of 15 to 20 yards, while he drove along at 55 mph. It was a rounded object, 10-15 in diameter, and was glowing brightly with an orange light. Stanley thought he could see the shadowy silhouette of a man inside the object working controls. When he slowed down the UFO rose above the telephone wires but continued to pace him the rest of the way home. At home he called out his sister Joanne, and her boyfriend Carl, and all three of them saw the object hovering over a field. When he drove away it followed his car again, and returned with him to the house where they could now make out the form of the occupant inside the object. The object made no sound. While they went inside the house the UFO disappeared. This encounter occurred during a continuing wave of UFO sighting reports in south central Pennsylvania. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They were dressed in black suits. Broken vegetation, a circle of burnt grass four meters in diameter, and three small footprints were found at the site. Several hours later there were widespread reports of fireballs seen by hundreds of people throughout Europe. Some believed these sightings were the result of a satellite re-entry or possibly a spectacular meteor. According to investigator Eric Zurcher, "We now know that the beings in question were already in the area three days earlier, since they were seen on the 14th and 15th by an agricultural worker." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** France Soir, July 20, 1967; Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue no. 95; Ted R.

Browne of Belfast, Northern Ireland was walking in the woods near his home on this evening when he came upon a "dish-like" object hovering eight feet above the ground. It was a dull blue-gray color with a rough and pitted outer surface, and about the size of a car.

It came right up to her car, seemed to brush against the windscreen, then veered off to the left. When it made contact the car lit up "like a giant electric light bulb." The engine and headlights failed and she lost consciousness. When she recovered the car was pointing in the opposite direction and there was a cracked area the size of a man's fist in the windshield. In September she underwent hypnotic regression in which she spoke of the radio being filled with static and unspecified beings, which turned the car around and struck her across the chest with a rod. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Larry Fawcett, APRO; Peter Rogerson, Worldwide Catalogue of Type I Reports, citing William Donovan, A.I.R. **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4132 ### Event 22564 (66CA6892) **Date:** 7/18/1967 **Time:** 01:20 **Location:** NICE, FR AND WIDE AREA **Description:** Cosmos 169 re-entry going southeast. 1 report = cylinder/cigar-shape with 5 portholes. / APRO 7'67. **Type:** sighting **Reference:** LUMIERES DANS la NUIT (LDLN), Paris.

Divak and a friend were fishing when they saw the reflection of a strange flying object in the water. Looking up, they saw a lusterless craft in the sky. It seemed to affect the sounds from the trains and from the nearby town.

Between his house and the next one, he saw a silhouette wearing a luminous suit. He thought someone was playing a prank, but the apparition was well-defined and looked real. It turned into a shapeless glow and vanished. **Type:** ufo sighting **Reference:** Keel; Magonia ([Vallee](https://web.archive.org/web/20120415100852/http://www.ufoinfo.com/magonia/magonia.shtml)) **Source:** ValléeMagnonia, **ID:** Magnonia_857 ### Event 22572 (1248D12D) **Date:** 7/18/1967 **Description:** At 1:20 a.m. Rev. Anthony De Polo, an Assembly of God minister, was lying in bed in Boardman, Ohio when he heard a very loud whining sound that rose and fell in pitch. Then he received a distinct mental message telling him to go to the window. He did so, and saw a five foot tall figure wearing a luminous tight-fitting "spacesuit." There was also a source of light coming from above the figure. At first he thought someone was playing a prank, but the apparition was well-defined and looked real. He stepped out onto his porch and mentally heard the words,"You have nothing to fear."

He began to walk toward the being when the whining noise began again and he heard, "Danger; I must go." Then the figure dissolved into a blurred glow of light. Before it completely disappeared De Polo received another message of a personal nature. On the same night and not far from De Polo's home, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dixon heard a loud noise outside, looked out, and saw an object hovering over their house. It moved off toward the south after about five minutes. De Polo has had a number of subsequent UFo sightings and "contacts." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John A.

She sees a large light in her rear-view mirror apparently following the car. The burning yellow light seems to be floating 6–8 feet off the ground, and it stays over the road. She accelerates to 100 mph as the light overtakes her car and seems to be about to land on top of it. As a car approaches in the opposite direction, the object emits a bright yellow glow that lights up the road and then disappears. She decides to return home to Pompano Beach with her sister the same morning, and at 2:30 a.m. they are on US Highway 1 near the same spot when she sees the light again, rising from a swamp and moving toward them 15 feet above the ground. Her sister’s toy poodle is terrified. The light veers away from the road and appears to land on a sand dune. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Landing in Florida,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2007%2000%20-%20July-August.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, July/Aug. 1967, p. 7 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4344 ### Event 22588 (4D43DA0B) **Date:** 7/20/1967 **Description:** At midnight a sparkling cloud seen over Pyle, England revealed itself to be a metallic saucer-shaped object on closer approach.

It seemed to be about seven-meter in diameter, circular or disc shaped, and was observed to be spinning. Some twenty people in the vicinity saw it. It stopped and hovered over some nearby trees and threw off some metallic fragments. The next morning two trees showed cuts at a height of five meters, and a third tree at three meters. On the ground were found fragments of what seemed to be burnt wood, but the inside looked like fused glass. Chemical analysis of the fragments established the presence of sulphur, copper and silicon that had been subjected to a heat of more than 1600º Celsius. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Oscar A.

A dog riding in their car became fearful of the low flying yellow light, which flew just 15 feet above the roadway in Pompano Beach. The UFO then veered off to the right and landed on a sand dune to the east of the road. Air Force investigators found a very large scorched area at the spot. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, July-August 1967, p. 7; NICAP UFO Investigator, October1967, p. 4; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 14; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 858, citing APRO **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4270 ### Event 22598 (76A5B390) **Date:** 7/21/1967 **Description:** On this afternoon in Pamlico County, North Carolina 14-year-old Ronnie Hill was playing in the garden when he noticed a strange odor in the air, and his eyes began to tear. He then saw a spherical object about three meters in diameter descend from the sky and land in a nearby field. Thinking that nobody would believe him, he ran inside his home and obtained a small Kodak camera. Once back outside he saw a small figure emerge from behind the object. The figure was about 1.25 meters in height, wore a tight-fitting silvery suit and carried in its hand a black object that it inserted into the ground, The entity then returned to the object, which took off into the sky at high speed. The odor was described as resembling propane gas. Ronnie Hill also noticed a total lack of sound during the encounter. A controversial photograph of the humanoid and UFO was taken and subsequently publicized. The photograph is widely regarded as a hoax by UFO investigators, with an eggshell used to model the UFO. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John A.

Capt. Julián Lucas Ardanza comes to the deck and sees a cigar-shaped UFO about 110 feet long, glowing blue and white. It paces the ship for 15 minutes, then suddenly dives and passes underneath the ship, vanishing in the depths. Chief Officer Carlos Lasca describes the object as a “submergible UFO with its own illumination.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Oscar A.

It is later joined by a second similar object appearing to try to “steer” the first onto a “definite course.” Through binoculars the first object appears bright blue. A second independent observation from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in the Mojave Desert locates an object visually and/or on radar to the west over Walker Pass \(about 20 miles\) and is reported to Edwards AFB. Thus the visual sighting lines intersect from opposite directions. A controller at Edwards uses RAPCON \(Radar Approach Control\) radar \(or Boron AFS FPS-35 search radar\) and confirms the visual report at China Lake but tries to dismiss the 115 mph target as merely civil aircraft that “frequently” fly over the area. The Kernville witnesses report by phone during their sighting to the Boron AFS ADC radar site. Blue Book claims the date of the sighting is in question because the questionnaire sent to the Petyaks uses the military time \(Greenwich Meridian Time or Zulu time\) instead of local time. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Radar/Visual and Sighting Lines Intersect](http://www.nicap.org/670730kernville%5Fdir.htm)”; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 326; Condon, [p. 122](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/122/mode/2up); Clark III 392 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4348 ### Event 22632 (013900E4) **Date:** 7/31/1967 **Location:** CARACAS, VNZ **Description:** Devastating earthquake.

Its mission is to gather and evaluate all information about foreign links to racial, antiwar, and other protest activity. The operation is launched under DCI [Richard Helms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%5FHelms) and counter-intelligence chief [James Jesus Angleton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FJesus%5FAngleton)[,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FJesus%5FAngleton) and headed by [Richard Ober](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKober.htm)[.](https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKober.htm) The program runs through 1973, amassing 10,000 files on more than 300,000 individuals and 100 domestic groups. The operation also infiltrates foreign intelligence targets and domestic radical organizations. The NSA assists in the surveillance with its own Project MINARET. Operating between 1967 and 1973, over 5,925 foreigners and 1,690 organizations and US citizens are included on the Project MINARET watch lists. NSA Director [Lew Allen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lew%5FAllen) testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1975 that the NSA has issued over 3,900 reports on the watch-listed Americans. At some point, the NSA is tasked with monitoring the overseas telephone calls and cable traffic of two prominent members of Congress, Sen. [Frank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank%5FChurch) [Church](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank%5FChurch) \(D-Idaho\) and Sen. [Howard Baker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard%5FBaker) \(R-Tenn.\). The FBI begins COINTELPRO–BLACK HATE, which focuses on [Martin Luther King Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin%5FLuther%5FKing%5FJr) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as well as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Revolutionary Action Movement, the Deacons for Defense and Justice, Congress of Racial Equality, and the Nation of Islam.

As he watches, it grows a bit brighter and begins to move directly beneath Polaris and then continues to the right. It repeats this in reverse and then goes under Polaris and stops. The star then migrates north and south, tracing out the elements of a large cross. It does this several times rapidly. Then it comes back below Polaris and just sits there. After nearly 3 hours, the witness decides to stop watching. At that, the star goes up to Polaris and shoots away to the left. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Michael D.

Later, they see similar lights positioned directly in front of them. Da Silva blinks his headlights, and the lights respond similarly. The lights maintain their position in front of them, moving from one side of the road to the other. When they are approaching Miguel Pereira on a mud road between Arcádia and La Chaumiere, they see two bright beams of light, one yellow and one blue, about 1,000 feet away from them on the right, apparently attached to the dome of a disc. The object follows them for at least 40 minutes and is seen by Nelson Gonçalves Ferreira at their destination in Miguel Pereira. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, Signet, 1968, pp. 16–21 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4352 ### Event 22665 (D368717B) **Date:** 8/3/1967 **Location:** Caracas, Venezuela **Description:** 11:30 p.m. A married couple and their teenage son are sleeping in their car outside their home in Caracas, Venezuela. They wake up and see a white, disc-shaped object hovering 100 feet above a nearby palm tree. Within a few minutes, an opening appears in the UFO, and a smaller lightbulb-shaped object emerges and drifts downward, stopping just inches from the ground near their front porch. A door slides open and a small, glowing figure steps out, who bends over, picks up some stones, examines them, and looks up at the larger object, apparently communicating with someone. He looks toward their car frequently. After a few minutes, the figure reenters the small object, which returns to the large disc and enters it. The disc speeds away and disappears in seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Occupants Seen at Caracas,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2009%2000%20-%20September-October.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Sept./Oct. 1967, p. 12 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4353 ### Event 22666 (E23CC8BB) **Date:** 8/3/1967 **Description:** At 11:35 a.m. in the town of Perigueux, Dordogne, France a silent disc-shaped object made five falling leaf maneuvers in the sky. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** GEPA Phenomenes Spatiaux, March 1974, p. 22 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4628 ### Event 22667 (4095BEBC) **Date:** 8/3/1967 **Description:** At 8:00 p.m. J.

After a night of heavy rain, Edgar Schielke finds a circular mark more than 30 feet in diameter in his cow pasture near Duhamel, Alberta. A UFO group from Edmonton visits the field and finds three additional rings. An RCAF team from CFB Namao \[now CFB Edmonton\], along with [Gareth H. S. Jones](https://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2000BAAS...32.1672A) of the Defense Research Establishment Suffield \[now DRDC Suffield\], visits the farm on August 11 after much of the evidence has been trampled. Jones finds two more rings. The marks vary from 5 to 7 inches wide and from 31 feet 9 inches to 36 feet 3 inches, and each is incomplete on its western side. He is puzzled as to what made the marks, can find no evidence of a hoax, and seriously considers whether an aerial object could have made them. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 162–165, 197–205 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4356 ### Event 22693 (FD1185C1) **Date:** 8/5/1967 **Description:** At two o'clock in the afternoon three teenagers in Porthmadog near Mount Snowdon, Wales witnessed a metallic, 10-foot long, beer keg-shaped object flying low and hugging the rough terrain in a silent flight up and down the mountains. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** FSR, February 1978, p. 30 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4678 ### Event 22694 (BC8D54E3) **Date:** 8/5/1967 **Description:** In Duhamel, Alberta, Canada four rings created by pressure from a heavy force or object were found in a pasture and were believed to have been caused by a landed UFO.

It is shining a beam of light at a milk house only 25 feet from their camper. The dog has stopped barking and they can hear none of the usual night sounds. After about one hour, they hear the sound of someone walking in the gravel and sand outside. Three times the footsteps are heard going from north to south. The Miedtkes remain in bed, hoping no one would know they are in the camper. After another hour, just before dawn, they hear the dog whimpering and barking, followed by the muffled noise like a huge generator that fades away after 6–8 seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Possible Landing in Wisconsin,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2009%2000%20-%20September-October.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Sept./Oct. 1967, p. 11 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4363 ### Event 22746 (A8F93B18) **Date:** 8/12/1967 **Description:** In Ogema, Wisconsin Mr. And Mrs. Miedtke, awakened by the barking of their dog at 2:30 a.m., soon observed a large hemispherical object with a fluorescent glow and a short flash of light.

They initially think it is some flying machine tested by the ranch owner, Ibiracy de Moraes, a wealthy man and former president of the Bank of Brazil. Between the object and the couple, there are three humanoid, child-size beings that they initially think are naked children before realizing that they are hairless creatures wearing a tight suit of yellow. The beings seem to be playing around silently, but then move quickly towards them. Da Souza tells his wife to lock herself up in their house. He is armed with a rifle and frightened, so da Souza shoots the closest of the beings. At the same time, the UFO emits a ray of green light that hits him, throwing him to the ground unconscious. Seeing her husband fall from the kitchen window, his wife runs onto the scene shouting, interposes herself between the beings and the body of her husband, and picks up his rifle. But during this time the beings have retrieved the one that had fallen to ground and quickly flee to enter the craft. After a short time, it slowly rises vertically while emitting a buzz similar to that of a swarm of bees. Taken to the hospital of Goiânia, the state capital, de Souza suffers from nausea and a general numbness. Burns are noted, initially attributed to a toxic plant, but when de Souza and de Moraes hear the erroneous diagnosis and are told what had happened, doctors perform a blood analysis that returns with a diagnosis of advanced leukemia with life expectancy of two months. Da Souza quickly deteriorates, suffers, develops yellowish spots, and dies on October 11. In accordance with his instructions, his wife burns the bed, the mattress, and the clothing that he has used. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 353–354; Brazil 85–88; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1967-13-08-brazil-crixas.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1967-13-08-brazil-crixas.htm) August 15, 2006 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4364 ### Event 22751 (E42B7606) **Date:** 8/13/1967 **Description:** At about four o'clock in the afternoon Inacio De Souza, age 41, and his wife Maria were approaching their home at Santa Maria, Brazil near the town of Crixas Pilar de Goias, when they saw three figures "playing about" on the landing strip of the owner of the Fazenda. The beings were as tall as young children, had no hair and were wearing skin-tight clothing of a pale yellow color. At the end of the landing strip was a landed UFO having the shape of an inverted washbasin. De Souza, carrying a .44 caliber carbine, fired a shot at the nearest being. Just then a beam of green light came from the UFO and struck De Souza on the head and shoulders, knocking him unconscious. The three entities entered the object, which then took off vertically at a high speed with a sound like buzzing bees. De Souza incurred a circular burned patch six inches in diameter, and he was also diagnosed with leukemia by a physician, from which he died less than two months later. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, March-April 1969, p. 1; Coral E.

Electrical engineer Albert Fulton and superintendent Sherman Anderson are making rounds at the Nova Scotia Light and Power substation in Caledonia, Nova Scotia. They notice steam rising from one of three large transformers, then Fulton spots two silvery disc-shaped objects maneuvering around the sky some distance away. The pair watches them a they zip back and forth in different directions from horizon to horizon in 3–4 seconds. Each time they leave a silvery line about 10 times their length behind them, which disappears when the objects stop. They watch this spectacle for about one minute, then both discs come to a common point in front of a suddenly visible gray, cigar-shaped object. After stopping briefly the two smaller objects merge into the cigar, taking 12–15 seconds. The large object disappears. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Herbert S.

Continuing home, they run across a locked, deserted shack that seems to have some yellowish lights moving around in one room and noises like muted thuds. The red glow reappears moving close to the ground from the west. Suddenly it turns brilliant white and appears to land on the other side of a brook. They run home and see a huge light like a flashlight hovering 13 feet above the ground near the house. They hear a whistling sound coming from the brook and what seem to be footsteps coming toward them. They run to a ravine where they see, about 35 feet away, a small being with a disproportionately large head and wearing dark clothing. It lifts its arms and seems to be holding a box-like apparatus with a tube. Two thin, wire-like bands appear around the creature’s ankles and give off an intense white light. They run home again. The next day they return to where the being was and find some odd three-toed footprints about 6 inches long. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[‘Monster’ Report from Sweden,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2009%2000%20-%20September-October.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Sept./Oct. 1967, pp. 1, 5 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4369 ### Event 22783 (953A2CCC) **Date:** 8/23/1967 **Description:** Joyceville, Ontario - While driving from his home in Toronto to Montreal at four o'clock in the morning Stanley Moxon, age 20, saw a green light in a field ahead of him, not far from the road.

They encountered two small beings who when discovered left hurriedly. There were no lights on in the room and their details could not be discerned very well, but they did not believe the visitors could have been children. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, September-October 1967, p. 13 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_5257 ### Event 22785 (F8CF3290) **Date:** 8/23/1967 **Description:** In Kolmarden, Sodermanland, Sweden a 15-year-old boy and girl, Erik and Inga, were walking together in the evening when they saw a reddish glow descend into the woods at 8:00 p.m. When they reached an abandoned cabin they saw a conical light beam cast onto its wall, and the red light re-appeared. Alarmed by this, they walked to the home of the boy's sisters, where they found a round, brightly luminous object hovering about 13 feet in the air. Then they heard a whistling sound and footsteps, and finally a little being jumped out from behind some bushes, 35 feet away. The being was 4 feet 4 inches tall, and its face was at first completely in shadow. Then it jerkily raised its head and arms, holding a box from which a short tube protruded. Its head was very large, covered by hair or a helmet. It had large dark eyes, and a nose and mouth that together formed an "X." It was bowlegged, and around each ankle was a brilliant, white glowing wire. The witnesses ran for home. The next day at the site the boy found some apples that had been broken apart, some of them with the marks of five fingernails or claws on the broken surface. Other apples were coated with a foul smelling slime.

It was shaped like an inverted saucer. It appeared to be on the ground or just above it, and its light fluctuated in intensity. She could hear no sound, though she was behind a glass window. She reported to investigators Roger Stanway and Anthony Pace that she "half imagined" she could see shadowy figures moving back and forth in front of the bright light generated by the object. She could not be certain because the bright light caused her eyes to strain when looking at the object. After watching for half an hour she became tired and went back to bed. The UFO had not moved during her observation. Subsequent examination of the field failed to reveal any traces. This sighting occurred during a spate of several UFO incidents in the same area. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Roger Stanway & Anthony Pace, UFOs Unidentified Undeniable, p. 11; David F.

He meets a dwarf, 3 feet tall, with a big head and bulging, reddish, glowing eyes, wearing a silver-colored, metallic-looking coverall. Andrade points his automatic weapon at the creature, but a voice from a hovering disc says in Spanish that he should not harm the creature. The dwarf then tries to convince Andrade to “come to their world,” adding it is “very distant and much larger than the Earth, and with many advantages for Earthlings.” When Andrade declines, the creature flies back into the object, which takes off. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, Signet, 1968, p. 82; Vallée, Magonia, [pp. 351–352](https://archive.org/details/passporttomagoni0000vall/page/350/mode/2up); Mark Cashman, “Behavioral Classification System for UFO Occupants,” IUR 24, no. 1 \(Spring 1999\): 18 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4384 ### Event 22875 (83B15602) **Date:** 9/4/1967 **Locations:** Clevedon, England; Welford, Berkshire; Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary; Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough **Description:** Dawn. A paperboy in Clevedon, England, discovers a 5-foot-wide, saucer-shaped, metallic object in a field. He calls the police, who send it to the guided weapons division of British Aerospace, whose chief design engineer declares it an expensive hoax. Soon five identical objects are found in fields and golf courses in the southern part of England. The sites lie on a straight path 220 miles long that spans 1° of latitude, running west to east from Clevedon to the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary. A USAF intelligence officer takes photos of one in Welford, Berkshire, and chemists with Britain’s Home Office analyze samples of a foul liquid that is seeping from one of the objects. But the objects are a prank involving 15 engineering apprentices, primarily [Christopher Southall](https://my.greenparty.org.uk/candidates/105896) and [Roger Palmer](http://www.airphotoservices.co.uk/about%5Fus.htm)[,](http://www.airphotoservices.co.uk/about%5Fus.htm) at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough. The objects are made of fiberglass, and the smelly liquid is a fermented mixture of flour and water. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[1967 British](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967%5FBritish%5Fflying%5Fsaucer%5Fhoax) [flying saucer hoax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967%5FBritish%5Fflying%5Fsaucer%5Fhoax)”; Clark III 604–605; Jenny Randles, UFO Retrievals, Blandford, 1995, [pp. 108–111](https://archive.org/details/uforetrievalsrec0000rand/page/108/mode/2up); John Keeling, “Invasion 1967,” Fortean Times 228 \(November 2007\): 32–41; “[The Great Saucer Invasion: The Day](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-41110193) [Six ‘Spaceships’ Landed in England,](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-41110193)” BBC News, September 3, 2017; Curt Collins, “[The UK Saucer Invasion of](https://thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-uk-saucer-invasion-of-1967.html) [1967,](https://thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-uk-saucer-invasion-of-1967.html)” The Saucers That Time Forgot, August 30, 2019 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4385 ### Event 22876 (CEA6F866) **Date:** 9/4/1967 **Description:** The Industrial Psychologists’ section of the American Psychological Association sponsors a program on “Problems and Methods of Gathering Data on UFOs.” Participants include [Harold Greenwald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold%5FGreenwald), [Richard H.

A. Andrade was on duty at City Hall in Valencia, Venezuela when he heard a humming noise and footsteps in the garage. He entered the garage and encountered a one-meter tall dwarf humanoid, with a big head and bulging, reddish glowing eyes. The being wore a silver colored, metallic-looking coverall. Andrade pointed his machine gun at the creature, but a voice from a hovering disc-shaped object said in Spanish that he should not harm the creature. The dwarf then tried to convince Andrade to come to "their world," adding it was "very distant and much larger than the Earth, and with many advantages for earthlings."

It seemed to be gesticulating but she did not get a good look because she began screaming and the creature flew off. Her brother in law and her parents saw the creature flying off over the neighborhood rooftops. It was surrounded by a yellow glow. Gumersindo Neiro, her brother in law, got the best view from his own room. When he heard her screaming he looked out his window and saw a little being shove off from the window sill. It "soared as if he were lighter than air, with its hands and feet pointed backwards." The creature flew eastward and out of sight among the tall buildings in that part of the city. They all said he was wearing a kind of metallic suit, and the odor of "melted iron" lingered in the air. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jim & Coral Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, p. 81; David F.

The animal appears to have been skinned from the neck to the shoulders, which are nothing but bleached bones. The cut in the neck looks smooth and surgical. The soil beneath the horse is damp, and there is a medicine-like smell. A nearby bush is flattened oddly. Alamosa County Sheriff Ben Phillips blames Lady’s death on lightning. A few days later, rangers at Great Sand Dunes arrest [John Henry Altshuler](https://rr0.org/people/a/AltshulerJohnHenry/), a pathologist at Ross Medical Center in Denver, for trespassing after dark; he has actually gone to the area to look for UFOs. When they find out he is a specialist in blood coagulation, they say they will drop the arrest record if he takes a look at the dead horse. He finds that Lady’s lungs, heart, and thyroid are completely missing and finds the complete absence of blood distressing. Altshuler begins to think the dead horse has something to do with the UFOs he had seen when he was in the Great Sand Dunes. Nellie Lewis also admits she has been watching something in the sky every night. [Duane Martin](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/69050807/duane-edwin-martin), a US Forest Service ranger, records a pulse of unusually high radioactivity near Lady’s carcass, although others think it is only background radiation. The Pueblo Chieftain reports on the case in its October 5 edition and it gets picked up by the AP. Pathologist Robert O. Adams, chief of surgery at Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, investigates Lady for the Colorado project and concludes that bacteria, birds, and coyotes are responsible for the lack of blood and organs. He finds an infection in the horse’s right flank that could have killed it; the cut at the neck might have been someone’s mercy killing. “Exhaust marks” found are probably fungal infestations, and indentations are probably weathered hoofprints. Alamosa veterinarian Wallace Leary later finds evidence of two bullet holes in Lady’s rump. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[The](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2009%2000%20-%20September-October.pdf) [Snippy Case,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2009%2000%20-%20September-October.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Sept./Oct. 1967, pp. 1, 6; “[Colorado Horse Death Ruled No UFO Case,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/038%20OCT%201967.pdf)” UFO Investigator 4, no. 2 \(October 1967\): 4; Donald Merker, “The Appaloosa from Alamosa,” Fate 21, no. 3 \(March 1968\): 35, 45–52; Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, Signet, 1968, pp. 148–158; Condon, [pp. 344–347](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/344/mode/2up); UFOs Yes, 155–169; “[Town Gets Snippy about Skeleton of Mutilated Horse,](https://www.denverpost.com/2006/12/08/town-gets-snippy-about-skeleton-of-mutilated-horse/)” Denver Post, December 8, 2006; Greg Newkirk, “[Death on the Great Sand Dunes: The Strange Case of Snippy the Horse, the First Cattle Mutilation,](http://weekinweird.com/2013/01/08/death-dunes-ufos-start-cattle-mutilation-san-luis-valley/)” Week in Weird, January 8, 2013; Sylvia Lobato, “[After 50 Years, Snippy Still a Mystery,](https://alamosanews.com/article/after-50-years-snippy-still-a-mystery)” Alamosa \(Colo.\) Valley Courier, September 29, 2017; Clark III 130–132 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4389 ### Event 22904 (BF847531) **Date:** 9/9/1967 **Description:** At 7:45 p.m. Mrs. Ritchie and three children saw 18 red lights in a trapezoid pattern, only 1.5 feet above a rural road in Winchester, Connecticut.

The next day, the witnesses find a sootlike material on the ground and tracks about 2 inches wide in the flattened grass. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, Signet, 1968, p. 69 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4393 ### Event 22923 (DA988FCF) **Date:** 9/11/1967 **Locations:** Kincheloe AFB [now Chippewa County International Airport]; Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan; Lake Superior; Duluth, Minnesota; Colorado **Description:** 10:42 p.m. According to radar operators at Kincheloe AFB \[now Chippewa County International Airport\] south of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, more than 20 radar targets appear and disappear over the middle of Lake Superior over an 80-minute period, tracked at speeds of up to 2,000 mph, sometimes turning at sharp right angles and involving separation and merging of distinct targets. Radar at Duluth, Minnesota, has also picked up the targets. The Colorado project sends [John Ahrens](https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-ahrens-a8633835) and Norm Levine to investigate. They check out rumors of visual sightings at Sault Ste. Marie, but these do not conform to the radar trackings. At Duluth, they draw a complete blank with denials all around. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[17 Unknowns in 80 Minute Period](http://www.nicap.org/670911kincheloe%5Fdir.htm)”; UFOs Yes, 123–124; Condon, [pp. 164–165](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/164/mode/2up); [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 326 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4394 ### Event 22924 (9B0E6FDF) **Date:** 9/13/1967 **Location:** East Bridgewater, MA **Description:** 10:53 p.m. EDT.

He notices an object in an adjacent football field. It is shaped like a mushroom with a domed top and surrounded by a row of portholes and a thick central “stalk” in contact with the soil. A hazy screen like a force field drops around the object, and a door appears out of nowhere and slides upward along the column. Two humanlike figures, 6 feet tall, emerge, dressed in one-piece diving suits of greenish material and helmets. One of them carries a tube-like implement, and the other has a probe sticking up from his helmet and talks to Diniz in Portuguese, telling him not to run away. He starts running anyway, but the figure tells him to come back the next day or they will take his family. The figure reenters the UFO, which takes off vertically. He sees psychologist and UFO researcher [Hulvio Aleixo](http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/MUFON/Pratt/BrazilianUFOlogists.pdf), who says he is in severe shock. At the landing site, police find some foul-smelling black material that crumbles easily. This is examined by geophysicist Roberto Murto, who finds it is made of iron, magnesium, and silica. An impression like a large footprint is also found. Aleixo subjects the boy to psychological testing and he finds no disorder. The UFO fails to return the next day. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Flying Saucer Is Reported,](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/102403919/the-baltimore-sun/)” Baltimore \(Md.\) Sun, September 25, 1967, p. 3; Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, Signet, 1968, p. 85; Jenny Randles, UFO Conspiracy, Cassell, 1987, [pp. 97–](https://archive.org/details/ufoconspiracyfir00rand/page/n107/mode/2up) [99](https://archive.org/details/ufoconspiracyfir00rand/page/n107/mode/2up); Clark III 177–178; Brazil 88–91; Mark Cashman, “Behavioral Classification System for UFO Occupants,” IUR 24, no. 1 \(Spring 1999\): 18–19 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4396 ### Event 22938 (675213B2) **Date:** 9/14/1967 **Description:** At eleven o'clock in the morning Fabio J.

When she answered the door she was confronted by a tall dark woman wearing a shimmering long gray gown. The woman asked her some questions, apparently confusing her for somebody else.

However, It was hovering just above the ground about 700-800 yards away. It was about 14 feet long, with half a dozen oval illuminated windows, and had on top a square turret. Near the UFO were four people of normal stature wearing dark uniforms and bright helmets. Two of the beings climbed up the turret, manipulating or fixing some fittings there, while the other two were examined the underside of the object. After watching for about half an hour, the external lights were extinguished, showing only the illuminated portholes. The object then rose vertically with no noise to about 500 feet, showing yellow, red orange, and a triangle of blue-green lights, and took off at extremely high speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Antonio Ribera, FSR, May 1968, p. 26; David F.

Near Sambro at 9:00 pm, Capt. Leo Howard Mersey and 20 crewmembers of the MV Nickerson see four brilliant red lights in a rectangular formation that appear to be on or just above the water. Occasionally one flares up so brightly that it causes an afterimage in their eves. The objects are also tracked on ship’s radar. They file a report with the Lunenburg CMP office. Between 11:00 and 11:30 pm, northwest of Brier Island, the captain and crew of a fishing vessel see a brilliant white light the size of the moon. As they watch, three brilliant yellow lights emerge and form a triangle around the larger light. The satellite objects then move across the sky and back at high speed. Observations are also made by other vessels. Five miles southwest of Weymouth, a policeman and three game wardens see an orange-colored light just above the tree line moving silently and slowly with spark-like objects emanating. At about 11:20 p.m., just west of Shag Harbour, [Laurie Wickens](http://www.superstitioustimes.com/shag-harbour-witness-cleans-up-interpretative-centre-after-breakin/) and four other teenagers driving in a car along Highway 3 see an object flying low, flashing four lights one after the other, in a straight line. It appears to be slowly descending at a 45° angle. Multiple witnesses hear a whistling sound “like a bomb,” then a “whoosh,” and finally a loud bang. When next seen by the teens, the object has hit the water’s surface 820– 980 feet offshore. It drifts on the surface, showing a pale-yellow light. Wickens contacts the RCMP detachment in Barrington Passage and reports he has seen a large airplane or small airliner crash into the waters off Shag Harbour. Within about 15 minutes, 10 RCMP officers arrive at the scene. Concerned for survivors, the RCMP detachment contacts the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax to advise them of the situation and ask if any aircraft were missing. Before any attempt at rescue can be made, the object starts to sink and disappears from view. A rescue mission is quickly assembled. Within half an hour of the crash, local fishing boats go out to the crash site in the waters of the Gulf of Maine off Shag Harbour to look for survivors. No survivors, bodies, or debris are found, either by the fishermen or by a Canadian Coast Guard search and rescue cutter, which arrives about an hour later from nearby Clark’s Harbour. By the next morning, RCC Halifax has determined that no aircraft are missing. The same morning, RCC Halifax also sends a priority telex to the Air Desk at Royal Canadian Air Force headquarters in Ottawa, which handles all civilian and military UFO sightings, informing them of the crash and that all conventional explanations such as aircraft or flares have been dismissed. The head of the Air Desk, Squadron Leader William Bain sends another priority telex to the Royal Canadian Navy headquarters concerning the “UFO report” and recommends an underwater search be mounted. The RCN in turn sends another priority telex tasking Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic with carrying out the search. A detachment of RCN divers from Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic is assembled on the [HMCS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMCS%5FVictoriaville%5F%28K684%29) [Granby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMCS%5FVictoriaville%5F%28K684%29) on October 6 and for the next three days they comb the seafloor looking for an object. The final report says no trace of an object is found. In the 1990s, researcher [Chris Styles](https://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/styles-chris/73410) finds evidence that there is a second crash the same night. Witnesses see American naval exercises in Shelburne Harbour 30 miles to the northeast. Speculation is that the original object may have traveled underwater from Shag Harbour to Shelburne. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Shag Harbour UFO incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shag%5FHarbour%5FUFO%5Fincident)”; Sanderson, [InvRes](https://www.scribd.com/document/429706119/Invisible-Residents-The-Reality-of-Underwater-UFOs)[,](https://www.scribd.com/document/429706119/Invisible-Residents-The-Reality-of-Underwater-UFOs) pp. 38–39; Condon, [pp. 351–353](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/350/mode/2up); Good Need, [pp. 279–282](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/278/mode/2up); Don Ledger, “UFO Crash at Shag Harbour,” IUR 22, no. 4 \(Winter 1997–1998\): 8–9, 20; Don Ledger and Chris Styles, Dark Object, Dell, 2001; Chris Rutkowski and Geoff Dittman, The Canadian UFO Report, Dundurn Press, 2006, pp. 94–98; Chris Rutkowski, “The Cold, Hard Facts about UFOs in Canada,” IUR 34, no. 1 \(September 2011\): 9–10; “[The 1967 Shag Harbour](http://www.roswellproof.com/Shag%5FHarbour/Shag%5FHarbour%5FDocuments.html) [UFO Crash: Documents Related to Crash,](http://www.roswellproof.com/Shag%5FHarbour/Shag%5FHarbour%5FDocuments.html)” Roswell Proof; “[Shag Harbour News Articles,](http://www.roswellproof.com/Shag%5FHarbour/Shag%5FHarbour%5Farticles.html)” Roswell Proof; Clark 284–285; Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 129–137 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4415 ### Event 23054 (C72489DD) **Date:** 10/4/1967 **Description:** At 11:20 p.m. Atlantic Daylight Time at least one and most likely two separate UFOs dove or crashed into the ocean near Bon Portage Island, in the area of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. There were at least a dozen independent witnesses to the event. Canadian Navy divers searched the area for three days but found nothing. This followed a series of six UFO sightings across Quebec and Nova Scotia beginning at 7:19 p.m., when Air Canada Captain Pierre Guy Charbonneau, flying between Sherbrooke and St. Jean, sighted an orange rectangular object followed by a series of smaller lights, followed by a sizeable explosion near the large object that turned into a big white ball-shaped cloud. The cloud turned red, then violet, and then blue. Two minutes later there was another explosion that turned into a second sphere which was orange in color. Like the first one it too eventually faded to blue. The smaller lights on the "kite tail" broke formation with the rectangular object and began to dance around the spheres like fireflies. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Yarmouth Light Herald, October 12, 1967; Ivan T.

A yellow light came from it, which danced around him and made him feel dizzy and soon lose consciousness. He awoke on an exam table in a windowless, oblong room that was lit by a blue light from the floor. He was strapped by metal bands attached to an apparatus on the side of the table. Four men and a woman surrounded him; although they were human in appearance they had a bluish aura. The tallest was dressed in a dark one-piece uniform and said, "at last, someone who will do," and released him. The woman had long blond hair, high cheekbones and was very fair with a freckled complexion. He had sex with her and she told him they were "from another galaxy" and were experimenting to obtain human seed. Afterwards he was tied up and told it would not be long before he was returned. He blacked out again and recovered in a field about a mile from his original location. He had been abducted for about 40 minutes. He saw the object leave, which took off with a whistling sound as it retracted its tripod landing gear and flew off. He reportedly suffered somephysiological effects after the encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Charles Bowen, FSR, January-February 1970, p. 25 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_6603 ### Event 23065 (9F661D63) **Date:** 10/7/1967 **Time:** 20:00 **Location:** WEST / NANTON, ALTA **Description:** Forester.

He goes out to check the generator and sees an odd green light moving slowly up the valley from south to north. It approaches to within 500 feet of the cabin. The object is about 75 feet in diameter and looks like two bowls clamped together. Around the rim is a pulsating green light that seems to come from a neon tube. Another green light is rotating slowly inside the top portion, and there are porthole-shaped indentations in the side. Suddenly the light on the rim is extinguished, the upper gfreen light turns white, and the object ascends at a terrific speed, trailing jets of flame. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Object Photographed in Canada,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2009%2000%20-%20September-October.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Sept./Oct. 1967, p. 11 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4418 ### Event 23067 (01AD881F) **Date:** 10/7/1967 **End date:** 10/9/1967 **Locations:** Bolivia; Cuban **Description:** Capture and death of [Che Guevara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che%5FGuevara) in Bolivia.

The man was well over six feet tall, and was wearing a jacket with four gold bars on each shoulder. The man talked to the witness without moving his lips, presumably by telepathy. He asked where the North Star was, and what the date was; in response to the answer, he replied, "In your primitive time." He then asked what the witness had in his mouth, and on being told it was a cigarette, he replied, "Oh, one of your primitive vices." He next asked about the car and said, "Oh, your primitive mode of transportation." When the witness asked him who he was and where he was from, the man replied, "I cannot tell you now, but my colleagues and I will return." Then the man walked about four feet away from the roadside and vanished. Norman then heard a noise and looked up and saw hovering overhead a red object the size of a football field. With a whining noise it went straight up, and then was joined by two more objects, and all three shot away at a tremendous speed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Edward Fortney and another real-estate agent are locking up for the night in Charleswood, a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba, when they notice a formation of brilliant red, pulsating lights above an adjacent field. They are joined by six other people who have stopped their car to look at the lights. Two similar lights appear and take up a position near the formation. The objects then rise and move away noiselessly in formation. Floating above Canada Highway 100, they appear to change positions, forming a perfect triangle. Fortney looks at them through binoculars and sees dark rectangular objects that the lights are attached to. The formation dips and bobs toward a line of high-voltage towers half a mile away. The three lights in triangular formation break up and form a single file, the wires and towers lighting up with a red glow as they speed over them. They are last seen traveling northwest. On his way home, Fortney experiences a “skullbuster” headache that lasts until midnight. The next day, he visits the site in the field and finds child-like footprints in the moist soil, 7 inches long and under 3 inches wide, leading to and from a peculiar circular pile of fist-sized stones. The heel marks seem deeply impressed in the soil. Fortney also experiences leg and back pain, sunburn on his face and hands, and a yellow- green coating on his tongue. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Yurko Bondarchuk, UFO Sightings, Landings, and Abductions, Methuen, 1979, pp. 47–50 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4432 ### Event 23168 (7E360D3D) **Date:** 10/22/1967 **Description:** Tracks of tiny creatures were discovered in a field in Charleswood, British Columbia, Canada clustered around a small pile of stones laid in a circular heap, after 17 witnesses reported seeing mysterious lights in the area. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Dennis Stamey, Flying Saucers magazine, June 1970, p. 36 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7021 ### Event 23169 (D58F18CD) **Date:** 10/23/1967 **Location:** Bristol, Avon, UK **Description:** 4:50 a.m. LT.

It was a round object with a cupola and antenna on top, and it had an oblong box on the bottom with red, green, and white lights. It was of a dull silver color, about 30 feet in diameter and 6-8 feet high. Around the rim were square shaped red and white lights. It tilted toward them, and they could see two big, square windows separated by a bar in the dome. Through these windows two humanoid beings were visible, each less than 5'7" tall, with "rocky or bumpy" skin of a chocolate brown color. They stood motionless, peering out, while several additional shadows shadows were seen moving behind them. Knobs and electronic equipment were visible inside the lighted section. The domed disc hovered in the same spot for about two minutes, tilted upward in the rear. Then the rim lights became very bright, it assumed a horizontal attitude, and shot away at great speed "like a puff of wind." The following night, Chiszar told investigators he saw two more of the same flying objects. The boys claimed their walkie-talkies malfunctioned during the observation, and a nearby dog was barking. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, September-October 1967, p. 10; Lloyd Mallan, Science & Mechanics, August 1968, p. 51; Jim & Coral Lorenzen, UFOs Over the Americas, pp. 179-180; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 889; David F.

Ritter and three other soldiers were on guard duty at the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation in California when they all observed an orange fluorescent oval-shaped craft slowly approach, leaving a trail behind it. A hatch opened in the bottom of the craft and five small drones dropped out of it. These formed into a V formation and began hovering above the witnesses. As the men looked up they became mesmerized, and Ritter began hearing a "blip-blip" sound like sonar. All four felt paralyzed at this point. Ritter's next recollection was of being abruptly lifted up into one of the objects. He then found himself lying on the floor of the craft with a Grey humanoid looking down on him. The other three soldiers were nowhere in sight. The being had large black oval-shaped eyes, grayish skin, and did not appear to be wearing any clothing. He saw three other similar smaller creatures that appeared to be assistants. He next heard a voice in his head telling him that he was not going to be hurt. Inside the object there was a misty weird light, resembling a black light. He was then given a shot in his thigh near the groin, and then one of the beings came up to his left side and somehow put his whole hand inside the upper left side of his chest. After some time he was taken into another room where he saw a bright ball of light; it communicated telepathically with Ritter and emanated a sensation of energy and love. Ritter was told that "something wonderful was going to happen" in the near future His next recollection was of standing back on the ground, looking up, but the objects had gone. He and the other men reported the incident to the military authorities, and as a result Ritter spent two months in a military mental hospital. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

G. Putnam, a brakeman on a train running from Truro, Nova Scotia, to Moncton, New Brunswick, when he sees a disc with green vapor billowing from it pacing the train at treetop level near Wentworth Station, Nova Scotia. Putnam feels an intense blast of radiation, forcing him to cover his face with his hands to look at it. The object soon drifts away from the train, tips to a 45° angle, then turns to a vertical poistion. A jet arrives, seemingly in pursuit, and the object levels out, taking on the appearance of a cigar-shaped cloud. Both fly out of sight to the west after 35 minutes of observation. One week later, the hair on the back of Putnam’s hands disappears, his hands shrivel up, and his eyes are sore and swollen. Two weeks later, his chest and throat get sore. He reports the sighting to the RCMP and the Canadian Forces, but apparently gets no response. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 104–105 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4435 ### Event 23200 (D1B5661E) **Date:** 10/25/1967 **Description:** Clive Robinson and Richard Corben, both age 14, and a third boy, reported that they had witnessed the landing of a dome-shaped object with a smaller hump on top in Malvern, England at 8:45 p.m. The object came down 200 meters away from them, and it took off diagonally, leaving behind some traces. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 890, citing FSR, 1968 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7123 ### Event 23201 (F036A65F) **Date:** 10/26/1967 **Time:** 04:30 **Location:** HOOK, HAMPS **Description:** Van malfunctions due to EME (electro-magnetic effects).

B. W. “Angus” Brooks, a former BOAC pilot and photo interpreter, is walking his Dalmatian and German shepherd at Moigne Downs near Ringstead Bay, Dorset, England. An odd-looking craft descends and hovers at an altitude of 200–300 feet at a distance of about a quarter mile from them for 22 minutes. The German shepherd has been foraging for game; when she returns she seems “distraught” as she stands beside Brooks. Her ears are pricked, indicating she is worried about the sounds she is hearing, although Brooks can detect no sound from the object. The odd-shaped craft has a central round chamber estimated to be 25 feet in diameter and 12 feet thick. Four long slender fuselages \(estimated 75 feet long and 8 feet wide\) extend from the central chamber. In flight, one of the 4 fuselages leads, while the other three are together in the rear. As the object slows to hover, the fuselages move to form a cross. The object rotates 90°, then remains motionless for 22 minutes despite strong winds. Upon departure, the leading fuselage is not the one that led on approach. The remaining 3 fuselages come together in the rear as on the approach, and the object climbs away with increasing speed. The craft appears translucent, taking on the color of the sky above it. There are dark shadows along the bases of the fuselages and the center chamber. On future visits to this area, the German shepherd appears nervous. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Angus Brooks, “[Remarkable Sighting near Dorset,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201968%20V%2014%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 14, no. 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1968\): 3–4; R.

The object is low and moving horizontally an estimated two blocks away. As it paces her car, she sees 2–3 white light beams coming down vertically from the object. Her car drives like it has flat tires or rocks that are hitting the bottom of the chassis. A second witness, police Lt. Glen G. Brunsell, sees a low-altitude, bright round light like a welding-torch that illuminates the ground. The object moves slowly with vertical oscillations and changes color from blue to green-white. It departs vertically, disappearing in 5 seconds. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[AF Log Reveals Wave,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/043%20JUL-AUG%201968.pdf)” UFO Investigator 4, no. 7 \(July/Aug. 1968\): 6–7; J.

It was plate shaped with a convex bottom side, and about 30 feet in diameter. When he got to within 50 feet of it his car motor stopped. He described the object as "full of lights", red and other colors, which alternately blinked on and off. Standing near the saucer was a robustly built man about 5-1/2 feet tall, dressed in a light colored garment (the witness could not specify the color because he was color blind). This being walked in front of the witness and turned on a very bright white beam of light from a flashlight like object. The witness thought he would be assaulted, so he half opened the car door, steadied his .22 revolver on it, and fired 6 shots at the UFO occupant. He reported that he was a good shot with this revolver, and after shooting he could no longer see him. Then the saucer-shaped craft began to oscillate, and he heard a sound like a cowbell. At last, the UFO flew away on an oblique course. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He is approached by a lighted object from the sky. A beam of light comes from a “tube” on the object and immerses the car. Almost immediately, the car stops dead. However, there is no feeling of deceleration. The vehicle’s motor, lights, and radio go off. Spargo hears no noise. The tube seems 2–3 feet in diameter. It is not uncomfortable to the eyes. After about 5 minutes, the tube closes off and the object disappears. His vehicle is suddenly going at 60–65 miles per hour again, with no feeling of acceleration. The object is only seen from underneath, but he estimates its diameter as 30 feet and about 100 feet up in the air. It glows an iridescent blue. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Keith Basterfield, Vladimir Godic, and Pony Godic, “Australian Ufology: A Review,” JUFOS 2 \(1990\): 27–28; Keith Basterfield, “[Cold Case Investigation: Boyup](https://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2012/09/cold-case-investigation-boyup-brook-wa.html) [Brook WA, 30 Oct 1967,](https://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2012/09/cold-case-investigation-boyup-brook-wa.html)” Unidentified Aerial Phenomena—Scientific Investigation, September 23, 2012; Keith Basterfield, “[Police Report on the Boyup Brook Encounter, Uncovered,](https://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2017/08/police-report-on-boyup-brook-encounter.html)” Unidentified Aerial Phenomena— Scientific Investigation, August 29, 2017 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4441 ### Event 23249 (65FC2D0C) **Date:** 10/30/1967 **Description:** At around nine o'clock in the evening a businessman was driving toward Boyup Brook, Australia when his car failed completely and stopped, although he did not recall feeling any deceleration.

When he got closer he saw that it was an object with a large rectangular lighted panel that hovered 12 feet off the ground, 200 feet away. The rectangular lighted panel was about 4 feet high and 16 feet long. It appeared to be a large window in the object whose shape was not clearly seen, but was perhaps 50 feet long. A bright spotlight came on, and he saw then three small humanoid figures, the size of ten-year-old children, coming from the machine. They moved very fast, wore green uniforms, and some type of headgear. They disappeared into the darkness, and the craft took off slowly at about 5 mph. It moved at first into a gully, breaking some trees, where it remained for another 3 or 4 minutes. The total time during which Marshall observed the object was 18-19 minutes. Broken trees were found near the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gene Duplantier, Saucers, Space & Science, Winter 1968, p. 4; Saucer News, December 1968, p. 25; David F.

Their car comes to a stop, and immediately in front of them they see an object 6–8 feet in diameter and 3 feet thick, hovering 5 feet off the ground and shaped like two saucers joined together. Around the rim is a row of alternately flashing orange and green lights. On top is a transparent dome, where two small entities are visible. The dome flips open, and one occupant floats out and approaches the car. It is 3 feet tall, bald, with ears set high on its head, round eyes, and a mouth like a slit. It is wearing tight-fitting coveralls and carries a pack on its back. It opens the car door and sits behind the wheel as Begay and Tossie move in horror to the right. The car begins to move as if fastened to the craft into a field of wheat stubble where Tossie gets out and runs toward the farmhouse of [Willard Hammon](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8575628/willard-joseph-hammon) for help, followed by another entity apparently holding a light. Begay stays in the front seat of the car with the first entity, who tries to communicate with him, twice saying something in a high, chirruping voice. The second entity returns, and the two float back to the craft, which rises and departs, a yellow flame-like light coming from the bottom. Hammon lets Tossie inside his farmhouse, where he eventually calms down and tells his story. They go back to the site, where they find Begay in a state of shock in the car. At 11:30 p.m., an anonymous witness driving between Ririe and Rigby, Idaho, sees a landed UFO with a small occupant who stops the car and taps on the side window. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[NICAP](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/049%20SEPT-OCT%201969.pdf) [Panel Studies Occupant Reports,](http://cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/049%20SEPT-OCT%201969.pdf)” UFO Investigator 5, no. 1 \(Sept./Oct. 1969\): 5–6; Donald E.

She looked out and saw a huge shadow spread across the grass, and then a figure described as tall, man-shaped, and gray in color appeared. It glided quickly across a field and disappeared into the woods. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Keel, The Mothman Prophecies **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7418 ### Event 23269 (BC33D5B3) **Date:** 11/2/1967 **Description:** At 9:30 p.m. two 23-year-old Navajo Indians, Guy Tossie and Willy Begay, were driving south of Ririe, Idaho when they were blinded by a flash of white light. Their car engine stalled and came to a stop and immediately ahead of them, hovering just five feet off the ground, they saw a domed disc-shaped UFO 6-8 feet in diameter and perhaps three feet thick. On top was a transparent bubble dome, occupied by two small entities. The dome flipped open and one of the occupants floated out and to the ground, then approached the car. Through the UFO's flashing lights the men were able to see that the being was no more than three feet tall, and bald with ears set up high on his head. His facial skin looked scarred and wrinkled, "like a cantaloupe." His eyes were round and showed no pupils, and his mouth had lips so thin as to be barely visible. They saw no nose. He was wearing tight fitting coveralls and carried a pack on his back.

To their horror, the being opened the car door and seated himself behind the wheel. Both of the men slid over to the right as far as they could as the car was towed, or driven, off the highway and out into a field of wheat stubble. As soon as the car's motion stopped a terrified Tossie jumped out of the right side of the car, and began running to the farmhouse of William Hammon a quarter of a mile away. As he ran, he found his shadow preceding him, as though a bright light were shining on him from behind. In the car, Begay cowered in the right side of the front seat as the little being attempted to communicate with him, twice saying something incomprehensible in a high, chirruping voice. Getting no response, the being got out of the car and joined the second being, and then the two floated into the UFO which took off and zig-zagged into the sky as it departed.

At the Hammon farmhouse Tossie banged on the door screaming for help. The farmer and Bob his son admitted him, and it took a period of time to calm him sufficiently to get his story. By the time they accompanied him back to the field the object had departed and Begay was found in a state of near shock in the front seat. The farmer had to escort the youths by car their fear was so great. There were attendant sightings in the area, and cattle had been reportedly "spooked" on several farms that night. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

As he pulls over, he sees a glowing, 15-foot-wide, egg-shaped UFO that moves slowly across the road from the right, passes slowly to the left, then speeds up and disappears. The object makes a sound like a refrigerator and gives off a smell like a drill boring through wood. Before it goes away, a Jaguar sports car comes from the opposite direction, and its engine stalls and lights fail. The UFO glows a vivid green color. The diesel engine is not affected. The driver of the Jaguar is a veterinary surgeon, and he and Farlow call the police from a nearby call box. The witnesses note that there are marks on the ground and the road surface seems to have melted. The veterinarian’s girl passenger is taken to a hospital suffering from shock. A week later, Farlow notices that a 200-foot stretch of the road at the encounter site has been completely resurfaced and the call box has been repainted. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Disabled Engine Continues to](http://www.nicap.org/671106england%5Fdir.htm) [Run](http://www.nicap.org/671106england%5Fdir.htm)”; Roy Winstanley, “[Now the UFOs Are Stopping the Traffic,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20Kingdom/Spacelink%20%28Lionel%20Beer%29/Spacelink%201967%20vol%205%20no%201.pdf)” Spacelink 5, no. 1 \(December 1967\): wrap; “[Landings on Increase,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201967%2011%2000%20-%20November-December.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, Nov./Dec. 1967, pp. 1, 3; Good Above, [pp. 64–65](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/64/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4444 ### Event 23292 (45F68663) **Date:** 11/6/1967 **Description:** At 6:15 a.m. in Burnley, England a car's electrical system was damaged by a close encounter with a pulsating yellow disc-shaped UFO. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** FSR, March-April 1968, p. 33 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7501 ### Event 23293 (E5E1EBB6) **Date:** 11/6/1967 **Description:** At 11:00 p.m. a couple in Kazan', Russia saw a red, Saturn-shaped object that hovered for many minutes, spinning on its axis. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. 323 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7502 ### Event 23294 (83696E69) **Date:** 11/7/1967 **Location:** BALLERUP, DK **Description:** Many observer(s).

He hears a high-pitched sound and sees a slivery gray UFO the size of a house about to land. A beam of light shoots from it, putting him in a “trance” and pulling him into the craft, where he meets two hideous-looking entities with brown crocodile skin, slits for mouths, and holes for noses and ears. They wear no clothes and have hands with only four fingers. They take Seewaldt’s clothes off and lead him into another room where one studies his hair, eyes, and nose. An orange ceiling light is directed on him and he is given a shot with a small needle. The entities dress him again and beam him back to the field. He runs home in a state of terror and hides under the bed. All conscious memory of the event vanishes until 5 months later, when it returns in a dream. In 1968 he is hypnotically regressed by a Dr. Masson of the University of Alberta. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** W. K.

They looked out a window facing the coastal hills and saw a brilliant metallic disc-shaped object. It landed on a hill opposite the apartment building. The UFO struck and shattered a tree as it came down. Underneath at either end was a red light, and on top was a spinning cupola with slat windows. Three men clad in white coveralls came out of the UFO, which hovered just above the ground. They walked around it side by side with their arms hanging by their sides. After about five minutes they returned to the disc and disappeared underneath it. The two witnesses continued their work and left the building at 2:55 p.m., noticing that the disc was still in the same spot, but by the time they reached a nearby corner the UFO was no longer in view. They had not seen it depart. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Irene Granchi, APRO Bulletin, November-December 1967, p. 3; David F.

He got out of bed and upon raising the curtain he noticed a huge bright light resting on the ground about 100 meters from his house. He attempted to wake up his wife but to no avail. He also attempted to get his brother in law to wake up, but with the same negative results. Walking to the living room he could now clearly see a landed object encased in a bright blue glow that was about five meters in diameter. He left a written note to his wife, telling her that he was going to check a landed "spacecraft," grabbed a flashlight, and walked outside. It was raining very heavily at the time that Wilson approached the UFO, getting to within three meters. A bright beam of light then struck Wilson around the waist, causing him to levitate closer to the object and completely paralyzing him. A door now opened and Wilson could see the inside of the craft clearly. He saw four humanoids, all dressed in tight-fitting coveralls. They wore a belts with large buckles that had what looke like "piano keys" on them. The beings stared at Wilson intently. Wilson somehow felt inferior when the humanoids watched him. He described them as human looking with long blond hair. Their skin appeared porcelain-white, as if they had never been exposed to any sunlight. The leader of the group conversed with Wilson and gave him several messages dealing with nuclear armaments on Earth. Wilson was to have later contacts along with members of the Brazilian defense establishment including General Uchoa. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It descended and hovered 50 yards from the ground. It carried searchlights too bright to look at, and made a loud humming sound that made the patrolman's head ache. His police car would not start and its lights went out, as well as the lights in the police booth, but they came back on as soon as the object departed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, September-October 1968, p. 5; Richard F.

[Herbert Schirmer](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert%5FSchirmer) checks on restless cattle twice at a barn near Ashland, Nebraska. At 2:30 a.m. he is driving on US Highway 6 when he notices some red lights along State Route 63 that might be a stalled truck. He drives a short distance up that road and stops with his headlights shining on the object. The red lights are blinking through the windows of a disc hovering at a tilt 150 feet away and 6–8 feet above the road. It looks made of shiny, polished aluminum. It ascends slowly with a sort of siren sound and emits a flamelike substance from the bottom. His head sticking out the window, Schirmer watches it pass overhead then shoot up out of sight. He drives back to the police station and writes in the log book, “Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!” He is puzzled to see it is 3:00 a.m. He gets a headache and a buzzing noise in his head. He also has a red welt below one of his ears. In the morning, Chief Bill Wlaskin goes to the site and finds a piece of metal that he shows to Colorado project investigators. It turns out to be composed of iron and silicon. On February 13, 1968, Schirmer is hypnotized in Boulder, Colorado, by [R. Leo Sprinkle](http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2021/11/leo-sprinkle-has-died.html). During the session he remembers that his car engine and radio failed, and a blurry white object came out of the UFO and communicated with him telepathically. He is taken on board by aliens \(who first ask him, “Are you the watchman over this place?”\). They are humanoids, 4–5 feet tall with long heads, gray-white skin, and cat-like eyes. They wear silver-gray helmets with small antennas on the left side of the ear area. Their uniforms and gloves are the same color. An unusual feature of this case is the emblem of a winged serpent on the left breast of each entity’s uniform. The Colorado project comes to a predictable conclusion: “Evaluation of psychological assessment tests, the lack of any evidence, and interviews with the patrolmen left project staff with no confidence that the trooper’s reported UFO experience was physically real.” Schirmer undergoes hypnosis again on June 8, 1968, and more details emerge. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 1034–1038; Condon, [pp. 389–391](https://archive.org/details/scientificstudyo0000unse%5Fl5t2/page/388/mode/2up); Michael D.

In the middle of the afternoon, airline crews and others near Cape Kamennyy, Russia watched a luminous sphere in the sky drop a red fireball and emit beams of light. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8162 ### Event 23424 (15A6D881) **Date:** 12/3/1967 **Description:** About one-and-a-half hours earlier, at around 2:30 a.m. Central Standard Time, a famous UFO abduction case occurred in Ashland, Nebraska. Mr. Herbert L. Schirmer, a 22-year-old police officer and military veteran, noticed a glow in a nearby paddock while driving his patrol car along a highway. He pulled in to investigate, then his patrol car engine and lights died. He noticed a silver disc about 30 feet in diameter, surrounded by a brilliant orange glow. He remembered that he tried to send a two-way radio message, but an orange and red beam directed at him made it impossible for him to move. He remembered being taken aboard the craft by four aliens about 4.5 to 5 feet tall with slanted eyes. They used language and telepathy to communicate with him. He experienced temporary amnesia for about 30 minutes, followed by headaches and other physiological effects. The case was thoroughly investigated by the Air Force sponsored University of Colorado UFO study, headed by Edward Condon, with mixed conclusions. Hypnosis was used to enhance memory recall, and the two psychological experts called in to evaluate the case developed opposite opinions. One believed the case was a hoax and Mr. Schirmer was a pathological liar, the other felt that Schirmer was totally sincere and found his account convincing. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP Investigator, March 1968, p. 3; APRO Bulletin, November-December 1967, p. 3; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 39; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 173 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_8163 ### Event 23425 (7CCC6BEF) **Date:** 12/3/1967 **Description:** That same night in Barcelona, Spain a “cactus-like” entity with four appendages—presumably two arms and two legs—was sighted.

It begins moving away; as it recedes into the distance, its light dims and turns orange. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** UFOEv II 459; Northern Ontario UFO Research and Study, “[Circular Object with Dome and Two ‘Figures’ Inside](http://www.noufors.com/circular%5Fobject%5Fwith%5Fdome%5Fand%5Ftwo%5F%27figures%27%5Finside.html)”; Patrick Gross, “[Falls,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/falls1967.htm) [Idaho, December 8, 1967](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/falls1967.htm)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4467 ### Event 23442 (1B3E2576) **Date:** 12/10/1967 **Time:** 07:30 **Location:** BUCHAREST, ROM **Description:** Many separate observer(s).

Then it passes overhead and causes the car to go off the road into a ditch, and Malley became terrified. Her son in the back seat looks immobilized with his eyes “bugged out.” A white beam emanates from the humming object above her and she hears voices in her head saying that her son would not remember this and that a friend of hers has been killed in a car accident. \(This turns out to be true.\) The car then moves out of the ditch and back onto the road facing the wrong way. She finds that she can control the car again and speeds home. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Lloyd Mallan, “Ithaca’s Terrifying Flying Saucer Epidemic,” Science and Mechanics 39 \(July 1968\): 30–33, 96–97; T.

Klass’s plasma hypothesis is not well received by anyone on either side of the UFO debate, who note that Klass is using one unverified phenomenon \(his hypothetical plasmas\) to explain another unverified phenomenon \(UFOs\). Klass and physicist [James E. McDonald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FE.%5FMcDonald) engage in a bitter, 18-month-long debate, leveling a variety of charges and accusations at one another. In September 1968, Klass writes to McDonald’s superiors at the US Navy \(McDonald is formally retired from the Navy, but often works with the Office of Naval Research\), questioning how McDonald could spend so much time on UFO research and still fulfill the requirements for his atmospheric research grant. This does not result in McDonald losing ONR funding, but it does draw some criticism of Klass from members of the UFO community. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Philip J.

Robert goes outside to warm up his car for the trip home. He sees a large object and calls to his father to come outside. They watch a big ball of red and orange fire to the east. At first they think it is the moon and go inside, but as Robert and Lynn are leaving, the object gives off a flash, and one of the dogs begins barking vigorously. They drive toward the object, which seems to be flickering in a field. It seems to be spinning and is 20 feet above the ground, sometimes less. When Ballard turns onto State Highway 50, the UFO, about 30 feet in diameter, starts following them. He accelerates to 60 mph and the object jumps to just behind their car. At one point it is hovering only 3 feet above an intersection. It keeps following them at telephone height, even though Ballard speeds up to 110 mph. After another car goes by them, the object speeds up and heads straight toward them from behind. Soon it rises and disappears to the east. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E. Keyhoe and Gordon I. R.

The bomber crashes 7 miles from the air base, causing the non-nuclear explosives aboard to detonate and rupturing and dispersing its nuclear payload of four hydrogen bombs carried on an ongoing \(since 1960\) Operation Chrome Dome alert mission to deter a Soviet nuclear first strike. The recovery and decontamination effort is complicated by Greenland’s harsh weather. Contaminated ice and debris are buried at the Savannah River plant in South Carolina. Bomb fragments are recycled by Pantex, in Amarillo, Texas. The incident causes outrage and protests in Denmark. USAF Strategic Air Command Chrome Dome operations are discontinued immediately after the accident, which highlights the safety and political risks of the missions. Safety procedures are reviewed and more stable explosives are developed for use in nuclear weapons. A BBC News report in 2008 seems to confirm through declassified documents and interviews with those involved that one nuclear bomb was lost. However, the Danish Institute for International Studies concludes in August 2009 that there is no missing bomb and that the US underwater operation was a search for the uranium-235 of the fissile core of a secondary, a small object one half meter long. For the first time, the report is able to present an estimate of the amount of plutonium contained in the pits of the primaries. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968%5FThule%5FAir%5FBase%5FB-52%5Fcrash)”; Wikipedia, “[Operation Chrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation%5FChrome%5FDome) [Dome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation%5FChrome%5FDome)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4498 ### Event 23560 (80CD2F1E) **Date:** 1/22/1968 **Description:** In response to a question by MP [Teddy Taylor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy%5FTaylor), UKSecretary of State for Defence [Merlyn Rees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlyn%5FRees) writes that the total number of reports for 1967 “reflects a wave of public interest in UFOs, reaching a peak toward the end of the year,” and that unexplained sightings \(only 46 out of 362\) are due to lack of sufficient information. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Good Above, [p. 66](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/66/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4499 ### Event 23561 (C1C41E81) **Date:** 1/23/1968 **Time:** 00:50 **Location:** COPAHUE, ARG **Description:** Many observer(s).

The shaft of light was about four inches wide and lighter in color than its yellow source. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 180 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_482 ### Event 23572 (27003576) **Date:** 1/24/1968 **Description:** John Everhart was driving home in Indiana, Pennsylvania at 3:30 p.m. when he saw a round, saucer-shaped object with a dull aluminum finish hovering over a pond some 100-200 feet away. Its top section was transparent, and he could see two men, normal in every appearance, wearing light gray coveralls inside. He could also see levers and little lights as might appear on a computer. Under hypnosis he remembered "hearing" them talk, perhaps telepathically. They were engaged in fixing something and hurried when they saw him watching them. In a subsequent hypnotic session he recalled being led into the UFO by a slender man in black. Inside were four seats on pedestals, and the light inside the craft was so bright that it hurt his eyes. He was sent by elevator into the room where the repairs were going on. The men spoke to each other in English. He was instructed to sit in a chair that rendered him immobile. There was a time lapse in his memory of several hours between his leaving work and his returning home. This case is apparently an early abduction report describing apparently normal human-looking abductors. No further hypnotic regression sessions were attempted. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He felt as though he was paralyzed. Shortly, two men over six feet tall, "who looked as though they were made of crystal," walked up to him stiffly, without bending their knees. He felt as if they were communicating with him telepathically. They greeted him by touching shoulders, and one of the beings, which had introduced himself as "Rubinako," said to him, "Krebs, Navis, Karsicujo and Krero." Only partially paralyzed, Cobo noted these words, writing them down with a ballpoint pen on his bare arms. They next told him they would meet him again in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. He had a vague recollection that the craft took off vertically. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The men acted nervous and seemed surprised that she lived there alone. They finally left disappearing down a nearby footpath.

Looking around, he sees an oval metallic object surmounted by a transparent tower on top of which is a small balustrade on which two beings are leaning. The silhouettes of two more beings are visible in the tower. The object is hovering above a munitions dump. Serafim phones one of the other sentries then shines his flashlight on the machine. As he does so, the men on the tower see him. The object emits a cloud of gaseous dust that overpowers him. When his colleague finds him a few minutes later, the object has vanished. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[OVNI com quatro seres ataca guarda açoriano,](https://www.angelfire.com/space2/insolito/terceira.htm)” Insólito, no. 13 \(June 1976\); Nuno Alves, “[O Caso Ilha Terceira \(31 de Janeiro de 1968\) Serafim Vieira Sebastião,](https://ufoportugal.blogspot.com/2017/10/o-caso-ilha-terceira-31-de-janeiro-de.html)” UFO Portugal, October 28, 2017 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4502 ### Event 23591 (117D5D5F) **Date:** 2/1968 **Location:** CANOAS, BRZ **Description:** Separate report(s).

He mentions four UFO reports and concludes that they could be extraterrestrial in origin. He thinks the 1908 Tunguska event is a remarkable UFO case and reveals that the USSR established a “UFO Section of the All-Union Cosmonautics Committee” in October 1967. Ziegel soon afterwards receives a letter from [Edward Condon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FCondon), the director of the University of Colorado UFO Project, suggesting that the Soviet and the American groups should cooperate, starting with an information exchange. Ziegel and 12 other members of his group sign a letter requesting the Soviet government to create a state-sponsored organization that would coordinate all the UFO research in the country. Next month he receives an official negative response. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Felix Ziegel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix%5FZiegel)”; Felix Ziegel, “[Unidentified Flying Objects,](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.31210023618901&view=1up&seq=103&skin=2021)” Soviet Life, no. 137 \(February 1968\): 27–29; Central Intelligence Agency, “[Nothing But the Facts on UFOs, or Which](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC%5F0000015452.pdf) [Novosti](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC%5F0000015452.pdf) [Writer Do You Read?](https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC%5F0000015452.pdf)” April 9, 1968 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4504 ### Event 23596 (B5622008) **Date:** 2/1/1968 **Time:** 20:20 **Location:** US40 6MI WITH VERNAL, UT **Description:** Reddish ball-night light moves very fast.

The UFO is about 50 feet in diameter, with seven lights on its base emitting bright orange flame. Some 8–10 other lights on its rim alternate red and green, giving the impression that the object is rotating. A minister recording his sermon captures a high-pitched, modulated, whining sound from the UFO on tape. The UFO apparently descends just west of Columbia Street and north of Colton Avenue, then proceeds to the northwest for about a mile at an altitude of 300 feet. Coming to a stop, it hovers briefly, jerks forward, hovers again, then shoots straight up in a burst of speed. The object is not detected on radar at Norton AFB \[now closed\] near San Bernardino or March AFB \[now March Air Reserve Base\] in Riverside County. An investigation is conducted for APRO by four University of Redlands faculty: [Philip Seff](http://rickright.com/dr-philip-seff-october-5-1923-february-18-2016/) \(geology\), Judson Sanderson \(math\), Reinhold Krantz \(math\), and [John Brownfield](https://www.redlandscommunitynews.com/obituaries/update-longtime-u-of-r-art-professor-dies-at-79/article%5F735624c4-a68d-11ea-942e-bb4010124e0a.html) \(art\). They conclude that the object is not attributable to any known phenomenon or aircraft, but that the recorded sound comes from an emergency vehicle. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf), p. 327; James E.

Levine says he can’t do that, Condon tells him he is no longer useful, and Levine walks out.

They drive into town to pick up an additional witness, Joseph Frabush, and return to the area, park on the main road, and walk into the pond area. The object has moved to the east. Frabush thinks it is metallic and about 30 feet long. They drive back into town for more witnesses, but when they return the light is gone and the 100-foot pond is completely frozen over. Temperatures in the area have been above freezing for several days. Small puddles and mud patches surrounding the pond are not frozen at all. The pond ice is dry, even though it has been raining all night. Investigators find that the ice is 3 inches thick in some spots, composed of 2–5 layers, and riddled with bubbles filled with air and dirt. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[The Strange Case of the Frozen Pond,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201968%2003%2000%20-%20March-April.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, March/April 1968, pp. 1–3 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4513 ### Event 23638 (48179209) **Date:** 2/19/1968 **Time:** 11:50 **Location:** BENGOUGH, SSK **Description:** 1 observer.

She hears a high-pitched whine that has such a penetrating intensity it is similar to a mild electric shock, causing a tingling sensation throughout her body. Looking out, she sees an object 300 feet away circling around a pole with an electric transformer on it. The object is shaped like two saucers edge-to-edge, surmounted by a dome with 6–7 ports, rounded at the top and extending straight down to the base of the dome. These ports are indented and white in color, resembling frosted glass. The saucers are about 8 feet wide and the dome about 4 feet wide. The body of the object looks like dull aluminum. There is a smaller, vented structure on top of the dome and an antenna on top of that. When the object first appears, a dog is seen cowering and lying in the snow, trying to cover its ears with its paws. Sixteen head of cattle, loose in the farmyard, bolt when the object moves into the area. They enter the cattle sheds and do not emerge until at least 30 minutes after the object disappears. The object moves about the farmyard, sometimes hovering, its altitude ranging from 3 feet to 20 feet. After 20 minutes, still 9–12 feet above the ground, the object leaves the farm through a windbreak and moves north until lost to view. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E.

The object was at a distance of about 150 feet, and had a cone of white light coming from the bottom of the object. It also had a green lit, rectangular window in the dome. They stopped to watch the UFO before it flew away, the total duration of their close encounter being around 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Donald A.

She saw a white egg-shaped UFO, a little larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground beside the building and railroad tracks. A short beam of light came out of the craft, pointed downward at an angle like a ramp, and 15-20 little men about three feet tall walked down the light beam in single file and jumped from the end of the beam to the ground. They were dressed in dull silver coveralls and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They proceeded to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with a hand over hand movement as if they were swimming or had suction cups on their hands. When they reached the roof, they spread out in different directions and appeared to be interested in looking down inside the building through a skylight. The girl became frightened at this point and went to bed, covering her head with the bedcovers. The building was being used as a storage site for ammonium nitrate fertilizer. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Donald A.

As he gets closer, he sees the light is coming from a mushroom- shaped object. As he reaches about 900 feet away from the object, he stops the truck and climbs to the top of the cab to get a better view. He sees about 4–5 figures about 4 feet tall spread out around the object. Suddenly they scramble toward the UFO and disappear inside. The object emits a high-pitched whirring sound that causes his truck to vibrate. Perry gets upset and climbs back into the truck, driving it fast down the road. Meanwhile, the UFO has risen about 200 feet into the air and is passing above his truck, making a noise so loud he can’t hear the engine running. Suddenly the truck engine cuts out. A few seconds later, the noise stops and Perry sees the UFO moving away in the distance. He drives to the nearest police station to report the incident. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** UFOFiles2, [pp. 126–](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n205/mode/2up) [127](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n205/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4520 ### Event 23662 (CB944844) **Date:** 2/28/1968 **Location:** ANGRA DO HERIOSMO, AZORES **Description:** 3 top weathermen.

Once the transistors are replaced, the radio works again. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, “Flappy Valley, Part 4,” Fortean Times 328 \(July 2015\): 30 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4530 ### Event 23698 (D5D24DD3) **Date:** 3/4/1968 **Description:** Several close encounter reports were recorded for this date. A photograph of a UFO was taken in Tully, Queensland, Australia. At 2:00 a.m. a series of large luminous globes circled and swayed over the Ohio River for two hours near Ravenswood, West Virginia. At 6:00 p.m. a magnetic UFO detector went off when a UFO passed over in Carol Stream, Illinois. At 6:15 p.m. a cigar-shaped object approached a car in West Seneca, New York from the left, then went over the road in front of the car. The object was 50-60 feet long with blinking lights.The witness tried to drive away but the car wouldn't respond to the accelerator. As the UFO came quite near, the witness could only see a bright yellow light. The driver of the car felt sluggish and immobilized until the UFO went away. The object disappeared instantly. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** (1) FSR, May 1969, p. 3; (2) John Keel, Operation Trojan Horse, p. 158; (3) NICAP investigation files; (4) APRO Bulletin, March-April 1968, p. 7; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 234, citing CUFOS files **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1295 ### Event 23699 (17203365) **Date:** 3/4/1968 **Description:** At 8:15 p.m. two young men saw a UFO hover over a car ahead of them near Cochrane, Wisconsin. Its headlights suddenly went out. The object appeared metallic and glowed orange while standing still, but glowed redder and brighter when it was moving. The object then approached their car and their car's engine conked out. It hovered overhead for a moment, during which time the witnesses felt increased heat and "weightless." The object left over a nearby field, emitting a cloudy haze all around its periphery. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 235, citing CUFOS **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1296 ### Event 23700 (FBEDCC44) **Date:** 3/4/1968 **Description:** In Lapoint, Utah a 20-foot in diameter round UFO was spotted on the ground at 7:30 p.m. The witness watched if for half an hour, when its light suddenly went out. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Frank Salisbury, The Utah UFO Display, Appendix case A65 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1297 ### Event 23701 (C3C26F11) **Date:** 3/4/1968 **Description:** Ricardo Castillo Trujillo, a janitor, saw a long, very bright UFO at 1:45 a.m. making a noise like an electric motor. It landed in an isolated section of Valparaiso, Chile and two crew members emerged. They were dressed in aluminum colored uniforms. Although he could tell they were light-skinned, he could not make out any facial details. Speaking in strange echo-like voices, they asked him about his nearsightedness, promising him that the condition would be cured. "I didn't understand them too good," he said, "but the fact is that I can see real good now, and without glasses." The humanoids promised to return for the witness. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Flores throws stones at the being, whereupon he walks over to an instrument resembling a radio and, moving a wheel on it, quickly absorbs all the netting. The woman approaches the pen with a cudgel, upon which the being throws its instrument at her several times; it returns to him like a boomerang, after it inflicts superficial cuts on her arms. The entity picks up the machine, which has absorbed the net as well as a bag containing sheep entrails, and puts them into a rucksack on his back. Two legs emerge from the rucksack and extend down to the ground, at which time the entity rises straight up into the air with an extraordinary sound and vanishes. 34 sheep are found dead; from every one, “certain small portions of the digestive organs were missing.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Oscar A.

Wells is walking toward the trailer home of his parents in Beallsville, Ohio, when he sees an oval-shaped, bright red object hovering above some nearby trees and illuminating the road. It has a band of dimmer red lights around its midsection. Suddenly a big tube emerges from the object and moves around until it is pointed at him. A light beam shoots out and hits the upper part of his arm, knocking him down. His jacket catches fire and he rolls around, screaming with fright. His mother and grandmother come out to help, and they both see the red UFO, which just fades away after 10 minutes. The boy is taken to a hospital and treated for second-degree burns. His scars are still visible three months later. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Boy Burned by UAO in Ohio,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201968%2003%2000%20-%20March-April.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, March/April 1968, pp. 1, 3; James E.

Wells was returning from his grandmother's house to his own home next door, when he saw a red oval-shaped UFO hovering just over some trees. The large red object was so bright that it illuminated the road. It had a band of dimmer red lights flashing around its center. "I stopped," Gregory recalled. "I wanted to run or scream but suddenly a big tube came out of the bottom, which moved from side to side until it came to me, and a beam of light shot out." Gregory turned away as the light beam hit the upper part of his arm, knocking him to the ground. His jacket caught fire and the boy rolled around on the ground screaming with fright. Both his mother and grandmother responded. Mrs. James Wells, the boy's mother, also reported seeing the UFO, which "just faded away." During the sighting a large street light on a nearby pole went out and the dog barked uncontrollably. The burning jacket resulted in second-degree burns that required medical attention. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Coral E.

The sky above is filled with a fading red light, and they see flashes on the western horizon. The two climb to the crest of a hill and look down. Sampson sees a “red, circular flying saucer” hovering over the valley, while entities with glowing red eyes march in single file close to the ridge of an adjacent canyon. Something like a church bell rings out at intervals, and mechanical clanking is also audible. After noticing two glowing-eyed creatures standing behind them, they take off running. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 557 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4541 ### Event 23726 (9620CC5D) **Date:** 3/21/1968 **Location:** ROCKVILLE, CT **Description:** 4 / (seen thru) telescope.

They saw a strange creature standing near the road in shallow water. The being was just over four feet tall and had a tough leathery dark gray skin, like an elephant. Its legs were round and thick. Its arms, or forelegs, were small, and as they watched it ambled out of the water with "a strange shuffling walk, but quite fast." They only saw it briefly before it ran into the scrub. Mrs. Walch said "it's head reminded me of an anteater's trunk." The chin or probiscus was rigid and squared off at the end, and "stuck down and out at an angle." It had no ears nor a tail, but it had small eyes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They visit the Argentine embassy in Mexico City, where Vidal calls a relative in Maipú to report that they are well. However, a June 4, 1968, Reuters dispatch from Mexico City contains a denial of the incident by the Argentine embassy, and subsequent inquiries can find no one in Maipú that could be the Vidals. Finally, in October 1998 Argentine film director [Aníbal Uset](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/An%C3%ADbal%5FUset) admits to researcher Roberto E. Banchs that he had invented the Chascomús teleportation as a publicity stunt to spread a fantastic story based on the plot of his upcoming film Ché OVNI.

Both wore dark "neat" coveralls, as if they were brand new. One of the men was about 20 years old, and he seemed to hide behind the other man as the witness approached them. The younger man stared intently at the woman during the conversation she had with the older man, and only spoke once. She continued to be mystified about how they were coming and going from her remote island location. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Peter Guttilla, Saga UFO Report, Summer 1974, citing John Magor, Our UFO Visitors **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_2456 ### Event 23814 (F35B1A34) **Date:** 5/3/1968 **Location:** 37.0000 -116.0000 **Description:** Nuclear test: Underground, confirmed.

It moved in her direction, stopped, then shot straight upward into the sky, turning red in color as it did so. At four o'clock in the morning her mother came into her room and found her lying on top of her bedsheets with her robe and slippers on; both were covered with dried mud, as were her legs. Earlier in the night her mother had found her missing from her bedroom and the door open.

Ms. Kurz stayed out of school for the next two days because of depression and recurrent nightmares. Her eyes were causing her pain, and two reddish ring-shaped marks appeared on her lower abdomen. Her menstrual cycle stopped after this incident and did not return again for a year. Later under hypnosis she remembered that she went outdoors in response to hearing her name called, and saw a saucer with windows and a revolving rim hovering close to the ground. It approached her and lifted her inside with a beam of light, after which she found herself in a bare white room. A man shorter than her, with no nose, wearing what looked like a dark "motorcycle jacket" and another being, a "doctor" in a long coat, forced her onto an exam table. He inserted a long needle into her navel. A third being, the "leader," next entered the room. The UFOnauts all had very "penetrating" eyes with no pupils. They said to her, "We've watched you. You're the one. We want you as a mate." He also said that they came "from very, very far." The others went out and the leader proceeded to undress her and then rape her. He told her she would not remember. She was floated down to the ground again by a light beam. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

They took off in fear in their automobile, but when they looked again from a side road the silhouetted figure was still visible and still moving towards them. This time they drove several miles before stopping. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

In the courtyard of his house he sees a cylinder-shaped object, about the size of a powdered-milk can, stuck in the ground. At each end are dials, one with a black band, the other with a red one. They are encased under a glass or plastic lens with embossed figures arranged in a semicircle. Above each figure is something like an Arabic numeral. Dos Santos takes the object into the house and studies it for 90 minutes, then puts it on a windowsill in the bathroom before going to bed. He goes back to work, then at about 1:00 a.m., he returns home and notices that the object is lighting up the house, with his wife and son, very agitated, standing outside with neighbors. She tells him that a loud buzzing and intense heat had wakened her, both emanating from the object. Dos Santos goes inside and finds a hole in the roof, tile scattered over the floor, and the object gone. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Brazilian](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201968%2007%2000%20-%20July-August.pdf) [Object Real Puzzler,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201968%2007%2000%20-%20July-August.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, July/Aug. 1968, pp. 1, 3; Walter Buehler, “[The Mysterious Caconde Case,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201969%20V%2015%20N%204.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 15, no. 4 \(July/Aug. 1969\): 18–19; Clark III 339 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4554 ### Event 23843 (EB6CF554) **Date:** 5/17/1968 **Description:** At 8:45 p.m. Jose Da Silva, the driver of a VW minibus, and three passengers were listening to the radio under a light rain while driving between Florianopolis and Lagune, Santa Catalina State, Brazil when they suddenly heard a whirring sound and noticed a diffused light over the road. Suddenly the van rose up in the air about 50 centimeters and stayed there for a moment before coming down and again rising up in the air before it was set down on the road again, this time more slowly. The four men then noticed an intensely luminous circular object hovering overhead at about 100 meters altitude. Frightened, they watched from the van while the UFO hovered above them. They described the object as only about two meters in diameter with several porthole-like windows on its lower part. Through the portholes shadows or sillouhetted figures were visible moving about inside. A reddish light emanated from the top of the object. The UFO remained motionless for a few minutes, and then tilted at an angle and disappeared towards the ocean. After the incident all four men suffered from nausea and vomiting. One of the men also lost all the hair from his eyebrows. Da Silva, who before the incident had had an abundant head of hair, became bald in less than a year. A circular burnt area was found on the roof of the minibus. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Inforespace, February 1976; Albert S.

He saw nothing and returned inside. He heard the noise again and went back outside. Looking towards a nearby empty field he saw a hovering disc-shaped UFO, with a dome on top and bottom. Around the bottom part of the object were yellow, red, and orange lights. He estimated the craft to be about 1.5 meters in thickness and six meters in diameter, and the craft was rotating in a counter-clockwise direction. He watched the object for 40 minutes while it remained motionless, then the craft shot away at a ninety-degree angle towards some nearby wooded hills. It remained stationary there for 40 minutes and then made an abrupt jump, hovered again, and shot off at a high rate of speed. Sr. Yaru then felt a strange urge to bathe in a nearby brook, which he did despite the very low outdoor temperatures at the time. He felt a strange need to "cleanse" himself. At the same time a neighbor, Adela Garcia, heard the same noise and noticed in the same empty field a strange triangular shaped cloud. A giant man-like figure, over two meters tall, with long blond hair, descended to the ground from the cloud. The strange being, which Garcia likened to Jesus Christ, approached her and she knelt before him. Averting her eyes from the being briefly, she looked up and both the being and the cloud were gone. A large are of scorched grass was found in the field. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Oscar A.

Isidro Puentes Ventura is on guard duty in Cabañas, Artemisa, Cuba, when he sees on the ground a brilliant domed UFO with several antennas on top. He approaches to within 165 feet and fires about 40 machine gun rounds into it, convinced it is American. The object turns orange and emits a whistling sound as Puentes loses consciousness. At dawn, an Army patrol finds him still unconscious and takes him to a hospital in Pinar del Rio, where he remains in shock for 6 days, unable to speak. He is then taken to a Naval hospital in Havana, where he remains in shock another week. At the site, Cuban and Soviet intelligence specialists find 48 spent cartridges and 14 bullets flattened by impact with something solid, as well as equally spaced indentations on the ground. Tests reveal that the soil has been exposed to a high temperature. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacques Vallée, UFO Chronicles of the Soviet Union: A Cosmic Samizdat, Ballantine, 1992, [pp. 82–85](https://archive.org/details/ufochroniclesofs00vall/page/82/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4565 ### Event 23905 (5843B7B8) **Date:** 6/14/1968 **Description:** At 45 minutes after midnight Mr. Pedro Pretzel, a 36-year-old hotel proprietor in the resort town of Villa Carlos Paz, Cordoba, Argentina sighted a UFO with two very intense beams of red light while walking home. A short while later his 19-year-old daughter Maria, who had been working as the hotel receptionist, encountered a six and a half foot tall blond man dressed in a sky blue diver suit, holding a sky blue sphere in his left hand. On his right hand was a huge ring, like a gauntlet covering half his hand. The ends of his fingers and toes emitted light, and whenever he pointed his hand at her she felt faint and began to lose consciousness. He smiled and spoke to her in an unintelligible language for some minutes before leaving. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Charles Bowen, FSR, September-October 1968, p. 11; Jane Thomas, FSR, November-December 1972, p. 24; Oscar A Galindez, FSR, January 1981, p. 8; David F.

Shortly after midnight several bursts of machine gun fire were heard coming from a location in the vicinity where militia member Isidro Puentes Ventura was on guard duty. At dawn, Puentes was found unconscious by an Army patrol and taken to a hospital in Pinar Del Rio, where he remained in shock and unable to speak for six days. Removed to the neurological ward at the Naval Hospital in Havana, Puentes was diagnosed to be suffering from emotional trauma, remaining in shock for another week. At the site where Puentes had been posted, Cuban and Soviet intelligence investigators found forty-eight spent cartridges and fourteen bullets apparently flattened by impact, as well as equally spaced indentations in the ground, indicating that a heavy device had landed. At the landing site three indentations were found suggesting tripod landing gear, inscribing a circle about four meters in diameter. Tests revealed that the soil had been exposed to a high degree of heat.

When Puentes recovered consciousness he reported that he had come to within 150 feet of a brilliant disc-shaped object on the ground, with a dome and several antennas on top. Convinced that the device was an American helicopter, Puentes fired at it. The craft turned orange and emitted a loud whistling sound, Puentes last recollection before losing consciousness. Soviet intelligence specialists subjected Puentes to a fifty-hour interrogation after which he was examined by a team of psychiatrists and put through fifteen hypnosis sessions. No contradictions were found in his story. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, UFO Chronicles of the Soviet Union: A Cosmic Samizdat, p. 82; Timothy Good, Beyond Top Secret, citing Jacques Vallee **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3479 ### Event 23907 (82890BAA) **Date:** 6/14/1968 **Description:** At 6 p.m., or about the same time that the widely publicized asteroid "Icarus" passed close to Earth, strange events were reported in the northern Italian province of Abruzzi. A semi-hysterical woman phoned the Celano, Italy police station reporting that three huge, disc-shaped UFOs were hovering outside of town. The objects glowed a pale red. Lt. Germonde took the call. Minutes later other witnesses reported seeing "spinning discs" the size of houses slowly descend to the ground in a wooded area near the town. But soon it got much weirder. Lt. Germonde received a call from a bar-restaurant owner reporting "huge birds with tiny wings and with faces like humans." According to the witness there were four or five huge birds or flying humanoids flying towards Celano. The strange creatures were described as three-feet in height and flying upright, as if they were men being propelled above the ground by some unknown force. No wings were visible, only a blur above their shoulders like the fast-moving wings of a hummingbird. Whatever kept them flying was small and moving very fast. The creatures reportedly flew at a height of only a few feet above the ground. They appeared to have trouble moving in heavily wooded areas. Their faces were reported to have been human like, but contained blank looks. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

He is 6 feet tall and dressed in a blue helmet and a suit that glows with an eerie light and seems made up of scales. In his left hand he is holding a glassy sphere that is radiating a coherent light that lights up the room. She feels somewhat paralyzed and is getting a mental message not to be afraid. The entity raises its other arm, which is emitting beams of light, and she feels helpless, falling backward. The entity walks slowly toward the outside door, putting one foot directly in front of the other, arm extended and holding the now extinguished sphere, and passes outside. Still shaken, María goes to the laundry room and drops on the floor, head and arms on a divan. A few minutes later, her father, Pedro Jacobo Pretzel, arrives and discovers her. Minutes earlier, he had seen two odd, stationary red lights about 5–6 feet from the ground off Highway 20. Maria is conscious but very disturbed, a condition that lasts for several days. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Oscar A.

Posadas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FPosadas), who formed a movement in 1962 based on the inevitability of nuclear war, has proclaimed an interest in UFOs as entities with the ability to master sophisticated technologies that are compatible with socialism. If UFOs exist, they might be helpful in addressing some of the major problems in the earth. In his pamphlet, Les Soucoupes Volantes: Le processus de la matière et de l’energie, la science et le socialisme, Posadas pleads that “We must call upon beings from other planets when they come to intervene, to collaborate with the inhabitants of the Earth to overcome misery. We must launch a call on them to use their resources to help us.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** J.

The UFO had on its lower part a kind of helix, where lights of white and sky-blue were revolving. It hovered about 20 meters up and 50 meters away from the boys. On the upper part of the object appeared a couple, a man and a woman, who floated in the air. They were of enormous stature with long white hair, and they wore luminous close fitting garments. Holding hands, they began to descend slowly, disappearing into the object without any door opening.

Their dress and actions were like normal people, but they showed him a spherical device some 30 cm in which he could see images of people walking about. Speaking in a strange, metallic voice, one of them asked him, "Do you know these people? They were like you. Many more will be like them. Many people in the world will see the same thing you have seen. We will talk about this again. If you speak of this, be sure it is with responsible people." At that point the witness experienced a lapse of memory, for the next thing he recalls was being back in the laboratory, where it took him an hour to compose himself. The people he saw in the images were all tall and human like, with pale complexions, and long, light colored hair, who appeared to be walking about in a trance. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He sees a light about 1,600 feet further downhill shining through the mist. The mist parts, and he sees an enormous object that suddenly reminds him of an encounter he had with a strange hermit on the island of Rhodes in Greece when he was in the Italian army in World War II. The hermit had predicted he would someday meet with advanced beings from the cosmos who would provide him with the assurance of life throughout the universe. Rizzi makes his way downhill toward the object, which is silvery, some 260 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, bathed in fleecy white light, and emitting a burning odor. He gets within 10 feet and cannot go further. He sees two beings inside a transparent cupola on the top who are looking down at him. To the right of the object is a robot about 8 feet tall with three legs and four arms. A beam of light comes from the center of the object, and Rizzi sees another being dressed in a tight-fitting suit and glass helmet descending. They communicate telepathically about other planets and the universe. Eventually the entities reenter the object and take off. Rizzi claims there are landing marks, effects on the grass, and his watch starts losing time. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, “[Introductory Comments on the Rizzi Case,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 26, no. 3 \(September 1980\): 21–22; Walter Rizzi, “[Close Encounter in the Dolomites,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201980%20V%2026%20N%203.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 26, no. 3 \(September 1980\): 22–27; 1Pinotti 158–169 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4576 ### Event 23983 (534AF935) **Date:** 7/1/1968 **Time:** 04:00 **Location:** RICARDONE, ARG **Description:** 2 3M figure(s) Exert telepathy influence to stay.

Suddenly they see a large object “as big as a house” sitting about 1,150 feet to the west of them. It has a large tripod undercarriage and a ladder reaching down to the ground. The boys can hear a weird “tinging sound on a high note.” They start to yell as the UFO retracts its tripod and ladder and rise into the air and speed off to the east, reaching a great altitude. Alerted by their shouts, other witnesses see the object moving away. A student named Antônio Alegre examines the landing site shortly afterward and finds marks forming an isosceles triangle, two sides measuring 20 feet and one side 23 feet. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nigel Rimes, “[Landing at](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201968%20V%2014%20N%206.pdf) [Botucatu,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201968%20V%2014%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 14, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1968\): 21–24 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4578 ### Event 23992 (B4FD9810) **Date:** 7/1/1968 **Description:** Returning home at four o'clock in the morning after a dance, 17-year-old Raul Salcedo encountered two very tall strange beings in Ricardone, Entre Rios, Argentina. They were nearly 10 feet tall. He "felt himself drawn towards them by the powerful magnetism radiated by them," which temporarily immobilized him, but he was able to break free and fled home in terror. There was simultaneously a spate of UFO sightings locally and in nearby San Lorenzo. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 913; David F.

It had a large tripod undercarriage and a ladder reaching down to the ground. These landing devices were retracted inside the object, and the object rose a few meters into the air, then flew off at high speed. Physical traces included the ground marks left behind by the tripod landing gear: imprints 7m x 6.8m x 5.45m apart, and marks left by the ladder. There was also a residual "gunpowder" smell, and the boys thought they heard a "tingling" sound during the encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 914, citing Nigel Rimes, FSR, November-December 1968, p. 21; Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, December 1970, p. 11; Fred I.

It was a hot and humid summer night in Norwich, Connecticut. Suddenly the TV reception began to snow, and then they heard crying coming from the child's room. The man then caught a glimpse of someone in the room and ran to see who it was. When he got to the bedroom window he saw the figure fly away to a point about 200 feet up and several hundred feet south of the apartment building. It was headed towards a UFO that was ruby red in color. In seconds the figure was like a silver dot that had merged with the object along with 3 or 4 other dots. The object then rose to about 1000 feet and went southwest at high speed. The creature was described as about four-foot tall with large eyes and fang-like teeth. Its arms were disproportionately long, like an ape's arms. It wore a silvery colored suit and its feet did not appear to touch the ground. It seemed to float across the room and went out the open window. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

They have short, white hair and red clothes. They also have semi-transparent legs because he can see through them to the grass behind. Near the men is an elliptical, silvery machine, 6.5 feet long, 2 feet high, with three legs 19 inches high. The men give him an envelope they telepathically say contains an important message, telling him to dip it in water before reading, then they fly off. Iriart dips the envelope in a puddle and finds that both the envelope and his hands are dry. The message is written in Spanish in a crude handwriting: “You are going to know the world. F. Saucer.” The witness’s horse and dog are paralyzed for several minutes. The boy arrives home terrified. The family goes to the landing site and finds three holes, each about 5 inches deep and forming an isosceles triangle, the base side measuring 6.5 feet and the other 2 sides 5.2 feet wide. At 11:15 p.m., five skeptical men \(including Police Sgt. Raúl Coronel\) from the Sierra Chica Social Club visit the landing site and declare the holes to be fake. However, they see a zigzagging light a few feet from the ground and heading their way. They drop to the ground, it passes over them, and then shoots away straight up. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, “[A](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201968%20V%2014%20N%205.pdf) [New South American ‘Wave,’](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201968%20V%2014%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 14, no. 5 \(Sept./Oct. 1968\): 26–27 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4579 ### Event 24005 (6539A55A) **Date:** 7/2/1968 **Location:** Wooler, Ontario **Description:** 10:00–10:30 p.m. Fred Coulthard Jr. and his brother Wayne are at a family get-together in the backyard of their father’s home in Wooler, Ontario, when they see an object with rotating red lights that agitates the family’s horses and cats.

They were five and a half feet tall, with thin white hair and wore red clothing. The witness noticed that their legs were semi transparent. They told him, in Spanish, "You are going to know the world. We will take you. But not now, as we have a big load." They directed his attention to an elliptical object six feet in diameter, standing on 20" tripod legs in a drainage ditch. Then one of them handed the boy an envelope, telling him to dip it into a nearby puddle. He did so, and found that neither the envelope nor his hand were wetted. In the envelope, written in a crude hand like a small child's, was the message, "You are going to know the world, F. Saucer." The two men then got into their machine through the top, and it took off vertically at great speed. Oscar found both his horse and dog paralyzed, and unable to move for some minutes. At the spot were found 3 holes 5" deep, arranged in an isosceles triangle. 5 local skeptics visited the site at 2315 that night and were amazed to observed a luminous object zigzag above them at low altitude. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The object was fluctuating in color between blue-green and yellow. They stopped and had a mid-night cookout, and toward the end of their stopover they witnessed a man approach, walking on the road to Villavicencio. He walked by making "giant strides," and came up and then passed by them without speaking. He was wearing "a sort of one piece Montgomery, fastened at the wrists & ankles." It was blue in color, with a hood over the head, and he seemed to be wearing spectacles. The area was far from any town and they had seen no one else, and no other car, on the road. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

These vanished, and from a door in a UFO emerged four short greenish entities not much over 20 inches tall, wearing something like headphones. They quickly approached and paralyzed him, and he was unable to run away. They next seized him and dragged him into their craft, the interior of which “looked like a laboratory”. There they questioned him, apparently using telepathy, at length about human customs. They didn't seem to have mouths. After that, they undressed him and conducted a detailed physical examination. They put a luminous wire device into his mouth that made his body appear transparent. During this procedure his limbs felt cold, his head felt like it was spinning, and his tongue felt like it had “turned to stone.” They finally released him, and he watched the craft fly off leaving a luminous trail. He felt no subsequent ill effects. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, FSR, September-October 1969, p. 32, citing Gazeta Noticia, July 21, 1968; David F.

Three 14-year-old girls at a summer camp at Kaarnajärv, near Otepää, Valga County, Estonia, see a swiftly moving star and a cigar-shaped object in the distance that quickly disappears. Somewhat disturbed, they decide to retire to bed. Through a window they see a bright object about 165 feet away. It is surrounded by reddish-orange and yellow beams of light. Soon it goes out, leaving only a dark greenish nebula with a blue-green ring around it that illuminates the surrounding woods. They watch it for about 5 minutes until it blinks out. One of the girls goes outside and sees a female figure, less than 5 feet tall and wearing a silver ribbon, standing where the object had been. It vanishes. The next morning, they find a circular burnt area about 6 feet in diameter and four wedge-shaped prints in the soil. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Juri Lina, “[UFO Landings in Estonia,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201978%20vol%2024%20no1.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 24, no. 1 \(June 1978\): 3–4 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4585 ### Event 24067 (FEDBF797) **Date:** 7/20/1968 **Description:** At 12:30 a.m. three 14-year-old girls at a summer camp on Lake Kaarna, Estonia were sitting outside eating when they saw a bright light descend overhead and join up with a cigar-shaped craft that had just appeared. The objects soon disappeared. Moments later, after the witnesses had gone inside their cabin, they saw a bright orange bus-shaped object on the ground about 50 meters away. It was surrounded by dazzling beams of orange yellow light, which suddenly dimmed and the object began emitting a green blue light. It had a blue green stripe around it and seemed to shrink in size, and after a few minutes the witnesses heard a buzzing sound and the object disappeared behind some bushes. One of the witnesses ran to where the object had been and saw a small human-like figure that had feminine features; the figure was standing where the object had been, and she seemed to be wearing a shiny silvery ribbon across her chest. The being suddenly rose up into the air and vanished. The next day strange ground markings were found at the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Juri Lina, FSR, June 1978, p. 3; Larry Hatch, U computer database, citing FSR **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4245 ### Event 24068 (892B0E03) **Date:** 7/20/1968 **Description:** A man on a hiking trip near Cluj-Napoca, Romania was scanning the field with his binoculars at eleven o'clock in the morning when he noticed four bizarre looking humanoids standing on a field. The humanoids were standing around apparently inspecting the area except for one that appeared to be lying prone on the ground. These human like figures appeared to be naked or topless as if sunning themselves in a beach. As he watched, five minutes later a large gray balloon shaped object appeared above some trees. It was flying in a west-east direction and appeared to be about 25 meters in diameter. At one point the object ejected a small sphere that descended in a vertical parabolic trajectory disappearing behind the trees. Soon 4 bell-parachute shaped objects appeared and descend over each of the humanoids covering them completely, each of the humanoids raised their arms as if waiting to be covered by the objects. The parachute like objects then disappeared along with the humanoids. The witness described the humanoids as about 1.40 meters in height, of a robust build with short muscular legs and over-developed calves. Their skin was dark reddish in color and their hair was dark and swarthy. Their heads and faces were peculiar since they had dog or canine-like characteristics. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Off-duty police constable Martyn Johnson is walking with his girlfriend in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, when they see two lights approaching them from above a nearby park. They are giving off many colored lights. As they hover above a nearby house, the couple’s poodle becomes agitated and runs off. The two lights then become four and arrange themselves in an oblong formation. All at once they vanish at terrific speed, following a railway to the northeast. A few hours later, Johnson is awakened and told to report to police headquarters, where there are two “government men” waiting to quiz him about the sighting. They desperately try to convince him that he has seen an aircraft or helicopter. They tell him he is sworn to secrecy for the next 25 years. When he asks what he has seen, they tell him, “What you have seen is an unidentified flying object or UFO. Some people call them spaceships, and if the people of the world knew how many genuine sightings there were like yours, there would be total panic.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** UFOFiles2, [pp. 82–83](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n135/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4586 ### Event 24077 (64AA9A95) **Date:** 7/22/1968 **Location:** Dr. Carlos Pereyra Neuropsychiatric Hospital at Ituzaingó 2837, Mendoza, Argentina **Description:** 1:20 a.m. Adela Casalvieri de Panassiti, 45, night nurse at the Dr. Carlos Pereyra Neuropsychiatric Hospital at Ituzaingó 2837, Mendoza, Argentina, hears a loud, penetrating, humming noise outside in the hospital courtyard. Going out to see what it is, she observes a mushroom-shaped landed object only 65 feet away. It is luminous and sitting in the middle of the courtyard. A bright red beam comes from the object and strikes her, and she finds that her legs are paralyzed. Putting her hands up to her face for protection, she discovers she is completely unable to move. She remains immobilized for a number of minutes until the red beam is extinguished. At this time, the object ascends vertically then flies off rapidly to the south, barely clearing the wall that surrounds the courtyard. Before it disappears, she is able to observe several human-looking figures through square portholes that encircle the craft. These beings move back and forth, passing each other, and are visible from the waist up only. A lead- gray stain, 31 x 12 inches, that smells of sulfur is found at the landing site. It persists for two days. Several small potted trees are burned. Casalvieri de Panassiti has first-degree burns on her face and hands \(an allergic reaction?\), and parts of her nurse’s cap and clothing are singed. In addition, her watch, which has stopped at 1:30 a.m., is found to be radioactive, as is her ring. The daughters of a garrison commander witness a luminous, egg- shaped object at the same time from the garrison casino. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Argentina: Hospital Landing at El Sauce,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201968%20V%2014%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 14, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1968\): 32; Roberto Banchs, “Mendoza: Agitacion por Apariciones de OVNIs \(22 Julio y 09 Ago 1968\),” Visión OVNI, November 11, 2008; Scott Corrales, “[1968: A Nurse Burned by an](http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2011/07/1968-nurse-burned-by-alleged-ufo-ce-2.html) [Alleged UFO \(CE-2\),](http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2011/07/1968-nurse-burned-by-alleged-ufo-ce-2.html)” Inexplicata, July 25, 2011 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4587 ### Event 24078 (41041546) **Date:** 7/22/1968 **Description:** At 1:20 a.m. in Mendoza, Argentina Ms. Adela Casalvieri, night nurse at the Neuropsychiatry Hospital, heard a loud penetrating humming noise outside in the hospital courtyard.

Suspecting it was a criminal intruder, he tried to strike him with a metal crowbar but the figure dodged the blows and was soon joined by two other accomplices. They quickly overpowered the guard.

The corporal fired a burst of submachine gun fire at them, upon which the beings lifted up their hands to show a small luminous ball, whereupon all the witnesses were overcome by a strange lassitude and were incapable of using their guns. Only after the beings re-entered the UFO and it had taken off with a zigzag motion did the soldiers recover their faculties. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

A farmer, his wife, and two children near Upton, Quebec, are awakened by the barking of their dog. When he gets up to investigate, he sees a sparkling, rotating “cloud” in the yard. It flies just over him and goes into a nearby field. About 12 feet in diameter, it is dark on the bottom but luminous on top. The cows in the field are being chased by 4 or 5 small entities, perhaps 3 feet tall with heads shaped like bottles. As the UFO flies above them, they disappear. The cattle seem ill for weeks afterwards. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** John Brent Musgrave, UFO Occupants and Critters, Global Communications, 1979; Clark III 280 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4590 ### Event 24118 (22AC91B3) **Date:** 7/28/1968 **Description:** 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. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Many witnesses parrot the NORAD party line that its radars only look in certain directions \(when indeed it looks for many types of potential attacks in all directions\). Harder states: “On the basis of the data and ordinary rules of evidence, as would be applied in civil or criminal courts, the physical reality of UFOs has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.” McDonald makes the biggest impression, presenting 30 pages of UFO reports. He states: “my own present opinion, based on two years of careful study, is that UFOs are probably extraterrestrial devices engaged in something that might very tentatively be termed ‘surveillance.’” Menzel concludes that UFOs merit no more scientific study than “the concept of ghosts, spirits, witches, fairies, elves, hobgoblins, or the devil.” The symposium has no lasting impact, as Congress does nothing about the problem. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** [Symposium on Unidentified Flying Objects](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.%24b654608&view=1up&seq=5&skin=2021)[,](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.%24b654608&view=1up&seq=5&skin=2021) Hearings, US House Committee on Science and Astronautics, 90th Cong., 2nd Sess., July 29, 1968; “[Congressional Hearings on UFO Problems: Scientists Urge](http://www.cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/043%20JUL-AUG%201968.pdf) [Unbiased National Investigations,](http://www.cufos.org/UFOI%5Fand%5FSelected%5FDocuments/UFOI/043%20JUL-AUG%201968.pdf)” UFO Investigator 4, no. 7 \(July/Aug. 1968\): 1–5; Clark III 811 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4591 ### Event 24128 (8A592930) **Date:** 7/29/1968 **Description:** Four people driving in La Atalaya, Argentina at 3:15 at night saw an object that looked like an upside down washbasin.

It is about 20 feet wide and moving slowly 10 feet above the ground, creating shadows on the freshly cut hay. The UFO shines a 20-foot wide gray-colored beam of light onto the ground. Their children moan and cry out in while they are sleeping and their dogs are whining loudly. They hear a high-pitched humming sound like a utility pole transformer. A few minutes later the object moves 25 feet to the east, the humming growing louder. At one point, a projection from the object descends to the ground. Around 4:30 a.m., the object goes brighter and slowly moves off toward the west. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E.

It is sitting about 15 feet from the ground on a flange of metal; a similar structure protrudes from its top. The cylinder has two blue ends and a transparent center through which he can see two humanoids less than 3 feet tall in metallic helmets and dressed in puffy suits like the Michelin Man \(the tire company mascot\). Seemingly sensing Fontaine looking at them, they turn their backs and the object disappears in a sudden flash of light and a burst of hot air. The incident is investigated by Capt. Maljean of the local Gendarmerie and Capt. Léopold Legros of the Civil Protection Service, who detect an abnormal amount of radioactivity at the site and on Fontaine’s clothing 10 days afterward, as well as six apparent landing marks in the ground. A country club called “La Soucoupe Volante” \(Flying Saucer\) is later built on the site. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Contact Casualty on Réunion,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201969%20V%2015%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 15, no. 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1969\): 8, 11; Jean-Claude Bourret, Le Nouveau Défi des O.V.N.I., France-Empire, 1976; Antonio Huneeus, “[The ‘Michelin Man’ Encounters on Réunion Island,](http://www.openminds.tv/michelin-men-073010/4561)” Open Minds, July 30, 2010; Patrick Gross, “[Plaine des Caffres, La Réunion, July 31, 1968](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/plainedescafres1968.htm)”; La Soucoupe Volante Country Club, [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/pages/La-Soucoupe-Volante/195155220534987) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4593 ### Event 24145 (BCE439C1) **Date:** 7/31/1968 **Description:** Mr. Luce Fontaine, age 31, a farmer on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, was picking some grass for his rabbits at around 9:00 a.m. when he saw an object 5 meters in diameter like two metallic saucers put face to face, standing on a "glass foot" like a goblet. It was only 25 meters away. On its top it bore another such "foot." It was dark blue but had a large central window, through which could be seen two small individuals, only 3 feet tall, dressed from head to foot in bulky coveralls, something like the Michelin "tire man." Both wore helmets that partially masked their faces. They turned their backs and there was a brilliant flash of light, and a sensation of heat with a blast of wind. A few seconds later nothing was to be seen. There was a local police investigation. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The first project name is HAVE FEAR. At least 500 UFO sensor trackings via radar-visual, laser range-finder, video camera, infrared, nightscope, and telescope are investigated through April 1969. The UFOs, often seen as red lights, usually travel at speeds of 30–80 mph at altitudes of 1,200–1,600 feet. After several days of tracking, the red blinking lights extinguish when under radar surveillance. They are only seen at night and only in certain places. In mid-August, Project LETHAL CHASER is added, using portable manpack radars. The findings involve 99% UFOs and only 1% IFOs, primarily because the system does not include human anecdotal accounts. Pacific Air Forces’ unit history clearly states the investigation is about UFOs, not enemy helicopters. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 1050–1054; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 328 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4594 ### Event 24158 (9789BCC9) **Date:** 8/1/1968 **Time:** 02:00 **Location:** FRIBOURG, SWZ **Description:** 1 observer.

It now resembles a white, glowing, cigar-shaped object, possibly as far away as the Adirondack Mountains more than 10 miles from the witnesses. According to the young man, three tiny white lights emerge one at a time from the right-end bottom of the UFO. As soon as the third is expelled, the object retreats along its original path and vanishes seconds later. The three smaller objects perform a series of spectacular maneuvers, all the while moving closer. After 5 minutes the objects assume a horizontal triangle formation, and two head off in opposite directions, one to the north, the other to the south, making a sound like “thousands of different tuning forks.” The remaining object \(40–50 feet across\) moves toward the witnesses. It ascends and vanishes in three seconds, only to reappear moments later as it descends along the same trajectory and plunges broadside into the water. A sudden wind blows waves across the heretofore placid surface. Animals up and down the shore howl and shriek. A few minutes later the UFO surfaces and moves toward the witnesses. It stops 60 feet from them, hovering about 15 feet above the water. The young man can see two figures with large heads, oversized oval eyes, and small mouths. Visible to the waist, they are short and clothed in skintight gray or silver uniforms. Thus begins an abduction experience that was only uncovered through separate hypnotic sessions with each of the witnesses by [Walter N. Webb](http://www.nicap.org/bios/NICAP-Bios/Webb.htm) years later. Webb’s background checks, buttressed by psychological analyses, convinces him that there is no question of a hoax. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Walter N.

Booth, “[The Buff Ledge Abduction,](https://www.ufocasebook.com/Buffledge.html)” UFO Casebook **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4597 ### Event 24181 (D5028211) **Date:** 8/7/1968 **Description:** On this date a very important and well investigated abduction case occurred on the shores of Lake Champlain near Milton, Vermont. In the late afternoon at a private camp called Buff Ledge two teenage camp counselors, a man and a woman, had stayed behind from a campwide swimming meet and were relaxing by the dock on their day off. They saw a large, glowing cigar-shaped object swoop low over the lake in the distance. Three small round objects left the large "mothership," which then departed. Two of the small objects also left, but the third, a domed disc-shaped craft, descended close to the witnesses. It had a transparent dome and a revolving rim. The craft approached the dock and hovered very close to the witnesses. Two beings could be seen inside the dome. They had large elongated heads, huge eyes, two nasal openings, and small mouths. The beings apparently communicated telepathically with the witnesses. They had no conscious recollection of what happened next, and the next thing they remembered it is getting dark and they heard the campers returning from their swim meet. They had lost track of at least an hour of time.

They never talked about the incident because the camp ended the next day and they went their separate ways. Years later the man contacted UFO investigator Walter Webb about his missing time experience. He remembered that the girl was planning to attend a college in the southeastern U.S. By knowing the name of the woman's college, Webb was able to track the second witness down by contacting her college's alumni department. He called her and asked her if she would like to come back to New England and talk about the incident. She agreed, and through hypnosis both witnesses independently recalled nearly identical accounts of their abduction experience.

They gave separate but nearly identical accounts of what happened to them. When the UFO moved over the dock they were bathed in light from the object, and both witnesses went into a trance state. They were taken onboard the craft, although they had no recollection of how they had gotten there. They were both given medical examinations on a table. They both gave independent accounts of recalling seeing nearly identical instrument panels and other instruments. There sketches of the aliens and the UFO craft were quite similar. When they awoke on the dock it was evening. An independent witness, a camper who had run down to the lake ahead of all the others, saw the lighted UFO as it departed the scene. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Walter N.

Going outside he was astonished to see a huge disc-shaped object on the ground in a nearby field. The object had a dome with a revolving red light on top. As he stared at the object in disbelief a door opened on the craft, then a ladder descended to the ground. Soon a very tall man, over two meters tall, emerged from the craft. The figure wore a shiny metallic, tight fitting uniform. At the same time the object was emitting a loud humming sound. The giant started to walk towards the witness, who stood paralyzed with fear. The figure then suddenly stopped, walked back to the object, and got back in. The craft then climbed vertically up into the sky at high speed and disappeared from sight. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Cintra readies herself to meet people needing medical assistance. She opens a glass door and asks the visitor if she is a patient. The visitor, just over 6 feet tall, answers in an unknown language. The visitor is wearing a blue satiny cape, matching shoes, and a dress with a high collar and long sleeves. She shows Cintra a vessel with engraved ornaments, and Cintra fills it with water from a fountain and offers her a doughnut. The visitor walks to the door of the sanitorium and through some flowerbeds. At this point Cintra notices a semicircular “pebble-like” light on the ground and a UFO floating 1–2 feet above the grass. She feels the force of an invisible rotating movement and notices that the visitor is no longer there. The UFO rises into the air, making soft sounds like those she heard when the visitor arrived. Later, she and the sanitorium manager and his wife find high-heeled footprints on the freshly waxed floor near the door. On the lawn they discover a spot of scorched grass that persists for 4 months. Subsequent investigation reveals a depression in the ground 5–7 inches deep, apparently made by a vehicle with a diameter of about 6.5 feet. From his bed, another patient has seen the UFO land some 260 feet from the fence of the sanitorium and remain there for 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[Mulher](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20066-68%20-%201969.pdf) [Extraterrestre Pede Água, em Lins, Est. de São Saulo,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20066-68%20-%201969.pdf)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 66/68 \(Jan./June 1969\): 72–74; Nigel Rimes, “[Another Hospital Visited,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201969%20V%2015%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 15, no. 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1969\): 4–6; Gordon Creighton, “[Confrontation at Lins,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201969%20V%2015%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 15, no. 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1969\): 22–23; Clark III 684–685; “[O](https://www.fenomenum.com.br/ufo/casuistica/1960/lins) [Fantástico Caso Lins,](https://www.fenomenum.com.br/ufo/casuistica/1960/lins)” Portal Fenomenum, June 15, 2016; “[O Fantástico Caso Lins,](https://www.oarquivo.com.br/variedades/e-books/download/7-esoterismo/1149-ao%5Fe%5Freao.html)” Oarquiva; Brazil 99–104 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4605 ### Event 24250 (F6CFAE76) **Date:** 8/25/1968 **Description:** In Aldaya, Valencia, Spain Juan Gazcon del Toro, age 44, was riding his bicycle home from work at 8:00 p.m., and was crossing a cultivated field when, as he turned a bend, saw a silvery gray object on the ground resting on four legs. Next to the object stood two short beings; the witness bicycled closer to the object, stopped 40 meters away from it, and then looked at it more closely. The craft had a small dome with an antennae on top, and an open door from which a silvery ladder extended to the ground. Both beings wore helmets with visors from which a rubber hose like protrusion was apparently connected to their chest area. They also wore wide belts and small boots, and their outfits were white in color. The beings stood by the object ignoring the witness, so he pedalled his bicycle away from the site and did not watch the object depart. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos & Fernandez Peri, Enciclopedia De los Encuentros Cercanos con Ovnis, p. 83; Albert S.

Mrs. Cintra filled these for her from the drinking fountain. While she did so, the woman placed her hand on the witness shoulder and repeated several times the word “Rempaua.” Then the woman went out and entered a luminous, pear-shaped UFO craft, shaped with a flat bottom that was hovering 3 feet above the hospital’s lawn. Another person also saw the craft. It took off and climbed slowly in a spiral, with a repetition of the flapping sound. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, July-August 1968, p. 6; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole Story, p. 291; David F.

It then made a strange, abrupt maneuver, and then shone its light at him, hitting him in the face and blinding him and also making his hair stand on end. The object descended in a spinning motion, stabilized, and displayed four large windows on top with four smaller ones underneath. As he watched, he saw four “small dark objects” ejected from its central part, which landed on the ground. After about a minute these arose and re-entered the hovering UFO, which then ascended and disappeared in seconds. The entire incident lasted about seven minutes. Others independently reported seeing the object depart. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case 66; David F.

He was a dwarfish humanoid about 4 feet tall, with a shaven or bald head, naked chest, heavy black beard, and with red and bumpy skin, “like that of a lizard.” This being would disappear into thin air unexpectedly. A roaring noise was also heard coming from an excavation at the foot of the boulder, and a kind of “flying saucer” was seen, about 30 feet wide and colored blue, white and red. It left a long trail of smoke, and each time it “looked as if it were trying to land behind the boulder.” The children were Denis Bogus, age 7, who first saw the object; his brothers Michael and Andre, and their uncle, George Bogus; other adults who subsequently observed the phenomena were Normand Daigle and Luc Cadorette. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It turned a red color and became much brighter. Sorenson's truck engine suddenly failed as he continued to drive towards the light. He got out and watched the light travel overhead and disappear behind him. It was changing colors from red to green to white and back to red. After the light was gone, the truck could be restarted. Sorenson noticed another car had also been stopped on the road. When he got home, the trip had taken almost two hours longer to complete than expected, and he had to account for two hours of missing time with a possible UFO abduction experience. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 42; Frank B.

On the Calle Neuquén, their car stops and the lights go out. They find themselves unable to move and several humanoid beings standing near an enormous landed UFO. They receive telepathic messages from the aliens who make marks on the windshield and one side of their car and see a screen full of dystopian images. The beings prick their fingers and take blood samples before gong back to the UFO. However, the two later admit to making up the story. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Charles Bowen, “[One Day in Mendoza,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201968%20V%2014%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 14, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1968\): 2–5; Clark III 601 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4607 ### Event 24295 (C584665D) **Date:** 9/1/1968 **Description:** In Mendoza, Argentina two casino workers, Juan Carlos Peccinetti and Fernando Jose Villegas, were driving home after work at 3:30 a.m. when the engine of their car quit and the lights went out. Peccinetti had just started getting out of the car when both men found themselves paralyzed. They were soon face to face with three strange, five-foot tall beings with unusually large bald heads, wearing coveralls. Behind them was a circular or oval UFO 12 feet across and five feet high that was hovering four feet above the ground and directing a bright beam of light downward. When the entities came closer the witnesses heard a foreign-sounding voice repeat, "Do not fear." Then they were told, "we have just made three journeys around the sun, studying customs and languages of the inhabitants of the system...mathematics is the universal language." Meanwhile, another one of the entities, using a tool that looked like a soldering iron, was making inscriptions on the doors, windshield, and running boards of their car. The witnesses next saw a circular TV-like screen, on which there appeared first a waterfall, then a mushroom cloud, and then the waterfall again, this time with no water. Finally the beings took hold of the witnesses' left hands and pricked their fingers three times, taking blood samples, after which they ascended to their machine along the light beam. There was an "explosive effect" and the object rose and disappeared. The men ran to a nearby military college to report their experience. They later retracted their story, but there are indications that they were coerced into doing so. In fact, authorities in Mendoza quickly made the "spreading of UFO rumors" a criminal offense to discourage widespread rumors on this and other cases that occurred about the same time. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

John Dow and Paul Franklin are on the Omarunui Road southwest of Taradale, New Zealand. They see a circular object with a red and green light that is only a few feet in diameter and glowing white. Heading toward the source, they watch as the UFO disappears behind a cloud. After crossing a bridge, they see the object again, hovering on the opposite side of the river. The object glows intensely and speeds toward the automobile from the rear. Panicking, they try to jump out of the car, which is traveling at 35 mph, but get tangled up and the car veers out of control. Both of them fall out the left door as the bright UFO hovers 2 feet above the car roof. The car crashes into the store of a fruit dealer on Gloucester Street. A crowd gathers around the two young men, still dazed and shocked. Nearly 24 hours later the witnesses are treated for “bruises and abrasions” at the Napier Hospital outpatient clinic because “their clothes were sticking to them.” Dow is charged with reckless driving, but the circumstances convince the court to drop the charge and the insurance company pays for the damages. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E.

He comes across a strange object in the pottery yard about 16 feet away. It is a cone-shaped device about 13 feet high sitting on a tripod under which a bluish light illuminates the ground, and it has a rectangular opening through which comes a treadmill. On the treadmill are two squared cylinders standing on end, both motionless. Schneider feels paralyzed and begins to converse telepathically with the nearest cylinder, which answers his questions clearly and briefly about where they come from, which is another star system, and they are investigating global warming on earth. Soon the treadmill goes back up into the object, the entrance closes, and it takes off with a hissing sound. The next day, Schneider finds a burned circle of grass just over 2 feet in diameter at the landing site. Inside this is a smaller circle of compressed grass and three holes where the tripod stood. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Carlos Varassin, “[O Estranho Caso da Vila](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20094-98%20-%201973-1974.pdf) [Baumer,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20094-98%20-%201973-1974.pdf)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 94/98 \(September 1973/June 1974\): 41–44; “[Contato Imediato em Joinville,](https://www.fenomenum.com.br/ufo/casuistica/1970/joinville)” Portal Fenomenum, June 15, 2016; Brazil 141–145 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4623 ### Event 24390 (D452E055) **Date:** 9/27/1968 **Time:** 03:30 **Location:** NORTHEAST / CORABIA, ROM **Description:** 2 observer(s).

In late 1967, McDonald had secured a modest grant from the Office of Naval Research in order to study cloud formations in Australia. While there, McDonald conducts some UFO research on his own time. Klass mounts an extended, concerted campaign against McDonald, arguing that he has squandered government funds. The ONR responds by announcing that they had known of McDonald’s UFO interests and have no objections to his personal hobbies. The University of Arizona comes to McDonald’s defense, announcing that his UFO research was done on his own time, and has no adverse impact on his regular teaching and research duties at the university. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Clark III 700 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4625 ### Event 24400 (DB1DF397) **Date:** 9/30/1968 **Description:** At around three a.m. Guy Lemargue, age 16, was walking with a friend on a small country road in Roncenay, Aude, France when they both saw, about 150 yards away, a disc-shaped red-orange luminous UFO, about 50 feet in diameter and feet in height, resting on legs. It had a row of portholes all around the edge. Beside it, several luminous entities of small stature were “maneuvering” with very strong lights sources in their hands, which they shone on the ground. They walked or floated two feet above the ground, and sometimes made sudden gliding leaps of a hundred yards.

It is about 16 feet long and 10 feet wide. There is a platform around it and on the top a transparent dome is open. Inside there are four stools and an instrument panel. Pereira sees four beings around it wearing blue tunics and red skirts. One is on the platform with a weapon in its hand, another is picking up earth samples, the third is looking at his tractor’s engine, and the fourth is inside the object at the instrument panel. The being with the weapon fires it and a luminous ball hits Pereira in the stomach, paralyzing him. The entities go inside, and a transparent dome encloses them. The object ascends and shoots off at high speed. With difficulty, Pereira climbs off the tractor and stumbles to the road where a friend takes him home. Later he is given a medical examination by Antônio Geris and summoned to a Brazilian Air Force facility where he is questioned and held for three days. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, “[Confrontation at Lins,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201969%20V%2015%20N%201.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 15, no. 1 \(Jan./Feb. 1969\): 22–23; Patrick Gross, [URECAT](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1968-10-02-brazil-lins.htm)[,](https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/ce3/1968-10-02-brazil-lins.htm) December 22, 2006; Brazil 105–107 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4628 ### Event 24411 (FC070C21) **Date:** 10/2/1968 **Description:** In Lins, Sao Paolo State, Brazil at 6:20 a.m., while oiling his bulldozer’s engine, Sr. Doribio Pereira saw a golden colored cigar-shaped craft hovering a foot or so above the ground, only a few feet away, Next he saw a man standing on a platform that extended from the base of the object, who drew a weapon resembling an electric drill from his sleeve. The being pointed it at the witness, and when it emitted a bright flash Pereira found himself paralyzed. He could see that inside the cigar, which had a “glass roof,” there was a man using some sort of keyboard with both hands, and outside the craft on an extended platform stood three more men. One of them was taking soil samples with a “conch shaped object.” Then the craft flashed a very vivid light three times, the platform retracted, and underneath the craft appeared “something like an electric polisher, rotating at high speed.” After that it took off with a slight sound. The men were described as thin, about 5’5” tall, and dressed in blue knee-length robes, hoods, and brown sandals with cross garters to the knees. Pereira, in a state of near shock, was given a lift to his home, and from there he reported to the Town Council. Because of his nervous state he was sent for a medical examination, during which Dr. Antonio Geris found him entirely normal. Officials of the Brazilian Air Force later subjected him to an intense interrogation. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, FSR, January-February 1969, p. 22; David F.

The two men then stopped the car and got out to investigate a distant light source on the ground. When they walked up to it the light on the ground proved to be four lights, one of which took off into the air. Nearby they could dimly see two four-foot-tall beings with large heads and abnormally long arms, and heard a sound like digging. The hitchhiker then suggested they go back to the car for a gun, and the figures vanished. Other maneuvering lights were then observed. Then something sounding like a train passed by at a distance: it had a string of lighted windows in which silhouettes of passengers sitting up inside were visible. After this, a dark lens-shaped object having a flat dome on top and a row of pulsating multi-colored lights around the edge approached them quite closely. As the dawn approached and it became possible to see better, the remaining lights on the ground could be seen to be connected to a palely lit cigar-shaped object. Watts believes he may have experienced a memory lapse at this point. Cloven footprints were found at the site where the beings had been seen. The hitchhiker could not be identified and was therefore unavailable for an interview by the investigators. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Michael Schutz & Loren Reichert, Skylook, August 1975, p. 10; David F.

The UFO at first appears bright blue then changes first to a whitish-blue then to red. When it reaches a point just south of Sarajevo and northeast of the city of Mostar, the object turns to the east. It remains in view from 90 minutes to two hours. Members of the Akademski Astronomsko-Astronautiki Klub take photos of the object and, six months later, issue a report on their investigation of the incident. It estimates that the UFO was flying at an altitude of 16 miles and a speed of 20 mph, probably guided by air currents and not self-propelled, and most likely was a military reconnaissance balloon. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Hobana and Weverbergh 84–90 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4631 ### Event 24445 (3B5F791C) **Date:** 10/19/1968 **Time:** ~03:00 **Location:** NEAR SETCASES, SP **Description:** Several mountain climbers.

Ground radar tracks an unidentified target correlated with a visual orange glow and radios it \(saying, “Someone is seeing flying saucers again”\) to the attention of the USAF crew of a B-52H Stratofortress bomber at 2,000 feet as a UFO target 24 miles to the northwest. It shifts to 15 miles at 3:35 a.m. RAPCON alerts the pilots \(instructor pilot Maj. [Bradford Runyon](https://sohp.us/interviews/bios/runyon-bradford.php) and copilot Maj. [James Partin](https://sohp.us/interviews/bios/partin-james.php)\) to the location of the UFO near Bowbells, North Dakota, which the B-52 navigator Capt. [Patrick D. McCaslin](https://sohp.us/interviews/bios/mccaslin-patrick.php) observes on the radarscope maintaining a three-mile distance throughout a standard 180° turnaround. Radar navigator Maj. Charles Richey captures the tracking on film. As the B-52 starts its descent back to Minot AFB, the UFO appears to close distance to one mile at a high rate of speed, pacing the aircraft for nearly 20 miles before disappearing off the radarscope. Both B-52 UHF radios cannot transmit during the close radar encounter with the UFO and when the radarscope film is recorded. Shortly afterwards, RAPCON provides vectors for the B-52 to overfly a stationary UFO on or near the ground. After turning onto the downwind leg of the traffic pattern, the pilots observe a large, illuminated UFO ahead of the aircraft for several minutes, before turning onto the base leg over the UFO while observing it at close range. After the B-52 lands, both outer and inner-zone intrusion alarms are activated at the remote missile Launch Facility Oscar-7. The duration of the reported observations is over three hours.

[Arthur J. Werlich](https://minotb52ufo.com/bio/werlich.html?height=550&width=950), is designated as Blue Book liaison and he calls the report in at 4:30 p.m. after SAC investigations, an analysis of the radarscope film, and the B-52 crew debriefing. Werlich provides Blue Book with selected data through October 31. On November 13, Blue Book chief Lt. Col. [Hector Quintanilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector%5FQuintanilla) completes his evaluation and forwards the final report to SAC headquarters. It is a single-page letter providing several possible explanations for the various reports, along with 11 pages of attachments cobbled together in support. He attributes the B-52 radar contact and loss of UHF transmission to “a plasma similar to ball lightning.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Minot Tracks Object, B-52 Sees and Tracks](http://www.nicap.org/681024minot%5Fdir.htm) [UFO](http://www.nicap.org/681024minot%5Fdir.htm)”; [Sparks](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf)[,](https://www.nicap.org/bb/BB%5FUnknowns.pdf) p. 330; Clark III 748–763; Thomas Tulien, “[A Narrative of Events at Minot Air Force Base,](https://minotb52ufo.com/)” Sign Oral History Project; Hynek UFO Report, [pp. 137–139](https://archive.org/details/hynekuforeport00alle/page/136/mode/2up); Martin Shough, “[Minot Air Force Base, Oct 24 1968,](http://www.martinshough.com/aerialphenomena/minot.htm)” 2006; Nukes 319–323; Thomas E.

The first two sections, conclusions and recommendations, are written by [Condon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FCondon) himself. He concludes that “further extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be justified in the expectation that science will be advanced thereby.” It is a clear signal to shut down Project Blue Book. Yet 30% of its cases are unexplained. Condon says a UFO cover-up is unthinkable because no one could keep such a secret for so long. He refutes the claim that the CIA has installed an agent within the project. He disapproves of UFO “amateurists,” especially NICAP. The project ignored old cases because they only offered witness testimony, are probably misidentifications, and it makes little sense to reinterview witnesses. But this means ignoring the most compelling cases of the past 20+ years. Condon rejects the ETH because it is so unlikely that aliens can get here from there. This attitude suggests that Condon’s approach is fundamentally antiempirical. The report also includes summaries of field studies, photographic evidence, direct and indirect physical evidence, optical and radar cases, and astronaut sightings. In the field studies section, [Roy Craig](https://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/taro/tamucush/00151/tamu-00151.html) concedes that some of the older cases suggest something extraordinary \(Great Falls, RB-47\). [William K. Hartmann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FKenneth%5FHartmann) divides photo cases into fabrications, misidentifications, poor image quality, and clear images that lack sufficient data. Great Falls and McMinnville are the only two that he considers unusual. [Gordon Thayer](https://rr0.org/people/t/ThayerGordonD/) discusses the predominance of anomalous propagation in radar cases. In finding natural explanations, Thayer often disregards witness testimony. The rest of the report is mostly padding. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Condon Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condon%5FCommittee\#Committee%5FReport)”; Michael D.

He approached with a flashlight and encountered a white object, the size of a VW Beetle, on small wheels. It had six big exhaust tubes in the rear and a transparent canopy. There were two "ordinary Caucasian" looking pilots in the craft wearing white coveralls or flightsuits, with earphones on their heads.. The craft took off vertically without making as much noise. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Colonel Aderito De Leon, APRO Bulletin, September-October 1969, p. 4; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 206, David F.

As he coasted down toward the object on his bicycle he saw two men; one was outside the object "looking around" and was "very tall" and looked to be a normal Caucasian, the other man was inside the object. Both wore white coveralls and what appeared to be earphones. He stopped 20 yards past the object, looked back, and saw that the man outside the object was watching him. He couldn't decide whether he should go back to speak to him, but while he was thinking this the man got into his vehicle. With a roar, the craft moved up the hill and then ascended silently into the sky. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Colonel Aderito De Leon, APRO Bulletin, September-October 1969, p. 4; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 207, David F.

The car engine and radio stopped running and all watches stopped. After the UFO took off and car and watches operated normally again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Antonio Ribera, FSR, January 1969, p. 34; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 43; Richard H.

His son was standing in his crib pointing at the window. Behind the shutter a very bright light could be seen moving. After the child had gone back to sleep, the doctor went out onto the balcony of his house, located on a hillside, and he saw two glowing discs in the sky, silvery white on top and bright red underneath. Each had a tall antenna on top and one on either side, and they were directing a narrow beam of white light towards the ground below.

The two objects slowly drew closer and merged into a single object, about 200 feet in diameter and 50 feet thick. The single object then approached the doctor, and tilted 90 degrees so that the beam of light struck him. He then heard a loud bang, and the object evaporated into a whitish cloud that dissipated with the wind. A thin thread of light rose high into the sky before vanishing as a white dot, and exploding like a firework.

A few days earlier the doctor had accidentally cut a vein in his leg while chopping wood, and a decade earlier he had stepped on a landmine in Algeria, leaving his right side partially paralyzed. After this close encounter incident he found that the swelling and pain from his leg injury had vanished, and the chronic after effects of the injuries he had sustained in the Algerian war improved dramatically in the days that followed.

Also a few days after the encounter, the doctor and his son each developed a strange, reddish, triangular mark on the abdomen, and this mark recurred in successive years. Strange paranormal phenomena began to take place around the doctor and his family, including poltergeist activity and unexplained disturbances in electrical circuits. The doctor began to have mysterious meetings with a strange, nameless man he called "Mr. Bied." He would hear a whistling noise inside his head and would feel guided to walk or drive to a certain location where he would meet the man, who would discuss his UFO experience and paranormal matters. Mr. Bied caused him to experience apparent teleportation and time travel, including a distressing episode with alternative landscapes on a road that he knows does not exist. The stranger also once visited the doctor at his home accompanied by a three foot tall humanoid with mummified skin, which remained motionless while its eyes darted quickly around the room. The doctor experienced uncontrolled levitation on at least one occasion. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** John Wallace Spencer, World Atlas of UFOs, p. 207 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_7382 ### Event 24494 (FB652C94) **Date:** 11/2/1968 **Time:** 04:00 **Location:** SISTERON, FR **Description:** Dr. X and son. 2 saucers.

He is lying in bed when he is awakened by his crying 14-month-old son. He sees two luminous objects outside his house. They are coming close together and merging about 590 feet away. A vertical beam of light is aimed at him for a second as the object tilts, and then the display vanishes with a sort of explosion, leaving behind a slowly dissolving cloud. Shortly afterwards, the man’s leg heals and his war wound is better. He also experiences nightmares, stomach pains, and a red pigmentation appears around his navel, forming a triangle. He goes to a dermatologist but does not mention the UFO; the doctor is stumped. The man’s son also develops a red triangle. In November 1984, a French radio reporter records the gradual reappearance of the triangle on X’s abdomen. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Aimé Michel, “[The](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-SI%201969%20N%203%2CUFO%20Percipients.pdf) [Strange Case of Dr. X,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-SI%201969%20N%203%2CUFO%20Percipients.pdf)” in Charles Bowen, ed., UFO Percipients, special issue no. 3 of FSR, September 1969, pp. 3–16; Aimé Michel, “[The Strange Case of Dr. ‘X,’ Part 2,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201971%20V%2017%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 17, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1971\): 3– 9; Clark III 410–413 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4636 ### Event 24499 (6140BE32) **Date:** 11/2/1968 **Description:** During a thunderstorm, a medical doctor in southern France was awakened at 3:55 a.m. by his crying 14-month-old son.

The bump was followed by the sound of something moving near their bedroom window. When they looked out the window, they saw a huge face staring down at them. The creature’s two front paws or hands were resting on the windowsill. The husband lept out of bed and frantically searched for his gun, but by the time he located it the creature was gone from the window. Running on two legs, it dashed around the east side of the house, weaving from side to side, and crossed two streets before disappearing into the woods. The creature stood about six-feet tall. Its front side was grayish brown, and the rest of the body was a darker shade of the same color. According to the couple, it resembled “a large bipedal lion of around 600 pounds.” **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It came suddenly to a stop in front of the girls. Afrodit saw it first as she was on her bicycle, and noticed the red light suddenly appear from behind the mountain, resembling a brilliant star. The red light seemed “gelatinous” in nature and soon changed to a sphere with a greenish tint. Both girls could now clearly see what appeared to be a small “woman” inside the luminous sphere. The strange entity had a large mouth, which seemed to be moving constantly, apparently calling the girls; it also had a pair of large pointed ears. Moments later, the small woman exited the sphere and approached Afrodit, who tried to run but was unable to move due to a strong “pulling” force. It pulled her by her blouse and suspended her in midair. When Eugenia reached the kitchen door the force seemed to release Afrodit, who suffered from earaches, hoarseness, and what appeared to have been scratches on her waist area. It was later determined that a third girl, 12-year-old Monica Patricia Lagos also saw the bizarre incident, which she described as a ball of fire that floated around over the ground and then disappeared in a flash. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

However, their car nearly ran down three tall figures standing in the road who were dressed in pale-blue spacesuits. (Sources: Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, April 1971, p. 13; David F.

Suddenly they see a brilliant object. They stop the car and watch as it rises from a field on their left, silently pass over the car, and move toward a solitary house about 300 feet away on the right where it stops and hovers, “quivering like jelly.” The air temperature seems to drop. For approximately 5 minutes, they see what appear to be several humanoid figures walking across the bright top of the UFO, which is as wide as the house. Intermittently, some of the figures bend down as though looking at something in the part of the object below the rim. Then the UFO begins moving up in a pulsating or jerky movement. The intensity of its light increases and Milakovic feels like his eyes are burning. Thoroughly frightened, Milakovic pushes his wife and son back into the car and speeds away from the scene. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** W.

At 9:30 p.m. she saw at the bus station there, about 40 yards away, a domed metallic UFO the size of a small car, which was hovering only a few feet above the ground. Around the rim of the craft were a row of changing lights that gave the impression of it rotating, and beneath it a patch of violet light was cast onto the ground. A door in the object was open, with three steps below it, and standing in front of the UFO were three six-foot tall figures of human appearance, wearing skin-tight, shiny black coveralls and shiny black boots. The suits were one-piece, with hoods covering the heads, so that only the face was left exposed. One of the men was carrying a cylinder 2 feet long and 3 inches thick, with a thinner tube of aluminum like material coiled around it in a spiral. Facing the beings was a crowd of about 20 people, including three police officers, who had their guns drawn, and two police cars were parked nearby. After a short while a beam of silver light shot forth from the cylinder and the people closest to the beings were paralyzed, while the others felt dazed as if in a faint. The UFOnauts calmly walked back to their craft, which they then boarded, and the craft took off and rapidly climbed out of sight. The duration of the entire incident was about 15 minutes. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Nigel Rimes, FSR, March 1969, p. 6; David F.

The radio gets a lot of static and the English setter begins to get nervous, clawing at the window and putting its head over its eyes and ears. The boy starts crying, then the car engine begins to sputter. The object executes a U-turn and moves to the northwest as the lights change to blinking blue and white. Suddenly, the UFO stops and changes to a white, dome-shaped object with a “fluorescent star” next to it. The larger object merges into the star and disappears. Pelchy drops her son off at her mother-in-law’s, then returns on the same route. The dog starts to whine again as a light the size of a basketball fluctuates in intensity and zigzags across the sky. She goes home but returns to the scene with a neighbor and the light is still visible and maneuvering. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E.

He also saw an amber-colored flashing light reflecting off the trees outside, so he walked outdoors and saw a disc-shaped UFO directly overhead, not more than ten feet up. The craft was silvery metallic looking, saucer shaped with a smaller dome on top, 35 feet in diameter, about 10 feet high, and it had four sets of lights which bathed the surrounding area in amber light. The witness was terrified and unable to move. After hovering overhead, the craft backed away some 20 feet and descended to where it was almost at eye level with the witness, who was standing on a deck on stilts above the lake, 8 feet off the ground. The dome had a round porthole, but he could not see if there was anyone or anything inside. Nevertheless, he "knew" that someone was there and was looking at him. The craft next rose up, coming directly forward and hovering overhead again. The experience lasted an estimated five minutes, although there were gaps in his memory as to what exactly happened next. The craft finally sped off effortlessly about 200 yards, and hovered momentarily over the lake. It then sped off at a 45 degree angle into the sky towards the southwest at a tremendous speed, quickly vanishing from sight. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Tarda is taking photos of the lake shore near Puerto Blest, but does not notice anything unusual. When one slide is developed, it shows a blurry white object against a mountainous background. An analysis by the Argentine UFO group Circulo de Investigación Cientifico Espacial states that the image is not caused by a lens flare, damaged emulsion, or a known object. Another analysis suggests that the object moved while the shutter was depressed. Ground Saucer Watch considers it a lens flare. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UFO Appears in Photo over Nahuel Huapi Lake, Argentina,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1982-83%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV3.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 3, no. 1 \(February 1982\): 1–2; “[Dr. Tarda 1968 Photograph Judged Lens Flare by GSW,](http://cufos.org/CUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter/1982-83%5FCUFOS%5FAssociate%5FNewsletter%5FV3.pdf)” CUFOS Associate Newsletter 3, no. 2 \(April 1982\): 3 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4647 ### Event 24663 (55A1C71C) **Date:** 12/26/1968 **Time:** 00:30 **Location:** ST.

He says science cannot adequately deal with such matters, although he does not specifically disavow the scientific method. It is the first book to question the ETH and the first to lay the groundwork for the psychosocial hypothesis, which sees UFOs as largely the product of unusual mental states and perpetuated by social acceptance. He argues that ostensible otherworldly manifestations are fantastic images propelled via psychic technology from humanity’s future to generate myths and religions that will change fate. In time the book leads to a new school of ufology whose advocates hold that UFOs and other anomalous experiences are internally generated and shaped entirely by cultural processes as opposed to nonhuman intelligences. [Jerry Clark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome%5FClark) writes that the “genius of Passport, a genuinely brilliant work, is its success in placing UFOs into not only cultural but experiential context.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jacques Vallée, [Passport to Magonia](https://archive.org/details/passporttomagoni0000vall/page/n1/mode/2up), Regnery, 1969; Clark III 939–940, 1214 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4650 ### Event 24675 (D66133DC) **Date:** 1969 **Description:** Contactee [Ted Owens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted%5FOwens%5F%28contactee%29) writes How to Contact Space People.

Carter describes the object as being bright white and about as bright as the moon. It appears to have closed in on where he is standing but stops beyond a stand of pine trees some distance from him. The object changes color, first to blue, then to red, then back to white, before appearing to recede into the distance. Carter feels that the object is self-illuminated and not solid in nature. Carter’s report indicates that it is witnessed by about 10–12 other people and is in view for 10–12 minutes before it passes out of sight. Skeptic [Robert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FSheaffer) [Sheaffer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FSheaffer) concludes that the object is a misidentification of Venus. Ufologist [Allan Hendry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan%5FHendry) does calculations and agrees with the assessment of the object as Venus. A member of the Carter family thinks it might have been a barium cloud produced by rockets launched from Eglin AFB near Valparaiso, Florida. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Jimmy Carter](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20%28Magor%29/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20-%20vol%201%20no%201%20-%201969.pdf) [UFO incident](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Canada/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20%28Magor%29/Canadian%20UFO%20Report%20-%20vol%201%20no%201%20-%201969.pdf)”; Clark III 225; Good Above, [pp. 368](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/368/mode/2up)[,](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/368/mode/2up) [516–517](https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055/page/516/mode/2up); Robert Sheaffer, “[President Jimmy Carter’s](https://www.debunker.com/texts/carter%5Fufo.html) [Sighting of a UFO](https://www.debunker.com/texts/carter%5Fufo.html)” **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4655 ### Event 24693 (DB1824AC) **Date:** 1/6/1969 **Description:** Maren Merino was working in the kitchen of her family's small café in Pontejos, Santander, Spain at 9:15 p.m. when she looked out the kitchen window and saw an intensely bright light. Her daughter, 25-year old Felicidad Fernandez Merino then entered the kitchen and also observed the light. Felicidad asks her mother about it, but she continued to ignore the light. Thinking this was abnormal, Felicidad yelled to two other women, including a woman called Paquita. All three women then opened the window and saw an incredible scene: on a field only 30 meters away, and hovering about three meters from the ground, was a luminous square 4-5 meters wide. It was an intense orange-white color. Inside the luminous square they saw the silhouette of a man walking about. From the right another figure appeared and both walked toward the left side of the illuminated square. Next, from the opposite end of the square three more figures appear, making a total of five figures. By now the witnesses are totally fascinated and shout out to the beings. At this time they are joined by another witness, 35-year-old Antonio. When Antonio looked out the window the craft vanished from sight.

According to the witnesses the movements of the humanoids was mechanical in nature, with arms straight down their sides with no apparent joint movement. The beings were tall and well built, with normal features, chestnut-color hair, and light skin. They wore something similar to black, tight-fitting coveralls with sleeves and turtlenecks. The incident lasted for five minutes. As the witnesses continued to look for the UFO a small shiny sphere descended from the middle of the sky, falling to the ground in a curved trajectory. The body of the UFO again became visible, clearly displaying the shiny square section and the portion of the object hat had been invisible to the witnesses thus far. It was a dull silver color, lightly fluorescent, and shaped like a domed cupola. The object then rose slowly and disappeared quickly, leaving behind a brilliant greenish track that persisted for about 15 minutes after the object left. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case 100; Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, OVNIs: El Fenomeno Aterrizaje, p. 86; UNICAT database, case 435; David F.

They also heard a loud buzzing noise like a swarm of wasps. It came from a UFO shaped like a sombrero, about 25-30 yards in diameter, which gave off a brilliant violet luminosity. From the craft three beings descended. They were huge, "about 3 times as large as humans," and had "blocky arms and legs and shapeless bodies." They emitted a purple and yellow glow. For about ten minutes they gathered sugar cane and other plant specimens, without concern for the observers. Mrs. Olga Vas said that the beings descended from the larger craft in a small object similar in shape. At one point one of the entities came close enough to the group for Mr. Vas to call out in alarm. The "spaceman" showed no concern and moved away only after picking up several rocks. The giant creatures re-entered their craft and the UFO took off vertically. When it took off the hair on the witnesses' bodies stood on end, as if affected by a form of static electricity. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bill Chalker case files, case # 2014; Bill Chalker & Keith Basterfield, Australian Catalogue of Close Encounter Type Three Reports, p. 22; David F.

The sensation was a signal for an upcoming contact, so Mr. Pallmann took his motorboat to a local sandy beach on Isla del Altar, El Salvador. There he noticed that several huge concentric circles ruffled the normally placid waters of the lake. Shortly after that he encountered a human looking being named Satu Ra, who he had met on previous occasions. Satu Ra was sitting motionless on a nearby rock. He wore dark green coveralls and had on a broad instrument belt on which was a large device. Ra was inexpressively sad. He told Pallmann that another extraterrestrial that they both knew, named Xiti, had been killed. Supposedly a disaster had befallen the expedition on another planet. Shortly after this close encounter locals reported observing a silvery disc-shaped UFO hovering over the capital city San Salvador. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

A dog that had been watching the light with him had its hair raised and was growling softly. Alarmed, the witness left the scene. When he returned a few days later with a friend they found three apparent landing marks at the site, six feet apart. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Gusmao’s Alexania Fazenda, Goias State, Brazil where UFO sightings had been occurring frequently for more than a year. It performed some maneuvers before landing 100 meters away. Senor Gusmao left the group of investigators and walked up to within a meter of the vessel, which he found to be only two meters long and a meter wide, hovering 18 inches above the ground. A door in the top of the craft opened, and a crew member stood up in the hatch. He looked at Gusmao while manipulating something on his belt, which Gusmao thought was a camera. Then he turned around, and as if obeying an order a big light arose from the nearby ridge. The occupant then turned to face Gusmao, and he put his hand on his belt again, causing a luminous halo to surround his body. After this, the onlookers could see him only as a ball of light. Then, with a slight gesture, he slipped down again into the craft, which took off rapidly. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Moacyr Alfredo Uchoa, FSR Case Histories, December 1972, p. 15; David F.

Tiago Machado, age 19, got out his binoculars and went up the hill, approaching to within 30 feet. It had a narrow dome on top, was aluminum colored, about 12 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. A hinged door was open in the top of the dome, and from this two humanoid figures emerged and seemed to float to the ground. Two others were visible inside the craft, through windows. The beings, 4.5 feet tall, were dressed in tight, silvery garments without buttons, covering them from head to foot. Their facial features were seen through transparent helmets. Their skin was yellow, and they had slanting eyes, and mouths with thin, slit-like lips. They came to within 3-4 meters of the witness. When they laughed at the witness, who was smoking a cigarette, he could see that they had black teeth. He tossed the cigarette pack close to one, who put his hand above it, and the pack floated up into his hand. The thumb of his hand was set further back than on a human hand. The beings spoke in “hoarse, guttural” sounds. When a friend called out to the witness the entities walked backward and re-entered through the door. The second one, when halfway through, pointed a tube at Machado, which emitted a bluish flame that “floated” toward him. When it hit him, he felt pain and was paralyzed; as the UFO took off, almost horizontally, the witness fainted. A red welt remained where the flame had struck him. On the ground were found three landing gear leg marks. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, June 1971, p. 9; David F.

She described it as white, looking like one of the triangular tents used by exterminators of the sauva ant. Nearby were three men with helmets, whom she took to be the workers fighting the ants. The boys told her that the men’s clothing was shining, but she described it as gray. She continued her work, when suddenly the boys cried out, “Look, the little tent has disappeared.” She saw that both tent and men had indeed gone. Shortly afterward the boys pointed out a “luminous ball the size of the sun” stationary just above the woods. It disappeared after 30 minutes, and soon after a Brazilian Air Force helicopter appeared and descended about two kilometers away. The helicopter was seen on several occasions during the next few days. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He watches it for a time, then goes in to get binoculars. He goes off to the hill and approaches the object until he is about 33 feet away. It is a disc made of silvery metal with a dome on top. It is about 13 feet in diameter and stands on three legs. A door opens and two men come floating down to the ground. Machado can see two other beings inside. The men walk toward him, making signs. They are wearing silver diver’s suits, have black teeth and thin-lipped mouths, and one eye is lower than the other. Each has a kind of burn or cicatrice on each cheek. Machado is nervous, so he lights a cigarette. The beings apparently think this is funny, so he tosses the cigarette pack toward them. One of them leans sideways and stretches out his hand. The pack floats 8 inches up to his hand and disappears. Suddenly one of Machado’s friends calls out to him, and the beings walk back to the UFO, still facing him, and jump up to the door. The last one in pauses and pulls out a kind of weapon, points it at Machado, and a flame like a welding arc comes out of the barrel and floats toward him, hitting him in the thigh. He feels faint and paralyzed as the UFO takes off. His friends carry him to a neighbor’s house and find a red swelling on his leg. Later, investigators find three imprints in an equilateral triangle at the site, each about 5 inches in diameter. Soil samples taken show no radioactivity. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Nigel Rimes, “[The Pirassununga Landing,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-SI%201969%20N%203%2CUFO%20Percipients.pdf)” in Charles Bowen, ed., UFO Percipients, special issue no. 3 of FSR, September 1969, pp. 39–45; Brazil 109–114; “[Caso Tiago Machado,](https://www.fenomenum.com.br/ufo/casuistica/1960/tiagomachado)” Portal Fenomenum, June 15, 2016 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4665 ### Event 24773 (5D1548AF) **Date:** 2/7/1969 **Description:** Shortly after 7:00 a.m. in Pirassununga, Sao Paulo State, Brazil the shouts of people exclaiming about a mysterious bluish-white object that had landed on a hillside awakened Tiago Machado, age 19.

The men were 1.5 meters (4.95 feet) tall and had beards, long hair, and asymmetrical eyes. Both humanoids wore white unbuttoned shirts and long beige colored pants with what appeared to be colorful inscriptions and drawings on them. They also wore dark shiny medallions around their necks. At first stunned, Luis fought back effectively, knocking them both to the ground, one on top of the other. The two humanoids got up and exchanged some words between themselves in a strange language. They then told Luis in perfect Portuguese that they were leaving since he was much stronger than they, and they both fled into the thick underbrush. Luis's dog “rolled up into a ball on the ground for protection” during the attack upon its master. The dog refused to eat anything after the encounter, and died a month later, its body found bloated up. The dog had never been willing to return to the place of the encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, June 1971, p. 10; David F.

He came upon two men sitting with their backs to the road and their feet in a ditch, while a pale young woman with white, shoulder length hair lay across the ditch. She wore a long white gown that covered her feet. The men sat in a relaxed attitude looking down at the woman. They were about 5.5 feet in height, had dark brown skin and closely cropped hair, and wore brown pants and jackets. He questioned the men but got no response. When he stepped closer to see what was wrong with the woman he ran into an invisible barrier that he likened to a bar across the stomach. He tried to grab one of the men but was again prevented by a force that repelled him. This frightened him and he ran off, "shaking like a leaf." The light he first saw was a luminous haze that had no visible source. Mr. Brown found some marks on the ground at the site the following day. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The boys fled down the mountain. They returned later that day with two guards, but there was no longer anything to be found at the site. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, June 1971, p. 10; David F.

Maslund, a radio and TV station technician, was at work at his TV station at 6:30 p.m. in Trejorningsjo, Angermanland, Sweden when he heard the station’s transmission alarm system go off. Opening the door, he saw outside about 50 feet away a UFO 150 meters wide and 5-6 meters tall, hovering in the air. A “tunnel of light” extended from the object through which the witness saw 7 or 8 entities, about 1.30 meters tall by 30-40 cm wide, floating towards him. They passed Maslund within inches and he found that he could not move; after 5-10 minutes, they left the station and re-entered the object through the tunnel, which then closed. The object then took off toward the north and the witness was again able to move. The entities were non-humanoid in shape, looking more like boxes than anything; he had the feeling the entities were inside the boxes and did not want to be recognized in their “true form.” **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Moments later he saw a light rising above a nearby hill and felt a strong compulsion to walk towards it. After a short walk he came upon an object with translucent walls that gave off a dazzling light. Despite the translucent appearance the object seemed to be made of some metallic substance. Part of the surface of the object flung itself back, and three human-like figures stood in the opening, one a woman. The witness was invited inside by one of the men, who informed him that the other two were also humans. After a short ride in the craft he was told that time, as we conceive of it, doesn't exist. He was eventually released back to his vehicle, which could quickly be started again without any difficulty. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It was green in color with pale brown spots, and had “legs” underneath. It was 5-6 meters wide and four meters high, with a brilliantly lit turret in which he could see at least two figures moving about. It approached him, and emitted a beam of pink light that struck him and caused him to faint. When he regained consciousness, he could see that the UFO had led down two thick “ropes” that were one meter in thickness. Through binoculars he was able to see that two humanoid figures—one in red overalls and the other in white, with blue helmets---were climbing toward the object. The witness fainted again, and when he came to, the object was gone. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He wore a kind of diving suit with a soft green luminosity, and a helmet through which she could see a pair of glowing reflective eyes, like those of a cat. She told her earlier companion and a third girl. The second girl also saw the entity, who by then was standing facing sideways. The third girl ran to the aid of the first witness who was so frightened by the figure's appearance she went into a state of shock. That same evening the boyfriend of one of these girls was walking on the other side of the city when the streetlights went out and he saw the faintly illuminated silhouettes of two small figures standing on a precipice above the street only a few meters away from him. Frightened, he hurried on, but walking through the area later the streetlights were on again and the figures were gone. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

It fell from the sky, falling in an unusually slow manner, in an apparent controlled descent. Among the many witnesses was an elderly man and his children. He told the children to go immediately to the landing site to assist any possible survivors. As he watched hundreds of townspeople converging on the hill, he saw two beings come out of the craft. The craft itself seemed to be slowly "moving like a wing" that was shifting slightly in the wind. When the first people neared the site the object and its occupants vanished abruptly, and nothing was to be found at the "crash" site. No one heard any engine noise as the craft descended, and investigations at the site by the military police found no wreckage. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

They got out of the car and saw a large oval-shaped craft with lights around its edge and a beam of light shining from its center. A memory lapse occurred, with one witness vaguely recalling the object landing and shining a beam of light towards them. Later one of the witnesses remembered being inside a circular room lying on a white Formica table. He was surrounded by several humanoids described as being five-foot tall with pale gray skin, large round heads, and large black eyes. These beings were well built and wore tight fitting grayish green coveralls. One being appeared to be the examiner, and he wore a turtleneck garment and peered intently into the witness's face. At one point one of the witnesses remembered struggling and thought it felt that he had been ripped to pieces and then reassembled again. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Tukeva reports that the objects are ball or disc-shaped but cannot determine how far away they are. Tukeva sees the objects accelerate away from him “at great speed.” Indeterminate radar images are also later reported 125 miles away in Vaasa. A second pilot-in-training, Jouko Kuronen, overhears the radio communications between the flight controller and Tukeva and sees the UFOs as well. According to the Finnish Armed Forces magazine Ruotuväki, the reports are similar to other cases occurring over bodies of water during ongoing military exercises and may have been due to “transnational spy planes or aircraft.” **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Wikipedia, “[Finnish Air Force UFO sighting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish%5FAir%5FForce%5FUFO%5Fsighting)”; “[1969: Pilots Report 7 Yellow Spheres at Pori Airport, Finland,](https://www.ufocasebook.com/2013/finland1969.html)” UFO Casebook, August 13, 2013; “[Ruotuväki: Ilmavoimien lentäjät tekivät merkittävän ufo-havainnon 60-luvulla,](https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-2000000502183.html)” Ilta-Sanomat, May 8, 2012 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4679 ### Event 24929 (1D14BAD1) **Date:** 4/12/1969 **Description:** At noon several Swedish Air Force personnel sighted seven balloon or disc-shaped UFOs; the objects hovered over Rissala AFB, Sweden and there was reported to be radar confirmation of the sighting. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 37; UFO Information Sweden, February 1971; MUFON UFO Journal, issue no. 152 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_1978 ### Event 24930 (9C986277) **Date:** 4/12/1969 **Description:** A former-schoolmistress was exercising her dog in some fields between Bridgeworth and Shrewsbury, England at about 6:30 p.m. when she observed a top-shaped object on the far side of a hedge, It stood about three meters high and was resting on gray colored legs. Around the object she saw three beings about the size of 11-year-old children. They had pear shaped heads and appeared to be lacking hands. They wore black outfits with white belts. Despite their apparent lack of hands they were collecting samples from the ground that they placed on the side of the object. The specimens seemed to disappear into the solid craft. The woman's dog fled the scene at the outset of her encounter. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He soon found himself inside some kind of dark, drum-like object that was totally silent. The object was moving through the sky at a very high speed. He blanked out and could not remember anything after that. He awoke lying on top of a rock next to the Paranaiba River, miles from his original location. Meanwhile, his horse had been found tied up at another ranch, apparently unharmed. Sr. Roque also appeared to be unharmed except for a strange bruise on his side. He did not remember seeing any entities or hearing anyone talk to him during the time he was missing. Soon after his experience he began neglecting his work and drinking heavily. He also reportedly fell in love with his 17-year-old niece. A month later Roque again was reported missing, this time along with his niece. On June 12, both Roque and his niece were found dead under unusual circumstances. Some said they had been poisoned. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Gordon Creighton, FSR, September-October 1970, p. 13; Dr. Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, August 1971, p. 12; Albert S.

One minute later, as the taxi turns a corner, they see it again, 100–130 feet away, apparently in the same spot. The driver stops the taxi, and they can see what looks like a metallic craft, approximately 33 feet in diameter, with the appearance of “two soup bowls joined rim- to-rim.” There is a steady red light on top. The object seems to be noiselessly rocking backwards and forwards, at a frequency of 1–2 rocks per second. A “depressing blue glow” can be seen through a window that takes up most of the upper part. A humanoid figure is apparently operating controls near the window. Another figure is pointing at the witnesses. A third seems to be walking toward a back door. All three are apparently human-sized and are either wearing tight black clothing, are black skinned, or seen in silhouette. After 15 seconds or less, the driver speeds off down the road, drops the couple off, and drives off quickly without taking their fare. At 8:00 p.m., the woman and her daughter return to the park. The UFO is not to be seen. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Bill Chalker, “[1969: The Great UFO](http://theozfiles.blogspot.com/2020/09/1969-great-ufo-daze-of-oz.html) [Daze of Oz,](http://theozfiles.blogspot.com/2020/09/1969-great-ufo-daze-of-oz.html)” The Oz Files, September 19, 2020 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4685 ### Event 24962 (89AADC3D) **Date:** 4/25/1969 **Description:** At 7:30 p.m. a ten-meter diameter disc-shaped object was seen hovering over a park in Greenacre, New South Wales, Australia by three witnesses. A Greenacre woman, Mrs. Froml, and her 13-year old daughter were going home by taxi. When they passed Roberts Park they saw the object hovering over a playing field lit by floodlights, where some youths were playing football. The floodlights formed a kind of ceiling over the field and it was unlikely that had any of the players looked up, they would have seen anything. The object was football shaped, the top was transparent, and the bottom was a greenish metallic color, like gun metal. It had an interior light that was "the brightest blue imaginable," and the bottom portion had three large transparent holes. The object was tilted downward, and inside the object could be seen three tall humanoid figures, over six feet tall. in the transparent upper half of the UFO. One pointed down at the witnesses and then turned toward a rectangular, lighted area, apparently working some controls. Mrs Froml asked the cabbie, a Greek immigrant, to stop the taxi, but instead he accelerated away from the park and drove straight to her home. After he dropped her and her daughter off, he left in a frightened state, without collecting his fare. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. 126; David F.

He perceives figures moving around him, and he feels himself shot with something that paralyzes his legs. Two small humanoid beings, joined by a third, drag him off into a strange machine shaped like two saucers joined together by a thick, vertical cylinder. The machine lifts off, and after a long interval it lands. Da Silva is carried by his armpits into a large quadrangular room, where he finds himself with his original three captors and a fourth being—also humanoid, with red hair and a beard that comes down to his waist—who seems to be their leader. He remembers afterward that all four have mouths that look like fishes’ mouths. The room is made of stone. Inside, on a low shelf seemingly fashioned out of stone, da Silva sees the bodies of four human men lying stretched out side by side. Naked, rigid, and positioned on their backs, the bodies bear no visible wounds, but it is obvious that they are dead. One is a well-built black man and another has light brown skin. Two others, more slightly built, are Caucasian, one of them very blond “like a foreigner.” The beings do not speak any Portuguese but, using pictures, the leader manages to convey to da Silva that they want him to be their guide and weapons provider for what he supposes is a subsequent invasion of Earth. He refuses, fingering his crucifix, which the angry leader rips from his hand. Out of nowhere, da Silva sees appear in front of him a human figure who stands motionless, gazing at him in a friendly fashion. The figure, about five and a half feet tall, is Caucasian, slender, bearded with long fair hair, and dressed in a friar’s cassock. Amazingly, the little men seem oblivious to his presence. Speaking in Portuguese, the figure gives da Silva certain “revelations” that he afterward insists on keeping secret. He apparently knows who the figure is but he does not reveal that either, saying only that he wasn’t Jesus. The figure vanishes, and the beings who have abducted him start quarreling among themselves. They carry da Silva back to their machine; there follows another flight, another landing. Da Silva awakens in the dawn of what turns out to be May 9, four and a half days after his abduction, some 300 miles to the east of the place where he had been abducted. He supposedly bears the physical marks of his ordeal— wounds on his neck, lameness in one leg—for days afterward. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Húlvio Brant Aleixo, “[O Caso ‘Bebedouro,’](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/Brazil/SBEDV/SBEDV%20-%20No%20094-98%20-%201973-1974.pdf)” SBEDV Boletim, no. 94/98 \(Sept. 1973/June 1974\): 7–22; Húlvio Brant Aleixo, “[Abduction at Bebedouro,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201973%20V%2019%20N%206.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 19, no. 6 \(Nov./Dec. 1973\): 6–14; Húlvio Brant Aleixo, “[Bebedouro II: The Little Men](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201975%20V%2021%20N%203-4.pdf) [Return for the Soldier,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201975%20V%2021%20N%203-4.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 21, no. 3/4 \(November 1975\): 32–35; Walter Buhler, “[Thoughts on](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201975%20V%2021%20N%203-4.pdf) [the Bebedouro Case,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR%201975%20V%2021%20N%203-4.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review 21, no. 3/4 \(November 1975\): 36–38; “[O Caso de Bebedouro,](https://www.fenomenum.com.br/ufo/casuistica/1960/bebedouro)” Portal Fenomenum, June 15, 2016; David Halperin, “[Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman: ‘Descent into Hell’ and](https://www.davidhalperin.net/jerome-clark-and-loren-coleman-descent-into-hell-and-the-bebedouro-abduction/) [the Bebedouro Abduction,](https://www.davidhalperin.net/jerome-clark-and-loren-coleman-descent-into-hell-and-the-bebedouro-abduction/)” davidhalperin.net, July 27, 2018; Clark III 185–189; Brazil 116–121 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4690 ### Event 24986 (0A5C6A70) **Date:** 5/4/1969 **Description:** An abduction occurred in 1969 to a soldier while fishing on the banks of the Rio das Velhas near the city of Bebedouro in the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil. Jose Antonio da Silva had left his home in Belo Horizonte and taken a bus to Bebedouro to go fishing the evening before. At about midnight he reached the banks of a small lagoon and set up his tent and fished for a while without success. The next day, at about 3 p.m. he became aware of figures moving around behind him. He heard a deep sound like a groan, then was struck in the legs by a "burst of fire" coming from a form partly hidden in the bushes. Seized with a cramp and feeling a numbness in his legs, he knelt down. A beam of light, greenish in the middle and reddish on the edges, had hit him. In a matter of seconds he was seized under the armpits by masked two four-foot-tall humanoid beings, who wore shining light-colored garments and aluminum colored helmets with facemasks. Tubes ran from the masks to small containers on their backs.

They blindfolded him and brought him before a little man with long red hair and a big nose. They dragged him to a craft that was shaped like a vertical cylinder terminated by wider saucer shaped top and bottom; rods from the base of the cylinder supported the upper disc. It was only bout six feet high and nine feet wide. Inside was a cubical room, brilliantly lit but from no visible source. Here they fitted on him a helmet like their own, then tied him down to a seat.

He felt a sensation of taking off. During the flight, which he felt lasted for hours, they talked among themselves in an incomprehensible language with many "R" sounds. At one point in the journey the craft seemed to turn on its side for awhile. When they landed he was blindfolded and dragged into a large room, where a little man without a spacesuit confronted him; he had long reddish hair and a beard that flowed to his waist. He was strongly built, and his skin was pallid in color. He had large round, green eyes and a big nose, and his mouth appeared toothless, "like a fish." To the side of the witness were laid 4 human cadavers, one a Negro's. A dozen more little men, all much resembling the leader, were in the room. They examined his fishing tackle and other possessions. Several carried weapons. The leader then addressed him in his incomprehensible language, simultaneously making sketches on a whiteboard beside him.

He was given a stone cup and drank a bitter green liquid that restored his energy and made him better able to comprehend what the alien was trying to say. The leader conveyed to Da Silva the idea that he was expected to help them land on Earth, a proposition that the soldier rejected, fingering his rosary. The leader became irritated, snatched the rosary away, and showed it to the others. At this point a kind of vision appeared to Da Silva of a Christ-like man with long fair hair and beard, dressed like a monk, who spoke to him in Portuguese, giving him a message, which he was sworn to keep secret. After this vision had vanished, Da Silva was again blindfolded, dragged back to the spacecraft, and returned to Earth in the same manner as he had been taken away. He was released during the night. When morning came he found that he was near Vitoria, more than 200 miles from Bebedouro, and that four and a half days had passed since his abduction. He suffered various physical ailments later. Jose Antonio has repeatedly refused to reveal the content of this message. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Hulvio Brant Aleixo and Dr. Walter Buhler, FSR, November-December 1973, p. 6; David F.

When they made signs for him to approach he fled in terror, and they pursued him and knocked him to the ground by the force from an energy weapon one of the short humanoids drew from his belt. They gathered around Rodrigues, felt his arm, and conversed amongst themselves in an unintelligible language. Finally, they shook their heads and departed in a UFO parked nearby that ascended vertically. The witness identified the beings from various drawings, including Da Silva's that were shown to him by the investigators. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Inside, the vegetation is not damaged, but there are three holes that form a perfect equilateral triangle, 15 feet on a side. The holes are 8 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. He finds a second, slightly smaller circle to the southwest, again with scorched grass and 3 indentations. A third ground marking, a semicircle, is near the second. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Donald E. Keyhoe and Gordon I. R.

A barking dog woke the witnesses, Mr. & Mrs. Chaput, and a bright light was shining from the craft into their bedroom. The UFO made a purring sound. The incident lasted about five minutes. Ring ground marks were found in the yard. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** NICAP UFO Investigator, July 1969, p. 2; UNICAT database, case 323; J.

He had just driven past the Rockville General Store when he noticed something about 50 yards ahead of his car. At first he thought it might be a couple of deer, but he soon realized that he was looking at two humanoid figures about three and a half to four feet tall. The creatures were wearing spherical helmets that looked as large as basketballs. Circling each helmet was a pale green band that reflected the headlights of the vehicle. The beings stood motionless at first, but they soon scurried off by running up an embankment to the left. The first two had barely disappeared when a third small being appeared from the right side of the road and quickly joined the others by climbing over the embankment. Luczkowich reported that the little men were dressed in light-brown coveralls that were somewhat baggy in the legs but tight-fitting at the ankles. He did not see any arms, and he could not detect features behind the oversized helmets.

The student was shaken by his experience, and he did not tell anyone of the encounter until Sunday. On Monday Luczkowich and three other men returned to the site. They were able to locate a fresh trail through the poison ivy and honeysuckle growing on the embankment the three beings had scaled. Beyond the embankment they found a barley field with a path through it, such as the three humanoids might have made. After walking in a few feet they noticed two flattened areas, where small entities might have thrown themselves down in the field. According to Luczkowich, the crushed barley at one flattened area showed the imprint of two small bodies, while the other impression outlined one other small body. About a half mile west of the area and two hours earlier 18-year-old Debbie Payne had reported seeing an oval-shaped luminous object over her house when she arrived home from a date. The UFO appeared rather bright, then dimmed and became bright two times before she and her date reached the door to her house. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

Going outside through his back door at 1:00 a.m., he saw "the white face of an animal" and a light in the sky which came down toward him. He was paralyzed and could not move to re-enter the house or call out. An "enormous object" landed beside him, and he was "pulled through an opening" into the ship, finding himself inside a small elevator, which went up into a brightly lit circular compartment with a curved ceiling, about 45 feet in diameter. In this room were six small humanoid beings only 31 inches tall. They had big heads and they wore tight-fitting, plastic like outfits, entirely covering their bodies and heads, light cream in color, having openings only for their eyes and ears. Their eyes were slanted. Each entity stood inside a cylinder three feet in diameter and 15" high, and above its head was a curved plate with a lever. They spoke among themselves in a language of short shrilly sounds, "like pigs grunting." After four or five minutes one of the beings moved a control and the illumination increased in brightness to such a point that Pereira lost consciousness. At 6:00 a.m. he woke up in his bed, not knowing how he got there. He had an inflammation of the eyes lasted a month, and a year after the event he still felt light-headed and had difficulty concentrating. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He stepped out his door and saw three of the same short entities he had a frightening encounter with earlier that month at Bebedouro, Minas Gerais, Brazil dressed in the same flightsuits. They stood motionless, looking at him. He quickly stepped back inside and bolted the door, without saying a word or hearing a sound from them. He then explained to investigators that they wanted him to "work against my own people" and expressed his great fear that our world was in great danger, without knowing from where the danger would come. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

He calls his mother, who sees a steady red light on top of a more diffuse blue-white light darting haphazardly in a zigzag pattern but in general moving to the north until it disappears behind their house. The witnesses shift their position and can still see the light hovering in the northwest. The light is now seen as circular with hazy edges and about half the diameter of the full moon. At about 7:00 p.m. it moves at high speed to the north. The mother calls the radar station at Kalamunda, which simultaneously gets a request from Perth Airport to check out an unidentified echo on their meteorological radar. The Kalamunda operator sees a large echo some 9 miles away, which reappears for short durations on 5 further occasions and is last seen at 7:42 p.m. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Swords 397–398; Bill Chalker, “[1969: The Great UFO Daze of Oz,](http://theozfiles.blogspot.com/2020/09/1969-great-ufo-daze-of-oz.html)” The Oz Files, September 19, 2020 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4695 ### Event 25032 (BD95CF01) **Date:** 5/23/1969 **Description:** At midnight in Kalamunda, Western Australia nocturnal lights zigzagged through the sky and were picked up as blips on radar as they maneuvered to the north. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bill Chalker, The Oz Files, p. 67 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3048 ### Event 25033 (FFDF43AE) **Date:** 5/24/1969 **Time:** 02:30 **Location:** VINA, CA **Description:** 3 separate cops.

His luminous wristwatch glows intensely and unnaturally. After about one minute the object takes off and disappears rapidly. The van’s electrical system returns to normal. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Peter Johnson, “[Auto-Stop near Docking,](http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/ufologia/FSR-CH%201971%20N%205.pdf)” Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, no. 5 \(June 1971\): 1–2; UFOFiles2, [p. 81](https://archive.org/details/the-ufo-files-the-inside-story-of-real-life-sightings-david-clarke/page/n133/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4703 ### Event 25098 (B096CB43) **Date:** 6/19/1969 **Location:** Docking, Norfolk, England **Description:** 11:50 p.m. Arthur Hendry, 17, is getting ready to cycle home near Docking, Norfolk, England, when he hears a strange whistling noise above him that intensifies and becomes a powerful throbbing.

Among the witnesses were policemen, Coast Guardsmen, a harbor patrolman, a local newspaper photographer, and an electronics engineer. The first report was at 9:35 p.m. "The objects appeared solid and yet were a source of their own light," US Coast Guardsman Vernon Kleman stated. "They appeared as if from nowhere and could brighten up to a size much larger than when originally seen. They moved at a variety of speeds, some fast, some slow and at times they were stationary for a minute or more...The objects were colored white, green or orange and they changed colors at will." A roughly oval-shaped UFO appeared to have a rotating rim with red, green and yellow lights around its center. Increasing in intensity, the object was in view for about a minute before it "quickly diminished in size and brilliance" and disappeared. "Once a smaller object seemed to enter the water," Kleman continued. "It was submerged for 4-6 seconds. Then it traveled straight upward at an excessive speed." **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3556 ### Event 25101 (B6D11ED8) **Date:** 6/20/1969 **Description:** At 10:25 members of the Michigan City Police Department and Port Authority began seeing the UFOs. Robert G. Howington, harbor policeman, said the objects he saw disappeared to the "northwest with terrific speed." Officer Ted Stantz saw lights that erratically "went back and forth across the sky." Policeman James R. Coughlin and others saw the objects at the same time. "We saw about 9 or 10 such objects over a span of about two hours," Police Sgt. Lance M. Hilberg stated in his report to NICAP. "One seemed to approach very close. The others were quite high and very distant. All objects appeared very bright and solid. The closest one was extremely bright [and] faded away at tremendous speed--much faster than any aircraft..."

Officer Tony C. Ragle said he was cruising in his squad car when he got a call to assist personnel at the Port Authority. Looking through his windshield, he saw the large bright object that "hovered over Lake Michigan for approximately 90 seconds, then went up and darted toward Chicago.” Bill Allen, a photographer-reporter for The Michigan City News-Dispatch, saw an object over the lakefront at 11:30 p.m. It looked like an upside down saucer with a pulsating red light around the bottom. The top was an orange-yellow color. The objects were also viewed over Gary, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Bill Laas, NICAP UFO Investigator, September-October 1969, p. 1 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_3557 ### Event 25102 (8AF3A1EF) **Date:** 6/22/1969 **Description:** Ms. Terry Ennshyman reportedly encountered a "robot" type humanoid in Dunedin, New Zealand who conducted her onboard a landed disc-shaped UFO.

It approaches to within 180 feet and the children run over the hill to tell other children and adults. Thirteen people, including their father, return to see the object. Arcesio Bermúdez takes a flashlight with him and returns in terror after seeing a small person and a craft that lights up and flies away. Within 2 days, Bermúdez loses all appetite, his skin temperature drops, blue spots appear on his skin, and his stools become bloody. Within a week, two Bogotá physicians, unaware of his UFO experience, concludes he has gastroenteritis. Within hours of his exam, Bermúdez dies. His doctor claims he has previously been in good health. His injuries suggest a fatal whole-body ionizing radiation dose of 300–500 rems. Likely only X-rays, gamma rays, or neutrons could travel a distance of 45 feet through the air. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “[UFO Observed at Farmhouse in Colombia,](https://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201969%2007%2000%20-%20July%5FAugust.pdf)” APRO Bulletin, July/Aug. 1969, pp. 1, 4–5; Story, [pp. 23–25](https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofuf0000unse/page/22/mode/2up); Clark III 253, 950; “[Colombia: Arcesio Bermúdez, the Man Killed](http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2015/12/colombia-arcesio-bermudez-man-killed-by.html) [by a UFO](http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2015/12/colombia-arcesio-bermudez-man-killed-by.html),” Inexplicata, December 14, 2015; Cristian Ávila Jimenez, “[La misteriosa muerte de columbiano 3 días](https://www.eltiempo.com/colombia/otras-ciudades/ovni-avistamiento-y-desaparicion-de-hombre-en-anolaima-cundinamarca-363292) [después de ver supuesto OVNI,](https://www.eltiempo.com/colombia/otras-ciudades/ovni-avistamiento-y-desaparicion-de-hombre-en-anolaima-cundinamarca-363292)” El Tiempo \(Bogotá\), August 20, 2021 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4708 ### Event 25123 (8C8F8C38) **Date:** 7/4/1969 **Description:** Ossipee, New Hampshire - The principal witness was fishing in a boat at about 7:00 in the morning when he heard a big splash behind him. He swung around and looked up to see a silver oval shaped object about 30 feet in diameter, 300 feet above him. The UFO made a humming sound as it rose to about 3000 feet and hovered.

When he signaled to it with a flashlight it approached to within 150 feet of his house. It was a Saturn-shaped UFO, yellow-orange in color, and had two bent, blue and green legs. It appeared to land on a nearby hill. Arcesio Bermudez, an adult, went to the landing site and approached to within 20 feet of the craft. He saw a being inside the object whose upper body looked normal, but whose lower half--from the waist down--resembled a luminous letter "A". The object then "blinked on," rose and disappeared. Two days later Sr. Bermudez became very ill, and within a few days he died of gastroenteritis. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

On closer inspection, it proves to be a hovering UFO. He quickly goes home, and by the time he returns with his mother in the family car, the UFO has been joined by another identical object. They are moving about 20 mph to the southeast, 50 feet in the air, 200 feet apart, and nearly parallel to some high-powered electrical lines. As they drive to right outside the golf course, both UFOs apparently respond to their presence by turning toward them but soon resumed their parallel course when Oliver turns the car engine off. Oliver walks to within 50 feet of the leading object. Each is about 30 feet in diameter, saucer-shaped, with an upper flat-topped cupola and about 24 square windows through which comes the bright red light. They are completely silent.

Edgar Paquette and Mrs. Leo Edwards are driving near Petawawa, Ontario, when they see a bright star that lights up the Ottawa River next to them. Convinced the light is following them, Paquette turns off the headlights, which makes the object appear to hesitate. But he gets out of the car, causing the interior light to go on, and the object descends to within 60 feet of the ground. When he starts signaling it with a flashlight, it comes even closer, and Paquette sees that it is 8 feet in diameter with two legs beneath it. Both of them panic and drive home, dragging their teenage children out of bed to look at the light. Ontario police officers Jack McKay and Grant Chaplin follow the light for 38 minutes as it travels at a high altitude. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 83–84 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4712 ### Event 25140 (1C891DEC) **Date:** 7/13/1969 **Description:** A disc was sighted over a farm south of Garrison, Iowa shortly after 10 p.m. A 40-foot wide circle of burnt soybean plants was found in a field on the farm. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, July-August 1969, p. 1 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4033 ### Event 25141 (AA080159) **Date:** Mid 7/1969 **Location:** Manotick, Ontario **Description:** Bernard O’Brien is cutting grass in a field with his tractor near Manotick, Ontario, when a small cloud of smoke rises from the ground as he passes over a particular spot. He notifies the field’s owner, John Fox, who comes out for a look. Fox finds three near-perfect circles in the field, two together and the third nearly 150 feet away. Each of them are rings of affected grass 15–20 feet in diameter and about a foot wide. Grass is flattened inside the circle, but the rings themselves are dark and contain a crystalline substance. [Peter Millman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter%5FMillman) of the National Research Council claims that the circles are caused by the fairy ring mushroom \(Marasmius oreades\) because an analysis of the crystalline substance shows no evidence of mineral content or radioactivity. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 187–190 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4713 ### Event 25142 (CA145A25) **Date:** 7/16/1969 **Time:** 15:30 **Location:** ABEE, ALTA **Description:** Girl.

Around the same time a local handicapped boy also reported being taken onboard a UFO and given a ride; his encountered occurred at 2:30 a.m. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Daivd F.

The close encounter lasted for about an hour. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** James P. Tinney, FSR Case Histories, June 1971, p. 13 **Source:** Johnson, **ID:** Johnson_4872 ### Event 25188 (0C71DC6B) **Date:** 8/11/1969 **Description:** Jean Migueres was driving an ambulance at around 6:00 a.m. from Perpignan to Rouen, France when he heard a voice in his head say: “Do not be afraid, nothing bad will happen to you, you will feel nothing.” Twenty minutes later he observed a nearly spherical cloud moving toward him. It then took the form of a cloudy nucleus surrounded by an incandescent white ring having at its base a dull black metallic platform, shaped like a domed disc, about 65 feet in diameter. At the same time, a “DS” car appeared, moving directly toward the ambulance. Migueres was unable to avoid it, and a head on collision took place 30 kilometers from Rouen. He estimated that the ambulance was speeding at 100 kph at the time. After the crash, a being “materialized” on the seat beside Migueres, and addressed him telepathically in French. “Be assured, you are only apparently injured…you will feel no physical pain…I am going to “regenerate” you by a procedure that is not yet known on your planet.” He then took from a pouch on his belt a disc about 1 inch in diameter, of an incandescent white luminosity, and applied it to the nape of Miguere’s neck. Migueres felt a prickling sensation all along his spinal column. The being said:”This accident was necessary for you; we will come back to see you.” Then he disappeared. Migueres had multiple injuries and broken bones but reported feeling no pain, then or later. He underwent several lengthy operations and was twice pronounced “clinically dead.” After an internal hemorrhage with bursting of the gall bladder, he received a telepathic message to “leave the hospital immediately,” which he obeyed, being transported to a hospital at Montpellier, near his home, where he was again pronounced “dead.” Nevertheless he survived. After three weeks in the Montpellier hospital he received a message: “You have succeeded in your mission thanks to our help…you can now go home, we will continue to protect you.”

He went home, but for three years his broken bones remained unhealed. “Then one day, all the bones re-knitted in record time,” and he was able to walk again, without even a limp. Migueres says that since his accident he has had the gift of healing. He remains in contact with the “extraterrestrials,” who have given him a “code which permits him to free the corresponding wavelength of his brain” to establish contact with them. The “extraterrestrial” seen at the time of the accident was of medium height, or less, with a very swarthy skin and a big head with a very high and wide forehead, eyes far apart, eyebrows “like scars,” and brown hair cut short. He was wearing a coverall or a pants and shirt combination resembling a military uniform, with no hat or helmet. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

At 2:50 a.m. near Macae, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil he saw a blue light which, when seen again some 200 meters ahead, now appeared as a bright blue inverted plate about 20 meters in diameter. It floated at an inclined angle 3 to 4 meters above the ground. His passengers were all sleeping at the time. As he came around a bend in the road, Sr. Renato saw five or six small human like figures less than a meter tall, all scurrying rapidly about. Each one carried an illuminated pear-shaped implement, held by a small rod; these glowed like red-hot irons. Renato sped up the car and just after he passed through Macae his headlights failed and the motor quit. He sat there for a long while not knowing what to do until, finally, he was again able to start the car and proceed. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

She had scarcely stretched out when a big gust of wind swept through a window and blew the curtains out. Mrs. Vellacca got up to close the window and became frozen in place, literally unable to move. Furthermore, standing on the other side of the window was a woman staring back at her. The woman was well proportioned with beautiful long dark chestnut hair. But the woman had no discernible features where her face would be. Oddly, when Mrs. Vellacca recovered from her frozen immobility, the visitor had vanished. She rushed outside and turned on all the floodlights to illuminate the area, but could see nothing unusual. Then there came a high-pitched whine similar to that of a motorcycle, except that when a motorcycle reaches its highest velocity there is a loud roar, and none was heard. Instead, the noise gained in shrill frequency until it was no longer heard. The dogs in the neighborhood were raising a great rumpus. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

It was dressed in a tight-fitting shiny black suit, with a gold sash or "bandoleer" over one shoulder. It also had long, dark golden hair that fell to its shoulders and had bright eyes. The eye color was impossible to determine in the moonlight, but it had a “rather feminine” set of features and a not unattractive face. She was motionless, with one arm upraised. The witnesses could not approach any closer than about 30 yards, overcome by fear. Fear mixed with another impossible to describe emotional response caused both men be beat a hasty retreat. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

Near the center of the circle, he finds three ground indentations, positioned so as to form the inside points of a triangle. Off to one side is the taller stand of tea tree, also bleached and dead. He remembers seeing this from afar three weeks earlier, arousing his curiosity. The dead scrubweed within the circle is still standing and undisturbed. It looks as if some large object has come down from the sky and landed on three long stilts. At first, O’Neil only discusses his find within the family, but the news quickly leaks to the local radio and press. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Harold H.

B. Barrie and his wife Vivian are driving 5 miles west of Rennie, Manitoba, on a poor highway in bad weather. He stops to clean mud off the headlights and noticees a light to the east hanging just off Highway 44 and over the trees. He continues driving and he sees the light as a light-pink inverted saucer moving with a jerky motion. Now only 500 feet away, it seems to be 20 feet in diameter with an odd white tail that snakes toward the ground. Suddenly the car’s windshield wipers stop working, the headlights go out, and the engine stalls. Barrie gets out of the car and the object zooms silently to the southwest and is lost to sight. He senses the air has a strange, heavy odor, but he is able to get the car started again. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Chris Rutkowski, Canada’s UFOs: Declassified, August Night, 2022, pp. 81–82 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4724 ### Event 25267 (9D5E9BFA) **Date:** 10/4/1969 **Time:** 02:50 **Location:** KAHAROA, NI, NZ **Description:** Farmer. 2 night lights trail across sky / 10 minute(s). 53' and 30' crop circles. / LDLN#152. **Type:** sighting **Reference:** FLYING SAUCER REVIEW (FSR), London.

The UFO apparently landed at the time, leaving traces. On the 16th at around 5 p.m., Steve watched a spherical UFO, ten feet wide and 6-7 feet high, land not 60 feet away from him. His attention was caught by the humming sound it emitted as a ramp came smoothly out of the craft. A little man, 3 to 4 feet tall, with long arms and hands with only two digits, emerged with a bow-legged gait. He wore a disproportionately large yellow-brown helmet, which he took off to wipe his brow. The boy could see that he was bald and had a pale green complexion. He had large eyes set close together, a slit like mouth and a double slit where the nose would be. He was dressed in a white spacesuit. The being looked directly at Steven, then put his helmet back on and re-entered the UFO. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The radar officer reports a target rapidly approaching the ship, apparently moving 213 miles in one minute, which would indicate a speed of 12,780 mph. At 12:47 a.m., the target is only 12 miles away, and it suddenly breaks into six targets. The officer in charge and five other personnel can now see one massive and five smaller lighted objects approaching the ship. The large UFO looks like a big box with semicircles on the side, and it is bigger than the ship, which is 360 feet long. The five smaller objects are egg- shaped, bluish, and no more than 8 feet long and 5–6 feet wide. At about 6,000 feet from the ship, the smaller objects move away from the larger one, three to portside and two to starboard, and begin flying in ellipses between the ship and the large object. At 900 feet away, the officers can hear the object make a humming noise. The ship’s power and instruments go dead as the large object passes overhead. Bright red lights under the UFO seem to be moving back and forth inside the craft, visible through a half-circle on the bottom. “Corn cobs” with green or turquoise pulsating lights are on the side. When the UFO is 600 feet away, the power comes back on. The smaller objects, never coming closer than 1,500–3,000 feet, fly around the ship and join up with the large object on the other side. All 6 objects vanish about 2 miles away. At least 8 minutes have passed, with three radar technicians tracking the UFOs. The ship’s commander orders everyone to keep silent about what they have seen. The sighting is deleted from the ship’s log. The six witnesses are debriefed for two days in Valparaiso by two Chilean Navy officers and four Americans who are allegedly naval attachés with the US Embassy. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** NICAP, “[Six](http://www.nicap.org/691024chile%5Fdir.htm) [Objects Observed and Tracked by Destroyer](http://www.nicap.org/691024chile%5Fdir.htm)”; Bill Chalker, “[EM UFO Incident off Chile in 1969,](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201986%2001%2000%20-%20Vol%2033%20No%203.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 33, no. 3 \(January 1986\): 7–8; Bill Chalker, “An Extraordinary Incident off Chile,” IUR 10, no. 5 \(Sept./Oct. 1985\): 4–6; Bill Chalker, “[EM UFO Incident off Chile in 1969 \(Conclusion\),](http://files.afu.se/Downloads/Magazines/United%20States/APRO%20Bulletin/APRO%20Bulletin%20-%201987%2004%2000%20-%20Vol%2033%20No%205.pdf)” APRO Bulletin 33, no. 5 \(April 1987\): 5–6 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4727 ### Event 25294 (5EC558DD) **Date:** 10/24/1969 **End date:** 10/27/1969 **Locations:** Ankara, Turkey; Mürted Air Base **Description:** The Turkish Air Force is inundated with reports of UFOs over Ankara, Turkey. Jet fighters are scrambled from Mürted Air Base \[now closed\] northwest of the city and close to within 7.5 miles, but the objects always pull away and climb higher. Even the base commander, Ercüment Gökaydin, flies with the interceptors to 35,000 feet, but the UFO is at a height of 50,000 feet. It is a silvery, oval disc. The jets take gun-camera film, which has never been released. One pilot says the object has three round portholes. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Good Need, [p. 299](https://archive.org/details/needtoknow00good/page/298/mode/2up) **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4728 ### Event 25295 (5A68D2FF) **Date:** 10/27/1969 **Description:** NICAP Assistant Director [Gordon I.

As they get out to go to the mine and kill the snake, they find the area oddly hot. They notice a disturbance in the brush some 60 feet away in a flattened area of mine tailings. An egg-shaped object rises noiselessly a few feet off the ground and takes off down the canyon, swaying but not striking small trees. Soon it zooms upward at a sharp angle and is out of sight in seconds. They find a shallow, oval, depressed spot less than 2 inches deep and 10 feet across in the mine tailings. A conical pile of unusual-looking sand is also discovered, and two days later they find a metallic glob about the size of a fist nearby. They have the material analyzed in 1977. Scattered about in the unusual sand pile are irregular bits of pale-green glass-like material made of nearly pure silicon. The metal glob is completely black on the outside and 77% copper in the interior, combined with tin and traces of silver, chromium, and other metals. Both are considered foreign to the geology of the mine site. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** “The Redding, California CE II Case,” IUR 3, no. 3 \(March 1978\): insert **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4730 ### Event 25310 (DFBE9002) **Date:** 10/30/1969 **Description:** At around 10 a.m. a man and a woman, Clinton and Chapin, saw an egg-shaped flying object with a flat bottom, the size of VW Beetle, in a mountainous area of Redding, California. It was seen as it landed in a steep, wooded canyon. The minimum distance to the object was only 60 feet. It took off fast, causing the trees to sway, and zoomed up into the sky. Ground marks were found at the landing site: there was an 10 foot oval-shaped depression, 1-2 inches deep. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** APRO Bulletin, October 1977, p. 5; Paul C.

He spotted a transparent cupola with two heads visible inside that was behind a nearby chimney. He initially had no reaction, but when he turned back to look out the window a short time later he saw the UFO fly slowly from behind the chimney. It was a gray metallic disc with a transparent dome on top. It had many lights resembling car headlights visible around its circumference. He exclaimed, “But it’s a saucer!” and heard a voice whisper outside his ear: “Yes, it is a saucer, do not be afraid, it was necessary that you see it.”

The two beings inside the dome then looked at themselves, and then turned their heads towards the witness while smiling at him. Their heads then disappeared from inside the objec, and at that same moment two other UFOs, identical to the first, also with visible figures inside transparent domes fly over the roofs about 70 meters above him. The first object joined the other two and all three flew towards the north. The witness tried to notify his neighbors but found himself in a kind of stupor with his face and hands swollen and a red bump on his forehead. A red scar on his forehead was still visible when last examined by investigators in 1978. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** Albert S.

The program is arranged by [Thornton Page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thornton%5FLeigh%5FPage) \(NASA Manned Spacecraft Center\), [Philip Morrison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip%5FMorrison) \(MIT\), [Walter Orr Roberts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%5FOrr%5FRoberts) \(University Corporation for Atmospheric Research\), and [Carl Sagan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl%5FSagan) \(Cornell\). Rising to the occasion, [James E.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FE.%5FMcDonald) [McDonald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FE.%5FMcDonald) presents an excellent critique of the Air Force and Colorado project investigations as well as an in- depth examination of the RB-47 and Lakenheath-Bentwaters cases. [Donald Menzel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald%5FHoward%5FMenzel) attempts to show that all UFO sightings can be explained, even though some of his “explanations” are complex. Morrison discusses the nature of hard evidence and concludes that reliable UFO reports would stand up both in a court of law and in the rigors of science.

They were parked along the side of the road in the suburbs, and it was about two a.m. when her mother first noticed a black, saucer-shaped flying object with a flat bottom hovering some distance away. The bottom opened slowly and from it descended a “plastic bubble” with a glowing light inside. It drifted downward, and then separated into three glowing, arrow-shaped objects that came to rest in a parking lot across the street. Shortly afterwards they saw three dark humanoid forms at the spot. They looked like men with wide shoulders and narrow hips, but with arms shorter than normal. One was much larger than the others. All three were “sweeping furiously” with tools like lawn rakes over a spot about nine feet in diameter. What they swept up was put into a basket-shaped container in the center. At one point the larger figure chased after something to the edge of the street and caught it in his hand, picking it up and running back to put it in the basket. When two teenaged boys drove up in a car and saw the beings they drove into the parking lot. The figures then abruptly vanished. **Reference:** [Johnson](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.ufoinfo.com/onthisday/calendar.html) **Reference:** David F.

The car comes back to life, but Patric inexplicably reaches Windsor one hour late. **Reference:** [Eberhart](http://www.cufos.org/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf) **Reference:** Jenny Randles, “The Twelve UFOs of Christmas,” Fortean Times 374 \(Christmas 2018\): 29 **Source:** EberhartUFOI, **ID:** Eberhart_4738 ### Event 25383 (055268CA) **Date:** 12/29/1969 **Time:** 02:30 **Location:** NEBRASKA CITY, NE **Description:** 2 boys. 35' disk stops.
