There were | | also four separate daylight disc sightings in Utah between 7:00 and | | 8:00 p.m. in the following locations: Cedar City, Logan, and Diamond | | Fork Canyon. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database: Salt Lake | | City Tribune, June 28, 1947; Salt Lake City Deseret News, June 30, | | 1947; Salt Lake City Tribune, July 6, 1947). | | | | 1952 - In Celina, Ohio at 1:30 a.m. a married couple saw a glowing | | but dark colored disc fly over the town slowly toward the south, at a | | low altitude. It flew with a slight tilt, and made no sound. (Source: | | Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 2259). | | | | 1952 - Later that day in Pottstown, Pennsylvania a procession of discs flew | | by. At 11:50 p.m. two objects flew side-by-side in tandem-one had | | steady lights and the other had flashing lights. Fifteen minutes | | later two more passed over in the same configuration. After another | | fifteen minutes a single object flew over.

It was | | circular with a wide base and a narrower upper deck, and had four | | tapering legs, two at each end, on the bottom. A shaft of blue light | | that shone upwards at a 45 degree angle was witnessed part of the | | time. The four figures on top of the craft were surrounded at a | | little distance by an aura of luminescence. "If wearing clothes, they | | were very tight-fitting," reported Father Gill. One of the beings | | waved back in an apparent response to hand waves from the witnesses. | | The UFO also wobbled in response to flashlight signals. Thirty | | minutes later an oval-shaped craft with portholes was seen | | maneuvering over Giwa, Papua New Guinea. The UFO made a series of | | moves and stops, and made a "whoomp whoomp" noise. (Source: Charles | | Bowen, UFOs in the Two Worlds, FSR Special Edition No. 4, pp. 35 & | | 21). | | | | 1959 - Earlier that same day Mr. Taylor, a 22-year-old man living in | | Whitefield, Greater Manchester, England observed two tall men walking | | down Alexander Avenue. They were dressed like motorcyclists, stood | | over six-feet tall, wore tight fitting trousers and heavy boots, and | | had long blond hair. They turned a corner and when Taylor quickly | | followed, the men had already vanished into thin air.

It was extending huge hands in | | her direction. The air in the room remained cold throughout the | | entire episode. (Source: Flying Saucers, January 1966, p. 58). | | | | 1963 - Two UFO reports occurred at close to the same time in | | Massachusetts on this night. At one o'clock in the morning in East | | Weymouth (Norfolk County) a married couple saw a thirty-foot diameter | | object shaped like two bowls rim-to-rim hovering over some power | | lines, approximately 300 feet away from them. The UFO made a buzzing | | or humming sound as they watched it hover there for three minutes. At | | about the same time three people in Rockland, Massachusetts in nearby | | Plymouth County saw and photographed a disc-shaped object zigzagging | | away toward the northwest, or in the direction of Norfolk County. The | | time-lapsed photo shows a light making ninety-degree turns, and was | | published in the local newspaper. (Sources: Walter N. Webb | | investigation files & Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs Interplanetary | | Visitors, p. 329; APRO Bulletin, November 1963, p. 4). | | | | East Weymouth, Massachusetts Close Encounter - 1963 | | | | [image] | | | | 1968 - Multiple reports of close encounters involving three strangely | | dressed humanoids came from towns located on the Atacama Salt Beds in | | Antofagasta Province in northern Chile. Residents of the towns of | | Reine, Socaine, Toconas and Chiloporo saw the same UFO manned by | | these three beings. The UFO was reported to have landed and on at | | least three occasions the humanoids entered the same house, taking | | small items with them. This behavior spread fear and panic among the | | local inhabitants. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-36/A0937, citing Lumieres | | dans la Nuit, April 1972, p. 5, citing UFO Chile). | | | | 1970 - At 1:00 a.m. in Sharon, Massachusetts a UFO landed remotely. A | | brilliant yellow aura surrounded the object as it descended slowly | | behind some trees during a rainstorm. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, | | case files report dated September 15, 1970). | | | | Sharon, Massachusetts Landing - 1970 | | | | [image] | | | | 1971 - At 3:00 a.m. Mrs. D. Hancock heard a loud whirring sound and | | looked out the window of her house in Tauranga, New Zealand on the | | Bay of Plenty. She saw a large bright white ball of light above her | | neighbor's house that lit up the entire area. She watched it for a | | while, but eventually went back to bed. (Source: Waikato (New | | Zealand) Times, June 28, 1971). | | | | 1971 - That same day a married couple from Birmingham, on holiday in | | Guernsey in the Channel Isles, England watched four spinning, silver | | daylight discs over the coastline. The discs hovered for more than a | | minute, climbed higher in the sky, changed formation, then shot off | | toward the north at high speed. (Source: Glasgow (Scotland) Herald, | | June 28, 1971). | | | | 1971 - That night at 11:00 p.m. in Chauchina, Spain a man and a woman | | watched a large luminous reddish-yellow light hover for fifteen just | | 2 meters over the ground in a nearby pasture.

They thought they saw a fire in the | | thick bush land. Thinking it might be poachers on his land, Mr. Smith | | went to the spot with his .303 rifle. Hovering partially behind some | | brush 200 yards away was a glowing egg-shaped UFO. He went and called | | the police, and at 9:00 a.m. Sergeant P. Kitching and Warrant Officer | | P. van Rensburg arrived at the site. The color of the object was a | | gun metal blue but after they watched it for a while it started to | | glow red all over. They were sure it was under some form of | | intelligent control because when the farm laborers shouted from the | | bush the object moved down out of sight of the witnesses. | | | | They decided to shoot at it with the rifle. Fifteen rounds were | | fired. They heard a thud from the seventh shot. The UFO changed color | | from a red glow to a green glow and then to yellow, and rocked from | | side to side. They watched it for another hour before the police had | | to leave the area. Mr. Smith stayed to see it leave a short while | | later. It turned on end and climbed rapidly into the sky, making a | | humming sound.

Volume 2: Catalogue of Cases, case 46). | | | | 1978 - A UFO landed for several minutes on the patio of a residence | | in Ayacucho, Argentina. Mr. and Mrs. Belloq--the couple who lived | | there--awoke to a humming noise, looked out and saw that only a few | | meters over the treetops was the flying disc. It had no lights and no | | windows, and ascended after hovering a few more minutes and flew off | | slowly in the direction of the city of Tandil. A Bigfoot sighting | | also occurred on this night in South Crossett, Arkansas. (Source: UFO | | Newsclipping Service, September 1978, p. 13; George Eberhart, A | | Geo-Bibliography of Anomalies, p. 380, citing the Crossett (Arkansas) | | News-Observer, June 29, 1978). | | | | 1979 - A dog started barking at 3 a.m. when a six-foot diameter | | balloon-shaped object glowed and hovered over the yard of a home in | | Wheeling, Illinois.

(Source: International UFO Reporter, November 1986, p. 14). | | | | 1990 - In Tapah, Malaysia on this day a witness encountered a tiny, | | 6-inch tall being with shiny red eyes. Later that night at 11 p.m. | | local time an orange ovoid object hovered over the roadside of | | highway D11 west of Montady, France. It had a halo that glowed. The | | UFO shot off toward the west-northwest, darkening three times as it | | flew.

(Source: Lumieres dans la | | Nuit, issue no. 329). | | | | 1997 - In Dunkinsville, Ohio a woman was watching television when she | | heard her dogs barking outside at one o'clock in the morning. That | | drew her attention outside, and when she turned the porch light on, | | she saw a strange creature alongside the pond in her front yard only | | 30 feet away. It was hairy and gray, stood about three or four feet | | tall, and had large dark eyes. It made gurgling sounds, and walked on | | its knuckles. Her dogs gave chase and it ran away, but she called her | | dogs back. The creature was last seen moving along a barbwire fence. | | Shortly later she heard a screeching sound coming from that | | direction. (Source: Albert S.
