One peeled off from the | | others, diving low over the roof of a woman's house, where it dropped | | a liquid substance "like silver rain." Chemical analysis revealed | | that the metallic material collected at the site was 90% tin with | | some other alloys. Jacques Vallee believes this case may provide | | clues to the propulsion system employed by the vehicles. (Source: | | Jacques Vallee, in Peter Sturrock, The UFO Enigma, p. 242). | | | | 1959 - A brilliant cone giving off flares descended into the ocean | | near La Orchila Island in the Dependencias Federales chain of islands | | belonging to Venezuela. The witnesses were three crewmen aboard the | | ship SS Dorthemaersk. After the object submerged the sea became | | brilliant with many bright colors and very turbulent at that spot. | | (Source: Jim & Coral Lorenzen, UFOs over the Americas, p. 50). | | | | 1961 - At 5:05 p.m. over Washington, D.C. three people witnessed a | | sharply defined diamond-shaped object that had a brownish-orange glow | | centered beneath it in a diamond shape, one-third the total size of | | the object. It pulsated rapidly and made no sound. The sighting | | lasted three minutes. A Project Blue Book unexplained case. (Sources: | | Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case # 7754; | | Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume I), p. 101; Lloyd Mallan, The | | Official Guide to UFOs, p. 28). | | | | Washington, DC - 1961 | | | | [image] | | | | 1965 - On this night Sr. Jaime, the police commissioner's son in | | Estacion Palavecino, Entre Rios province, Argentina was blinded for a | | while and unable to speak as result of the close encounter he had | | with a spherical UFO that changed colors in front of him. (Source: | | Oscar A. Uriondo, FSR Case Histories, December 1973, p. 18, citing La | | Razon, December 14, 1965). | | | | 1966 - At around one o'clock at night In a rural area of Rowley, | | Massachusetts an orange-red glowing oval object with a halo of light | | around its perimeter descended and approached two witnesses before | | silently going behind a road embankment. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, | | UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 343). | | | | Rowley, Massachusetts - 1966 | | | | [] | | | | 1966 - At 3:53 p.m. Mrs. Elsie Vargo and her daughter were out | | driving the delivery of newspapers in rural Strongsville, Ohio when | | they saw a low flying "batwing" shaped object cross the road at 100 | | feet altitude and about 100 feet away. It then turned toward them, | | terrifying the girl. It was about the size of an automobile and | | bright silver in color, with a bubble cupola or dome on top. It | | carried an antenna bearing a flashing red light. Inside the dome was | | a small human form dressed in black and wearing a helmet. Mrs Vargo | | did not see where the object went. It made no sound and there was no | | interference with the car's radio. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1966-74, citing | | Richard Straka & E. J. Neff, Cleveland Ufology Project). | | | | 1967 - At 2:00 a.m. near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the lights of a | | car dimmed and the motor sputtered. The driver pulled to the side of | | the road and opened the hood. He then noticed a dome-shaped object | | hovering 150 yards away. It was metallic, had lights around the edge, | | and was about 50 feet high. He felt the battery of the car — it was | | warm. He got back in and watched the object, which rocked back and | | forth 10-15 feet but stayed over the road. During the next hour the | | car body began to heat up and even his hair got hot. His flashlight | | also wouldn't work. Finally the object shot straight up and | | disappeared from view in two to three seconds. The headlights came | | back on, but the motor could only be started with difficulty. | | (Sources: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, | | p. 39, citing CUFOS; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A | | Thirty Year Report, p. 251). | | | | 1971 - A young man, T. McClintock, was walking home from a late | | evening piano lesson when he saw three red pulsating lights over the | | shore in Muchalls, Scotland. One of the lights seem to follow him. | | The light swooped very low, almost at ground level, and he then saw a | | figure dressed in a long robe in the middle of the road. It seemed to | | be glowing and blocking the road. When he stepped one yard towards | | the figure it suddenly vanished. He then ran the rest of the way | | home, frightened and totally confused.

Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1971, case # 338, citing | | SPI, May-June 1989). | | | | 1973 - At 7:30 p.m. a tall cone-shaped object with lights hovered at | | 30 meters altitude over a road in Haisnes-lez-la-Bassee, | | Pas-de-Calais, France. It shot away very fast toward the west, making | | no sound. (Source: Ted Phillips, Physical Traces Associated with UFO | | Sightings, case 728, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 136). | | | | 1973 - Three 16-year-old boys saw a silver disc hovering 20 feet over | | the Braden River in Florida. It extended a tube into water. They took | | two photographs of the UFO. The UFO then retracted its tube while | | making a clanking sound, buzzed their car, and changed colors from | | bluish-green to reddish-orange. Three odd rocks, about a half inch in | | diameter, of iron pyrite were found near the site. Later that night | | in Cabana Colony, Florida Mr. & Mrs. McGhee saw a flying object as | | big as a 4-5 houses, that dipped down behind a neighborhood gas | | station, changing colors from yellow to orange to red. It stayed | | around for awhile, according to the couple.

It then emitted three | | smaller objects that operated independently. One of these zigzagged, | | abruptly shot up to higher elevation, then descended again. The UFOs | | appeared to signal back and forth. Soil and grass samples collected | | from a circle of burnt grass found on the ground reveal the burn | | marks were caused by an electrical discharge. No electrical power | | lines are located near the paddock where the ground traces were | | discovered. The sighting lasted 30 minutes.

A calf had been killed and mutilated with | | surgical incisions. The right ear and tail had been removed. (Source: | | Richard Hall, Zetetic Scholar, 1980, p. 50, citing Blue Springs | | Examiner, December 21, 1977). | | | | 1978 - Shortly after two people saw a luminous mass descend close to | | the ground and then take off at high speed towards Puglia, Italy two | | soldiers on guard duty at the Brindisi Air Force Base saw a UFO with | | pulsating lights maneuver and hover near them. As the object was | | leaving a strange being shot up from the ground skywards, quickly | | disappearing from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1971, case # 2351, citing Edoardo Russo). | | | | 1978 - UFOs were seen for thirty minutes over several cities in Chaco | | province, Argentina on this evening. In Resistencia a newspaper | | photographer took a nighttime photograph of a UFO that changed color | | several times as it flew toward the south-southwest.

They were 200 meters away, and stood beside a | | highway. They had square objects like boxes and "thermos bottles" | | slung over shoulders. (Source: Shu Jia Lin, APRO Bulletin, January | | 1986, p. 1). | | | | 1995 - On this morning near the Urbanizacion Country Club, Rio | | Piedras, Puerto Rico Mrs. Carmen Vazquez, accompanied by her | | 5-year-old daughter, was on her way home when the little girl pointed | | out something in the sky. Looking up she saw a shiny metallic oval | | shaped craft flying slowly overhead and head off towards nearby El | | Yunque Mountain. According to the little girl, the object had | | numerous windows and inside she was able to see several gray-colored | | figures with huge black eyes looking down from the windows at their | | car.

Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1995, case | | # 2571, citing Jorge Martin, Evidencia OVNI, issue # 9). | | | | 1996 - At 1:00 p.m. a Colombian Air Force pilot videotaped six silver | | disc-shaped UFOs exiting from a cloud and moving toward Bogota, | | Colombia in two groups.

He stopped, and when he did the lights also stopped | | moveing. Each light was 10-20 meters across and round in shape. They | | followed him silently for eight kilometers, and when he arrived home | | he was quite scared. (Source: Sheryl Gottschall, UFO Research | | Queensland website, archived reports for 2000). | | | | 2000 - The witness awoke at 3:55 a.m. in Lake LaBerge, Yukon, Canada | | to find her bedroom lit up by a series of flashing lights outside her | | bedroom window, which were accompanied by musical tones.
