Morgan was flying at 5000 feet | | over Rochford, Essex, England on this evening on the lookout for | | Zeppelins. At 8:25 p.m. he saw an object with a row of lights like | | the windows on a railway carriage with the blinds drawn. He tried to | | close but his airplane's engine started malfunctioning. When he fired | | a pistol at the lights they rose rapidly into the heavens and | | disappeared out of sight. (Sources: Richard H.

Morris, p. 81; Dominique | | Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 6;  Ron Halliday, UFO | | Scotland: The Secret History of Scotland's UFO Phenomenon, p. 89). | | | | 1960 -  Six in a boat on the ocean on the coast of Lae, Papua New | | Guinea saw a 14 meter diameter umbrella-shaped craft swaying back and | | forth in the sky in overcast skies at around five o'clock in the | | morning. It had four windows on the underside. It shot up vertically. | | (Sources: Flying Saucers, May 1962, p. 36; APRO Bulletin, May 1961). | | | | 1963 - An object was reported to have landed in Ganada de Algosaray, | | Argentina. The Lopez brothers found traces in the grass and evidence | | of intense heat. There was a police investigation, during which a | | whitish powder was found at the landing site. (Source: Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 561, citing | | Flying Saucer Review, January-February 1966) | | | | 1965 - At 6:15 p.m. three men sighted two discs hovering over some | | high-tension power lines between Kent and Renton, Washington. The | | UFOs appeared to be connected to each other. (Sources: Coral E. | | Lorenzen, Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion from | | Outer Space, p. 248; J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, p. 248; APRO | | Bulletin, May-June 1965). | | | | 1965 - On the same night a group of people in Torrent, Argentina in | | the province of Corrientes saw a craft land and five tall, "Cyclops" | | beings (i.e. creatures with only one eye in the middle of their | | foreheads) emerge. The creatures entered a house and reportedly | | attempted to abduct a local man, but were driven off. (Sources: | | Phenomenes Spatiaux, June 1965, David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0621; Thomas E. Bullard, UFO | | Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case 263). | | | | 1969 - At around 8:00 p.m. a small “space ship” approached General | | Moacyr Uchoa and his investigating team on Wilson P. 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.

Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-07 | | (A1022), citing SBEDV and General Moacyr Alfredo Uchoa). | | | | 1974 -  A V-Shaped light appeared over a car northeast of Tarbes on | | highway N21, France around two o'clock in the morning in the | | Pyrenees. The four witnesses felt heat and electricity, and later had | | headaches. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database case 11084; | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 133). | | | | 1978 -  John C., age 10, and his friends Eddy and Michael H. (8 and | | 10 years old) were playing on the ice in the playing field of the | | Montvale Memorial Elementary School in Montvale, New Jersey at 6:15 | | p.m. It was dark, and the school's floodlights illuminated the field. | | The boys then noticed a "plane" like object that passed slowly over | | the field. Moments later a second object arrived, which was described | | as shaped like a square with large yellow lights in each corner, with | | a slight dome on top and a red light underneath. The object emitted a | | red beam of light towards the ground, but stopped short before | | touching it. They next noticed several humanoid figures moving around | | the school park, walking stiffly. These figures were of average | | height and bald headed, and dressed in bright yellow outfits with | | boots and gloves. One of the beings looked different, because he had | | a larger head which seemed "creased" down the middle and had on a | | brown cape over the yellow suit. As the boys watched the figures, | | they noted an uncanny silence and an unpleasant sulphur like odor in | | the area. The figures walked away towards the nearby Public Works | | Garage. The boys then noticed another figure, this one a woman | | standing in the parking lot. She had medium long brown hair and wore | | a dark suit with blue fur around her shoulders and when she walked, | | she did as if in slow motion. She sat down on a low fence then raised | | her arm very slowly and pointed to the sky, apparently at another | | hovering square shaped object. The woman then also walked towards the | | Public Works building and at one point seemed to appear and disappear | | as a police vehicle drove by near her. (Source: International UFO | | Reporter, March 1978, p. 36 & April 1978, p. 3). | | | | Montvale, New Jersey CE-III - 1978 | | | | [] | | | | 1988 -  A woman had a close encounter with a silent charcoal black | | triangular object while driving in the suburban town of Eureka, | | Pennsylvania at 6:50 p.m. The object passed only 30 feet above her | | car. It had three bright white headlights on the side facing her when | | sighted, six small white lights underneath in two clusters of three, | | and a red light on the bottom forward. The edges of the object sloped | | out underneath. (Source: Stan Gordon, MUFON Field Investigations | | Database, case # 880940). | | | | 1990 - A huge manta ray shaped object, described as bigger than a 747 | | without the fuselage, was seen by many witnesses in Piketown, Dauphin | | County, Pennsylvania at 6:30 p.m. It was estimated to be flying at | | 10,000 feet altitude and had blinking lights. (Source: Timothy Good, | | The UFO Report 1991, p. 238). | | | | 1993 -  A farmer in Dodge County east of Columbus, Wisconsin had a | | close encounter with a large flat disc-shaped object with a dome on | | top at 8:10 p.m. It illuminated the farm with light beams that faded | | and intensified. Sheriff deputies then chased the UFO for 20 miles. | | (Source: UFO Newspaper Clipping Service, February 1993). | | | | 1996 - Near Romatambo, a remote mountain village in Ancash province, | | Peru at eight o'clock in the morning, several Quechua Indian | | shepherds tending their flocks watched six objects fly over the area. | | According to one of the witnesses, Silvia Bedoya, age 40, the objects | | apparently emerged from nearby Lake Cococha. The objects formed what | | seemed like a protective circle around a larger cigar-shaped, | | mother-ship style object. The flight of the objects illuminated the | | whole valley in an eerie deep purple light. The "mother ship" landed | | upriver from the village. Soon two occupants emerged from the object. | | These were described as about a meter tall with large oversized | | heads, long spindly arms and short bandy legs. They wore gunmetal | | gray helmets and matching one-piece coveralls. The humanoids took out | | transparent containers and, ignoring the shepherds, collected many | | samples, including soil, grass, alpine weeds, and water from the | | nearby river. Soon the UFOnauts re-entered the large object and all | | the objects shot away into space at high speed.

Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1996, case # | | 2472). | | | | 2002 -  A senior INS Border Patrol officer and his dog witnessed a | | disc-shaped object very quickly pass over their patrol vehicle at | | 5:30 a.m. in the desert near Jacumba, San Diego County, California. A | | warbling sound emanated from the object, which the dog reacted to.  | | Seconds later, a dozen more discs are witnessed flying to the east | | with a delta-shaped object in their midst, then fly off to the west. | | (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle; | | Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 18183, citing Filer's Files, | | Volume 2, Number 7). | | | | 2003 - At 10:30 p.m. a large white object like two saucers rim to rim | | flew slowly at a low level over a farm field and farmhouses in | | Villeneuve, Alberta, Canada. There were two witnesses and the | | sighting lasted almost two minutes. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer | | database, case 18191; Geoff Dittman, 2003 Canadian UFO Survey, case | | 40, citing Alberta UFO Study Group). | | | | 2005 - At ten o'clock at night a triangular object hovered over a | | frozen pond in Columbia City, Indiana for three minutes and melted | | the ice. On the same night in Wood River, Nebraska a bright | | oval-shaped object allegedly picked up a cow. (Source: Peter | | Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, January 2005 | | webpage, reports uploaded Feb. 8, 2005). | | | | 2007 - At 7:00 p.m. a green hamburger-shaped UFO with porthole | | hovered 500 feet in the air over Hibbard, Quebec, Canada, making no | | noise.
