The upper edge seemed jagged | | and had sparkling antenna-like protrusions at either end. The object | | was dazzling to look at and seemed to be vibrating slightly. As they | | pulled abreast of the power station the object's luminosity | | diminished and it flew away, rising gradually in a slight curve and | | disappeared.

They saw a small black object in the sky about one kilometer | | away. They first thought it might be a helicopter but it made no | | sound. When the object approached, they saw it was a humanoid figure | | in a standing position. It flew closer and the flying humanoid turned | | its body once in the direction of nearby Zappeio park and then once | | in the opposite direction, without changing speed or posture. It | | started coming down and seemed to land somewhere inside the forest on | | Ardittos hill. They thought that the flying creature was wearing | | something like an "astronaut suit" because from time to time the | | sunset light gleamed on it. After landing the figure went up the hill | | by making some small mechanical "hops," until it reached a point just | | below the crest. It did not bend its knees when it hopped nor did it | | move its arms. After ten minutes the creature transformed itself into | | a "bright spot" and then vanished. During the incident, there was a | | strong wind blowing but the movement of the creature's flight was | | steady. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1998, | | citing Thanassis Vembos). | | | | 2003 - At ten o'clock in the morning a dark grey disc-shaped object | | hung 100 feet over the water at the Wivenhoe Dam in Brisbane Valley, | | Queensland, Australia on a clear day.

Its polished silver surface reflected the | | sunlight. It was lost from sight when the craft passed into | | some cumulus clouds.Duration of the sighting was 15 to 20 seconds. | | (Source: Mike Vike, www.ufoinfo.com). | | | | 2007 - At 10:30 p.m. a round orange light descended from the sky over | | Saint-Anaclet, Quebec, Canada, then stopped.

It was only about fifteen to twenty feet from | | his vehicle as he drove by. The creature had no discernable head or | | facial figures. Looking back in his rearview mirrow the entity was no | | longer visible, and the entire sighting lasted only about five | | seconds. The witness became extremely upset, and he had uncontrolled | | watering of his eyes; he tried to call his wife on his cell phone, | | but it would not work, either from the programmed address book or | | with manual input calling. He kept getting "call failed", which had | | never happened before. The cell phone failed to connect all the way | | to the I-271 entrance ramp, a distance of 8-10 miles. The following | | day, on his way home from work, as he neared the Rte 8 overpass, this | | time driving over the bridge, his eyes began to tear up | | uncontrollably again until he got beyone the bridge, when his eyes | | began to clear up.  (Source: Albert S.
