It was shaped like a fish | | and seemed to be guided by a large fanlike device. There were eight | | to ten figures aboard. Their language was not understood. The object | | flew low over Galisteo Junction and rose rapidly toward the east. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | p. 180, citing Flying Saucer Review, May 1961; Santa Fe New Mexican, | | March 27, 1880). | | | | 1897 - On or about this date Robert Hibbard in Sioux City, Iowa was | | caught by an anchor dropped from an unknown flying machine 22 km | | north of the town.

(Source: Jan Aldrich, Project | | 1947, citing the 549th NFS History). | | | | 1945 - In the Ruhr Valley, Germany a pink sphere (3' in diameter) | | passed a RAF Spitfire XI fighter from the 541th Squadron at 340 mph | | at 11:00 a.m. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, | | p. 7, citing Jan Aldrich, Project 1947). | | | | 1950 - Several discs were seen from a Lebanese airliner off the coast | | of the ancient city of Acre (now Akko), Israel. They were travelling | | north and flying at a high altitude while emitting trails of smoke. | | At 11:15 a.m. five disc-shaped UFOs were seen, first three, then | | another two, flying over Bruswick, Georgia. They were silver in | | color, and flew at 30,000 feet altitude at a speed greater than 1,800 | | mph. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 12). | | | | 1966 - Jean Voilquin, age 54, saw a strange looking "wheel" roll 15 | | meters away from him in Attigneville, France. It moved at a speed of | | about 30 kilometers per hour. It was about 80 centimeters in | | diameter, 25 cm thick; it rolled away at 1:30 p.m. and then vanished. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | p. 182 case 737). | | | | 1966 - Engineers and technicians in Ann Arbor, Michigan watched a | | glowing red disc-shaped object maneuver around the sky, descend, and | | then fly parallel with the road for several minutes.

Cozens saw two | | white oval UFOs land in a field behind the police station in | | Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He walked up to them and touched one. When | | he touched the antenna he received a strong electric shock, and burns | | on the hand. Investigators rated his story as reliable. (Sources: | | Hamilton Spectator, April 4, 1966; Erich A. Aggen, Jr., Flying | | Saucers, October 1969, p. 5; T. Scott Crain, Flying Saucers, June | | 1971, p. 8). | | | | 1966 - Two women were driving back from Amarillo, Texas at just | | before midnight when they saw a UFO approaching them from the north. | | Their car engine died and the headlights failed. The object flew over | | the car and hovered 400 meters away. After 10 minutes the witnesses | | were able to start their car and leave. They reported the object had | | a waffle-like surface and glowed with an intense red light. (Source: | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 182 | | case 738). | | | | 1967 - The Bailey and Lore families had observed UFOs in the area of | | their homes in Minitare, Nebraska on several occasions. 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.

They saw a very bright | | object at ground level near three radio towers situated 3.5 | | kilometers south of Altona, Manitoba, illuminating the countryside | | with a pink glow. The object itself was dark with a luminous band | | around it, was motionless, and pulsated. It disappeared very | | suddenly. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of | | Landings, case 829, citing the Altona Echo, April 19, 1967). | | | | 1972 - A car engine stalled at 5:30 a.m. when three red UFOs came | | down in a field between Dargies and Grandvilliers, Oise, France. It | | vanished when the car's headlights lit upon it. (Source: Michel | | Figuet & Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet des | | Rencontres Rapprochees en France, p. 383). | | | | 1974 - A truck driver was driving in Valdehijaderos, Spain at 2:00 | | a.m. when he spotted a strange luminous object like a plate placed | | above another large, round object hovering motionless over the | | highway about 200 meters from the him. A similar object, also | | motionless, was seen 15-20 meters away. Two beings came out of the | | first vehicle, pointed to the observer's truck, then went inside | | again, and both vehicles flew away. At 11:30 p.m. the same witness | | witnessed "three silver ships parked on the highway with light | | similar to floodlight." The observer stopped the motor of his car and | | some figures approached him. He ran, frightened, and they followed | | him. They were about two meters tall (6.5 feet). The next day the | | Guardia Civil made an investigation. They found a hole in the ground, | | which the truck driver said he had not made. (Source: Richard H. | | Hall,  The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, p. 346). | | | | 1974 - At 8:00 a.m. a witness driving near Pouldergat, Finistere, | | France saw a hemispheric dome-shaped following the road. Next a long, | | half-cylinder shaped object was seen hovering over an intersection. | | At 9:00 p.m. another hemispheric dome-shaped object was sighted by | | three witnesses in Pleuville, Charente, France. It was luminous and | | had two rays of light coming from it. It flew at a low altitude of | | under 10 meters, and was estimated to be 4-5 meters in diameter. | | (Sources: (1) Jean-F. Boedec, Les OVNI en Bretagne: Anatomie d'un | | Phenomene, p. 77; (2) Lumieres dans la Nuit, June 1976, p. 20; Michel | | Figuet & Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet des | | Rencontres Rapprochees en France, p. 480). | | | | 1983 - On this evening two witnesses driving in Careme, Tarn-Garonne, | | France encountered sudden fog, and then a huge disc-shaped UFO. Their | | car turned unaccountably onto an unknown dirt road, and they had a | | possible missing time experience. The entire experience lasted 50 | | minutes. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 317). | | | | 1993 - A 20-year-old woman was standing on her back porch in Roslyn | | Estates, Nassau County, New York when a silent, multicolored domed | | disc "glided over the house" at an estimated 150 feet altitude. She | | first thought it was a low flying plane, but dismissed that idea | | because of the shape of the object. The dome on the disc was as tall | | as the width of the object. The object was covered in bright white | | flashing lights. Jets soon showed up, apparently to chase the object. | | (Source: Herbert S. Taylor, MUFON field investigations database, case | | 930402J; MUFON UFO Journal, February 1994). | | | | 1994 - Two silver disc-shaped objects danced around in the sky over | | Earl Shilton, Leicester, England at 4:00 p.m. They made a | | high-pitched whistling sound. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, | | August 1994). | | | | 2000 - Two witnesses observed a triangular object that crossed the | | sky over Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at steady pace and a high altitude | | at 10:45 p.m. Its shape was defined by a number of grayish-white, | | non-blinking lights. It flew to the northeast, and made no sound. | | According to one witness “the object had to be huge” since it was | | very high up, but could clearly be seen as it blocked out a portion | | of the clear sky as it moved. (Source: Stan Gordon, Pennsylvania | | Center for UFO Research, www.stangordonufo.com). | | | | 2001 - At 7:20 a.m. there was a UFO sighting of a flying disc in | | Cochabamba, Bolivia. The local TV stations had close up photos. At | | 7:30 a.m. a huge, brilliant metallic sphere or disc-shaped object | | paced a T-33 trainer with a military pilot at a distance while in | | flight over La Paz, Bolivia. (Sources: Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 18162, | | citing Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 61). | | | | 2001 - At 9:35 p.m. EDT a very large, multicolored triangular object | | with two very bright lights on the front and a reddish looking light | | on the bottom center was seen over Durham, North Carolina. An | | extremely large cigar-shaped craft with two flashing lights on each | | end, which the witness estimated to be at least 200 yards long, was | | sighted over Valentine, Nebraska at 9:00 p.m. CDT (Source: Peter | | Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, report uploaded | | April 1, 2001). | | | | 2002 - A pharmaceutical products salesman was returning along a | | desrted road around 3 p.m. in Cazalla de la Sierra, Spain when he | | noticed an object resembling a shiny pear ahead in the middle of the | | roadway. It was resting on three metallic legs. Somewhat perplexed, | | he continued to drive closer, and then notice two very tall humanoid | | beings standing in a nearby field. They were over two meters tall, | | and wore tight-fitting, white coveralls and helmets resembling those | | worn by the early astronauts. | | | | He parked his vehicle and approached the two strange figures on foot. | | One of the men walked away and entered the pear-shaped craft, while | | the other remained behind. Knowing that these men were "not from this | | Earth", he still asked the remaining humanoid if he needed any | | assistance. He felt when he approached the strange pair he had | | entered some kind of a trance, and he seemed to be floating over the | | road. The being replied and appeared to be genuinely pleased with his | | offer of assistance, but said that everything was in order. He said | | that the area was very beautiful and also added, "Humans don't know | | what they have. Where we come from we don't have such beautiful | | scenes; they disappeared a long time ago." | | | | The astounded witness next managed to ask the being where he came | | from. He was told that they hailed from another dimension, a concept | | that humans have not yet assimilated. The humanoid smiled when he | | answered the question. The being then bid goodbye and walked towards | | the nearby shiny pear-shaped object; he then disappeared inside of | | it. Then the craft emitted a loud whisting sound and disappeared at | | very high speed towards some nearby cliffs. The witness described the | | humanoids as about 2.5 meters in height, with wide chests and heavy | | set, thin legs, generally human features, but with somewhat "refined" | | or sharpened features. Their suits were very tight fitting, and made | | of an apparent synthetic material resembling plastic. They eyes were | | very light, almost white, and their speed was hesitant and accented. | | Also, their movements seemed kind of clumsy. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database Reports, citing J. M. Garcia and | | Francisco Padron, Spain). | | | | 2003 - A wobbling silver triangular craft was seen in Carlsbad, | | California at 2:00 p.m. for half a minute, with a bright light in | | broad daylight. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting | | Center, Seattle, March 2003 webpage archive). | | | | 2004 - An object like a "dinner plate" with a dome on the bottom was | | sighted in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada at 4:22 a.m. It flew | | slowly, and stopped at one point. The sighting lasted 15 minutes. At | | 7:50 p.m. two rapid moving almond-shaped discs initially flew in from | | the Gulf of Mexico heading east toward Brandenton, Florida and then | | turned sharply south. They moved very fast.
