Flattened grass | | was found at the landing site. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September | | 1961; Coral E.

It was seen by two married | | women, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Davis, at 4:30 p.m. The object appeared to | | be revolving as it hovered. After 15 minutes it finally rose higher | | and higher into the air and disappeared. A Project Blue Book | | "unknown."

Lorenzen, Flying Saucer Occupants, p. 150). | | | | 1965 - A silent gray object that looked like a blimp or dirigible | | hovered low over the New England Power Plant in Salem, Massachusetts | | at 5:00 p.m. (Sources: Raymond E. Fowler, case file investigation, | | report dated July 13, 1965; Raymond E.

It flew less than 20 meters | | above his car at at estimated speed of 40 km/hour. (Source: Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 845). | | | | 1968 - Sr. T. Banescu of La Florida, Argentina was walking home early | | in the morning around 3:00 a.m. when he observed a luminous sphere | | coming down rapidly from the sky. It landed about 300 meters away. | | Shortly after that he heard footsteps behind him but noticed nothing | | strange about then. When he got to the house he encountered a | | creature no more than 39" tall, with big ears and luminous green in | | color. He had his arms crossed and was rocking his body slightly back | | and forth. Mr. Banescu became frightened and attempted desperately to | | unlock the door of his house to get away, and when he looked back | | again the little man had disappeared. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-27, citing | | Carlos Banchs). | | | | 1973 - Sr. Onilson Patero, a 40-year-old salesman, was driving home | | to Catanduva in Sao Paolo, Brazil during a rainstorm. He had given a | | lift to a young hitchhiker and had dropped him off at Itajobi. At | | around 3:00 a.m., about seven miles from Catanduva on Highway 321, | | his car began to lose power and his car's radio filled with static | | interference. He noticed a circle of light moving about inside his | | car and he pulled over to the side of the road, thinking a truck was | | about to pass. He then saw a hovering object about 50 feet ahead and | | 40 feet above the road, and at the same time the interior of his car | | began to heat up. Patero felt a lack of air so he opened the door and | | stepped out. A "curtain of light" began to form around the object, | | and the heat and lack of air diminished. He could now see that the | | object was not a helicopter. He next saw a "tube of light" hit the | | car and, as it did, the car became transparent. He fainted. About an | | hour later two young men found Sr. Patero laying in the mud and rain. | | He recovered consciousness, crying out "they were trying to get me!" | | He was taken to a hospital in Catanduva and later released. Over the | | next several days he suffered physical ailments of an unknown cause. | | Eleven months later Patero became the principal experiencer in an | | abduction event in which he vanished for five days, turning up again | | in Colatina 700 km away. Under regressive hypnosis he described one | | of his abductors as the same individual he had given a ride to in | | this case. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue | | of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-12, citing Dr. Walter Buhler, Dr. Max | | Berezovsky, APRO). | | 1973 - At eight a.m. Manuel Angle Gonzalez was driving a six-ton | | truck loaded with asbestos sheeting, cement, and steel, and he was in | | the vicinity of the town of Cintalapa in the State of Veracruz, | | Mexico when he noticed five little figures standing in the road ahead | | of him. They had their arms raised in the air, and they seemed to | | have appeared from nowhere. He slammed on the truck's brakes and came | | to a stop only a short distance away from them. At first he thought | | they might be children, but close up he could see that they were | | perfectly proportioned adults but only two feet tall. They had light | | brown skin and black hair, but he couldn't recall any details about | | what clothing they were wearing. As he got out of his truck the | | little figures began to scatter to the sides of the road, | | disappearing into the underbrush along the highway. When he turned to | | go back to his truck he saw it suddenly engulfed in blue flame, and | | in a matter of 30 minutes the truck and its normally non-flammable | | contents were reduced to ashes and fused metal. Two other motorists | | stopped to witness the conflagration. According to the witness, two | | days after the fire metal fragments that had been collected from the | | site spontaneously burst into blue flames and were likewise reduced | | to ashes. The witness compared the appearance of the little beings to | | stories of little people from Mexican folklore, called the Chaneques. | | Investigators later learned that two more trucks were similarly | | destroyed and that in one case, UFOs were seen. (Source: David F. | | Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1973-13, citing Ramon A Pantoja and Robert Freeman Bound, Fate). | | | | 1996 - Ipswich, Queensland, Australia - At 2:00 a.m. a woman was | | walking her dog when she noticed two short glowing beings with no | | apparent clothing, and dark eyes. The beings seemed to reassure her | | mentally, then faded from view. Possible missing time involved. | | (Source: Albert S.
