It had body lights | | and light beams. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # | | 208, citing Brad Steiger). | | | | 1947 - At 9:00 p.m. a globe of purplish light was seen in Timmins, | | Ontario, causing a car to stall. (Sources: Jan Aldrich, Project 1947: | | A Preliminary Report on the 1947 UFO Sighting Wave, p. 116; Michael | | Persinger, Space-Time Transients and Unusual Events, p. 59). | | | | 1953 - Claude Pasquier saw two discs flying very low and quite slowly | | along a straight course in Tours, France at 8:30 p.m. They made a | | "hard" sound as they flew. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, | | p. 65; Melbourne Age, July 10, 1963; Passport to Magonia: A Century | | of Landings, p. 203). | | | | 1955 - Mr. Ernest Suddard, age 35, and his 13-year-old son were | | driving in a truck in Bradford, England at 4:00 in the morning when | | they saw what seemed to be a short human being about 1.20 meters (4 | | feet) tall, dressed in skin-tight black clothes. It held its arms | | close to its sides, its feet close together, and walked by a series | | of jumps. On its chest was a silver disc perforated with holes. It | | turned off suddenly into a passageway and was lost from view. The | | witnesses were too amazed to follow. (Sources: Jack Ibson, Flying | | Saucer Review, September 1955, p. 4; Arthur Constance, The | | Inexplicable Sky, p. 222; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, pp. 250-251; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0378). | | | | 1958 - A dozen people were out on Leman Lake in Switzerland in | | perfect weather at five o'clock in the afternoon when they saw a | | bright light coming down toward the lake. They stopped their boat as | | it came to hover about 15 meters above them. It was saucer-shaped, 10 | | meters in diameter, and had a cabin with several windows showing on | | top. The outer disc below the cabin was spinning. As it came down | | toward the water, a noticeable current was created on the surface. No | | noise or occupants were noticed. After several leaps in mid-air, the | | craft flew off at "unbelievable" speed. (Source: Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 469, citing Aime | | Michel). | | | | 1960 - Eight geophysicists working in the Kazakstan Mountains near | | the Barakhudzir River, 18 kilometers north of Koktal, Kazakstan, | | U.S.S.R. saw a bright orange lens-shaped UFO at 11:00 p.m. The | | strange luminous body suddenly appeared over the mountainns on the | | east slope of the valley, moved north to south while keeping | | a constant speed and altitude. It went behind the mountain top, then | | re-appeared, flying off to the southeast.

(Sources: Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 170; Paris | | Flammonde, UFO Exist!, p. 366). | | | | 1961 - In Admiralty Bay, Antarctica four members of the crew of an | | icebreaker sighted an oval fireball that flew from the northeast to | | the southwest for 12 seconds at 6:15 p.m. The object split in two. | | (Sources: Phenomenes Spatiaux, June 1968, p.17; UNICAT, case # 142, | | citing James E. McDonald). | | | | 1965 - At midnight in Brough, Durham County, England three women | | reported that their sheep and cattle were agitated and noisy when a | | dark shape with two orange lights appeared in the sky. The close | | encounter lasted 75 minutes. (Source: Gordon Creighton, FSR, | | November-December 1970, p. 28). | | | | 1965 - A woman was driving home at 11:00 p.m. and was within a mile | | of her house in Sedalia, Missouri when she saw a light in a field | | with “smoke” around it. In a nearby ditch she noticed two large | | “birds,” one of which flew at her car. She arrived home at 12:25 a.m. | | unable to account for the lapse of time. Under hypnotic regression | | she recalled that the “birds” in the ditch where in fact two entities | | wearing spacesuits. One carried a sack on its back, into which the | | other was putting clumps of grass and soil samples. They were | | “bouncing up & down, their arms flopping at their sides” in a “stiff” | | manner suggestive of robots. One started to come out of the ditch, | | slipped back, then emerged and stood in front of her; its helmet | | beginning to glow brilliantly. She could now see that its head was | | wrapped up in tape like a mummy, with only the eyes visible. It stood | | slightly over five feet tall. At this point a football-shaped | | UFO landed on the road ahead of her car. Two beings with slightly | | pointed heads & “wrap around” eyes emerged from the object and opened | | her car door. They conducted her inside the craft, assuring her | | telepathically that she would not be hurt. The air inside the UFO was | | “heavy” and difficult to breathe. Once she was inside they flew the | | ship over a nearby field, which caused its interior lights to change | | from white to red. One of the entities, who did most of the | | communicating, appeared to be a scientist or doctor, and he wore an | | insignia of three rings on his chest. Another had a red lighting | | flash symbol on his uniform, and she took him to be the pilot. A | | third entity appeared to be a woman. All three stood 5’10” tall. The | | “doctor” put an object of some kind over her head, and she felt as if | | something were going into her brain. A round black object was then | | taken out of the wall, and with it “pictures” were taken of her; the | | object glowed blue when the pictures were taken. On a screen on the | | wall appeared a pattern: seven vertical lines with markings between | | them, which she thought must be some type of tabular representation | | of her brain and body. Two more figures, about a foot shorter than | | the other three, made their appearance. These beings resembled | | “gnomes,” and they aroused fear in the woman. They appeared old | | because their foreheads were wrinkled. She was told by the "doctor" | | that they and the “mummies” came from different planets. Finally she | | was led back to her car; the UFO ascended, and then vanished while | | still at low altitude.  (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1965-78, citing Ron | | Owen & Jerome Clark). | | | | 1967 - Pedro Jose Ramirez in Caracas, Venezuela reported seeing a | | four-foot-tall being with an oversized head and large eyes, abnormal | | teeth and mouth, and five fingers on his hands. The being was agile, | | lightweight, hoarse-voiced, and wore a shiny suit. He spoke Spanish. | | The entity told Ramirez that the Earth "was cracking and they wished | | to save it." (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue | | of Humanoid Reports, case # 1967-77 (A0851), citing Scheffer Vladimir | | Scheffer, letter to NICAP dated August 22, 1967). | | | | 1967 - On the same day, in Antimano, Federal District, Venezuela | | 10-year-old Jose Gregorio Bouaci was in his bedroom in the early | | afternoon when he encountered a "little man" who tried to talk to | | him. The being was short, white skinned, and had an over-sized head, | | with no arms. The boy left his room screaming, saying that he had | | seen a Martian. He was so frightened he threw up. (Source: David F. | | Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # | | 1967-78 (A0852), citing Richard Heiden). | | | | 1968 - At six o'clock in the morning a chicken farmer named Mateu saw | | a light hovering three feet above the ground in Sierra De Almos | | Tivissa, Terragona, Spain and he walked towards it. It was a very | | luminous hemispherical object. On the far side of it he saw about 100 | | yards away and hurrying toward it, two creatures resembling octopus, | | about 3 feet high, with "4 or 5 legs," very light in color with a | | "thoroughly disgusting" appearance. The UFO left a large area of | | burnt grass, and "watches stopped 3 times at the site." (Sources: | | Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in | | Spain and Portugal, case 64; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-57, citing Julio Roca | | Muntanola, FSR Special Bulletin # 4). | | | | 1968 - For a three hour period beginning at around 11:00 p.m., | | numerous witnesses in Hamilton, Ohio watched as a domed disc-shaped | | object moved over a dam, stopped, flipped over, then emitted five | | light beams downward, focusing into a single beam that swept the area | | and reflected over Greenbriar Lake. The object reversed course, and | | finally flew away toward the south. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, | | October 1968, p. 3, Gordon Lore, UFOs: A New Look, p. 43; Richard H. | | Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, p. 380; | | Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, p. 35).  | | | | Hamilton, Ohio - 1968 | | | | [Sketch of Hamilton, Ohio domed disc with light beams - 1968] | | | | 1970 - At 12:30 a.m. the Hidalgo family of four, driving in a car | | between Aznalcazar and Pila, Sevilla province, Spain encountered a | | white foggy object hovering two meters over a field by the side of | | the road. The object flew away as they approached, and their car | | headlights became dim as it did so. The object repeated this retreat | | a few more times as the car kept approaching, then it rose into | | the sky and flew away. (Sources: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, | | Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case 133; | | Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 49). | | | | 1970 - Thirty minutes later, a 22-year-old woman in Puente De | | Herrera, Valladolid province, Spain heard a loud whistling sound | | accompanied by TV interference at one o'clock in the morning. Opening | | the door to her house she saw a silvery Saturn-shaped object standing | | on legs. On top was a transparent cupola bearing a bluish-white | | rotating light; and around its perimeter were other multi-colored | | lights. A few feet away stood a tall man dressed in a dark blue or | | black tight-fitting uniform. It had a close fitting hood of the same | | color with shining white wrist bands, anklets, and a buckle. The man | | was examining a nearby field of alfalfa. He then turned and took long | | strides toward the UFO, which was approximately 30 meters from the | | witness. She closed her door, frightened about being discovered, but | | heard the intense whistling sound again as the object took off. | | Footprints were found in the area, and for several nights the site | | where the UFO had landed glowed at night. (Sources: J. Macias, FSR | | Case Histories, February 1974, p. 1; David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, citing Enrique Bueno, | | Santiango Mella, & J.

The car engine and lights both | | failed. The car operated normally again after the object flew away. | | (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, | | p. 49). | | | | 1971 - Jan-Ove Sundberg was in the woods above Foyers Bay on Loch | | Ness, Scotland at around nine a.m. when he saw a grayish-black | | cigar-shaped object in a clearing in the woods. It was about 30 feet | | long with a curved standing portion at one end, so that it had the | | profile of a huge smoothing iron. Three grayish entities of normal | | human size then appeared out of some nearby bushes and stood | | together. They were dressed in what looked like diver's suits and | | helmets. They approached the object and entered it by a door in the | | upper part of the curved portion, the UFO then rose vertically to a | | height of 50 feet and then took off rapidly in a near-horizontal | | trajectory. Sundberg took a photograph as the last of the occupants | | was boarding. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, 1971-21, citing F. W. Holiday, FSR, | | Vol. 19 # 5). | | | | 1971 - At nearly the same time as the Loch Ness CE-3 encounter, three | | adults and four children were in an isolated area on a Mediterranean | | beach in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain when they suddenly noticed a | | very tall figure that seemed to be trying to enter the water in a | | very clumsy manner. It was a very tall, well-built, and human like, | | but with very pale skin that seemed to lack any pores. It had a large | | hairless head with a high forehead and large gray colored eyes. It | | wore a pair of green shorts and it walked towards the shore very | | stiffly, almost like a robot. It walked past the witnesses | | maintaining a straight steady gaze on them. The witnesses turned | | their heads for a second and when they looked back the being had | | completely vanished. There was nowhere he could have gone and he was | | nowhere in sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database, case # 643, citing J. J. Benitez, La Quinta Columna). | | | | 1971 - At 6:45 p.m. John R. Renz had just been relieved from guard | | duty at Francis E. Warren Air Force base near Cheyenne, Wyoming and | | had stopped at the mess hall for a beer. On his way back to the | | barracks he came upon an unlit area of the base at the concrete | | reinforced bridge, which crossed over Cow Creek. For some reason | | everything was unnaturally quiet around him. As he began to cross the | | bridge and just before he got to the middle of it, a paralyzing sound | | resembling loud heart beats became evident. Simultaneously the area | | around the bridge lit up like midday. There was also a heavy | | breathing sound present, and the bridge began to sway in a wave-like | | motion and then settled down. Frightened, he began to run toward the | | other end of the bridge, but before he reached it he realized that he | | had dropped his tobacco pipe and went back to retrieve it. The bridge | | was still lit up and the loud sounds persisted. He found his pipe and | | stooped down to get it. When he looked up he was stunned to see a six | | to seven foot tall being standing there, only three feet away from | | him. The being had a medium build as far as the torso, but its head | | was much larger than normal and it had long arms. It appeared to be | | wearing a wet suit. The hood and body suit were one unit. The eyes | | were covered with a one-piece face mask that went across both eyes, | | as if it was some kind of blast shield, but the nasal area joined in | | with it. From the nose there was a silver gray tube that stretched at | | least a half a foot long and went straight into the chest area. The | | silver gray tube was ribbed and looked like a tracheal tube. The | | hands consisted of three long fingers that ended in claws. The feet | | were three toed and did not appear to have any heels. When Renz | | looked up to the being's face, he was almost in a full standing | | position. The being raised its right, three-fingered hand and | | motioned for him to come closer. Instead, Renz turned and ran. His | | next recollection was of coming up on a military jeep and being | | picked up by two soldiers, still on the base. There was a seven-hour | | period of missing time. | | | | Years later, under hypnosis, Renz remembered being inside some kind | | of object in a cockpit along with the being. The being spoke to him | | telepathically. He remembered descending through clouds of vapor that | | had a reddish brown tinge. The craft then flew in between two huge | | mountains: there was no vegetation anywhere and it looked like a | | rocky desert. He next remembered following the being through a huge | | door into the side of a mountain tunnel and entering a small room. In | | this room there was a table that floated in mid-air. The walls and | | floor of the room were a silver-gray color. On the floating table | | there was the carcass of a creature. The creature on the table had a | | larger than normal head and a face resembling that of a wasp. The | | eyes were large, like wasp eyes, and had slits inside that looked | | like pupils. It had what looked like multi-lens eye coverings, and it | | had a small jaw and a slit-like nose. The creature was about four to | | five feet in length and looked to have an exoskeleton. Its color was | | tan to brown with a bluish gray tinge. The humanoid creature gave off | | an unbearably foul odor, resembling a rotten egg sulphur smell. It | | had three fingers on its hands and at the elbows there was a sharp | | concave shaped spike at least six inches long. The mouth was gaped | | open and the teeth were like small shark teeth. A clear liquid with a | | reddish substance was dripped on the table. | | | | The tall being then told the witness to leave the room. Outside the | | room he saw a saucer-shaped craft with a wide front end and a round | | tapered tail. The whole craft sat on two pillars, rectangular in | | shape with at least 50 feet between them. The being told him to go | | inside and sit in the left seat. On what appeared to be a control | | panel Renz saw numerous strange symbols. There was a sound like a | | powerful electric motor and the craft took off. Later he recalled the | | craft attacking a large mountainous area resembling a beehive. He | | could see numerous creatures inside. They appeared to be scrambling | | back and forth. There were a couple of hundred of them and they | | appeared to be the same as the insectoid humanoid that was on the | | floating table. The craft landed in the destroyed complex where he | | remembered seeing a live creature with the face of a wasp that was | | wearing a dark cape or cloak. Within its cloak it was carrying three | | small insect creatures at least a foot long. Their heads were | | triangular in shape with large eyes. The tall humanoid shot and | | killed the creature and the little ones. Renz was then taken back to | | the Air Force base. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1971, citing Aliens-UFOs.com). | | | | 1972 - On a highway west of Arroyito, Cordoba province, Argentina, an | | odd light appeared above a car containing two college | | professors, Professors Brunelli and Porchietto, at 2:40 a.m. Their | | car was then levitated, and this was followed by 40 minutes of | | missing time, with 80 kilometers of their trip not accounted for. | | (Source: Oscar A. Galindez, Phenomenes Spatiaux, March 1973, p. 23). | | | | 1972 - On this evening in Roosboom, Natal, South Africa Elias Khosa | | saw a "monster" when he was walking home. The creature had a | | square-shaped head, "like a machine", luminous buttons, and fiery | | eyes. "The specter faced him, but he could not see its head, although | | he noticed small flames burning around its feet." The witness invited | | the "visitor" home for a drink, but it turned and sped off into the | | veldt at high speed, "emitting flames and smoke." He later had | | headaches and pains in his legs. (Sources:Natal Mercury, August 23, | | 1972; Philipp J. Human, FSR, November 1972, p. 18; David F. Webb and | | Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, 1972-18 (A1161); | | J. Bernard Delair, UFO Register, volume 9 (1978)). | | | | 1973 - At four a.m. young Cinzia Giomi and 10 other people were | | returning from a show onboard a small passenger bus, when between | | Casalincontrada and Chieti, Italy they saw a bizarre figure almost | | six meters tall, leaning against a light pole. The being was human | | looking but very tall and thin. It wore a shiny white smock-like | | outfit and wore tall white boots. It had long white hair and a dark | | complexion. The witnesses were able to see the figure close up, at a | | distance of only two meters. The bus stopped in order for the | | witnesses to get a better look, but the figure quickly faded away, | | leaving behind a strong sulfur like odor and a consistent | | whistle-like sound. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1973, citing Fabio Picasso & Moreno Tambellini). | | | | 1973 - At 10:15 p.m. an abduction experience with missing time | | occurred in the city of Smalandsstenar, Jonkoping, Sweden to a man | | named Karlsson. (Source: UFO Information Sweden, November 1973, | | p. 20). | | | | 1974 - At 3:40 a.m. several observers saw a huge hovering | | cigar-shaped craft over Malesherbes, France. Next, two small domed | | disc-shaped objects were seen descending towards the ground. A short | | time later the witnesses reported seeing strange figures and hearing | | loud noises in the area near their location. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1974, case # 2413, citing | | Michel Figeut & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet | | des Rencontres Rapprochees en France). | | | | 1974 - Shortly after 7:30 p.m. three boys, ages 9 and 10, in Port | | Coquitlam, British Columbia saw a buzzing, multi-colored disc-shaped | | object land. It approached very suddenly from the sky and made an | | undulating motion as it came in to land. It landed with a blast of | | hot air, and gave off blue sparks during the process. An animal | | reaction was noted: their cat was frightened and ran away. The UFO | | had the outline of a door, and stood on three legs; it had a square | | at the top, and was 20 feet wide. Circular patches were found on the | | ground at the landing site. The entire close encounter lasted ten | | minutes.

The objects hovered, then flew off to the | | south. There were at least seven witnesses, including police. | | (Sources: Awareness, January 1976, p. 23; UNICAT, case # 93). | | | | 1975 - At 4:30 a.m. Mr. & Mrs. Paquet were walking on the outskirts | | of their village of Forrieres, Luxembourg Province, Belgium on their | | way to work when they noticed ahead of them on the road a dark 1.20 | | meter tall human-like figure with a well-proportioned body. It | | suddenly vanished in plain sight when the man, thinking it might be | | his son, attempted to approach it. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, Case # A1623; | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 152 (December 1975)). | | | | 1976 - At around four o'clock in the morning Dean Anderson and Wayne | | Schutte were working on golf course maintenance when they both | | noticed an orange “craft” as it dropped down into a culvert on the | | golf course at Peninsula State Park in Egg Harbor, Door County, | | Wisconsin. Anderson, who was riding a lawn mower, saw by its powerful | | headlights a figure first standing, and then running on the golf | | course, so he pursued him on his riding mower. He saw that the man’s | | helmet lit up and his belt first start glowing reddish, but | | then glowed green, yellow, pink, and orange, while the antenna on his | | helmet flashed bright red. Anderson had now closed to within ten feet | | of him, and could see that he was about seven feet tall and had a | | long nose. Suddenly, an energy beam shot down in front of the mower, | | causing it to stop, and the figure next turned around and looked at | | Anderson. Within a few seconds a small “scout ship” descended and | | opened a 3 foot by 3 foot door, which had flashing panels of light | | inside. The tall figure floated up into this doorway, and “the craft | | glowed bright blue, red, and orange and then took off.” The | | footprints of the man were measured to be 20 inches long, 8 inches | | wide, and five feet apart where he had been running. (Sources: Keta | | Steebs, Sturgeon Bay Advocate, March 31, 1977; David F.

They wore purple-colored, | | luminous, one-piece suits and their waists were only 20-22 inches | | above the ground. When the boys followed them a bright white, | | lemon-shaped UFO blinked on and took off into the air, only 15 feet | | away from the boys. (Source: UFOCAT, James P. Barrett case | | investigation files). | | | | 1977 - At 12:30 a.m. in Fage, Lot department, France a one-meter | | tall, upright metallic ovoid object closely pursued a teenage | | driver at a very low altitude as he drove along a winding mountain | | road.

(Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, December | | 1979, p. 4) | | | | 1980 - Frank Scott and another soldier were ordered to go by jeep, to | | a location outside of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia where a UFO had | | recently been seen. They arrived there at around two o'clock in the | | afternoon, and observed a long cylindrical craft hovering close to | | the ground. The object was at least 170 meters long, and broad as | | well, and it emitted a buzzing sound that made the air vibrate. The | | craft was also emitting a beam of light towards the ground, and | | within the beam they could see a small humanoid being descending to | | the ground. The humanoid descended to the ground alone. Both men | | remained in the jeep, armed with their side arms, and watching the | | spectacle. Their weapons suddenly became disabled, as if welded | | together. Then there was a terrible noise, and Scott lost | | consciousness. He awoke much later in his base infirmary, not knowing | | how he had gotten there. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1980, citing personal testimony by Frank Scott | | to Overmeire). | | | | 1997 - At 5:20 a.m. a luminous rectangular craft was seen by two | | witnesses near the shore in the town of Cullera, Valencia province, | | Spain. It had two sections, was coverd with lights, and hovered for | | 50 minutes. It flew off to the south-southeast. (Source: Lumieres | | dans la Nuit, issue 345, September 1997). | | | | 1999 - At 2:20 p.m. three independent witnesses in Berks County, | | Pennsylvania observed a silver, double convex saucer as it flew over | | toward the south. At 5:45 p.m. it was seen again, this time flying | | north in Butler County, Pennsylvania. A married couple described it | | as a dull-gray metallic disc, like two quarters on edge. It was first | | seen flying in the west at high altitude, and then made a sharp 90 | | degree turn to the north.

A good-sized flying triangle with several white | | lights was sighted and videotaped at about 10:00 p.m. in Floriston, | | California. It had a bright red strobing light as well as the several | | white lights, and was the size of a Boeing 727. It flew over the | | mountain range to the northeast, stopped, turned off all lights for a | | few seconds, then lit up again and came straight back overhead | | without making a banking turn. It made no noise, even though it was | | close. The videotape is about 30 seconds long. (Source: George A. | | Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: Worldwide Reports of UFO | | Sightings, p. 81, citing anomalousnews@yahoo.com). | | | | 2004 - While out photographing a meteor shower at 1:30 a.m. two men, | | Mike and Lance, both 23, sighted three triangles flying in a circle | | over Palmdale, California, spinning at fantastic speeds, that then | | stopped and disappeared. During the sighting Mike called his | | girlfriend on his cell phone, and while talking the cell phone died. | | Then the digital camera they had, which had been fully charged, died | | and would not work, with the message "battery dead". Yet when they | | got home both the phone and the camera worked, and when the camera | | was placed in its charger the message "full charge" appeared. The | | triangle craft were estimated to be flying at 20,000 feet, and were | | the apparent size of a quarter at arm's length. The triangles had a | | semi-spherical shape to them, and both men saw high definition shapes | | in the crafts' bodies. (Source: George A. Filer & David E.
