It then shot off | | toward the west at a very high altitude. Project Blue Book lists the | | explanation for the encounter as due to a weather balloon. (Sources: | | Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, February | | 1953, case 9; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1953: | | January-February, p. 74). | | | | 1954 - At 11:15 a.m. a rotating top-shaped object, with beams of | | light streaming from its portholes, was seen by several on board an | | airliner flying near Barquisimeto, Venezuela. Radio contact with the | | control tower was interrupted when the plane's radio operator tried | | to tell the airport about the UFO. The UFO was green with a red strip | | in middle, and descended very rapidly. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, | | Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 22; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. | | 1954: January-May, p. 34; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, UFOs: The Whole | | Story, p. 65). | | | | 1957 - A woman named Salter was driving in an uninhabited part of | | Georgetown, Connecticut around ten p.m. when she encountered a | | five-meter long cigar-shaped object close to the ground on the left | | side of the road. It had several portholes, half a meter in diameter, | | that were lit by a yellow light. She saw shadows moving about inside. | | After a short while the UFO took off going straight up.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case A0416, citing investigator Harvey Courtney, APRO Bulletin, | | March-April 1962, p. 1). | | | | 1964 - At 2:00 a.m. a woman in Gum Creek, South Australia awoke to a | | bright light in her room. She saw a man approximately five feet four | | inches tall with a red face and a big nose in her room. He held a | | black box that buzzed when he pointed it at her. He also wore a | | helmet, green coveralls, and a brown jacket. She sank back into her | | bed and fell asleep. She later became a UFO contactee.

Webb, Proceedings of the CUFOS Conference: 1976, p. 267). | | | | 1965 - At 10:45 p.m. several people witnessed a large, seven-meter | | diameter disc-shaped UFO ascend from the beach in South Brighton, New | | Zealand. It emitted a whistling noise as it rose up, and dogs in the | | area behaved in a highly agitated manner. Flattened dune grass was | | discovered at the landing site. (Sources: Gordon I. R. Lore, Jr., | | Strange Effects from UFOs, p. 69; Jacque Vallee, Passport to Magonia: | | A Century of Landings, case 635, citing the Press Evening Post, | | February 4, 1965; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume 2: A | | Thirty Year Report, p. 262). | | | | 1967 - Numerous witnesses saw UFOs with flashing lights and domes | | maneuvering in the sky over Piggott, Arkansas. Small satellite | | objects and merging objects were seen during the event. Dogs reacted | | by barking. (Source: Gordon I. R. Lore, Jr., Strange Effects from | | UFOs, p. 71). | | | | 1977 - At 9:30 p.m. several children at a youth camp in Tasmania, | | Australia at Seven-Mile Beach observed a stationary, dome-shaped | | object hovering near the beach. The object then moved behind some | | trees, partially obscuring it. On the dome was a row of windows | | through which at least two of the children reported seeing a thin | | humanoid figure with a round head. It seemed to be moving back and | | forth behind the window. One child described the object as similar to | | two plates placed edge to edge, with flashing yellow white lights | | along the edge and a red light on top of the dome. The object | | disappeared from view behind the trees. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-68, citing | | Tasmanian UFO Investigation Centre). | | | | Seven Mile Beach, Tasmania - 1977 | | | | [] | | | | 1981 - At 9:40 p.m. a luminous ovoid object maneuvered at 30 meters | | altitude in Ross, Tasmania and paced a car. When the car approached a | | hotel, it shot straight up and out of sight. (Source: Keith Roberts, | | UFO Research Australia Newsletter, May 1982, p. 6). | | | | 1983 - At 1:10 a.m. a 28-year-old woman observed a very large | | metallic, cylindrical flying object with structural detail up close | | while driving on a highway near Mobile, Alabama. She could see 20-30 | | occupants inside through the windows. They appear to pay no attention | | to her, although she feels a sense of euphoria during the event. She | | had earlier had dreams of a UFO abduction encounter including a | | physical exam. (Sources: Ed Brown, APRO Bulletin, May 1984, p. 1; | | Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, case | | 103). | | | | 1984 - Mr. Jonsson was driving home in Tingsryd, Sweden at around | | 1:00 a.m. when he saw a disc-shaped object 80 meters across and some | | 5-10 meters above the road ahead of him. He got to his home, got his | | camera, and went back to the site of his encounter. His car stalled, | | and he recalled seeing several beings who attempted to abduct him. He | | had nearly two hours of missing time. An independent witness verified | | seeing the UFO. (Sources: Doris Graziano, APRO Bulletin, June 1985, | | p. 8; Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery, | | case 270). | | | | 1994 - Six witnesses, including a Mr. Giulo, observed a strange | | humanoid wandering around on the nearby rocky shore in Ancona, Italy | | at 9:00 a.m. The humanoid was described as about 1.5 meters tall and | | wearing a tight-fitting black coverall that covered his entire body | | including his unusually long feet. The face was elongated with two | | huge round eyes that had round black pupils. The creature appeared to | | be wearing earphones and a helmet with a thin protruding antenna on | | one side. It seemed to stagger as it moved slowly. After ten minutes | | it rose up, slowly and vertically, into the air, disappearing from | | sight quickly. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1994, case # 2507, citing CISU Italy). | | | | Written by Donald A.
