Streeten of West Bolton, Vermont | | notified authorities that he had sighted a "flying saucer" at 4:40 | | p.m. Three hours later Mrs. Ralph Holmes, wife of a University of | | Vermont physics professor, said she observed a fiery object whizzing | | through the sky. Miss Alice Giroux, a University of Vermont coed, and | | Miss Irene Audette of Hartford, Connecticut, a visiting skier, both | | reported seeing a flying saucer. One Vermonter, Dr. C. H. Vaughn of | | Burlington, said he saw a bluish-white flying saucer land in | | Massachusetts between Concord and Lexington. He was driving his car | | when he saw the object. Altogether, 20 people reported sighting | | flying saucers--round ones, square ones, and a few with handsome flue | | tails--in Chittenden and Franklin Counties. (Source: Richmond (VA) | | Times-Dispatch, July 14, 1948.) | | | | 1961 - In Springfield, Ohio at 7:45 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Scott and their | | neighbors sighted a round, bright light like shiny aluminum pass | | overhead. Their sighting lasted 20 minutes. (Source: Don Berliner, | | Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1966 - At 7:45 p.m. Carl Wood and Charles Hawthorne of Union, | | Pennsylvania observed a large, 100-foot wide bright red object with | | small windows and yellow lights. The UFO emitted a humming sound, | | seemingly from the outside, and a grinding noise that seemed to come | | from inside the craft. They watched it for an hour. (Source: Don | | Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). | | | | 1967 - On this evening in Santa Clara del Mar, Argentina two persons | | saw a cigar-shaped object on the ground, 400 meters away from the | | road. It took off, rising rapidly. It had window-like openings | | emitting a bright light. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 854). | | | | 1970 - Three women were driving near the airport in Trois Rivieres, | | Quebec, Canada at around 9 p.m. when they sighted a white smokey | | cloud above the roadway. Inside of it a thin, human-like figure could | | be seen. As the car drove through the cloud it vanished. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1970, citing John Brent | | Musgrave, UFO Occupants and Critters). | | | | 1978 - Two young boys were playing in a tree in an empty field near | | the Can Fita farm in Can Cifre, Ibiza, Spain when they heard a loud | | noise coming from the nearby woods. Thinking it could be some kind of | | animal, they climbed down the tree and were confronted by a strange | | robot-like being. The humanoid had a bright metallic body that | | reflected the sunlight, two antenna-like projections from the top of | | its head, and large slit like eyes and mouth. To their horror it | | began moving towards them using incredibly long jumps. Both boys ran | | towards a nearby barbwire fence, but were astonished to see another | | bizarre figure standing just in front of some nearby trees. They | | describe the second figure as a man over two meters tall, bearded and | | with long black hair and wearing a long white cape that was flowing | | in the wind. Their fear increased when they realized both figures had | | apparently come from a huge landed UFO that was partially hidden | | behind some nearby electrical pylons. As they ran to town they were | | chased by a bright blue light most of the way. Strange tracks were | | later found at the site of the encounter. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing Iker Jimenez, Encuentros: La | | Historia de Los OVNI en España). | | | | 1978 - A 44-year-old woman was watching television in Alto Da Mooca, | | Sao Paolo, Brazil as her 3 sons slept in their room. At around eleven | | o'clock her small dog began acting strangely by running around in | | circles, then running from the kitchen and to the door that led | | outside, apparently trying to get out. She walked towards the door | | and heard a loud "mechanical" sound. When she opened the door she was | | confronted by two short humanoids who hovered just above the ground. | | Both humanoids stood side by side. Behind the humanoids was an | | oval-shaped craft that had landed on three metallic leg. One being | | approached the now paralyzed witness, making gestures as if to calm | | her down, while the other humanoid floated around outside as if | | searching for something. The only movement she was able to make was | | to raise her arms to her chest. She could not utter a word. | | | | The humanoid closest to her caressed her head while the other floated | | towards the UFO, situated in the middle of her yard. The being | | standing next to her then floated to a door in the UFO and removed | | from his belt an aluminum container. The container illuminated the | | yard in a bizarre yellow "coherent" light that appeared solid. The | | beam of light would enlarge, then decrease in size intermittently. | | The beam of light was directed towards the kitchen area, the yard and | | into the landed UFO. The humanoid aiming the beam of light then | | preceded to take a small cylinder from his belt which emitted a cloud | | of smoke, enveloping both humanoids. A few seconds later both beings | | boarded the object, but before entering they beckoned for her to come | | with them. When they got no response they waved at her and entered | | the object. Soon a plume of smoke emerged from the bottom and the | | object began to ascend. Two bright yellow lights became visible and | | the craft flew off into the distance. Before it left she thought she | | saw another figure through a porthole in the object. | | | | Moments later the witness was again able to move. She ran to notify | | her family who said she appeared cold and very pale. She described | | the humanoids as 1.25 meters in height, wearing round silver metallic | | helmets on their heads. In the front of the helmet was a blue dimly | | lit area. Their faces inside the helmets appeared yellowish, and | | their eyes were round and dark, and lacked irises or eyelids. They | | had small flat noses and seemed to lack ears or mouths. Where the | | mouth should have been was a round metallic plate. Their one-piece | | suits were light gray in color and both had belts with numerous | | gadgets. Their bodies were very thin, and their heads were | | disproportionately large. One of the humanoids was somewhat heavier | | and appeared to be a female; this one had a metallic disc-shaped | | emblem or plate on the chest, about 15 cm in diameter with a small | | white light in the middle. The other humanoid's uniform lacked one. | | The object was metallic and oval in shape with several oval-shaped | | portholes. It had antennae and a multicolored sphere of light on the | | top. During the encounter there was a total lack of sound. There was | | also a strong smell resembling ammonia and she felt extremely cold. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing | | Revista Brasileira OVNI, UFO News Brazil). | | | | 1998 - Sometime after midnight a woman in an unspecified location in | | Puerto Rico heard a masculine voice that woke her up. She then began | | to float towards the ceiling. A tall human looking figure with black | | hair (previously encountered) accompanied her, holding her by the | | hand. Somehow they went up through the ceiling and she saw something | | resembling a "cloud" floating overhead. They entered this "cloud" and | | she found herself in a large room with windows and bench-like seats | | all around it. The room was dull silver in color and there wasn't | | anyone else present. The man then escorted her into a semi-dark room | | and told her to wait there. The room suddenly became hot and then | | cold in a matter of seconds. He then returned and they left the room | | together. She was able to look out a window and saw a view of snow | | covered mountains. She also saw an ocean that had something like a | | waterspout in the middle of it. She was then taken to a wall and a | | previously undetectable door appeared, she west through the door and | | found herself in another metallic room with a metallic "table" | | floating in mid-air. In the room where three short grey beings | | wearing white coveralls with a red star insignia on their chests. | | Another tall human was present; he wore a tight-fitting light blue | | metallic coverall with a silver belt. The belt had a buckle with what | | appeared to be a glistening quartz crystal. The human wore gloves, | | but his shoes were part of his one-piece metallic uniform. Only his | | face was visible. She remembered encountering the man before. He told | | her that they were going to remove a cyst from her body, and promised | | not to leave any scars. She then apparently fell asleep and woke up | | later on her bed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1998, citing Lucy Guzman). | | | | 2000 - Two taxi drivers, Walter Ortega and Luis Rodolfo Aguero were | | working the late shift at their station in Banda de Varela, | | Argentina. Around 3:30 a.m. Luis was sleeping when Walter went | | outside when he heard some noises. Armed with a metal bar, he | | searched around in the darkness. Suddenly, an unseen forced picked | | him up and threw him backwards about two meters, and he landed on the | | ground. At the same time he noticed a figure dressed in what looked | | like a long dark coat sitting on a nearby fence. He described the | | figure as short in stature, wearing a large black hat, with its face | | hidden in shadow. Terrified, he ran to wake up his partner and called | | the police, who searched the area but found nothing. (Source: Albert | | S.
