This occurred for a total of | | four evenings in a row, beginning at around 7:00 p.m. The objects | | were high in the sky and resembled pulsating stars, but they shot | | away as if controlled. (Source: Jan Aldrich, Project 1947 Research | | Notes from Bordentown, New Jersey talk on April 16, 2005, p. 47, | | citing San Francisco Chronicle, July 24, 1952). | | | | 1956 - At 11:00 a.m. police in Escuintla, Guatemala sighted a | | luminous, cigarette-shaped object that zig-zagged silently through | | the sky.

Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the | | Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1956: January-April, p. 87). | | | | 1959 - At 10:00 p.m. in St. Rose, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana a 0.6 | | meter in diameter sphere flew over at 30 km/hour heading south at an | | altitude of 700 meters. It made a slight buzzing sound. It changed | | colors, and then made a 180 degree turn traveling back to the | | northeast. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 5775, | | citing Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A | | History. 1959: July-September, p. 41). | | | | 1960 - On this evening a power failure occurred in Miami, Florida | | after a misty blue cloud with a bright center was seen.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A0501, citing newspaper | | clipping dated July 22, 1960). | | | | 1965 - In Macias, Entre Rios province, Argentina at eleven o'clock at | | night Felipe Martinez reportedly met with humanoid UFOnauts for the | | third time since they had first contacted him. He was told that the | | "space people" would soon show themselves to people everywhere on | | earth. They also told him that on December 3 that year they would | | return to take Martinez and his family, and then they would then burn | | up the entire earth as punishment for our disbelief in their | | existence. Obviously, none of these prophesized events subsequently | | occurred. Four of the crew he met with were little men less than | | three feet tall, while the fifth man was over six feet tall and | | blond. This last crew member wore metallic plates on his arms, which | | had numerous small lights. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # 1965-22 (A0634), | | citing FSR; Gordon Creighton, The Humanoids: FSR Special Edition No. | | 1, p. 40). | | | | 1965 - The USAF Keweenaw Radar Site in Michigan had multiple radar | | contacts with seven or more unknown targets.

Approaching its reddish glow, he ran into three | | small creatures standing near a scrub tree. They spun around toward | | him, and one of them yelled something in a high-pitched, child like | | voice. The little beings then all ran back to the saucer-shaped UFO, | | which flashed away seconds later. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1966-28, citing | | Kevin Randle & Ted Bloecher). | | | | 1967 - At 12:30 a.m. a 40-year-old witness was out in his garden in | | Wissons, France when he noticed a greenish glow on the ground. The | | glow was in a nearby field next to a cemetery. Within the glow he | | could see two shiny silvery figures moving about, apparently floating | | just above the ground. The figures soon disappeared from sight. | | Later, two V-shaped depressions were found on the ground in the same | | area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1967, | | citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 195, Denys Breysse, Project | | Becassine). | | | | 1967 - At 2:30 a.m. Barbara Fawcett, age 18, and her sister saw a | | yellow "jagged" object rise above a swamp near Jewfish Creek, | | Florida. A dog riding in their car became fearful of the low flying | | yellow light, which flew just 15 feet above the roadway in Pompano | | Beach.

Air Force investigators found a very large | | scorched area at the spot. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, July-August 1967, | | p. 7; NICAP UFO Investigator, October1967, p. 4; Coral & Jim | | Lorenzen, Encounters with UFO Occupants, p. 14; Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 858, citing APRO). | | | | 1967 - On this afternoon in Pamlico County, North Carolina | | 14-year-old Ronnie Hill was playing in the garden when he noticed a | | strange odor in the air, and his eyes began to tear. He then saw a | | spherical object about three meters in diameter descend from the sky | | and land in a nearby field. Thinking that nobody would believe him, | | he ran inside his home and obtained a small Kodak camera. Once back | | outside he saw a small figure emerge from behind the object. The | | figure was about 1.25 meters in height, wore a tight-fitting silvery | | suit and carried in its hand a black object that it inserted into the | | ground, The entity then returned to the object, which took off into | | the sky at high speed. The odor was described as resembling propane | | gas. Ronnie Hill also noticed a total lack of sound during the | | encounter. A controversial photograph of the humanoid and UFO | | was taken and subsequently publicized. The photograph is widely | | regarded as a hoax by UFO investigators, with an eggshell used to | | model the UFO. (Source: John A.

He stopped his truck within 30 | | meters of the object with the truck headlights aimed on it, and was | | surprised to see two dwarfs dressed in shiny black uniforms rush by | | his vehicle and enter the craft, which took off straight up in a | | vertical ascent. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, case # 860). | | | | 1969 - At 1:00 a.m. a bang was heard at the door and the dog | | began barking in Cannes, Alpes-Maritime Department, France. Looking | | out, two boys saw a small white sphere that was hovering over a rose | | bush outside. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case # 8911, | | citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue 152). | | | | 1969 - Waldo, Maine - Randolph Whitcomb had just pulled off Route 137 | | onto Birches Road at 1:45 a.m. when his car radio "went haywire", | | fading into static. Then he noticed that his car hood was reflecting | | a red glare. Looking up, he saw a large, glowing red object hovering | | low over his vehicle. Startled, Whitcomb raced the three miles home. | | The UFO paced him the entire distance and "moved off fast" as he | | turned into his driveway. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, | | September-October 1969, p. 3). | | | | 1970 - In 1970 an unidentified flying object described as looking like a | | silver bowl inverted upon another silver bowl was sighted hovering in | | the sky over Lynn, Massachusetts at 7:45 a.m. It was tipped slightly | | at an angle. (Source: Raymond Fowler, UFOs Interplanetary Visitors, | | p. 356). | | | | Lynn, Massachusetts - 1970 | | | | [] | | | | 1972 - At 8:30 p.m. in Pinelands, Western Cape Province, South Africa | | a witness by the name of Alexander saw a bright red object only two | | or three meters from the ground.

(Sources: FSR, April 1978, | | p. 31; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. | | 57) | | | | 1975 - A 40-year-old artist named Malichev, living in Solnechnogorsk, | | Russia not far from Moscow claimed he had communicated telepathically | | with three UFO occupants. Their leader, a woman, told him he had a | | stable psychological system, which was why they had contacted him. | | They arrived in the middle of the afternoon on this day in a | | disc-shaped craft with three antennae. He was taken on an | | otherworldly journey, apparently to a planet with three moons. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, The Soviet UFO Chronicle, p. 202). | | | | 1977 - At 4:15 a.m. Police Officer John W. Bruner, a deputy sheriff, | | was on duty In Porter, Texas and was the first person to observe the | | UFO. Officer Bruner and his partner Officer Coogler were parked west | | of the object, which appeared to be approximately hald a mile to a | | mile away. Bruner and Coogler got out of their vehicle and tried to | | observe the object better by shinning their light on it. The object | | moved toward the men and the officers turned off the light because | | they became nervous at seeing the object's response to their light. | | The object then moved back to its original location. They agreed that | | the object appeared to have six portholes surrounding a type of | | framework. The two officers observed the UFO for approximately 45 | | minutes. During that time period, the UFO appeared to stand still in | | mid air, pulsate, travel at incredible speeds, and fly erratically. | | The officers described the UFO's apparent size to be about that of a | | grapefruit at arm's length. Officer Bruner was convinced that the | | object he saw was neither a balloon nor a helicopter. (Source: NICAP | | UFO Investigator, October 1977, page 4). | | | | 1982 - In Whitley City, Kentucky at 2:00 a.m. a top-shaped object lit | | up a garden with a red beam of lightdirected downwards. The craft had | | 30 lights around its rim. It flew to the north, then circled back, | | and finally flew off by making a vertical ascent. (Source: Larry | | Hatch, U computer database, case # 14419, citing APRO Bulletin, | | February 1982). | | | | 1991 - Two flying humanoids, a man and a woman, landed on the hood of | | a truck moving at 50 mph down a highway near La Tigra, Argentina, | | and remained seated there until they got to town. They were described | | as very tall and very pale in complexion, and had blond hair and | | wore tight-fitting white uniforms.The lone male truck driver said | | that the beings remained sitting on the hood until the truck | | approached the outskirts of town, where they suddenly disappeared. | | Tracks were said to have been found on the hood of the truck. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1991, addendum | | case # 2, citing Richard Heiden). | | | | 1991 - Three young girls (ages 10-12) had stayed up late to watch a | | TV program and had gone into the backyard to play on a trampoline in | | Springfield, Missouri at two o'clock in the morning. They noticed a | | white, oval-shaped light moving rapidly from the side of the house to | | a corner of the backyard, where a large tree stood. One of the girls | | then noticed a strange-looking humanoid figure standing near the | | trampoline. It was about 4½ feet tall and completely white in color, | | with thin long arms and a huge pear-shaped head that was completely | | bald. It had two large black almond-shaped eyes, and it was very | | skinny with long skinny fingers on its long arms. The girls next ran | | back into the house and attempted to tell an older cousin of the | | incident, but the cousin ignored them and went back to bed. The girls | | then went back into the den and resumed watching television. Moments | | later their cat began acting strangely and the television screen went | | blank. At this point all three then saw the same humanoid again, | | looking at them through a window. The humanoid moved its head in a | | jerky mechanical manner. The girls ran and hid in the basement, where | | they stayed for the remainder of the night. (Sources: David F. Webb & | | Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A2306; | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1991, case # 726; Duane | | & Susan Bedell, MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 282). | | | | 1994 - At two o'clock in the afternoon an oval-shaped object was | | observed hovering over Taharti Lake, British Columbia, Canada for | | three minutes. It was about the size of a car. All of the witnesses | | returned to their cabin, but that night all five witnesses are unable | | to account for the next 24 hours. Their UFO sighting and the missing | | time incident is reported to the RCMP. (Source: Frank Ducks, 1994 | | Canadian UFO Survey Report, case # 85). | | | | 1997 - A craft flying at 15 meters altitude with three white fixed | | lights was seen in Cholet, Maine-Loire department, France. Its speed | | was slow, and the encounter lasted 10 minutes. A deafening buzz could | | be heard during the passage of this object. (Source: GEIPAN, case # | | 257). | | | | 2002 - Argentine Policeman Guillermo Arias was on patrol in Chaj'n, | | Cordoba Province, Argentina at 11:00 p.m. when a radio call alerted | | him that police in neighboring Achiras had sighted lights heading | | toward them.  As he was driving his police patrol van he spotted a | | formation of seven lights, and followed them for 10 kilometers down a | | rural dirt road when his vehicle's engine died, his dashboard lights | | and interior lights began turning on and off, and his radio went | | haywire with the dial displaying random frequencies. The van also | | filled with an acrid odor like burnt wiring. Badly frightened, Arias | | ran from his van and in the process lost his mobile phone. At this | | point an immense light rose from an adjacent field, coming from a | | large, 200 meter long, triangular object. He described it as looking | | like a "floating city" with a long row of about 100 windows. | | | | Sr. Arias then saw something moving behind him, which he described as | | "non-human" in appearance. Numerous beams of light came out of the | | giant triangle craft, directed at the ground for several seconds. The | | object suddenly rose and sped away, illuminating the area like | | daylight. Recovering from his fear, Arias returned to the van and | | notified his fellow officers of his experience. He was told that | | reinforcements were being sent out to meet him. Patrolman Barrios | | from Achiras talked to him over the radio, trying to keep him calm, | | while Sgt. Medina was the first backup officer to arrive on the | | scene. He was joined by Sgt. Cordoba, among other officers, who | | reached the rural location to lend their assistance to their comrade | | in distress. (Source: George Filer & David E.
