It was | | about 10 meters in diameter and 100 meters away from them. The UFO | | went through a regular sequence of color changes. It had red and blue | | lights, and when on the ground they were half blue and half red, | | which would switch colors. When they decided to get closer it rose | | and flew off. They watched it for 10 minutes. (Sources: Michael | | Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 157; Keith Basterfield, | | UFO Research Australia Newsletter, March 1982, p. 23). | | | | 1963 - Fred White was fishing in Richards Bay, South Africa at 10:30 | | p.m. when he heard a high-pitched whine coming from the east and saw | | an object come in his direction and land 15 meters away, scattering | | sand. It was at least 30 meters in diameter, and was shaped like two | | plates glued together. Through several oval portholes he could see | | light inside. A man with a fair complexion, wearing a metallic | | helmet, was looked at him through one of the portholes. He wore a | | sky-blue, one-piece coverall with no visible buttons or fasteners, | | and gloves made of shiny mesh. Warm air was felt as the craft took | | off about six minutes later, and radio interference was noted. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | case 568). | | | | 1964 - At 6:17 p.m. a UFO paced a vehicle being driven by a man named | | Grazier along Salt Creek, Tilley, South Australia. The object was | | estimated to be 200 feet long, silver in color, and made a whining | | noise as it chased the car. (Sources: Keith Basterfield, UFO Research | | South Australia, case SA64005; Ray Palmer, Flying Saucers, | | January-February 1966, p. 53; Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern | | Hemisphere, p. 190). | | | | 1966 - On this night a news reporter and his family saw an egg-shaped | | object 150 feet over some power lines in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. | | The felt a vibration and the TV and house lights dimmed.

It descended in a falling-leaf | | fashion until it was within a yard of the ground, then it settled in | | a tilted position beside the highway he was on. It was aluminum | | colored while it was landing, but turned color to a dull copper after | | in landed. It was about 3-4 meters (16 feet) wide. After three | | minutes some legs thrust out, which leveled the UFO. Then Herrera saw | | beside it a being 5 feet two inches tall, dressed in a white "diving | | suit" with an opaque helmet. The beings arms were cut off short | | without any hands. The feet were covered by the suit, with no other | | footwear. He did not see the entity emerge from the craft. It glided | | a few feet without walking, then vanished. A few seconds later the | | UFO retracted its legs, returned to an inclined position, and took | | off. Herrera was about 50 feet away from it at the time. He took what | | he thought was one step and found he was already standing at the | | landing marks, having moved 50 feet without any conscious memory. | | There were seven imprints at the site, nonsymmetrically arranged, | | covering an area of only about five feet square. A small truck came | | up and its driver said that he had seen the UFO and it had caused his | | engine and his radio to fail. This man drove Herrera, who now felt | | ill, to Salta. He entered a medical clinic there, where he underwent | | treatment for eight days without ever being told the diagnosis. | | (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1973-86, citing Fabio Zerpa, ONIFE). | | | | 1975 - There were many UFO reports from Ashland and Iron Counties in | | northern Wisconsin on this night. At 9:00 p.m. a noisy disc-shaped | | UFO witnessed by the Baker family left a ring-shaped ground mark in | | the snow in Mellen, Wisconsin. Three nocturnal lights circled and | | buzzed cars from the Sherriff's department in Iron County at 11:00 | | p.m. A police radio failed to work for 15 minutes during the | | encounters. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, April-May 1975, p. 1; CUFOS case | | files, report dated March 20, 1975; Jay Rath, The W-Files: True | | Reports of Wisconsin's Unexplained Phenomena, p. 61). | | | | 1977 - Two teenagers near Mandurah, Western Australia observed a | | globe of light moving in a straight line in the sky at 8:30 p.m. | | Their car's engine died during the sighting, which lasted only a few | | seconds, but their car headlights remained on. The object was | | bluish-white in color and vanished in the distance, still moving at a | | steady speed. The car's engine then could be restarted with no | | trouble. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle | | Interference, case 409, citing ACUFOS) | | | | 1977 - At 9:00 p.m. Stephen Taylor, age 17, was walking home from a | | visit to his girlfriend's house in Pen-Y-Cwm, Pembrokeshire, Wales | | when he saw an orange, luminous, pear-shaped UFO in the sky. He | | walked to a friend's house to tell him but was not believed. About | | half a mile further on he noticed that he could not see the lights of | | farmhouses to his right. Looking closer, he saw that they were | | obscured by a large dome-shaped object, dark in appearance, about 30 | | to 40 feet in diameter and 40 feet high, that was resting in the | | adjacent field. Around its underside there was a dim glow of light. | | As he watched he heard footsteps, and looking around only a few yards | | away was a figure "like a skinny human six-foot tall." The being | | looked "like an old man" with high cheekbones, and had large round | | eyes resembling those of a fish. Over its mouth was a box like device | | with a tube leading over the shoulder. It was wearing a one-piece | | suit that looked semi-transparent. Taylor took a swing at the figure | | and ran for home. On arrival he found his dog acted strangely toward | | him, snarling and barking, and had to be put outdoors. The dog | | behaved normally the next day. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977 -13, | | citing Randall Jones Pugh, BUFORA). | | | | 1980 - At 7.50 p.m. a 31-year-old man saw a huge cigar-shaped object | | with red lights at both ends fly silently south to north over the | | A422 highway east of Alcester, Warwickshire, England. The man's | | steering wheel became unbearably hot during the flyover, and it | | caused burns on his hands, including one that left a permanent mark | | on his left hand. (Source: Tony Green, FSR, January 1981, p. 32). | | | | 1982 - Several teenagers attending a disco in Messel, near Frankfurt, | | Germany watched three groups of four lights arranged in squares in | | the night sky. The first two formations of objects moved slowly, and | | then hovered. The third group flew fast. At 21:30 a luminous blue | | domed disc appeared over some woods, and approached to within 100 | | meters. It was ten meters in diameter, made a humming sound, and had | | rotating multicolored lights. Police also witnessed the object. The | | close encounter lasted 20 minutes. (Source: Illobrand von Ludwiger, | | Best UFO Cases--Europe, p. 21). | | | | 1987 - At 4:54 a.m. a silent, tapered 12-foot long cylindrical object | | pursued a car near Moose Jaw, Saskachewan, Canada for four minutes. | | It followed the car with three witnesses closely, coming to within an | | estimated 40 feet. It gave off no Exhaust. (Source: MUFON UFO | | Journal, May 1989). | | | | 1990 - Ms. D. MacPhee had previously heard strange sounds in her | | house in Marshfield, Massachusetts at around 11:30 p.m. (March 12th) | | and discovered some furniture that had been overturned. Later she | | heard loud knocking sounds coming from the crawlspace underneath the | | living room floor. She ran upstairs and woke up her husband, but he | | fell back asleep. At 1:30 a.m. she took a flashlight with her and | | went to the sunroom, where she found the heavy doorframe knocked down | | and lying on the grass. See next saw a three-and-a-half-foot tall | | humanoid floating above the ground. The being had a large oval-shaped | | head with large black almond shaped eyes, smooth gray skin, a small | | slit for a mouth and nostril. The humanoid wore a black | | loose-fitting, cape-like garment. She dropped her flashlight and | | attempted to run upstairs to alert her husband. A period of about 50 | | minutes of missing time was reported, confirmed by the clock and her | | husband, and an abduction event was later confirmed under hypnosis. | | (Sources: MUFON field investigations database, case 901205, Field | | Investigator Morton Schafer; Morton Schafer, MUFON UFO Journal, | | February 1991, issue #274; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case A2303, citing Morton Schafer). | | | | 1990 - Two women driving in Pensacola Beach, Florida at three o'clock | | in the afternoon saw two white, milk bottle-shaped objects make an | | angular descent over Pensacola Bay. The objects were estimated to be | | about 20-30 feet in length, and reflected sunlight. When less than | | 150 feet above the water, and at an estimated distance of two miles, | | the objects dematerialized and vanished in few seconds. (Source: | | MUFON field investigations database, case 900422C, citing Field | | Investigators Carol & Rex Salisberry). | | | | 1992 - At ten o'clock in the morning Mr. Hooker, the chief | | photographer for WFRV-TV, videotaped a cigar-shaped UFO in Bellevue, | | Wisconsin, which is a suburb of Green Bay. The UFO traveled from | | right to left in the frame, passing behind a windmill. Its estimated | | altitude was 25,000 feet, and it had a speed of 7,000 mph. (Source: | | Timothy Good, Alien Update, p. 257). | | | | 1992 - That same night, several witnesses in Jacanas, Puerto Rico | | watched numerous lights maneuvering over a nearby hilltop. A huge | | round, lighted craft descended and appeared to land behind the hill. | | Two women got into their car and drove towards the location to | | investigate. As they neared the area they noticed a grayish luminous | | light hovering over the hill, and a columnar beam of light was | | emanating from it. One of the then went into a trance and would not | | respond to her companion, so the other decided to drive back to her | | home. Once at her house they picked up some additional witnesses and | | they again drove back to the area where the light had been seen | | hovering. When they arrived, all of the witnesses except for the | | driver noticed a five-foot tall humanoid figure standing by the side | | of the road, no more than then feet from their vehicle. The being was | | thin with long thin arms, a large head and large dark almond-shaped | | eyes; his skin was gray in color and appeared to have a slight glow | | to it. He stood motionless looking at the witnesses. Behind him a | | shaft of grayish light could be seen, apparently coming from the | | light source above. At this point the witnesses panicked and drove | | away quickly from the area. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1992, case # 2101, citing Jorge Martin, Evidencia | | OVNI, issue # 5). | | 1997 - Thousands in Phoenix, Arizona saw lights arranged in a | | V-shaped formation on this evening beginning at 7:55 p.m. There | | appear to have been two separate incidents. Earlier in the evening | | what may have been a huge V-shaped object passed over the states of | | Nevada and Arizona. Over the next two hours multiple objects or | | lights, estimated to be one to two miles apart, hovered motionless | | over the mountains and were seen and videotaped from several | | locations. The Government explanation of the sightings was that the | | Air National Guard was performing flight operations from Luke A.F.B. | | dropping flares, and this may well be the explanation for the later | | sightings. However, the sightings earlier in the evening remained | | unexplained. (Sources: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting | | Center, Seattle; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 17890, citing | | Lumieres dans la Nuit, March 1997, issue # 343). | | | | 2003 - Three boomerang shaped objects hovered over the ocean off the | | coast of Panama City, Florida at 11:00 p.m. The sighting was brief, | | lasting less than 15 seconds.
