Gross, UFOs: A | | History. 1950: August-December, p. 45). | | | | 1954 - Lucien Fisch saw an object land near Route N83 in Issenheim, | | Haut-Rhin, France. It was luminous. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport | | to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 234, case 290). | | | | 1954 - At 2:30 a.m. Lazlo Ujvari, age 40, saw a dark domed disc in | | Raon-l'Etape, Vosges, France that made a whining noise. He was | | suddenly confronted by a man wearing a jacket, boots, and some type | | of cloth headgear, like a pilot's leather helmet. The man pointed a | | gun at him and said something he could not understand. When Ujvari | | spoke to him in Russian, the man answered in the same language. He | | asked whether he was in Spain or Italy, and how far he was from | | Germany. When he asked the time, Ujvari said "2:30." The man took out | | a watch and said "You lie, it's 4:00." Then he wanted to know how far | | away and in what direction was Marseilles. He forced Ujvari to walk | | with him on the road, and they soon came to a gray craft with an | | antenna on top. The man left him there and went aboard. When Ujvari | | had walked about 200 meters from the craft he heard a soft whistling | | sound and saw it fly straight up, then take an oblique trajectory. | | (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | p. 235, case 291; Michel Carrouges, Les Apparitions de Martiens, p. | | 99). | | | | 1954 - On or about this date, in Binghamton, New York a Mr. White | | reported that he met two humanoids dressed in metallic snowsuits on | | the golf course. They spoke English with a peculiar accent, and said | | they would intervene in the event of a nuclear war. The UFO they | | arrived in was round, disc-shaped with a glass ring on the rim. | | Ground traces included burnt soil in a circle 14 feet in diameter. | | (Source: NICAP case files). | | | | 1954 - During a rainstorm on this late afternoon in the Lusigny | | Forest in Aube department, France Roger Reveille saw an oval flying | | object close to the ground. It was six meters long and hovered at | | treetop level. He felt intense heat coming from it. It shot up | | vertically at great speed. Inside the woods the heat had become | | intolerable and a cloud of dense smoke had formed under the rain. | | After 15 minutes the witness was able to approach the site, and he | | found the trees, grass, and ground perfectly dry. (Sources: Aime | | Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 204; Jacques | | Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 235, case | | 292). | | | | 1954 - Several unknown objects maneuvered for two hours near the | | village of St-Valery, Somme, France. One of them was very brilliant | | and landed in a pasture. Two others were seen near a cliff in Mers, | | France. They appeared to be in communication with UFOs in another | | group by means of light signals. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to | | Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 235, case 293; Paris Presse, | | October 22, 1954). | | | | 1954 - In Turquenstein, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France at 6:30 p.m. Mr. | | Schoubrenner, a 25-year-old truck driver, saw a bright light in the | | distance and soon found his road blocked by a strange object. The | | engine died, and he felt paralyzed: "My hands were as though glued to | | the wheel." He also felt a sensation of heat inside his vehicle. The | | craft looked like an inverted cone, the lower part phosphorescent, | | the middle dull, and the top luminous with a yellow or orange point. | | (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, | | pp. 203-204; Flying Saucers, September 1962, p. 34; Richard Hall, The | | UFO Evidence, p. 74; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century | | of Landings, p. 235, case 294). | | | | 1954 - On this evening Mr. Renzo Pugina, age 37, had just parked his | | car in the garage at his residence in Parravicino d'Erba, Italy when | | he saw a strange being wearing a "scaly" luminous suit. It stood near | | a tree and was about 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) tall. The entity had what | | looked like a flashlight, and aimed a beam of light from it at him. | | He felt paralyzed and was unable to move until he made a clenching | | motion with his fist on the garage keys that he held in his hand. | | Freed from the temporary paralysis he ran to attack the intruder, who | | fled with a soft whirring sound. An oily spot was found at the site. | | (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | pp. 235-236, case 295). | | | | 1955 - Manuel Gonzalez Vazquez and his neighbor Erminda where in a | | field tending some cattle in Portela de Pau, Orense, Spain in the | | late afternoon when they felt a slight tremor that lasted a few | | minutes. Moments later they saw an undetermined figure inside a | | “screen-like” image in the sky. The figure had a definite human | | shape. Seconds later they spotted a second flying figure approaching | | under the clouds. As the figure approached they could tell that it | | was a female figure, flying at three meters above the ground. It | | resembled an 18-year-old girl, and was a little over a meter in | | height. Her hair was gathered up in a bun and she was wearing a light | | turquoise colored cloak. The woman flew by the two witnesses and | | turned to look at them but did not say anything. It eventually glided | | away and disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1955, citing Gaceta OVNI). | | | | 1973 - In the evening Mr. Mars Walker, a student at the University of | | Georgia in Athens, Georgia observed a vague, purple shape about 50 | | yards from the house. A humanoid being with tentacle-like protrusions | | about the head came from it . He had hands with three or four | | fingers. It wore a belt that had several odd objects hanging from it, | | and appeared to be taking readings with them. The being completely | | ignored the witness for the 30 minute period that the encounter | | lasted. It was bathed in a green light from the UFO. Eventually it | | was "taken back into the vessel." (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted | | Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-51; David | | F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids). | | | | 1973 - The witness, a young women college student, had left college | | for home and was then reported missing, her car having been found | | abandoned in Indiana with the hood up by the side of the road. She | | turned up four days later at a police station, and reported that she | | had been driving along a deserted highway when her vehicle's engine | | sputtered and died at around ten p.m. She stepped out to check on it | | and was suddenly grabbed from behind by three creatures. She | | described them as wearing white face masks, or having white faces | | like molded plastic masks. Their eyes were large and set close to the | | sides of the head, and they had three-fingered, claw-like hands. They | | all wore metallic blue coveralls with a white stripe down the side. | | She was floated onboard a domed, disc- shaped object that was sitting | | on a nearby field. She was forced into a room, stripped, and then | | strapped to a table. Then she was given an extensive medical exam in | | which several needles were inserted into her body. She was left | | briefly alone in the brightly lit room, and then strapped to a chair. | | There several electrode-like devices were attached to her body and | | the creatures interrogated her at length. She was later given water | | and some food, which she did not eat, and released on a lonely | | stretch of road. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1973, case #1414, citing Kevin D. Randle, The October | | Scenario). | | | | 1973 - A 48-year-old homemaker in Gerena, Sevilla province, Spain was | | in her kitchen washing dishes at 11:15 p.m. when she saw her patio | | suddenly light up. She next saw an oval-shaped object descend and | | emit a loud grinding noise. On each end of the object there was a | | bright red square, while the object's central section appeared | | transparent. She saw two dark figures inside the UFO. The object | | descended very close to the ground, emitting a loud sound, and then | | then shot upwards while increasing in luminescence. (Source: Albert | | S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1973, case #81, citing | | Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos & Fernandez Peri, Enciclopedia De Los | | Encuentros Cercanos con OVNIS). | | | | 1973 - Late at night nine campers, a group of students led by three | | adults, had gone to El Yunque Mountain Park in Puerto Rico hoping to | | "contact" UFOs and their occupants. They made camp high up on a | | mountain trail. Mr. Heriberto Ramos, the group's leader, said that at | | one point during their ascent they met three persons heading down the | | trail. There was nothing "alien" about the trio aside from the fact | | that they all dressed exactly alike and had similar features. One of | | the group members, who had stayed behind, took a photo of the three | | mysterious walkers, but only a patch of mist appeared on the | | developed film. | | | | Later that night the campers found themselves surrounded by five or | | six vaguely humanoid figures who darted about the thick vegetation. | | They had claw-like hands and elongated ears. Some of these "monsters" | | blocked the precipice flanked trail that constituted the only way | | down from the mountain. Mr. Ramos tried walking cautiously toward pne | | being, hoping to show that his intentions were amicable. He got to | | within ten feet from the creature, and was able to describe it as | | having a triangular head and "extraordinary" eyes. He even he managed | | to touch the strange being, which did not stir. Its skin felt neither | | cold nor rubbery. Almost simultaneously, one of his students lit a | | large, powerful flashlight flooding the area with light. The clawed | | creature reacted by racing away from the scene, literally tearing a | | path right through the dense vegetation. | | | | The path led to a 100 foot drop, giving Ramos the impression that | | they had frightened the being into jumping. But to his amazement it | | reappeared instantly at the side of its companions, who were still | | blocking the downhill path. From then until the sky began to lighten | | the besieged campers were watched by the beings, who remained in | | constant motion around them. Terror had led one of the students to | | bang himself repeatedly on the head with a flashlight, hoping to | | escape the situation by passing out. Seized by an inexplicable urge, | | another camper expressed a desire to take a walk in the woods. | | Fearing for his mental state, one of his companions offered to walk | | with him. Before they'd taken more than a dozen steps, they found | | what could only be described as a glimmering, polychromatic "egg" | | lying on the ground. While entranced by the curious flashing object, | | neither one felt brave enough to touch it. | | | | Later that night they saw it in the claws of one of the alien | | creatures. At sunrise the campers made a mad dash for their cars that | | were parked at the bottom of the mountain. No trace of the aliens | | remained aside from their footprints, which were much larger than a | | human's and appeared to have been made by heavy creatures. The | | campers made plaster casts of the prints and photographed them. These | | materials were stolen by unknown parties some months after the | | incident. (Sources: David F.
