Walking towards an open door was a normal sized figure of human | | appearance. A second occupant was seen seated inside the object, | | through a squarish window. He was looking up at something in the | | craft. As the truck drove past the light rapidly faded until by the | | time she got the driver to stop only a single white light was visible | | in the distance. Both figures wore white silvery suits. She said she | | had been awakened by a "voice" just prior to her observation. | | (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of | | Humanoid Reports, case 1973-21; David F.

The | | truck motor stalled. Two men emerged from the UFO. They stood about | | 5" 8" tall (1.8 m), wore shiny spacesuits, and carried lamps. One | | touched one of the witnesses, who felt a hot searing sensation and | | suffered from temporary paralysis. He later claimed to be healed of | | his arthritis pain. Landing traces were found at the site. (Source: | | David Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case A1495, citing La Razon, September 8, 1976). | | | | 1978 -  The young witness, Juan O. Perez, had gone out at dawn to | | bring in a herd of horses in Venado, Tuerto, Argentina. At 6:45 a.m. | | as he rode his horse through the morning fog he felt something fly | | overhead. Next, several objects appeared and began maneuvering | | overhead, emitting powerful beams of multicolored, changing lights. | | His horse panicked and he barely managed to ride back home. When he | | got home, his father reprimanded him and ordered him to go back to | | get the horses. Back in the field he encountered a large round object | | on the ground; it had a dome on top with several round windows. A | | door in the craft opened, and a seven-foot tall being wearing gloves | | and a cylindrical helmet appeared. The being seemed to be attached to | | the object by some type of breathing apparatus. He invited Juan to | | come inside. They boy then tied his horse to the craft's ladder and | | climbed in. Inside, he was able to see a panel with buttons, tables, | | and a small robot-like being that was apparently busy | | disecting the large bones of some animals resembling either cows or | | horses. Afraid, the boy jumped out of the object and onto the ground. | | The tall being followed him out. He then requested that the giant | | give him one of the giant's gloves, as proof of the experience, and | | when he removed the glove he then saw that the being had green, | | claw-like hands with blue metallic nails. The being then pricked | | Juan's right arm, apparently extracting some blood in the process. As | | he rode back toward home carrying the glove, two flying objects | | caught up with him and emitted a small slab and sphere that descended | | and brushed by the horse, pulling off the glove like a magnet. | | Another curious feature of his report was that while inside the UFO | | the young witness attempted to touch the being and the object several | | times, but was prevented from doing it by what appeared to be an | | invisible barrier. Six days prior to the incident the witness's | | father had found a mutilated cow in one of his pastures.

Rosales, 1978 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case | | # 919, citing Jacques Vallee, Confrontations: A Scientist's Search | | for Alien Contact). | | | | 1978 - A man on his way to bed in Sassello, Italy heard strange | | sounds outside his house and looked out his bedroom window. He saw | | two round black objects sitting in the street. They made sounds like | | an incomprehensible radio dialogue, e.g. "bla, ble, bli, bla." | | (Source: International UFO Reporter, October 1979, p. 15). | | | | 1978 - On this same night in Cordoba, Argentina a luminous UFO, | | giving off red and blue sparks, started to emit a high-pitched | | whistling sound at 11:15 p.m. Power outages occurred throughout the | | neighborhood. The first UFO was joined by two or three other UFOs in | | an undulating motion, and together they flew off in a V-shaped | | formation. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, November 1978, p. 14). | | | | 1981 - Dogs ran and barked when a DC-10 sized cigar-shaped object | | flew silently low over the trees in Pollock Pines, California.

It floated at 3 mph from | | behind a tree, and was in view for 15 seconds. It had red, blue and | | green lights. It turned south, and then vanished. That evening at | | 7:30 p.m. four extremely bright red lights in a tight rectangular | | formation, traveling northeast to southwest, made a sharp angled turn | | to the right, then flew off to the northeast ascending at a 45 degree | | angle. It gave off a burst of black smoke when it turned. (Source: | | Francis L. Ridge, Regional Encounters, pp. 99-100). | | | | 1988 - At 11:00 p.m. in Trun, Orne, France a driver saw an orange, | | barrel-shaped object with ailerons as it flew over the road fast, | | made a turn, and then hovered over the roadway, apparently waiting | | for him. It was completely silent. When the driver turned off the car | | headlights, the object left. (Source: GEIPAN, case # 15). | | | | 1993 - On this night in her home in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia | | abductee Kelly Cahill awoke to see a slender, seven-foot tall being | | with red eyes standing next to her bed.

It had a large light with four others on either side; it | | appeared "misty". (Source: Frank Ducks, 1994 Canadian UFO Survey, | | case # 99). | | | | 1995 - The witness had fallen asleep in a chair in Ashland, New | | Hampshire when shortly after eleven p.m. he found himself lifted into | | a globular object and transported over a city where he saw people | | looking up at him. He then flew above what appeared to be an African | | savannah and muddy river, whereupon the craft then went up through | | the atmosphere an into outer space. He was then placed inside a | | transparent tub or tank filled with breathable fluid by two short | | Grey humanoids, while a third being observed. He remarked that he was | | surprisingly calm about the experience although he would normally be | | panicked. After a few more minutes he was allowed to walk to a window | | or screen. A huge metallic cylinder, apparently somekind of space | | station, began to fill the view from the left side of the window. | | There were white and blue lights running the entire length of it. | | Later, before being returned, he saw four other species of beings | | together in one place. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1995, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, | | Seattle). | | | | 1998 - A bedroom visitation also reportedly occurred in Bothell, | | Washington on this night. At two o'clock in the morning the witness | | was awakened by a white light appearing suddenly in a dark bedroom. | | Sitting up in bed, the witness observed two creatures staring up her, | | surrounded by the white light. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center, Seattle, September 1998 log). | | | | 2000 - Three days after a witness had filmed a strange UFO over the | | area, 31-year-old Gloria Siboa was walking home at 1:30 in the | | afternoon in Santa Cruz, Manila, the Philippines when she was | | approached by four women wearing black nun's habits that obscured | | their facial features. They seemed to be lost, and asked Gloria for | | directions. They failed to understand her directions, and invited her | | to board their van and accompany them to their destination. | | Strangely, she felt unwilling to resist and got in the van. As soon | | as she boarded the van one of the women covered her nose and mouth | | with a drug-laced handkerchief, knocking her out. Three days later, | | Siboa woke up still in the van that was headed to an unknown | | destination, and she was still blindfolded. She jumped out screaming | | for police. She could not explain where she had been for the last | | three days. Her abductors had taken her wallet and ID. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, 2000 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, case | | # 3937). | | | | 2006 - A multi-colored, oval-shaped object with blue, yellow and | | green lights passed 30 feet above the witness's car as he was driving | | in Greensburg, Indiana. The witness could hear a voom and a whistle | | coming from the object.  (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center, August 2006 webpage, report uploaded October 30, | | 2006). | | | | 2008 - At 7:30 p.m. three grayish, bullet-shaped objects flew near | | witnesses in London, Ontario.
