Project Blue Book explained it as a meteor. | | (Source: Project Blue Book cases counted in official statistics.) | | | | 1956 - In 1956 a 3-meter long metallic blimp with 3 or more windows was | | sighted in La Guaira, Venezuela at about 10 o'clock in the morning. | | It flew over the hills silently and slowly. (Source: APRO Bulletin). | | | | 1960 - Pilot Charles Morris filmed three silver discs with his motion | | picture camera, flying over Dubuque, Iowa at 5:57 p.m. The Air Force | | claimed that no unusual objects appear on any of the frames. (Source: | | Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume I), p. 40). | | | | Dubuque, Iowa - 1960 | | | | [image] | | | | 1965 - At 6:30 p.m. a farmer and his hired hand in Corvallis, Oregon | | saw from their car three yellowish-orange spheres rising fast into | | the sky from a nearby field. They rose from the ground in sequence, | | several seconds apart. The next day three oily spots were found at | | the site. Project Blue Book lists this case as an "unknown." | | (Sources: US Air Force Project Blue Book files counted in official | | statistics, case 9301; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century | | of Landings, case # 639; Don Berliner, Australasian Ufologist, April | | 1999, p. 52). | | | | 1967 - Just before midnight the Sodestrom family observed two | | plate-shaped objects, one 30 meters in diameter, the other smaller | | and gray in color, in Vilhelmina, Sweden. They hovered at close range | | for 15 minutes. The objects left with a hushed whistling sound, | | illuminating the forest with intense light. (Source: Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 822). | | | | 1967 - After midnight in Centre Sandwich, New Hampshire a clam-shaped | | UFO followed a car at a low level for several minutes. A dog in the | | car at the time was highly agitated, and its hair bristled in | | reaction to the close approach of the UFO. Approximately two hours | | later in Vicco, Kentucky another UFO shaped like half an eggshell cut | | lengthwise, hovered and maneuvered at a low level. A smaller object | | emerged from the underside of the object and flew away. The UFO | | varied in color from brown to red to orange to white. (Sources: | | Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, p. | | 279; NICAP case files). | | | | 1968 - Several close encounter reports were recorded for this date. A | | photograph of a UFO was taken in Tully, Queensland, Australia. At | | 2:00 a.m. a series of large luminous globes circled and swayed over | | the Ohio River for two hours near Ravenswood, West Virginia. At 6:00 | | p.m. a magnetic UFO detector went off when a UFO passed over in Carol | | Stream, Illinois. At 6:15 p.m. a cigar-shaped object approached a car | | in West Seneca, New York from the left, then went over the road in | | front of the car. The object was 50-60 feet long with blinking | | lights.The witness tried to drive away but the car wouldn't respond | | to the accelerator. As the UFO came quite near, the witness could | | only see a bright yellow light. The driver of the car felt sluggish | | and immobilized until the UFO went away. The object disappeared | | instantly.

Its headlights suddenly went out. The | | object appeared metallic and glowed orange while standing still, but | | glowed redder and brighter when it was moving. The object then | | approached their car and their car's engine conked out. It hovered | | overhead for a moment, during which time the witnesses felt increased | | heat and "weightless." The object left over a nearby field, emitting | | a cloudy haze all around its periphery. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO | | Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, case 235, citing CUFOS) | | | | 1968 - In Lapoint, Utah a 20-foot in diameter round UFO was spotted | | on the ground at 7:30 p.m. The witness watched if for half an hour, | | when its light suddenly went out. (Source: Frank Salisbury, The Utah | | UFO Display, Appendix case A65). | | | | 1968 - Ricardo Castillo Trujillo, a janitor, saw a long, very bright | | UFO at 1:45 a.m. making a noise like an electric motor. It landed in | | an isolated section of Valparaiso, Chile and two crew members | | emerged. They were dressed in aluminum colored uniforms. Although he | | could tell they were light-skinned, he could not make out any facial | | details. Speaking in strange echo-like voices, they asked him about | | his nearsightedness, promising him that the condition would be cured. | | "I didn't understand them too good," he said, "but the fact is that I | | can see real good now, and without glasses." The humanoids promised | | to return for the witness. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, | | HUMCAT, Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-19; Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, case 45). | | | | 1969 - In 1969 on this date the Canadian Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, | | Ontario were buzzed by a mysterious red light or craft, and reported | | by a number of RCMP officers at 7:45 p.m. Earlier that day at 6:40 | | a.m., on a highway 4 miles west of Atlanta, Missouri a truck's engine | | stalled and the CB radio failed to work when a 100' wide UFO hovered | | 50 feet above the highway and directed a strong beam of light onto | | the road. The driver felt a strong heat sensation coming from the | | object and described the light as brilliant.

It stood at the edge of the lot. When the officers | | approached, the figure disappeared quickly into a nearby acacia | | grove. No traces were found. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1974, citing Denys Breysse, Project Becassine). | | | | 1977 - Three UFO reports are recorded on this day in 1977 from Great | | Britain. At 8:00 p.m. an elliptical UFO changed color from white to | | red to green in Oxenden, England. It moved slowly and silently in the | | sky at an estimated altitude of 500 feet. Forty-five minutes later a | | cigar-shaped UFO w triangular fins on its upper and lower margins was | | sighted at Blackpool, England. At 10:00 p.m. in Lytham St James, a | | 9-year-old girl watched a 3-pointed object hover, spin, and change | | directions abruptly. The triangular craft had a yellow light at each | | corner and three red lights clustered underneath, and pulsated. | | (Sources: Awareness, July 1977, p. 20; Northern UFO Network News, | | July 1977, p. 1). | | | | 1982 - In 1982 at 10:30 p.m. a car on the A65 highway in Hellifield, England | | was surrounded by blue lights and levitated up into the air. The | | woman driver felt a strong sensation of cold, and experienced 30 | | minutes of missing time. (Source: Paul Devereax, Earth Lights | | Revelation, p. 112). | | | | 1988 - In 1988 a well-reported, well-investigated case occurred for over an | | hour off the shore of Lake Erie near Eastlake, Ohio. At 8:35 p.m. a | | very large illuminated ellipse or cigar-shaped object with smaller | | satellite objects hovered over, then landed on the ice on Lake Erie, | | not far from a nuclear power plant. Among the many witnesses included | | personnel from the local US Coast Guard station. (Source: MUFON UFO | | Journal, January 1989). | | | | 1990 - At 10:10 p.m. in 1990 two people in a car driving in New Albany, | | Indiana watched a huge, manta ray shaped UFO fly overhead at 150 mph. | | It had rectangular panels on the underside. One hour and twenty | | minutes later fishermen off the shore of Provincetown, Massachusetts | | observed several objects and one large craft ascend vertically into | | the sky until gone from their sight. (Sources: MUFON Investigation | | files; Paul Ferrughelli, Computer Catalogue of UFO Reports, 1988-94). | | | | 1992 - In Perth, Western Australia in 1992 a woman was jolted awake at 2:30 | | a.m. by a bright blue, glaring light. Through the glare she was able | | to see a four-foot tall being guiding her son down the hallway. | | Paralyzed at first, when the being was out of sight she found that | | she could move again. She ran and grabbed her son, at which point the | | figure vanished in a flash of white light. (Source: Albert Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database, case #2663). | | | | 1993 - In 1993 a UFO hovered over Shanghai, China in the night sky. It | | appeared to change shape as it hovered, then shrink in size until it | | vanished. (Source: UFO Newsclipping Service, March 1993). Three other | | unexplained UFO reports occurred on this date. At 12:45 a.m. a | | 35-year-old woman driving on US highway 23 north of Delaware, Ohio | | slowed for a lighted object, just off the highway at 50 feet | | altitude. When she stopped her car the UFO came down to 15 feet above | | the ground, then its lights went out and the object either went away | | very fast or just vanished. At 11:45 a.m. a large ball-of-light | | buzzed a police helicopter and released three smaller fireballs east | | of Lynview, Kentucky. Finally, a UFO case rated as a high-reliability | | unknown was recorded as occurring at 11:45 p.m. at Wilson Point, New | | Brunswick by the Canadian UFO Survey.
