It had | | flashing lights around its center, and made a loud noise like a | | generator humming. It angled downward and landed in the distance. | | When they got to the place where it had landed it had already left, | | but it left a large melted oval in the snow.

As they came near to it they found that | | it was hovering and displayed two intense white lights, as well as | | one green and one red light. The object was bowl-shaped, and they | | lost sight of it when they drove away. They saw it again later, | | flying low on a south-north trajectory. (Source: Jacques Vallee, | | Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 735). | | | | 1966 - That same night a police reservist in Monroe Township, New | | Jersey saw a saucer-shaped object flying low enough that he could | | distinguish two figures moving about inside it. He chased the UFO to | | police headquarters before it disappeared from sight. (Source: David | | F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1966-10 (A0699), citing a newspaper report dated March 29, 1966). | | | | 1967 - Numerous reports came from Belt, Montana including one of an | | unknown object landing. A truck driver named Williams spotted a very | | large dome-shaped object emitting an intense light that had landed in | | a ravine. As he approached, it took off and settled back further | | away, hidden from the highway. At dawn, police and a Malmstrom Air | | Force Base helicopter made a search of the area, with negative | | results.

Brechant, his | | 11-year-old son Patrice, and his brother-in-law Mr. Cosme, were in a | | car on a dark night on a UFO hunting expedition. In a field near | | Songeons, France and some 250-300 meters away from the road, they saw | | a luminous ball whose light diminished in intensity. For a few | | seconds 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared beside it. They tried | | to drive around the light and observe it from behind. A second | | luminous ball, likewise in the field, was about 200 meters away. A | | triangular beam of light emerged from its base, pointing toward the | | left. Through binoculars Mr. Cosme could see two luminous silhouettes | | of humanoid beings, one behind the beam and one "sliding on it" | | towards the point, where it disappeared. They seemed to have | | elongated heads and enormously broad shoulders. He could not | | distinguish arms and legs but the one behind the beam seemed to carry | | a sack on its left side. This silhouette gradually "evaporated." The | | beam then went out, and then the ball disappeared. On their way home | | their car was pursued by a ball of yellowish-white light that turned | | yellowish-green at treetop level. The first saw it 300 meters away | | and it later approached to within 50 meters. (Source: David F. Webb | | and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case | | 1973-88, citing M. Carof & M. Lesbros for Lumieres dans la Nuit). | | | | 1974 - A witness driving between Sanlucar and Barrameda, Cadiz, Spain | | had his car engine die when he encountered a disc-shaped object | | hovering over the road. There was also a two meter tall being in a | | spacesuit. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case 11232, | | citing Lumieres dans la Nuit, March 1975). | | | | 1978 - On this day a 16-year-old boy had gone out into the woods near | | Penalva, Maranhao, Brazil and disappeared, and a search party failed | | to locate him. Eighty-one hours later a fisherman heard a shout for | | help and found the boy standing in a forested area, dazed and unable | | to stand up. He was taken to a local hospital where he was found | | incoherent and bleeding from the head where some of his hair was | | missing. Four of his teeth were also missing. He also seemed to be | | paralyzed. After three days later in the hospital he was able to talk | | about what had happened to him. He said he had been gathering guava | | fruit outside a wooded area when he heard a loud siren like sound. He | | looked up and saw a bright light coming from above the trees. He then | | fell down to the ground unable to move, and was then levitated up | | into a hovering flying object that had three spheres on the bottom. | | He entered the object through a window and fell softly on the floor. | | Inside the craft he encountered three short beings that wore uniforms | | with helmets and visors, and spoke in a loud, incomprehensible | | language. The boy was then taken on a journey to a strange land with | | no trees, no lakes, and no birds, and a darkness above him. He could | | only see a field with tall grass. He was then floated onto a stone | | table where he was examined. He felt liquid going down his throat and | | he passed out. His next memory was that of coming to in the hospital. | | (Sources: Bob Pratt, UFO Danger Zone: Terror and Death in | | Brazil--Where Next? p. 109; Albert S.

There | | were 30 other UFO reports on this night from Westchester, Putnam, and | | Dutchess counties. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek & Philip J. Imbrogno, | | Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings, p. 163; David F.

The mother | | described it as a very clear star surrounded by several lights. She | | pointed it out to the father who was driving. He stopped the car by | | the side of the road to get a better look. When he looks out of his | | left window he saw "many enormous lights" hovering only 100 meters | | above their car. The object was absolutely silent. The mother saw ten | | orange lights through the windshield that appeared to be blinking in | | a certain set pattern. She then began to feel extremely sleepy and | | had no energy to leave the car. She then realizes that her twins are | | fast asleep, and the father then enters the car and they drive home. | | They got home at 11:20, and realized that the trip that usually takes | | an hour had taken over two hours this time. The family has refused | | hypnotic regression because of religious reasons.

The creature was close to two meters tall, massively built, | | and had a bright circle of light on its chest from which bright beams | | of light emanated. It walked in a strange mechanical way. It had a | | huge head resembling a flattened saucer, and two long blinking | | devices jutting from the head resembling antennas or horns. The front | | of the robot's head emanated a sort of greenish steam that was very | | foul smelling. The frightened witnesses fled the area on foot. | | (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1990, citing | | Yaroslav Sochka, UFORussia). | | | | 2000 - A 40-year-old woman named E. King reported that she was | | abducted from her bedroom in Grimsby, Humberside, England in the | | predawn hours and taken to watch a surgical operation on a man. She | | was later returned to her home safely. All of her experiences were | | based on completely conscious recollections, with no hypnosis. There | | were three other UFO reports in Humberside and Lincoln counties that | | day. (Source: Lynn Picknett, Mammoth Book of UFOs, pp. 180-181). | | | | Written by Donald A.
