Near the Isles-sur-Suippe he noticed a | | sharp reddish gleam on the road ahead of him. It suddenly | | disappeared, and when he arrived at the point where he had seen the | | light he noticed an odd looking object in a field. It was about three | | meters in length and had the form of a large artillery shell with | | several portholes on the front. He was also able to distinguish a | | vague dark silhouette of a small humanoid figure. However, seized | | with fright he did not stay longer to investigate and sped away as | | quickly as he could. Three other workmen reported seeing the same | | gleaming light in the area.  (Sources: David F.

The object made a jet powered | | takeoff, leaving behind ground traces. (Source: Larry Hatch, U | | computer database, case , citing Dominique Weinstein). | | | | 1954 - At 7:15 p.m. an astronomer named Potter and one other witness | | in Norwich, England viewed a domed disc hovering for three minutes | | through a telescope. It had lit windows in the dome, and at one point | | made a 180 degree turn. (Sources: Leonard L. Cramp, Piece for a | | Jig-Saw, p. 374; Gavin Gibbons, The Coming of the Space Ships, p. | | 140). | | | | 1954 - On this evening Mr. and Mrs. Laroche from Paris saw a fiery | | sphere land near Chantonnay, Monchamps, France. At 9:30 p.m. near the | | military barracks in La Fere, Aisne, France two soldiers saw a | | strange luminous torpedo-shaped object on the ground 300 meters away. | | As one of them approached the four meter long craft, which stood | | about 80 cm high, he found himself paralyzed.  Finally, at 10:30 p.m. | | two women, Mrs. Salabrino and her adult daughter, saw a whitish light | | in the western sky in Villers-le-Lac, France. It seemed to slowly | | approach the ground, and was later seen between the railway station | | and the bridge 100 meters away from their house. When it moved, a | | very bright light was visible under its dark mass. It gave off a flow | | of sparks and rose, hovered for a moment, and then flew away rapidly. | | (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | cases 200-201; (2) The Humanoids: FSR Special Edition No. 1, p. | | 12; Michel Figuet & Jean-Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier | | Complet des Rencontres Rapprochees en France, p. 127; (3) Aime | | Michel, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery, p. 138). | | | | 1959 - At 8:15 p.m. U.S. Army Lt. Colonel L.

(Source: Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying | | Saucers: Top Secret, p. 256) | | | | 1964 - At 12:30 a.m. a thirty-foot in diameter silver domed disc | | hovered 30 feet over nearby trees in a cemetery in Haverhill, | | Massachusetts only 150 feet from the two male witnesses. It had a | | glowing bottom. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler case files, report dated | | October 8, 1964; Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, | | pp. 23 & 330). | | | | Haverhill, Massachusetts CE-I UFO - 1964 | | | | [Sketch of Haverhill, Massachusetts UFO - 1964] | | | | 1967 - At seven o'clock in the evening numerous strong radar targets | | were detected at the same time that elliptical, fuzzy objects with | | red and green lights were seen overhead at Vandenburg AFB, | | California. At least two objects were picked up on five | | separate radars. Scrambled jet fighters did not find them. They moved | | at speeds of 80 knots, and changed altitude. Most targets were over | | the ocean. The various Air Force explanations of mirages, birds, and | | anomalous propagation have been judged to be lacking in credibility. | | (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, August 1968, p. 6; Gordon D. | | Thayer, in Edward U. Condon (ed.) Scientific Study of Unidentified | | Flying Objects, p. 171; UNICAT, case # 679). | | | | 1967 - An abduction and sexual encounter occurred in Belfast, | | Northern Ireland at 10:45 p.m. Eugene Browne was walking home from a | | jazz club when he saw a craft in the sky. A yellow light came from | | it, which danced around him and made him feel dizzy and soon lose | | consciousness. He awoke on an exam table in a windowless, oblong room | | that was lit by a blue light from the floor. He was strapped by metal | | bands attached to an apparatus on the side of the table. Four men and | | a woman surrounded him; although they were human in appearance they | | had a bluish aura. The tallest was dressed in a dark one-piece | | uniform and said, "at last, someone who will do," and released him. | | The woman had long blond hair, high cheekbones and was very fair with | | a freckled complexion. He had sex with her and she told him they were | | "from another galaxy" and were experimenting to obtain human seed. | | Afterwards he was tied up and told it would not be long before he was | | returned. He blacked out again and recovered in a field about a mile | | from his original location. He had been abducted for about 40 | | minutes. He saw the object leave, which took off with a whistling | | sound as it retracted its tripod landing gear and flew off. He | | reportedly suffered somephysiological effects after the encounter. | | (Source: Charles Bowen, FSR, January-February 1970, p. 25). | | | | 1970 - At 4:30 a.m. two married couples, the Morrises and the | | Willies, traveling together on US Highway 63 twelve miles north | | of Rolla, Missouri had a close encounter with a luminous | | crescent-shaped object that descended very rapidly. The UFO appeared | | to have a saw-toothed bottom edge, and seemed to be dripping a | | liquid. It approached to within 50 feet of the ground, and then took | | off at a 70 degree angle at high speed, leaving behind a glowing | | trail. (Source: Kansas City Times, October 6, 1973; Mrs. K. Smith, | | BUFORA Journal, August 1971, p. 18). | | | | 1973 - Shortly after midnight a married couple in | | St.-Mathias-de-Chambly, Quebec saw bright lights on their property. | | Later that morning they observed a dome like a "tent" about a third | | of a mile away. A second, smaller object emerged from it and moved | | across the ground to a distance of about 200 feet from them. Five | | figures of small stature, wearing bright yellow garments and helmets, | | moved quickly back and forth between the two objects for a time. When | | the witnesses next looked, both the objects and the humanoids had | | vanished. Ground traces were found at the sight the next day | | consisting of three rectangular imprints arranged in a triangle with | | 34 foot sides. There was a 50 foot in diameter circle of burnt grass, | | and a second circle 12 feet in diameter next to a spring. The | | daughter, who investigated, subsequently suffered from nausea | | and headaches.

Webb and Ted | | Bloecher: HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-29; David | | F. Webb, 1973: The Year of The Humanoids; UNICAT, case # 512). | | | | 1975 - On this night in Santa Clara, California three witnesses had a | | close encounter with a saucer-shaped disc with a bluish white glow | | underneath. (Source: CUFOS News Bulletin, February 1976, p. 8). | | | | 1976 - At 7:20 p.m. six witnesses saw a domed disc-shaped object over | | a factory in Rive-de-Gier, Loire, France. A figure was seen moving | | about inside the dome. The object turned extremely bright and shot | | away rapidly to the east. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, March | | 1979). | | | | 1977 - A housewife in Fiesole, Italy had gone to visit the pediatric | | ward of the local hospital, and was looking out the window at 10 p.m. | | when she noticed a pulsating red light on the ground beside a nearby | | hill. It was the apparent size of a full moon. Moments later two | | similar pulsating lights descended at a 45 degree angle and came down | | near the witness. The woman opened the window and was able to see one | | of the lights dim, then stop and hover, as if preparing to land. At | | this point she was joined by other witnesses. The light turned | | silvery white in color and landed. It then began changing colors, | | first to red and then to silvery white. When the color was silvery | | white two human like figures could be seen moving slowly inside the | | length of the illuminated object. The other witnesses became tired of | | watching after awhile, and left to got to bed. Later, the original | | witness saw another light appear again in the same location. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, case # 1532, citing | | Maurizio Verga, ITACAT). | | | | 1979 - The witness had been watching television late at night by | | himself in Toms River, New Jersey when around midnight a sense of | | apprehension overcame him and an intense blue light appeared inside | | the room. It brightened and then faded. The witness armed himself | | with a handgun and went outside to investigate. He saw a bright light | | among the nearby trees. Something then touched his neck and he | | dropped his gun and fell to the ground, unable to move. Several | | shadowy, short humanoids came up to him. They had bright eyes, long | | fingers, and skinny arms. The beings seemed weak and fearful of him. | | They also felt cold to the touch. A light surrounded the witness and | | he floated towards a black cloud with a light inside. He next | | remembered being in a room where the beings touched him with lights | | and "drained him of energy." The beings never spoke to or otherwise | | communicated with the witness. (Sources: Thomas E. Bullard, UFO | | Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery ; Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1979, case # 495, citing Bullard). | | | | 1979 - A 28-year-old stone mason and his companion driving between | | Capulin and Des Moines, New Mexico at three o'clock in the morning | | had a close encounter with an octagonal UFO that came in low in front | | of the car. It was several times larger than the Moon, with light | | that was shining through sections of the object. It appeared to be | | metallic, with bolts "like a tank," and passed slowly and silently | | over the car headed eastbound. (Source: Allan Hendry, International | | UFO Reporter, July 1979, p. 14). | | | | 1990 - At 6:00 p.m. two police officers, Jacques Belanger and Stephan | | Filiatrault, driving on Route 317 in Thurso, Papineau County, Quebec, | | Canada encountered a bizarre looking creature about 1.50 meters to | | 1.80 meters in height and about 50 meters away from their vehicle. | | The figure had two long legs and two huge round phosphorescent red | | eyes. When the two officers stopped and attempted to approach the | | creature it quickly disappeared into some nearby woods. Its feet did | | not appear to touch the ground as it moved. (Source: Albert S. | | Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, case # 2353, citing the 1990 | | Canadian UFO Survey, Marc LeDuc, CASUFO). | | | | 1990 - A close up photograph was taken of a circular object with a | | dome on top and colored lights around the rim in Eveleth, Minnesota. | | The object made a low rumbling sound.

It had six lights on its | | perimeter. First it was seen hovering, then it moved about 400 feet | | in less than a second to hide behind some trees, and finally it | | vanished after being in sight for 15 seconds. The man reported that | | he felt a vibration in his head during the encounter. (Source: Donald | | M. Ware, MUFON UFO Journal, March 1992, p. 17). | | | | 1993 - At 9:10 p.m. two witnesses driving on the A52 highway in | | Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England had a close encounter with an H-shaped | | UFO that changed shape to a disc, then changed back again to an | | H-shape.

It had red and green lights around | | its perimeter, as well as four roving spotlights. She continued | | driving home and went back to look for it again ten minutes later, | | but by this time the object had gone. (Source: Jerold R.
