The | | UFO evaded being filmed by the warplane's gun camera. (Sources: | | Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucer Conspiracy, p. 115; Dominique | | Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 23). | | | | 1958 - Two disc-shaped objects made fast maneuvers over the Woomera | | Missile Test Range at 10 p.m. in the desert of South Australia. They | | shimmered and changed colors as they flew. (Sources: Michael Hervey, | | UFOs over the Southern Hemisphere, p. 50; Loren E. Gross, The Fifth | | Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1958: March-April, p. | | 53). | | | | 1959 - Two silver spheres joined by a cylinder changed shape to a | | disc over Warsaw, Poland at around 11:30 a.m. (Source: Ion Hobana & | | Julien Weverbergh, UFOs from Behind the Iron Curtain, p. 212). | | | | 1960 - Making a noise like a gas turbine, a cylindrical UFO hovered | | over Vichel at around 3 p.m. in Puy-de-Dome department, France for | | more than five minutes, then shot away to the southeast, traveling | | sideways like an arrow. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, | | case 5897, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit Lecteurs). | | | | 1966 - At 11:45 p.m. John King, age 22, working with the Bangor, | | Maine Police Department, suddenly saw above him a very bright object | | with a dark underside. He fired at it four times with his pistol, | | hearing the bullets hit a metal surface as the object flew off. | | (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, | | case 736). | | | | 1967 - Three red discs hovered over Highway 10C in Joplin, Missouri | | in the predawn hours. They had windows with white light coming from | | them. The rose and flew toward the west, where they were joined by a | | fourth flying disc. (Source: APRO Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 1). | | | | 1967 - An intensely luminous object woke up several residents in | | Iguala, Mexico at dawn. People in trains going to Acapulco and people | | travelling by car saw the same phenomenon. The UFO came down to | | ground level giving off a blinding light, then took off. (Source: | | Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case | | 828). | | | | 1971 - At 12:30 a.m. six soldiers stationed at a radar base at Monte | | Pani, Cabo De Creus, Spain were alerted by another soldier to a fiery | | red, disc-shaped craft moving slowly over the area. The guard dogs | | began howling, and the men all watched as the UFO suddenly shot away | | at high speed. Moments later one of the soldiers screamed in pain | | from a sudden bright flash that seemed to come from the ocean nearby. | | Meanwhile one of the soldiers released one of the guard dogs, a | | wolfhound with a fierce disposition, that was going crazy inside his | | cage. The dog ran immediately towards some nearby buildings and was | | followed closely by two of the men. The dog slowed down and began to | | grow menacingly, and one of the men felt heavy static in the air and | | his tongue began to itch. Both men then heard a loud noise coming | | from some nearby bushes. They saw a huge bulky figure that seemed to | | move clumsily among the brush. The men yelled at the figure to stop | | but it changed directions and began moving away quickly. Seconds | | later the men heard another noise and felt something heavy moving | | towards them. They fired their weapons in the direction of the noise | | and everything became silent. A search of the area the next day | | proved fruitless. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact | | Database 1971, case # 1417, citing Antonio Ribera, Los Doce | | Triangulos De La Muerte). | | | | 1971 - At 8:10 p.m. two girls riding ponies in Denton, England saw a | | bright orange cross in the sky emitting sparks. It followed them to | | the end of a road, then vanished with a bang. One of the ponies was | | spooked by the explosion. (Source: FSR, March 1972, p. 28). | | | | 1972 - At 3:30 a.m. the witness was roused from sleep at his home in | | Soesterberg, Utrecht, The Netherlands by a loud humming sound and saw | | a bright light from his window. Looking out, he saw a blinding white | | light surrounded by a fog, and thought that his car was on fire. He | | ran out, started his car, and began to move it. His next recollection | | was that he found himself in a deserted moorland, and he stopped his | | car. Next, a "human like figure" ran past the car from the rear and | | then "suddenly...vanished." He got out of the car and saw a | | lens-shaped object on the ground to his left, about 100 feet wide, | | surrounded by a greenish glow. The green light came from windows in | | the craft, and three beams shining upward from it. In one of the | | windows he could see a human-like being. He approached on foot to | | within 10-12 feet, and he saw this figure motion to him to go back. | | The figure was between five foot and five foot four inches tall, and | | wore a tight fitting metallic looking coverall that had a belt with a | | tube that ran to his collar. He had almond shaped eyes and seemed to | | be smiling. Behind him was some sort of instrument panel. Several | | other humanoid beings were seen standing behind other windows. Then | | the object then "jumped" from the ground, floated for 30 feet, and | | then "hurled away" with a scraping noise to the wouthwest. Traces | | were later found at the landing site.

Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, | | case 1972-07 (A1146), citing the Dutch Ufological Study Center, The | | Hague). | | | | 1973 - Just after midnight Mr. Brechant, his 11-year-old son Patrice, | | and his brother in law, Mr. Cosme, were driving in a car on a dark | | night on a UFO hunting expedition in Therines, Oise, France. They | | spotted a luminous ball in a field near Songeons only 250-300 meters | | away. The light diminished in intensity, and for a few seconds 4-6 | | white luminous rectangles appeared next to it. Then next tried to | | drive around the field and observe the light from the rear. A second | | luminous ball was then seen in another field about 200 yards away. | | From its base emerged a triangular beam of light, with its base on | | the sphere and its apex pointing toward the left. Through a pair of | | 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 be carrying a sack on its left | | side. This silhouette gradually "evaporated," then the triangular | | beam went out, and next the luminous ball turned off. On their way | | home their car was pursued by a ball of yellow-white light, then | | yellowish green light at treetop level, which was first seen 300 | | meters away and later approached to within 50 meters.

Lesbros, Lumieres dans la Nuit). | | | | 1973 - At 11:00 p.m. a witness driving in Villevueve-sur-Lot, | | Lot-Garonne, France had a close encounter with a blazing ovoid object | | on the road ahead. The diesel engine of the car stopped, and the | | driver was frozen with paralysis for over a minute. (Source: Larry | | Hatch, U computer database, case 9891, citing Phenomenes Spatiaux, | | issue 40). | | | | 1974 - The witness was driving near Nogaro, Gers, France at 3:00 a.m. | | when the car engine died. A 0.9 meter tall green-colored dwarf was | | seen by the side of the road, who had unusually long arms. The car | | engine restarted spontaneously after coasting past the dwarf creature | | and the witness drove off. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, | | case 11236, citing Michel Figuet & Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier | | Dossier Complet des Rencontres Rapprochees en France, p. 462). | | | | 1974 - At 7:15 a.m. a 34-year-old man was driving in | | Balagny-sur-Therain, Oise, France an sighted a reddish orange ovoid | | shaped object hovering ahead of his car. The object shot up rapidly | | into the sky in a vertical ascent when witness's car neared. | | (Sources: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 142, p. 12; Michel Figuet | | and Louis Ruchon, OVNI: Le Premier Dossier Complet des Rencontres | | Rapprochees en France, p. 479). | | | | 1974 - Two farmers watched an orange ovoid object ascend from the | | ground in Ossey-les-Trois-Maison, France at 8:30 p.m. Ground traces | | were found. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, October 1975). | | | | 1981 - At 7:15 p.m. the crews of six boats saw a gray colored, 60 | | meter tall cone-shaped UFO hovering one meter over the sea off the | | coast of Ayamonte, Huelva, Spain for 20 minutes. It then ascended | | vertically. The weather was clear at the time of the sighting. | | (Source: APRO Bulletin, November 1981, p. 1). | | | | 1986 - A triangular object with rounded apexes approached and then | | hovered ahead of a car with three witnesses near Downingtown, | | Pensylvania at 12:30 a.m. It made no sound. The encounter lasted more | | than four minutes. (Sources: MUFON UFO Journal, December 1986, p. 8; | | Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, | | p. 368). | | | | 1995 - A huge luminous hemisphere or dome shaped observed was | | observed covering the roadway between Alencon and Bernay, Eure, | | France at around 4:00 a.m. A conical beam of light came from the | | bottom of the object. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case | | 17178, citing | | Banque OVNI, issue # 95). | | | | 2004 - At around 7:00 p.m. the crew of a commercial airliner flying | | near Omaha, Nebraska reported seeing four disc-shaped objects, which | | remained visible ahead of the aircraft for between 10 and 15 | | minutes.  The objects did not appear on FAA radar at anytime during | | the entire sighting. They had many lights and flew off to the west, | | where they were lost from view (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO | | Reporting Center, Seattle, March 2004 archived webpage; Larry Hatch, | | U computer database, case 18197, citing NUFORC). | | | | Written by Donald A.
