It moved | | around for 20 minutes as if observing the nuclear facility, | | zigzagged, and shot straight up in the sky. At 1:55 p.m. two | | Albuquerque, New Mexico Municipal Airport Weather Observers, Luther | | McDonald and Harrison Manson, watched a white, slightly elongated | | oval-shaped UFO for 90 seconds through a theodolite while it flew | | straight and level.

Gross, UFOs: A History. | | 1950: January-March, p. 26; (2) Project Blue Book files counted in | | official statistics, case 642; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO | | Unknowns). | | | | 1952 - A bright blue cylindrical object approached a B-29 flying over | | Antung, Korea at 11:15 p.m. It had a pulsating exhaust trail three | | times the length of the object. When it came within 3,000 feet it | | emitted a luminous beam of light.

(Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO | | Unknowns). | | | | 1955 - On this morning a cyclist riding his bicycle in Broadlands, | | Hampshire, England saw a man wearing blue coveralls signal him to | | stop.

(Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database, case # 858, citing Flying Saucer Review). | | | | 1958 - In the early morning predawn hours Dr. C. da Costa and two | | others were traveling by car in Conceicao Almeida, Brazil when their | | engine stalled near Santo Antonio de Jesus. It could not be | | re-started, and although they got out of the car to check the engine | | they could find nothing wrong, so they decided to sleep in the car. A | | short while later, at 3:05 a.m., a very large blue silvery | | disc-shaped object appeared with a flat ring spinning at high speed | | around the middle of the craft. It descended towards the ground a | | pendulum motion. Two of the men walked toward it, at which point it | | rose up to about 600 feet in altitude. The UFO then began a series of | | high-speed maneuvers, finally disappearing at 4:35 a.m. The car still | | would not start. At 6:30 a.m. the UFO appeared once more, looking | | silvery in color and hovering at a low altitude. It then shot away, | | vanishing almost instantly, and the witnesses' car could be started | | easily.

Killian on Flight | | 937 sighted three bright yellow-orange maneuvering lights, changing | | colors, above the cloud layer while flying over Philipsburg and | | Bradford, Pennsylvania.

The object emitted an extremely | | high-pitched, piercing tone of constant intensity. Lothar ran along | | the outside wall of his kitchen and threw himself on the ground | | behind some small bushes in front of the backyard fence. The whole | | area was brilliantly lit now. Next Lothar heard a short whistling | | sound, and felt a slight draft of air. He saw, appearing from | | nowhere, two strange alie- looking beings directly behind him. The | | figures were no more than 1.10 to 1.30 meters tall. The beings had | | somewhat human-looking bodies, but their long arms reached almost | | below their knees. Also conspicuous were their oddly cramped-looking | | fingers, reminiscent of those of spastic children. They wore somekind | | of frill around the neck - somewhat like a harlequin - with some 6-7 | | light green "star like serrations," but he could not make any other | | clothing. Their skin appeared to be paler than human skin. Their | | hairless heads were completely round, as were their clearly defined | | mouths. No nose or ears could be seen, and neither did they appear to | | have necks. The strange figures were rocking their torsos slowly back | | and forth. Their eyes were slanted and large like those of a cow, and | | they stared unflinchingly at the witness, who was now paralyzed with | | fear. He was so terrified that he beat upon the glass of the closed | | door, instead of opening it. Abruptly, the UFO and the entities then | | vanished "like a light being switched off." At least six other | | independent witnesses saw mysterious lights and objects over the area | | on the same date. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: | | Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1977-09, citing I. Von Ludwiger & | | I.

Several | | figures were visible inside the object, who also shone beams of light | | at the witness. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database | | 1992, case # 2395, citing UBPDV Brasil 1992). | | | | 1993 - At 10:30 a.m. a silent bell-shaped object, the color of | | brushed aluminum, buzzed a car being driven by two women between | | Mosca and Hooper, Colorado on Highway 17 in the San Luis Valley. It | | headed off toward the sound flying at 100 feet above the highway. | | (Source: Christopher O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 53). | | | | 1997 - A 50-year-old grandmother was sleeping with her grandchildren | | in a room in Brigantine, New Jersey and had left several lights on to | | comfort them. At 1:00 a.m. she awoke and noticed that the lights had | | been turned off. Her eyes slowly became accustomed to the dark and | | she felt a presence in the room. She then saw two short figures | | standing near her bed. | | | | She was then startled as one of the beings moved aggressively and | | grabbed her. She jumped up and punched the being in the face, and his | | skin felt like hard plastic. She struggled some more, grabbing the | | figure by the throat, noticing that the neck appeared horribly | | wrinkled. The being was about five feet tall and thin. She then bit | | the being; she said it felt like biting a cold piece of ham. After a | | few more minutes of struggling the being dropped to the floor. Next a | | third figure appeared in the room, and the two aliens who remained | | standing moved towards her. One brushed against her face and grabbed | | her wrist. He seemed to be stronger than the first. She suddenly | | fainted. When she regained consciousness the figures had gone. The | | children had apparently been left untouched. She suffered from a | | severe headache afterwards and found three puncture wounds on her | | neck. (Source: George Filer, New Jersey MUFON; Albert S.
